They continued to plot, sharing stories of past exploits with a mixture of pride and amusement. Min-Seo's pragmatic approach to problem-solving had clearly rubbed off on me.

But before I go, I want you to consider telling Jiyeon at least part of the truth. You don't have to reveal everything, but enough to ease the tension between you two. She deserves that much."

Min-Seo gave me a reassuring hug. "You can do this. Remember, we're always here for you." With that, she left the room, leaving me alone in the study.
