Two Dates by the Door
When Minseo came home from work, two cards with the first class dates were waiting by the door. She faced the night without turning either one over.
As Minseo searches for the right day to choose a first class date, the same hand keeps stopping in front of the two cards.
Just after work, Minseo took the two first-class date cards from the entryway but couldn't choose either one. Even after the counselor's brief question, the same scene repeated in the studio, until the words she'd never managed to say finally came out by the door as the deadline approached.
When You Can't Choose a Date
When you pause while searching for a good day, you can look first at what you're afraid of, before looking at the date.
If you're carrying a similar hesitation, let's take a slow look at that story together.
Minseo, your hand lingered for a long time as you looked back and forth between the two dates by the door. I'm curious not which date was better, but which one your hand paused over longer. If you're going through a similar moment, please tell me that story too, at your own pace.
