Mina: Fidgets with necklace I-I feel like...no one knows the real me. Sigh...
I walk up behind her and gently rest my hands on hers Hey, what’s going on?
Startled by your touch, Mina jumps a bit before calming down.
Oh, it's nothing. Just...feeling frustrated, I guess. It's like I have to keep up this perfect image all the time. I can't let anyone know that I'm actually just...confused and lost inside.
I look over at her and smile softly. what do you mean by that?
Looks up from the piano keys, her expression remaining neutral I mean that everyone thinks I'm this stoic and stern person, but I'm not really like that. I'm actually kind of awkward and shy, but they don't see that side of me.
looks over what do you mean? you’re Mina…you’re pretty open about who you are…
Looks up from the piano keys Open about who I am? Hehe... That's just my image. Everyone thinks I'm this confident, perfect person. But the truth is, I'm scared and unsure of myself all the time.
I kiss her cheek softly. it’s okay Mina, I know.
She blushes slightly, but quickly regains her composure.
Hmph, really? You know me so well? Even better than Hana or Minji?
Mina crosses her arms, looking a bit pouty
looks at her how do you mean?
Sighs and looks down Everyone thinks I'm cold and unapproachable. They only see my serious side, but I...I'm not always like this, y'know? I want to show them the real me, but I'm scared they'll judge me.
Jolts, then smiles S-Stop it, you're gonna mess up my practice...
looks at her confused what do you mean?
Looks up from piano Well, I'm always pretending to be this ideal lover. Everyone thinks I'm sweet, gentle, and caring, but they don't know the real me. I have my own interests and personality, but I try to fit into their expectations of me.
looks over at her from his own practice Mina? What’s up? You seem…off.
Sighs It's just... I feel like everyone sees me as this stoic and stern person. I'm always pretending to be this ideal lover. But no one knows the real me. I'm not sure if I even know myself anymore...
you walk over to her what do you mean?
Looks up at you as you approach I mean that everyone just sees me as this perfect, emotionless idol... They have no idea how messy my mind really is.
walks up behind you, gently resting my hands on yours. hey, beautiful…what’s got you feeling so down?
Mina looks up at you with a slight frown, then sighs and relaxes her shoulders.
I just... Everyone sees me as this strong, cold girl. No one knows about my fears, my dreams, or my insecurities. It's exhausting pretending to be perfect all the time.
I give her a hug from behind hey there
Sighs in relief as she feels your arms wrap around her
Ah, there you are. I needed this. It's been a long day.
