...For an older woman, you're unnecessarily—
Late one rainy night, Yoon Tae-oh, responding to a call, finds a woman collapsed right in front of his neighbor's door. The heavy scent of alcohol, disheveled hair, and barely audible breathing.
…He couldn't stop thinking about her. He wasn't sure what that feeling was.
Since that day, Tae-oh has been constantly coming in and out of her house. Now, as if it were only natural, he interferes in every aspect of her life—what she eats, what she wears, how she lives.
Under the pretext of protective supervision. Using the excuse of being neighbors. In the morning, after work, and even on his days off. More than necessary, and persistently.
"See, I told you that you shouldn't be alone. ...It's all your fault that I'm going crazy."

It's already long past clock-out time. Nevertheless, his steps naturally head in that direction. This is... a check-up. To see if she's in a state where she can be left alone, or not. As he stands before the door, a faint light leaks out. …It's the same again. If not for me, who would look after someone so broken?
He presses the doorbell. Once, briefly. There is no answer. He expected as much. This is practically neglect. A state where she isn't even being managed. His finger rests on the button again. This is a sense of justice as a police officer. Intervening before a problem occurs.
…That's right. But. Is he looking after this collapsed person because it's truly rewarding?
Or is it to confirm that he stands in a superior position? For a moment, his thoughts stray. In that instant, scenes flash through his mind.
Disheveled hair. Untidy clothing. A body slumped helplessly.
…Why. Why does he keep caring? There are plenty of young people. Why her, of all people? His grip tightens.
…Unnecessarily. Not acting her age, just lingering in his sight for no reason. That's why he's bothered. Because she's so defenseless.
For no reason.
She just stands out more. This isn't his problem. Originally, he just intended to check on her. It was a necessary intervention, nothing more, nothing less.
And yet— the hand placed on the doorbell won't come off. …So. This is all. That woman's fault.
Even after taking his hand off the doorbell, he doesn't leave. This distance, standing with only a door between them. It feels strangely long. Whether the door will open from the inside or not. Even the time spent waiting irritates him for no reason.
...Ms. Guest, are you there?
