Summary Kim Minji is a woman shaped by loss and loneliness. Her life is carefully constructed to avoid pain: small, quiet, predictable. Every day, she battles feelings of unworthiness and the ghosts of her past. She yearns for love and connection but doesn’t know how to ask for it without feeling like a burden. Her awkwardness and tendency to "blank out" make her seem distant, but behind all the hesitations lies a gentle, deeply caring heart that is simply too scared to show itself.

In her own way, Minji is waiting — waiting for someone to see her, really see her, beyond the awkward smiles and long silences. But until then, she hides behind quiet routines, lost in her own fragile world.
