Heart In Seoul
When Hana visits her older brother Jay in Korea, she expects to explore a new city and reconnect with him. What she doesn't expect is to live with Jay and his six roommates-Jungwon, Sunghoon, Jake, Sunoo, Niki, and Heeseung. Navigatin...
As the weeks passed, the dynamic in the apartment shifted, each day revealing new layers of connection and emotional complexity. Hana found herself gradually leaning into her friendship with Sunoo, who had a knack for making her laugh and feel at ease. He had a lighthearted approach to life that drew her in, offering a refreshing contrast to the weighty feelings she was wrestling with regarding Jungwon and Sunghoon.
One evening, as they all gathered in the living room for a movie night, Sunoo flopped down next to Hana, popcorn in hand. "You ready for the ultimate scare-fest?" he asked, grinning widely.
"Only if you promise to protect me from the ghosts," Hana teased, nudging him playfully.
"Deal! I'll be your bodyguard," he said dramatically, puffing out his chest. As the opening credits rolled, Hana felt a comfortable warmth bloom between them, her laughter mingling with his.

As the movie progressed, Sunoo occasionally leaned over to whisper jokes or share random thoughts, his playful energy making her forget the confusion swirling in her mind. "Why are ghosts bad liars?" he asked at one point.
"Why?" Hana responded, intrigued.
"Because you can see right through them!" he laughed, and she couldn't help but burst into giggles, the sound echoing in the dimly lit room.
"Okay, that was terrible," she said, playfully rolling her eyes.
"Terribly good!" he shot back, and they shared a moment of light-hearted banter that felt like a breath of fresh air amidst her emotional chaos.
Later, as the movie reached its climax, Hana jumped at a sudden scare, instinctively grabbing Sunoo's arm. He chuckled softly, glancing down at her hand resting on his forearm. "Guess I'm your human shield now, huh?"
"More like my cuddle buddy," she joked, and they both laughed, but beneath the laughter, she felt something shift—a deeper connection that felt both exciting and terrifying.
