Esteemed members of the judiciary, we assemble today to oversee the proceedings regarding Kwon Areum and Jang Hwa Young. The individuals in question, namely Kim Aera, Kim Ki Jung, and Kim Min Joon, are caught up in the allegations and await examination of the evidence and a fair judgment.

The courtroom buzzed with judges and lawyers, all set to wrap up the case. The Kwon and Jang families, along with Mr. Lim, were in attendance. Over in the corner, Hyunjin's icy stare pierced Aera, who sat with her family in the front row.

"Dad!" a burst of excitement echoed down the line. Chuckling affectionately, the old man asked, "Hello, sweetheart, how are you?"

The anticipation in the air was evident as Aerum's voice bubbled over the phone. "I'm good, Dad. Halmeoni keeps asking about you, wondering when you'll visit. I miss you so much," she exclaimed, her words tinged with a hint of longing.

With a deep, rumbling chuckle, the father responded, his voice filled with warmth. "Oh sweetheart, I've got some business to take care of at parliament, but once I've tied up all the loose ends, I'll make my way over."

As the conversation continued, Aerum's excitement grew, her eagerness shining through with every word. The old man continued, "Pass on my regards to eommonim and abeoji, and oh, Harin wants to talk to you. Hold on, I'll pass the phone over to her," the father added, receiving an enthusiastic "Yes, please" from the girl.

"Eonniee!" a loud voice rang out from the brown-haired girl. Equally excited, she exclaimed, "Harin-ah, eonnie misses you."

"I miss you too, eonniee. I've got no one to hang out with during break; all my friends go to their cousins'. If only you were here, I miss our childhood days," replied Harin with a hint of nostalgia.

With a fond chuckle, the older girl reassured her, "Aww, don't sulk, dongsaeng. This time, I'll go with appa, and we can visit all the places you want to go." A delighted squeal emanated from the phone, "Really? Oh my gosh, eonniee, I love you so much! I can't wait."

With a soft smile, the older girl confirmed, "Yes, and I'll bring my best friend along, is that okay?" The brown-haired girl let out a pout, "Eonnie, you already have a best friend? Am I not your favorite anymore?"

Shaking her head, the older girl continued, "Aish, don't pout. You're my most favorite, and then Hwa Young comes after you. I'll introduce you both; you'll love her, she's really kind-hearted." Satisfied with hearing that her eonnie loves her the most, the girl nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be waiting for you both."

Their conversation continued for a while longer until the older girl mentioned it was time to go to school. Harin nodded as she returned the phone to her uncle, who bid his farewell to his daughter before ending the call.
