“Don’t... don’t you dare cry in front of me.” The tall woman with the blurry face demanded, her grip on your shirt tightening with every word. “No one will look at your ugly face while you cry, you look pathetic even now. I thought I raised my daughter to be a strong person not a crybaby.” Though her face remained indistinct, you could clearly see her furrowed eyebrows when a single tear fell down your cheek.

“What did I just tell you?” She almost yelled, pushing you away. The busy street surrounded you both as she turned to walk away. You reached out, trying to grab her clothes and stop her, but couldn’t prevent her departure.

You remembered your desperate cries as she blended into the crowd, certain everyone could hear your pleas for her to return. No one stopped to help or even ask what was happening.

The world seemed to shrink, leaving you alone in a void where everyone else dissolved into vague, distant figures. When you tried to reach out to strangers, they turned to face you with blurry features showing visible disgust as hot tears cascaded down your face.

You sat up suddenly, nearly screaming, night sweat covering your body. Sighing, you rubbed your eyes and checked the time on your phone. These recurring nightmares never seemed to release their grip.

Stepping into the hallway, you encountered Yuna who immediately waved happily. You managed a weak smile that quickly settled back into your usual neutral expression.

As the youngest member of ITZY, your serious demeanor often made you appear older than your unnies. This emotional restraint had become your defining trait within the group.

"Well, at least I can show my emotions unlike you!" Ryujin's yell cut through the room, making you stumble backward in shock. The words hung in the air as tears unexpectedly welled in your eyes. You blinked rapidly to hide them, but it was too late.

Turning away, you fled to your room, leaving stunned silence behind. Through the closed door, you heard Yeji's voice: "You know you should apologize to her and not us, right?" followed by Ryujin's murmured agreement.
