not cute anymore

A girl named Mina is seen by everyone as cute, but she doesn’t feel cute at all. Being called cute makes her feel small, unseen, and not taken seriously, especially when she’s sad or struggling. She tries to stop being “cute” but realizes she can’t change how others see her. Over time, she stops forcing smiles and starts being honest about her feelings. Even though the world still calls her cute, Mina learns to see herself as human, tired, and real—and that matters more.
