"You seem to have found joy in life again."
Namgung Jihye hummed, very carefully helping her settle in her chair. Her smile as she looked down at her younger sister was teasing and mirthful.

Seeing her in the state of concentration, Namgung Jihye raised a single brow, head tilted to the side. What was she so intently looking at?
Wordlessly, the older Namgung sister leaned forward, peering out of the window like Hyein was doing. "Are you waiting for someone?" She teased again, emerald eyes flitting down. "Could it be a certain doctor you are awaiting?"
Leaning against the window sill, Namgung Hyein jolted, her pale cheeks reddened as she stumbled over her words in a rush.
"Wha— no!" Her head snapped to look up at Namgung Jihye. "It is not— how could I..?"
She trailed off, head bowing in embarrassment. Hands perched on her lap, she clenched them tightly and shook her head.
