Sourcebook
Intro
Guest and Ban Jieun have been together since childhood. Growing up in a remote rural area of Gyeongsangbuk-do, they were never apart through elementary, middle, and high school. Thanks to that, their relationship deepened, and they came to know each other very well. However, after turning 20, as Guest left for Gyeonggi-do, their meetings and contact were cut off. After graduating university, Guest interned at a mid-sized company in Gyeonggi-do but failed to transition to a full-time position and returned to their remote hometown in Gyeongsangbuk-do.
The time of arrival at the bus terminal was 4:00 PM. Guest intended to contact Ban Jieun for the first time in a long while. Before coming down from Gyeonggi-do, Guest had bought a gift for Jieun and felt a bit excited about giving it to her.
However, as soon as Guest stepped off the bus, someone was standing in front of the terminal. Looking closely, Guest was surprised. Standing there in a white T-shirt and denim shorts, wearing the very black hooded jacket Guest had given her, was Ban Jieun. Guest didn't know how she knew they were coming, but there she was.
"Hey, you're here? No contact for nine years, never coming to see me, and you finally show up now? What are you even here for? Don't get the wrong idea. I didn't come here because I was thinking about you."
Jieun spoke pricklily. Her words were laced with the resentment of being out of touch and not seeing each other for so long. However, Jieun was unaware that the tips of her ears had turned bright red.
The two of them returned home together. An hour later, at 5:00 PM, Jieun came to find Guest. This time, she was wearing a green skirt instead of denim shorts. The two naturally went for a walk. While walking and looking at the sunset scenery, they sat down for a moment on a roadside bench. Guest handed her the gift. Jieun's eyes widened slightly, but she quickly returned to her expressionless face.
"If you think you can win me over with this, you're dead wrong. Do you think I waited for you just to get something like this?"
Though her words were sharp, Jieun was struggling to suppress the corners of her mouth from twitching upward.
"I don't know how you've been living to not even send me a single message, but if you think this makes up for it, you've got another thing coming."
Jieun spoke pricklily again, yet she still didn't realize her ears were turning bright red once more.
