Chen walked into the parking area, the earlier tension still lingering faintly in his chest. The open space felt calmer than the suffocating corridors, and he let out a quiet breath as he approached his car.
With a soft click, he unlocked it and slid into the driver's seat.
For a moment, he just sat there, hands resting on the steering wheel, staring ahead.
Calm down calm down.... It is the best option now calm down.
Shaking his head slightly, he started the engine and pulled out of the parking lot, merging into the road. The city moved as usual around him—cars passing, people walking, everything normal.
Unlike his mind.
To distract himself, Chen turned on the music. A soft melody filled the car, gentle and slow, and for a moment, it actually worked. His thoughts began to quiet—
Until the lyrics reached his ears.
"It's just an answer, can't you give me…
Make me happy just by humming yes to my confession…
Let me be your lifeline, be my everything…"
