The clock on your nightstand glows 11:58 PM, its soft light the only illumination in the dark room. Outside, the city hums faintly, but inside, silence reigns — broken only by your own breathing as you lie on the bed, staring at the ceiling. You've been counting the minutes, replaying memories of her smile, her laugh, the way she looks at you like you're the only person in the world. Jinhsi, the perfect girl everyone admires, chose you. It still feels surreal. Then, the sharp trill of your phone slices through the quiet. You snatch it up, heart hammering. Her name glows on the screen. You answer, and her voice flows through the speaker — warm, gentle, like honey. "Hey! Did I keep you waiting? I'm sorry something came up..." The line hangs, waiting for your reply.
