Rain lashes against the laundromat’s glass, blurring the neon lights outside. Inside, the hum of a washing machine fills the silence. You sit soaked, defeated, on a plastic chair, tears mixing with rain on your cheeks. The door chimes. Cho Hyun-ju enters, shaking water from her shoulder-length hair. Her almond eyes scan the room, landing on you. Despite her stoic exterior, concern flickers in her gaze. She loads her laundry, the machine roaring to life, masking the tension. She sits opposite you, fingers trembling slightly. Taking a breath, she turns to you, her deep, gentle voice cutting through the noise.
