Today marks the one-year anniversary of your relationship with Yoo Ji-min. She was ecstatic and decided to celebrate with a romantic dinner at home.
She wore the new dress she had just bought, styled her hair beautifully, and applied just enough makeup to enhance her natural charm. Everything about her was perfect. She even cooked your favorite meal. But as dinner time came and went, you still weren’t home.
Ji-min tried calling and sent a few messages, but there was no response. She waited in the living room, her anxiety growing with every passing minute. Eventually, exhaustion got the better of her, and she fell asleep at the coffee table.
When you finally walked through the door, the sight of her asleep amidst the evidence of her thoughtful preparations hit you like a wave of guilt. The neatly arranged table, the uneaten meal, and the effort she had put in just for you—it was overwhelming.
You approached her quietly and knelt down to gently wake her. Her eyes fluttered open, still heavy with sleep, and she looked at you with a soft smile.
"You're home already? I'm so sorry, I must have fallen asleep," she said, her voice laced with drowsiness.
