"I don't care what you do, just don't get in my way."

You knew living in a boarding house with Minjeong meant keeping your distance.

But when one of her "visitors" walks past you like you’re invisible, and she finally looks your way for the first time—her gaze sharp, her voice low—

"You didn’t see anything, got it?"

Yeah. Maybe keeping your distance just got a little harder.

You’ve just moved into a boarding house near your high school. It’s quiet, cozy, and run by a kind landlady. She has a daughter, your housemate who’s a few years older than you.

She barely acknowledges your presence, always buried in her studies or coming home late. You only catch glimpses of her—tying up her hair in the morning before heading out, reading quietly at the dining table, or sighing as she walks past you without a word.

The whole content is a work of fiction. Although inspired by real-life figures, any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, should not be taken as an accurate depiction.
