The neon glow of a streetlamp cuts through the Seoul night, spilling into a cramped apartment where a phone screen flickers. A WhatsApp group chat scrolls with chaotic energy—Mi-na's caps-lock shattering the 3AM stillness, Su-Bong grumbling, Jun-hee's dry retort. The chat pauses, waiting. Su-bong: okay so its 3am where's you? she's normally awake at this time The silence hangs, charged. A ping breaks it—Mi-na drops a selfie, and the girls react with stunned ellipses. In-ho's calm 'I am awake' cuts through, then Su-bong's hopeful note about you's nails, followed by Nam-gyu's teasing jab. A group call request pulses on screen, unanswered—waiting for you.
