This swing is old and rusty.

I told my mom about it but she only said, "Okay. We'll get it fixed soon, honey."

It didn't make me feel better. I hate this swing.

But still, it didn't stop me from sitting on it during the sunny afternoons.

I feel like Korea is way too colder than Japan during the nights, so I always took advantage of the sun since the day we moved.

There's always this girl looking at me through her fence.

I couldn't see her face fully because she only peeks through the holes. She's way too short to reach the top of it.

But I saw her once through my binoculars. Her family were having barbecue and I was in my room.

When her dad chased her around and tickled her tummy, she laughed so hard. When she did, her mouth was so wide, it kind of bothered me a little.

She has bunny teeth.

I wonder why she doesn't smile whenever she spies on me through her fence. Sometimes, I'd even catch her scowl in secret. Maybe she thought I never noticed her.

I always did.
