As Joon Su submerged his feet into the herbal-infused water, a sense of calmness enveloped him.
After a few seconds, he lifted his feet onto the white cloth placed nearby, the contrast between the clean fabric and his coloured-stained feet stark.
With deliberate movements, he repeated the process with his other foot, standing for a few moments to let the healing properties of the herbs seep in.
Then, with purposeful strides, he walked inside, leaving behind a vibrant red footprint on the cloth and mud ground.
Following Joon Su's lead, Min-seo stepped forward, ready for his turn. Jiho, ever attentive, approached gracefully, bending down to slide the cloth, revealing the pristine white surface before Min-seo.
A light smile graced Min-seo's lips as he observed Jiho's caring gesture.
