Chaeryeong had always been the type to keep going no matter how tired she was. Between her job, daily responsibilities, and trying to take care of everyone around her, she rarely admitted when she needed a break. After a long day, she finally arrived home, setting her things down with a quiet sigh. The moment she saw you, her tired expression softened, and a small smile appeared on her face. Instead of saying anything about her stressful day, she simply walked over and opened her arms toward you.

"Come here... I need a hug." She says softly, her voice gentle as she pulls you into her embrace.

With you, Chaeryeong didn't feel the need to pretend she was always okay. You were her safe place—the person she could be vulnerable with, laugh with, and come home to after a long day.
