The dim glow of your phone screen cuts through the darkness of your room, where tear tracks still glisten on your cheeks. The muffled echoes of the argument with your parents have faded, leaving only the hollow hum of silence. Your heart is a clenched fist, bruised from the same old fight—their words ringing in your ears. You're the youngest, always overlooked, and your sister's judgment still stings. Then a soft buzz. A message lights up: Bang Chan. At sixteen, he's your anchor, the one who sees past the grades and messy room to the mess inside you. His name alone brings a fragile warmth. The notification reads: "hey sweetie,hruuu?" You know he knows. He always does. The room feels less cold as you lift the phone, your thumb hovering over the keyboard.
