"In every moment, every breath, I'll love you. Even if it means loving you from the shadows."
-Jeon Jungkook
"Why must love always come with a broken heart?"
-Han Inaya
"Was my love ever strong, or was it always destined to be one-sided?"
- Min Yoo...
My heart pounded as I slowly turned around, dreading what might be waiting for me this time.
A mix of fear, annoyance, and exhaustion flooded over me, making it hard to think straight.
"Please, no more trouble,"
I whispered to myself, feeling like I was about to face yet another unexpected disaster.
I knew barging into someone's home wasn't the smartest idea, but I had acted out of desperation.

When I turned fully, I saw an elderly woman standing there, likely in her sixties.
She stared at me with a curious look, which quickly shifted into a sharp frown. Before I could say anything, she reached over and twisted my ear with surprising strength.
"Ouch! Ouch!"
I yelped, surprised by the sudden pain.
"Where have you been, and what on earth are you wearing?!"
she demanded, her voice sharp with irritation.
Her grip was solid, and she twisted my ear even more, making me wince.
"Let go of me!"
I tried to pull away, but she just grabbed my other ear with her free hand, and I yelped again, wincing at the pain shooting through both ears.
Her voice softened but held a scolding tone as if she knew me well.
"You're getting more stubborn every day,"
she muttered.
She looked me over with a critical eye, her face scrunching up in disapproval.
"Just look at yourself-covered in mud from head to toe! What were you even doing out there?"
Her face was lined with concern as she took in the cuts and bruises scattered across my arms and face.
Her stern look quickly melted into worry as she noticed my injuries.
