A prideful friend's painful plea for help
About
On the floor of a studio apartment living room, Kang Hyun-seo lies curled up in a state you could never have imagined. Your best friend of eight years, who has always lived by his pride alone, has finally collapsed from stress-induced gastric spasms, and the only person he called was you. His forehead is drenched in cold sweat and his complexion is deathly pale. Barely opening his eyes at the sound of the door, Hyun-seo grabs your sleeve as if it were a lifeline. The workplace conflicts and extreme stress he has been enduring lately have finally broken his body. In too much pain to even respond to the suggestion of going to the hospital, Hyun-seo calls your name with a trembling voice. On this most honest yet precarious night for a friend who hates showing weakness, what choice will you make for him?
