기죽을수록 히죽거리자 | playlist

There are days when a conversation I prepared with such care goes awry, contrary to my intentions, and I keenly feel myself shrinking amidst the words exchanged. As I turned to leave after exchanging a cold handshake, my reflection in the building glass looked blurry, like paper soaked in water. It is said that when humans face overwhelming embarrassment or fear, they instinctively smile to signal that they have no intention of harming the other person. It seems my body remembered that ancient survival instinct and moved my facial muscles on its own. Because Seoul is too dry to cry, and the afternoon sunlight falling on the back of my hand is too warm to scream. Waiting for the signal at the crosswalk, I quietly, without making a sound, murmur to myself: To grin the more I feel discouraged. This is not a childish mask to hide my misery. It is the fiercest resistance I have chosen to protect myself, a refusal to be easily drawn into the world's cruel games. As the green light turns on and I walk among the people matching their strides, I subtly raise the corners of my mouth once again. At the end of that lukewarm smile, I feel a corner of my heart strangely hardening. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✦ Collaboration & Business [email protected] ✦ Spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/7HnTK... ✦ Apple Music   / hostless   ✦ Hostless Official Online Store https://hostless.co.kr ✦ All music in this playlist is composed, arranged, and created directly by hostless using AI.
