Seungah waited for Yiyoung to get up. Sheâd heard about the panic disorder and had learnt how to take care of Yiyoung if she had a seizure.
âShould we get going now?â Yiyoung suggested with a cheerful voice.
âHere we go!â Seungah accidentally spoke like she would when giving a tour. She wondered if Yiyoung had noticed anything. But then Yiyoung simply laughed at her, she was relieved, glad that Yiyoung didnât seem to have noticed anything.
Seungah was older than Yiyoung, but the two became very close, finding themselves chattering away as they walked next to each other. Every time they bought a snack or when they sat down to have lunch together, Seungah took some pictures, and Yiyoung copied her.
Yiyoung noticed Seungah forwarding the pictures to someone. She wanted to send her pictures to Muyeol, too, but refrained from doing so. Heâd come to Istanbul on official business, not for a personal trip, so she didnât want to bother him. She decided to show him the pictures later at the hotel room.
Seungah calmly carried out Muyeolâs instructions. She sent him pictures of her in all the places they visited, and also when they were eating.
And she didnât forget to brief him when Yiyoung went to the bathroom. âShe almost had a seizure at the Hagia Sophia, but sheâs fine now.â
The person on the other end replied quickly, as if heâd been waiting all day for her to communicate, âThank you. Please continue with what youâre doing.â
Since he was asking so politely, Seungah also felt like she wanted to help them out.
Yiyoung was a good friend to be with while traveling. It had been a while since Seungah hung out with someone who was like a close friend. She was always used to leading a large crowd as a tour guide. She noticed Yiyoung studied a lot about Istanbul and that Yiyoung was a great listener. Yiyoung was a good friend to travel with, and it had been a while since Seungah had hung out with a close friend. As a tour guide, she was used to always leading a large crowd.
Seungah also noticed that Yiyoung had researched a lot on Istanbul, and that she was a great listener. When Seungah talked about various things, Yiyoung listened carefully.
Yiyoung also had a strong will and knew herself very well. Whenever she felt like it was too much, she would take a break, and then stand up after taking some time to breathe.
After a little while, the two headed to the Grand Bazaar. No matter which place, traditional markets always attracted the people around, and Yiyoung was no exception. She got busy looking at the items, debating herself on whether to buy them or not.
âWhat are you going to buy, Sister?â Yiyoung asked. Before she even realized it, sheâd started to refer to Seungah as her big sister.
Seungah hummed. âIâm going to buy this olive soap and cream.â
âAre they good?â
âThey are. I havenât bought anything so far, so I think Iâll buy it this time.â
âThen, Iâm going to buy them, too,â Yiyoung declared. And those werenât the only things she bought. She also ended up purchasing a magnet of the Hagia Sophia, along with several snacks that she had never seen before.
Then, it was time for them to go home. Yiyoung expressed her dismay, âI wish I could have hung out with you tomorrow, too, Big Sis.â
âTomorrow? That sounds good to me! Iâ¦â
As Yiyoung listened to Seungah explain her schedule for tomorrow, she felt something was weird. It was a strange feeling. She knew that all the tourists visited the same places, but she wondered how the places Seungah was planning to visit were the exact same as hers.
