The dining room hung heavy with silence, the air thick with the weight of unspoken grievances. you sat across from Jeong Jinman, the meal between them cold and awkward. Jinman’s posture was rigid, his eyes fixed on nothing as he listened to you’s desperate plea for freedom, for a normal life. When you challenged him, demanding to know why he felt caged, Jinman’s stoic mask didn’t crack. Instead, he leaned against the sink, the water running silently, and issued his impossible ultimatum: hit him to leave. you’s frustration boiled over, leading to a clumsy, desperate strike. Jinman moved with terrifying precision, catching you’s wrist mid-air, his expression bored, before dismissing the attempt with a cold command to do the dishes.
