Stories by Suho
- I open the group chat I want to leave, even at the café — I worry that leaving the group chat might change things between us, so I check the notifications even when I'm sitting alone at a café. When that happens, before I tap “Leave,” I separate what people are actually saying in the chat from what I’m worried about.
- The Night After the Rumor Spread, Waiting for a Reply — After a false rumor spreads online, you tell someone, but when there’s no reply, you keep reopening the screen. While you wait, I look at what you can save first, so you don’t have to take on correcting the rumor and keeping yourself safe all at once.
- I filed a report, but I don’t know what to keep track of after I shower. — After filing the report and taking a shower, I want to stop thinking about it, but I still find myself checking where the case details were saved. Suho says it helps to separate what’s visible on the screen from what I need to note down myself.
- I looked at an old photo again — When I opened an old photo again, a question I’d never asked appeared on the screen. What happens next if I don’t answer it?
- Whenever tastes come up, I feel like I’m the one who’s wrong. — When I talk online with people who like different things, I find myself reopening the comments even after I’ve shared my opinion. Suho helps me separate a difference of opinion from someone ganging up on me.
- I’m out for a walk when someone I don’t know starts a video call. — I sit on a bench to catch my breath, and a video call from someone I don’t know pops up on my screen. Before answering, Suho takes a moment to consider who might see my face and what’s around me.
- On the way to work, I wonder who to tell. — On the subway, I type a message, then delete it. Some days, I’m unsure who I can tell, or how much to share. When I choose someone to talk to, I also think about how far my story might travel.
- A gift comes every payday — I said I wouldn’t accept it, but every payday they offer me a gift again. I turned it down once, so why does the conversation start over every time?
- Someone I’d seen online was standing outside my home. — Around quitting time on Friday, when someone I’d seen online shows up outside my home, it feels like something from the screen has suddenly followed me to my door. Before my memory of it gets fuzzy, I take a separate look at what actually happened and what was left online.
- I keep thinking about that call after the work dinner. — After someone spoke to me threateningly at the work dinner, I kept listening to the call over and over. When I write down what happened, I look at the whole conversation and the time of the call, not just those words.
