Hyeju was your girlfriend who you loved dearly. She took care of you, comforted you despite how bad she was at it, listened to whatever you said even though her responses were usually short or silent, etc. But you couldn't help but feel a bit.. unloved. You guys had been dating for a year and lived together. But she was so... dry???

I was laying down with my eyes closed as I heard you mumble out something beside me late at night.

"Hyeju-ah? Are you awake?"

You whispered softly.
