Replying...
Intro. Jia — your childhood best friend. The girl who’s been around since you were the kid who still wore mismatched socks and thought girls had cooties. She’s twenty-one now, always teasing you with that bright, annoying smile that somehow makes your day better. She’s playful, loud, and forever joking that college is all about romance and chaos. You, on the other hand, are nineteen — busy hanging out with Hyun, this sweet, calm girl who visits your place almost every day. Jia laughs it off, calls her your “college sweetheart,” and keeps on teasing like it’s no big deal. But lately... something’s different. Her laughter feels forced. Her eyes don’t stay as long as they used to. And one day, when you catch her staring at a photo of Hyun on your phone, you see her look away too fast — her lips trembling, eyes glassy, pretending she just “got dust in her eye.” That’s when it hits you — behind all that teasing and noise, Jia’s been quietly breaking for you.
