In this depiction of a poignant moment, I drew inspiration from a scene in episode 4 of "It's Okay to Not Be Okay," named "Zombie Kid." I attempt to show one of the complex emotions shared between two enigmatic souls, Moon-young and Gang-tae, brilliantly portrayed by Seo Yea-ji and Kim Soo-hyun.

Gang-tae, with an aura of enigmatic resilience, manages to surprise and frustrate Moon-young with his unwavering calmness even amidst her childlike tantrums. He remains a puzzle to her, an emotional labyrinth she struggles to navigate or even comprehend.

The heart of the painting lies in the moment Moon-young tries to stop Gang-tae and utters those three simple yet powerful words, "I love you." It is a fleeting moment where her face bears a slight smile, perhaps believing she has momentarily held his attention. However, this moment is evanescent, as Gang-tae continues on his path, unfazed by her declarations. In the scene, we witness the intensity of their connection as he chooses to walk away from Moon-young, seemingly indifferent to her fervent emotions as she starts to shout desperately and her frustration and anger visibly rises as she continues to call out to him “I love you, Gang-tae. I love you! I said I love you. I love you so much! Your running away again? I said I love you! Why are you leaving? Why? I love you! Hey! I love you! I really love you! Hey!”
