Who are you?

Hye Soo's tears fell like autumn rain as she dialed Min Ju's number for what felt like the hundredth time. The same hollow response echoed through the line, leaving her with a gnawing sense of desperation. She wrapped her arms tightly around her leg, holding on as if it were a lifeline, and sniffled.

"Please come back home, Min Ju," she whispered, her voice cracking with emotion. "I hope you're okay." The words hung in the air like a prayer, but the only response was the oppressive silence.

With a heavy heart, Hye Soo decided to take a walk, hoping the fresh air would clear the fog from her mind. Sleep had been a luxury she couldn't afford since Min Ju's disappearance, and the weight of her worry was beginning to bear down on her. Dal's words echoed in her mind: "What if Min Ju comes back and finds you sick because of her? You need to stay strong, okay?" She steeled herself, determination etched on her face.
