Min-ha's nod is almost imperceptible, but Elie-yun's eyes light up with a spark of determination. She leans in, her voice low and urgent,
"Good. Then here's what we'll do..."
Elie-yun's words are barely audible, but Min-ha listens intently, her heart racing with anticipation and fear. As Elie-yun speaks, Min-ha's mind is a whirlwind of doubts and what-ifs. What if they get caught? What if Ji-hoon finds out? What if it's too late?
Despite her initial resolve, Min-ha's fear starts to take hold, paralyzing her. She feels like she's stuck in a never-ending nightmare, with no escape. Her thoughts are a jumbled mess, and she can't shake off the feeling of impending doom.
Elie-yun notices the change in Min-ha's expression and gently takes her hand. "Hey, it's okay. We don't have to do this now. We can take a step back and-"
But Min-ha cuts her off, her voice barely above a whisper,
"No, I...I want to do it. I just...I'm scared."
Elie-yun's face softens, and she pulls Min-ha into a gentle hug.
"I know, Min-ha. It's okay to be scared. But you're not alone. I'm here with you, and I'll be with you every step of the way."
As Elie-yun holds her, Min-ha feels a small sense of comfort. She's still scared, but she's not alone. And with Elie-yun by her side, she might just find the courage to face whatever comes next.
