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 they stepped into the apartment, the familiar scents of late-night snacks and the soft glow of fairy lights welcomed them. The air was still charged from the tension of the night, but Hana felt a flicker of warmth in the shared space. Everyone began settling in, but she sensed the unspoken feelings swirling around, especially between Jungwon and Sunoo.
"Let's talk about what happened tonight," Jake suggested, his tone serious as he gathered everyone in the living room. "We need to be on the same page."
Hana nodded, her heart racing. She felt exposed, like a raw nerve in the middle of the room. As the group settled, she took a deep breath, preparing to dive into the emotional depths they all needed to explore.

"Okay, so who wants to start?" Niki asked, glancing around the room.
Jungwon spoke first, his voice steady but laced with emotion. "I guess I will. I feel like I've been a mess tonight. Seeing Hana and Sunoo together—it hurt more than I expected. I thought we were building something special, and now... I don't know what to think."
Hana felt her heart twist at his words. "Jungwon, I didn't mean to hurt you. It's just... I'm still figuring out my feelings."
"I get that," he replied, running a hand through his hair. "But it feels like you're pulling away, and I don't know if I'm losing you."
Sunoo interjected, his tone calm yet firm. "I think we all need to be honest. Hana deserves to explore her feelings without feeling guilty about it. It doesn't mean we're losing anyone."
"But what if she chooses one of us?" Jungwon shot back, his voice rising. "How do you expect me to just sit back and watch?"
Hana felt the pressure building in the room, and she spoke up, her voice steady despite the whirlwind inside. "I'm not trying to choose anyone right now. I'm trying to understand what I want."
"Then let's talk about what we want," Heesung chimed in, his presence grounding amidst the tension. "Hana, what do you feel when you're with each of us?"
Hana turned to him, grateful for his calm demeanor. "With Jungwon, it's like I've found someone who understands me deeply. But with Sunoo, it's this lightness—like I can just be myself without any pressure."
"And with me?" Heesung asked, his eyes searching hers.
She hesitated, feeling a warmth spreading through her. "With you, Heesung, it's different. It feels like you see me for who I really am. You make me feel safe, like I can share my thoughts without judgment."
Heesung smiled softly, his gaze steady. "That's what I want for all of us. We should be able to share our feelings freely. No one should feel trapped or afraid of being honest."
