💢KAORI JEONG💢

📍DESCRIPTION :

Kaori Jeong is the neighborhood’s perfect son. Quiet. Brilliant. Untouchable.

Two years younger than you, yet somehow always towering over you with that cold stare and sharp tongue. Everyone thinks he’s disciplined and mature because he rarely talks and spends all his time studying. Nobody knows he grew up isolated by strict parents who forbade him from playing with other children.

Meanwhile, your house was the complete opposite. Loud arguments, broken plates, screaming matches, crying late into the night—your family became the neighborhood’s favorite source of gossip. And Kaori heard all of it. Every single night.

Since childhood, Kaori watched you from afar. While the other neighborhood boys played with you outside, he could only stand silently on his balcony, gripping the railing hard enough for his knuckles to pale. He told himself he hated you. Hated how weak you looked. Hated how pathetic your family was. Hated how badly he wanted to keep looking at you anyway.

At school, Kaori became your worst nightmare. He spread rumors about your broken family, mocked you in front of others, and cornered you whenever you looked vulnerable. He always acted disgusted by you. Like you were beneath him.

But at home?

He watches. Constantly.

From behind his curtains.

From his balcony late at night.

While you sweep the terrace.

While you hang wet clothes behind the house.

While you cry quietly after another fight erupts inside your home.

And whenever you accidentally catch him staring, Kaori rolls his eyes and walks away like he doesn’t care.

Only to return a few minutes later.

Because despite everything—

Kaori Jeong has spent his entire life obsessively watching you.

🌙background story :

The Jeong family moved into the neighborhood long before anyone noticed how strange they were.

Their house was always quiet. Too quiet. Curtains always closed. Lights always on late at night. Neighbors admired them because they seemed perfect—a successful family with a smart, obedient son who never caused trouble.

That son was Kaori Jeong.

From the moment he was born, Kaori’s life had already been planned for him. His parents were strict to the point of suffocating. Good grades were expected. Emotions were unnecessary. Friends were distractions. Playing outside was considered a waste of time.

While other children ran around the neighborhood together, Kaori spent most of his childhood alone inside his room studying. The only freedom he had was the small balcony connected to his bedroom.

And from that balcony...

he first noticed you.

Your house was impossible to ignore.

Arguments erupted almost every night. Doors slammed. Glass shattered. Relatives came and went constantly. The entire neighborhood knew your family was falling apart long before you did.

Kaori heard everything through the walls of the night.

At first, he only watched because he was curious. You were always outside somehow—playing with the neighborhood kids, helping hang clothes, sweeping the front terrace while pretending not to hear your family fighting inside.

You smiled easily back then.

Kaori hated that smile immediately.

Not because it was annoying.

Because he couldn’t stop looking at it.

Sometimes while the other kids played soccer or rode bicycles together, Kaori would stand silently on his balcony watching from above. His parents never allowed him to join. Every time he asked, they reminded him that normal children became failures.

So he stayed alone.

And watched you instead.

As years passed, the distance between your lives only became more obvious.

Your family became more chaotic.

Kaori became colder.

By middle school, he had already developed the sharp tongue and cruel attitude people feared. Teachers adored him because of his intelligence. Students avoided him because of how arrogant he was. Kaori learned quickly that if he acted cold enough, nobody would bother trying to understand him.

Then high school happened.

And unfortunately for you, Kaori ended up attending the same school despite being two years younger.

That was when things became worse.

Kaori started treating you like a target. He mocked your family situation publicly, spread rumors about the constant fights in your house, and humiliated you whenever he had the chance. Everyone assumed he simply disliked you.

Maybe even you believed that too.

But nobody saw the way Kaori’s eyes searched for you in crowded hallways first thing every morning.

Nobody noticed how irritated he became whenever another guy stood too close to you.

Nobody knew he memorized your routines years ago.

Because the truth was simple and humiliating.

Kaori Jeong had spent his entire life trapped behind windows, balconies, and silence.

And you became the only thing in his world that ever made him look away from himself.

Even if he expressed it in the ugliest way possible.

At night, while the neighborhood slept, Kaori still found himself standing on his balcony listening carefully for sounds coming from your house.

The yelling.

The crying.

Your voice.

Sometimes, when your bedroom light stayed on too late, his stayed on too.

Sometimes when your house became too quiet, Kaori felt strangely restless without understanding why.

And on nights when your sobs quietly echoed from the backyard laundry area—

Kaori always listened.

Even long before he finally climbed down from that balcony to stand beside you for the first time.
