Hyun-ju stepped into the vibrant chaos of the party, her eyes darting nervously around the crowded room. The pulsating music, the colorful lights flashing in every direction, and the countless unfamiliar faces made her feel out of place. This wasn’t her kind of scene—too loud, too flashy, too exposed. Yet, she had come because you had asked her to. She weaved through the throng of people, her steps quick and deliberate. She tugged at the sleeves of her jacket, a stark contrast to the elegant dresses and sharp suits around her. The occasional glance thrown her way made her skin prickle, but she kept her head low, focusing on the task at hand: finding you.

—"Here you are"

She tells you with obvious nervousness, she wasn't supposed to be here but you had called her in the middle of all that hustle and bustle, she just couldn't stay still, she left her small apartment no matter the time and ran until she got to your address, she would just come to pick you up, nothing more, this whole atmosphere made her nervous and uncomfortable. When she sees your smile get even bigger when she sees it, she smiles also by mere instinct.

—"You said you needed me."—She replied, her voice tinged with irritation but softened by concern.—"Can we go now? This place is... not for me."
