Through Sunsets and Midnights

E.1

You guys don't need to read this but I like writing 'epilogues' to make myself feel contented.

This is one of the four parts of the four very long chapters of what I think happened next.

I repeat, no need to read but if you'd like to then I insist you do if you have spare time :>

"Is this ever gonna end?"

Chaewon asked herself as she keeps doing the same thing over and over again,

For the past 10 minutes after she cooked herself a home-cooked meal after a long time of not having one.

She's slowly regretting using so many bowls and pots just for one dish yet when she was eating it by herself earlier in front of her tv,

She never knew that such a thing would make her feel so much like herself again,

After not really knowing if she's still her for the past few weeks now that winter's slowly arriving.

Other than the first snow fall and the steaming hot snacks crowding the streets of Seoul,

Chaewon never really liked the whole season of winter,

It makes her feel so lazy every time it gets a little bit colder than what she's used to,

And the result of that is her not really wanting to leave bed anymore.

It's been like that ever since she was a kid and she could say that her moms have their own contributions to it that's why she's still like that until now,

One liked fall and the other liked spring,

That's two seperate seasons and Chaewon has never found anything so precious to her unlike it.

Finally rinsing the suds off the last pan she could see underneath her hands,

She's still deceiving herself that the final outcome of her Boiled Beef Stew is all worth it for everything,

That is either currently hanging in front of her or is on her drying rack so she could store everything later before she goes out,

She's not really a fan of wiping her plates and utensils dry,

That's why her mom always gets mad at her for leaving things out after she's done washing the dishes,

She never really knew who she got that from but an old photo simply provided her an answer to her question,

After seeing her other mom in a picture with tons of drying plates seen behind her back.

Hearing two faint knocks coming from the door as soon as she started wiping herself with a clean handkerchief,

Chaewon stopped with what she was doing even though the said handkerchief was still in her hands when she looked directly at the door,

Anticipating the person behind it since she only knows a singular person who actually knocks on her door that's not aiming to tease or annoy Chaewon.

She keeps insisting that every time someone presses a doorbell button,

It could build up the energy someone could use to turn a light bulb on another place,

So she lets her do her thing since it does makes sense after all.

Throwing the handkerchief over her shoulder,
