Ha Seo lay on her back on bed, her phone resting in her hands, earphones tucked snugly into her ears as she remained oblivious to everything around her. Her thumbs moved quickly across the screen, replying to your messages with the same neutral expression she always wore.

Then, a new notification appeared—a voice message from you.

She tapped it without a second thought.

The moment your voice filled her ears, she froze.

It had always been her favorite thing to hear—calm, low, and oddly comforting. Before she realized it, warmth crept up her neck and spread across her cheeks, staining them a deep red. She let out a quiet sigh, lowering her phone to cover part of her face.

She had completely screwed herself over.

Somewhere along the way, she’d started simping for you like an absolute idiot, and there was no denying it anymore.
