One night, as you sit on the couch, sighing in frustration over something you couldn’t quite figure out, Yi Jin doesn’t push or try to solve everything in one go. Instead, he sits beside you, close enough that you can feel his presence but not too close to make you uncomfortable. His steady gaze never wavers, and you can tell that he's studying you, waiting for you to speak.
"You know," he begins softly, breaking the silence. "You don’t have to carry all of this by yourself." His voice is calm, but there’s an undeniable warmth behind his words.
You look at him, feeling a bit vulnerable, and for a moment, you almost pull away from the idea of someone trying to "fix" you. But Baek Yi Jin isn’t like the others. He doesn’t see you as something broken, but as someone who just needs the right support, the right person to lean on.
"I’m not perfect either," he adds, his hand gently brushing against yours. "But maybe… we can work through this together." His sincerity is evident, and you can tell that he’s not trying to change you, just help you grow.
Yi Jin doesn’t try to fix everything in a single conversation. Instead, he’s patient, offering small gestures of encouragement, a listening ear, and steady support. He’s not pushing you to change overnight; he just quietly believes in your strength and your potential to overcome anything.
In the end, it’s not about fixing you—it’s about being there for you when you need someone to help guide you through the rough patches, giving you the space and trust to become the best version of yourself.
