1. "Oh my gosh, our Hayeon, you're just too cute!"
1. "My little sunshine~~"
2. "Come here~ Did you sleep well last night?"
1. "Hahaha"
1. "Today's your very first birthday, you know that?"
2. "Let's throw a big party and go have some fun outside, okay?"
1. "Mami, I wanna hold Hayeon too!! I want to hold her"
2. "Your Ahyeon unnie can't wait anymore~ Let her give you a bath, okay angel?"
3. "Hahaha"
1. "Hahaha"
2. "Yes yes, I'll dress you up so pretty and put makeup on you Hayeon"
1. "Thank you everyone for coming to celebrate Hayeon's first birthday."
2. "A year ago, she came into our lives like a little miracle"
1. "And today, seeing her smile surrounded by love, we're truly grateful."
2. "Having all of you here already makes it perfect. Thank you for the wonderful gifts for Hayeonie"
3. After the party ended... Hayeon just wouldn't let go of eunha. She kept clinging to her like a little koala
1. "Pweeeetty pwetty"
2. I can't believe this... She's never even once
1. She's never, even once, called me or aerin pretty....
2. "Thank you, sweetheart. But your mami is the prettiest one here"
3. "...!"
4. "Mami...?"
1. "Hehe!"
3. "?"
1. "......"
1. "?"
1. "Huhuhu-- pwetttyyy-- !!!pwetttyyy"
2. I honestly... Still have no idea why eunha suddenly left.
1. "It's fine now Mami, she got tired and fell asleep"
2. Poor our hayeon cried so hard her eyes got puffy...
1. Ahyeon is such a gentle little soul.
1. Every day when we came home tired, ahyeon would hum a lullaby and help put her little sister to sleep
2. But she's also the loudest one in this house...
1. "Mommy,"
2. "Mommy!!"
3. "...."
1. "Mommy, good luck at work!"
2. "I hope your contract goes well!"
3. "Don't forget to buy Hayeon a cotton candy Aerin"
1. Whenever aerin's not at home, and hayeon is sleeping...
1. "I love you. I'll protect you forever"
1. It's just me and ahyeon again, watching movies together...
1. "Mami, Do people who love each other always kiss like that? Like you and Mommy do?"
2. "Yes, baby. You should learn that too."
3. "One day, you'll kiss the person you love like that"
1. "......"
1. "Kim jisoo!!! Kim ahyeon!!!"
1. "What the hell were you thinking letting ahyeon watch that?!"
2. "But mommy, it's a nice movie!"
1. "When I grow up, I'll marry Hayeon and protect her like that!"
2. "Mami said we're not bio sisters, so it's okay!"
1. "........!!!!"
2. "%#$tegf%"
1. "Death wish much?"
2. "Don't make me throw both your sorry asses out of here!"
1. Go ahead, toss me out
1. See how well you sleep without me wrapped around you.
1. Back then,
2. Aerin and I... We didn't really understand what happiness was
2. Neither of us knew how to hold on to it and cherish it properly.
3. But as we grow older,
1. I guess, happiness was just this.
1. A small family outing. A quiet home to go back to, two hearts still trying, despite the cracks
1. No matter how fierce the storm, a beautiful sunny day will always come to us
2. Together with the people we love
1. And there's our yoonhee unnie, too, always so patiently standing behind us all this time
1. If she hadn't been there for us, our two baby angels might not be here with us today
2. May happiness come gently to her...
1. And to every single one of us
1. "Dr. Kang, We found Ms. Kwang"
1. She is currently parked in Y neighborhood with a blue delivery truck
2. You can still
1. "catch her if you head there now"
2. "Found it!!!"
1. It's really her vehicle!
1. Nervous
2. "A..h..What should I say to her..first? It's been many years.. what if she refuses to talk to me?"
3. Nervous
1. "Jihyun ah"
1. ".....!"
1. Finally!! My first series - HATE THAT I LIKE YOU This imperfect, fragile little world I created, has been with me for almost 4 years. And now, it has reached its end.
1. When I first began this journey, I didn't believe anyone would notice it. I didn't think it would succeed, or grow, or touch anyone's heart.
2. I only had one small dream: To have maybe a hundred people who would read my work and find something in it worth staying for and to earn a little to support my sick mother and auntie.
3. This story has flaws, many flaws and I know it better than anyone. But none of my characters were ever meant to be perfect. I drew them with their cracks showing, with their wounds unhealed, with mistakes they couldn't take back. Because that's what I see in the real people around us - quiet struggles, hidden shame, silent fears, moments when the darkness feels heavier than we can bear.
4. I hope you like it, even just a little bit
1. There will be side stories I still want to share with you.
2. However, They won't be released on Webtoon; they'll only be available on Patreon.
2. 20 y.o Dr. Choi first time bathing a baby
3. 2 y.o Eunha
1. Thank you! For every comment, every silent read, every moment you spent with my characters. Thank you for giving meaning to these four years of my life.
2. Thank you for still being here with me.
3. See you next year with a new series!
