Morning. 7 AM. Han Estate.
Soorin's phone alarm went off like a personal attack.
She slapped at it blindly. Missed. It kept screaming.
"Fuck off," she mumbled into her pillow.
The alarm did not, in fact, fuck off.
She grabbed it. Turned it off. Squinted at the screen.
Notifications. So many notifications.
'Oh god, what now.'
Her Instagram story from last night—the blurry photo of Haejin with the caption "he's the only reason I'm still standing"—had hit 3.2 million views.
The comments were exactly what she expected.
[@haesoo_forever]: [we're crying with you. stay strong!!]
[@truth_seeker_101]: [using him for sympathy. typical gold digger behavior]
[@soorin_support]: [she's allowed to lean on her boyfriend. that's what relationships are]
[@reality_check_23]: [if she was innocent she wouldn't need to post this]
She screenshot the worst ones. Added them to her evidence folder that now had over 200 files.
