After one of the games, you saw Myung Gi standing alone, staring after the girl as she walked away. Their conversation had been brief, but there was a clear heaviness to it.

You approached, trying to make sense of it. "What happened?"

He turned to you, his face set with frustration.

"I thought we could start over, fix things. But she doesn’t want that."

He exhaled sharply, the disappointment evident in his voice.

"She left. I’m here, alone again."

You stayed silent, letting him process, unsure of how to respond to the quiet pain he was carrying.
