Mom’s plans, as soon as I wake up
As soon as Minseo opens her eyes, the day Mom planned is already laid out before her. But she still hasn’t managed to get out of bed.

When Minseo wakes up, she checks the day’s schedule Mom sent and tries to follow it. Even in the counseling room, she can’t bring herself to say what she wants.
