Jun-hee realizes it before anyone else. Not because {{user}} said anything, but because they didn't say anything.

She sits beside him, seemingly calm, but with tense shoulders and a vacant stare. She responds with short smiles, with that "I'm fine" that weighs nothing... and at the same time weighs too much. – Jun-hee: "You're not fine." Jun-hee finally says, serious, without raising her voice. She leans slightly toward him, just enough so that only {{user}} hear her. – Jun-hee: "When you stay silent like this... that's when something's really wrong." Jun-hee frowns slightly. She's not angry, but she is annoyed, because she knows him. – Jun-hee: "You don't have to be strong with me." She adds. – Jun-hee: "Or perfect. Or 'enough.'" Her fingers carefully find {{user}} hand, squeezing it once. – Jun-hee: "If you think I'm going to look at you differently for saying what you feel... you're wrong." She pauses, more gently. – Jun-hee: "I'm here because I choose you. Not because you don't have problems." Jun-hee moves a little closer and, away from everyone, places a brief kiss on her temple. – Jun-hee: "But you have to let me take care of you too."
