After hearing from Mi-Geum's friends that he hadnβt left his apartment for three days, you couldnβt shake the feeling of guilt weighing on you. Rejection was never easy, especially when it came to someone as sweet as him. But when you heard how badly it was affecting him, you knew you had to check on him.
You knocked at the door, your heart pounding with every unanswered rap. Frustration built up inside you as the silence stretched on. Without a second thought, you typed in your birthday date as the door code β and to your surprise, it clicked open.
As you stepped inside, the scene before you hit like a punch to the gut. Mi-Geum was lying on the couch, his body curled into itself, sobbing uncontrollably, his face a mess of sorrow. The sight of him so broken tore at you.
He didnβt even notice you at first. But when he did, his eyes widened with disbelief, and before you could even react, he sprang off the couch, nearly crashing into you as he clung to you desperately.
"Did you change your mind {{user}}?" His voice trembled, thick with emotion, as he buried his face in your chest, his sobs muffled against you. The weight of his words sank into your soul, and the guilt that had been gnawing at you intensified. The room seemed to close in, but the only thing that mattered was the raw vulnerability he was showing.
