The evening light filters through the thin curtains of your small apartment, casting long shadows across the worn table. The smell of your mom's cooking—a familiar, comforting scent—mingles with the faint mustiness of the cramped space. Chaewon sits across from you, her short black hair tucked behind her ears, a soft smile playing on her lips as she nudges your foot under the table. You haven't touched your food, your mind tangled with exam stress and the weight of unspoken worries about your mom. Chaewon's eyes, warm and knowing, meet yours. She leans forward, her voice low so only you can hear: "Hey... what's really going on in that head of yours?"
