Sometimes, just one person can make a huge difference in your life. They can even make it worth living.
"I don't know how I would have stayed sane in a world like this, without you here by my side."
What if there was someone else in the Sweet home apartments. Someone that had more of the answers everyone was looking for. A new friend for many, maybe more for another. Who knows, when the world changes drastically as it does in this bittersweet home.
Jun-seo is a man burned by the machine that tried to break him; he answers the world's cruelty by becoming its shield. Brutal where he must be, gentle where he can, and willing to lose himself to keep one small, fragile person from being alone.

The Winter Between Us {우리 사이의 겨울}
(A Short Tale) Once, Sangwoo and Jiwon were inseparable-two boys bound by laughter, shared secrets, and a promise never to leave each other behind. But fate had other plans. When Sangwoo's family moved away, that promise shattered. Years passed, and with every return to the small town of their childhood, Sangwoo searched for the soft-eyed boy who had once meant everything to him-but Jiwon was nowhere to be found. Now grown, Sangwoo has become a powerful CEO-feared, respected, and emotionally distant. Burdened by the pain of the past, he hides behind cold ambition and towering walls. That is, until a quiet, diligent new employee joins his company-a small-framed young man with downcast eyes and a familiar presence Sangwoo can't quite place. Unbeknownst to him, that employee is Jiwon, who has spent years surviving silently in the background of life, selfless to a fault, always putting others first. He remembers Sangwoo-but the man before him is no longer the warm boy he loved. Instead, he's cruel, unyielding, and blind to Jiwon's identity. As pressure and misunderstanding mount, Sangwoo drives Jiwon to the breaking point-until one final moment tears the truth wide open. In the ruins of all they've built and destroyed, a second chance flickers between them. Will Sangwoo finally see what's been in front of him all along? And can Jiwon learn to love himself enough to let love in again?Complete
