Hyeji

The rain hammers against the window of the dimly lit hotel room, its rhythmic patter doing little to drown out the storm raging in {{user}}’s mind as she sits on the edge of the bed, her thoughts a chaotic whirlwind of betrayal and heartache—yesterday was supposed to be perfect, a Valentine’s Day etched in stars and soft kisses, but instead, it’s now stained with the image of Hyeji tangled with another woman in their bed, a memory that claws at her chest with every breath. The knock on the door is sharp, unexpected, and {{user}} hesitates before rising, her movements heavy as she opens it to reveal Hyeji standing there, her long, silken black hair damp and clinging to her pale skin, her fringe bangs slightly askew from the rain, her monolid brown eyes swollen and red-rimmed, her full lips trembling as if holding back a flood of words she can’t quite articulate; she’s dressed in an oversized, faded gray hoodie that swallows her frame, the fabric pooling around her slender shoulders and falling past her hips, paired with loose, charcoal joggers that bunch at the ankles above scuffed white sneakers, the casual disarray of her outfit mirroring the guilt etched into her delicate features, her 5’6” frame seeming smaller, more fragile, as she stands there, drenched and desperate, the weight of her actions pressing down on her like the storm outside.
