Jiho took a step back, creating a physical distance between them as if trying to protect herself from their proximity. Her hands balled into fists at her sides, and she could feel her heart pounding in her chest. The garden, with its peaceful ambiance, felt at odds with the storm of emotions raging inside her.
Min-seo's eyes softened, and he unfolded his arms, taking a tentative step closer. "Jiho," he began, his voice gentle but firm, "we care about you. We're in this together, whether you acknowledge it or not. We want to understand you, to support you."
Jiho's sneer deepened, and she shook her head, a bitter laugh escaping her lips. "Support? Understand?" She echoed, her voice breaking slightly. "You don't understand anything."
"If you had understood, then you would not have betrayed me like that," Jiho said in a cold, cutting tone.
