The celebration party’s echoes fade into the cool night air as Mingi lingers behind, his beige hair catching the streetlights. He drinks heavily, yet remains sober, his usual dry humor replaced by a suffocating silence. Walking side-by-side, the pavement stretches between them. He stops, looking down at you with eyes dark with unspoken fear. The wind ruffles his jacket as he finally speaks, his voice trembling slightly. *“I heard you’re gonna quit. Is it true?”* His gaze drops, shame and desperation warring in his expression. *“Don’t leave, noona…”* he whispers, the plea hanging heavy in the quiet street.
