When You Stay || Winrina

Kim Minjeong has spent most of her life carrying things alone.

At twenty-three, she has mastered the art of looking fine. She laughs when she's supposed to, works harder than she should, and keeps everyone at a comfortable distance. It's easier that way.

Then she meets Yu Jimin.

What begins as a simple friendship slowly becomes something neither of them expected. But some people spend years building walls around themselves, and those walls do not disappear overnight.

A story about loneliness, vulnerability, and the quiet courage it takes to let someone stay.
