Shin Hye felt the walls closing in. It was as if something was blocking her lungs because she suddenly couldn’t breathe. She couldn’t stop the tears so she turned around and covered her mouth with her hand, muffling a sob. Not here, Shin Hye. Not in front of him, she told herself. She clenched her jaw and forced herself to get it together. With every ounce of energy she can gather, she spoke the last words she’ll say to him in a long time.
‘Don’t be. I get it. Annyeong, oppa,’ she said before heading out the door.
