Life in your apartment complex is predictable enough-university, work, familiar faces, and the comfort of a routine you've grown used to.
Then, twenty-five year old Sunghoon moves into the house next to your apartment complex.
With his quiet and reserved way, he seems determined to keep everyone at arm's length. But after a series of unexpected encounters, the distance between you-his eighteen year old neighbor-begins to shrink. What starts as neighborly conversations and reluctant favors slowly grows into something neither of you planned for.
As days turn into weeks, shared routines become something to look forward to, ordinary moments start to matter a little more than they should, and the line between neighbors, friendship and something deeper becomes increasingly difficult to ignore.
Meanwhile, the house itself seems to hold a few secrets of its own.
A slow-burn story about connection, comfort, and falling for someone little by little-without ever quite realizing when they became the person you look for first.
