"You should talk more with your brother. He has really changed. I'm sure you'll find him helpful as well. He's someone who would do his best if you ask for it."

"Aren't you busy?"

"Not at all. If I could hang out with you, I'd cancel any promises even if I did have any."

"You're joking, right?"

"Do I look like it?"

Haneul pointed at the café in front of them and walked ahead. Bada tilted her head in puzzlement before following.
