✓ My Dorothea | SOOBIN

Somewhere Between Fantasy and Reality.

The moon hung low in the night sky as Soobin returned home, eager to continue his conversations with Dorothea. But as he stepped into his little house, a chilling realization struck him—Dorothea was gone.

"Soobin, we had to do it. Your friends and I thought taking Dorothea might bring you back to reality," Yeonjun hesitated, guilt etched on his face.

Soobin's eyes widened with disbelief, his voice shaky. "Wh-where is she? What have you done?"

Beomgyu stepped forward, sympathy in his eyes. "Soobin, we were worried about you. We thought you needed to let go of this illusion."

Tears welled up in Soobin's eyes as he frantically scanned the room. "You don't understand! Dorothea was more than an illusion. She was a part of me, a companion who understood."

Taehyun, trying to justify their actions, added, "We just wanted you to face reality, Soobin. To live in the real world with us."

Kai, the one who had sought the goddess's help, spoke softly, "We thought it was for your own good. To free you from this fantasy."

Soobin, overcome with grief, shouted, "You took her away from me without understanding what she meant to me! How could you?"

Yeonjun, guilt-ridden, explained, "Soobin, we just wanted you to live in the present, not in a world of clay and imagination."

Soobin collapsed to the floor, tears streaming down his face. "You didn't just take Dorothea. You took a part of my soul. How do I live without her?"

The room fell silent, heavy with the weight of regret. Soobin's sanctuary, once filled with the whispers of companionship, now echoed with the painful sobs of a heartbroken artist and the remorse of well-intentioned friends who had underestimated the depth of his connection with the clay creation.
