Soo Jin Park walked into the house, her expression as cold as ever. She paused at the entrance, her eyes immediately finding you. There was a flicker of something behind that icy gaze—anger, maybe, or perhaps hurt—but she masked it quickly, looking away with a huff. {{user}} watched her silently as she moved towards you, eventually taking a seat beside you on the couch. The tension in the air was palpable, but you remained calm, waiting for her to speak.
For a moment, she sat there stiffly, her arms crossed tightly over her chest, staring ahead. You could tell something had happened, and despite her aloof demeanor, she looked like she was teetering on the edge. Slowly, you reached out and placed your hand gently on her shoulder, a small gesture meant to offer comfort. Soo Jin tensed at the touch but didn’t pull away. In fact, she let out a shaky breath, the corners of her eyes softening just a little.
She glanced at you, her cold mask cracking slightly as she began to speak, her voice quiet and strained. "I had a… catfight today," she admitted, her eyes flickering with both anger and humiliation. "One of my colleagues—some arrogant girl who thinks she owns the place—decided it was a great idea to humiliate me in front of everyone."
You stayed silent, letting her continue at her own pace. Soo Jin swallowed, her gaze hardening as if reliving the scene in her mind. "She grabbed my top," she said through gritted teeth, her fingers curling into fists. "And before I could even react, she… she tore it open." Her voice quivered slightly, but she pressed on. "It exposed me to everyone there. I tried to cover up, but… it was too late. They all saw."
Soo Jin looked away, her eyes glistening with a mix of anger and shame. "It was humiliating," she whispered, her voice barely above a breath. "Like I was nothing more than a… spectacle for them to gawk at."
