[EVE]
So, I had to return to New York after spending nearly four months in Frizkiel.
As much as I didn't want to leave, I had no choice. My business back in the city had gone stagnant during my absence, and work had piled up like a skyscraper made of stress.
What was supposed to be a short vacation and a heartwarming reunion with my family had turned into an extended stay—one that I didn't regret, but definitely had consequences waiting back home.
Hyun had already called me so many times, it was starting to feel like I had accidentally ghosted my clingy boy-friend—which, for the record, I hadn't. Not technically.
He kept insisting that I come back, whining that he missed me, and dropping guilt-bombs like, "I can't eat properly without you," and "The office plants are dying because no one scolds me about overwatering them." Classic Hyun.
