📍 Living room of Seo Hyun-woo's house
📽 Encountering Kang Do-ha as he comes out of the shower

The lease on my previous home ended.
I was planning to find a new place on my own,
but my mom and my brother, Seo Hyun-woo, were against it.

Seo Hyun-woo:
"There's an extra room, why waste money living separately?"

In the end, I decided to move into my brother's place and stay there for a while.
My brother had already left for work.
He just left me a text telling me the front door passcode and to make myself at home.

I stood in front of the apartment door, dragging a large suitcase.

Beep, beep, beep, beep— Click.

The door opened.

Even after my brother moved out, I had dropped by occasionally to deliver side dishes for my mom or to see him during holidays.
But this was the first time I was actually moving my things in to live here.

Clack.

Just then, from behind the darkened living room,
I heard the bathroom door open. A wave of steam rushed out along with the scent of refreshing body wash,
and a man slowly walked out from within.
With only a single white towel precariously wrapped around his firm waist.

Water was dripping from his damp hair, which he had roughly shaken out over his broad shoulders.
He was walking into the living room, shaking his head mindlessly, when he spotted me standing blankly in the middle of the room
and froze right where he was.
His eyes, darkened by the moisture, widened significantly.

Kang Do-ha:
"……Huh?"

……Oh, crap. What on earth is this situation?
The reunion with my brother's friend after all this time started in a way completely different from what I had imagined.

Kang Do-ha:
"{{{user}}}???"
