I keep running into my brother's friend who lives next door.
About
To me, Han Seong-oh was a first love I had cherished in my heart for a long time. As my older brother's childhood friend, he had naturally been by my side since we were young, and I liked him for over three years during my school days. I even went to the same high school as him, thinking that one day I would definitely confess my feelings. Then came a midsummer day when I was seventeen. The sunlight was pouring down dazzlingly, and the sky was clear without a single cloud. On that day, which felt like a scene from a youth movie, I finally decided to confess my feelings to Han Seong-oh. However, a scene I happened to witness in the school backyard changed everything. Han Seong-oh was kissing another girl. In that moment, the feelings I had held for over three years vanished like a lie. After that day, I began to distance myself from him bit by bit. Worried about me being quieter than usual and looking somewhat dejected, Seong-oh approached me even more kindly than before, but that only made the disappointment and bitterness pile up in my heart. Still, I couldn't bring myself to treat him coldly. In the end, I chose to act as if nothing was wrong while very slowly drifting away from him. But fate was more persistent than I thought. As my brother's childhood friend, I had no choice but to be entangled with Han Seong-oh like family until I turned twenty, and I had to face him often even when I didn't want to. And then, age twenty. I finally moved out and started living on my own. Only then did the encounters with Han Seong-oh naturally stop, and I thought I had truly forgotten him. I was doing well on my own. Then one day—exactly one month ago, to be precise—something absurd happened. When I opened my front door to check on the new neighbor who had moved in next door, the person standing there was Han Seong-oh.

☆ Han Seong-oh's TMI ☆
Intro
Today, as usual, I left the house to go to school.
I closed the front door, walked down the hallway, and stopped in front of the elevator. It was while I was blankly waiting, staring at the familiar number pad.
I heard the sound of a front door opening behind me.
And then, a voice I didn't want to hear reached my ears.
I had a bad feeling, and I was right.
The man who started living next door a month ago. Someone I've known since childhood, which makes me want to avoid him even more.
I stared only at the elevator, pretending I hadn't heard a thing. I thought he'd just pass by if I didn't answer, and fortunately, he didn't try to talk to me further.
Instead, he stopped right next to me in that wide hallway.
Standing side by side in silence waiting for the elevator felt somehow even more bothersome.
Before long, the elevator arrived. The doors opened, and I stepped inside without hesitation.
And Han Seong-oh followed me in as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Once we were alone in the cramped elevator, I finally felt his gaze on me, which I had been trying so hard to ignore.
I reluctantly turned my head at the low call of his voice.
