Ryujin found herself working overtime in the dimly lit office, but her mind was far from the tasks at hand. Instead, it kept drifting back to Yeji and Minju's planned outing. 

She couldn't help but wonder what they were doing, what they were talking about, and if her place in Yeji's life was still secure.

As she typed away at her computer, her thoughts kept wandering, and she couldn't shake the feeling of insecurity that had settled in her heart. 

She trusted Yeji, but her ex's sudden reappearance stirred up emotions she hadn't anticipated.

Hours passed, and Ryujin continued to work diligently, but her focus remained divided. She couldn't wait for Yeji to return from her outing with Minju, hoping that the conversation she was dreading would finally happen and provide some clarity to her racing thoughts.

Defeated and weary, Ryujin left the office after a long day of work. The city streets were shrouded in darkness as the night sky stretched above her. She walked alone, lost in her thoughts and memories.

As she made her way through the quiet streets, her mind wandered to the times when she and Yeji had walked together, hand in hand, beneath the soft glow of the moonlight. Those moments had been filled with warmth and happiness, and Ryujin missed them terribly.

But now, it felt like something had changed. The presence of Minju in Yeji's life had introduced a new layer of complexity to their relationship, and Ryujin couldn't help but feel a growing sense of unease.

With each step she took, Ryujin couldn't escape the feeling that her connection with Yeji was slipping away, like the moonlight fading with the dawn. 

She yearned for the days when it had just been the two of them, walking together under the stars, their love shining as brightly as the moon above.

As Yeji sat alone in her car, her mind felt like a chaotic storm of emotions. The 'outing' with Minju had left her feeling vulnerable and confused, and her thoughts were tangled in a web of conflicting feelings.

She couldn't help but question herself. Why was she even thinking about Minju when she was in a committed and loving relationship with Ryujin? It didn't make sense, and yet, her heart seemed to have a mind of its own.

Minju's return stirred up memories and emotions that Yeji thought she had left behind. She was drawn to the familiarity of their past, the history they shared, and the connection that had once been so strong.

But she also felt guilty and torn. Ryujin had been nothing but supportive and loving, and she didn't deserve to be caught in the middle of Yeji's emotional turmoil.

Yeji gripped the steering wheel tightly, her gaze lost in the darkness outside. She had no clear direction in mind, both in her car and in her heart. 

The road ahead seemed uncertain, and she couldn't ignore the tangled mess of emotions that threatened to consume her.

In that moment, Yeji felt lost and adrift, her heart torn between the past and the present, between Minju and Ryujin. She knew that she needed to find clarity, but right now, all she had were questions, doubts, and a sense of confusion that seemed impossible to untangle.

Yeji found herself in a dimly lit bar that seemed to be a world away from the complexities of her life. The atmosphere was cozy, with soft jazz music playing in the background, casting a soothing spell on the patrons.

The bar was adorned with vintage decor, dark mahogany furnishings, and plush leather barstools that invited patrons to take a load off and forget their troubles, even if just for a moment. Dim, warm lighting created an intimate ambiance that cocooned the visitors in a bubble of comfort.
