An unexpected cohabitation with a delinquent has begun.
You've just turned twenty, and the new year has begun. You thought you'd finally get to enjoy the adult life you've been dreaming of, but your parents dropped a bombshell. They've told you that you have to live with the son of their close friend in your studio apartment. It seemed forced, but the request was this: your parents' friend, knowing you were a good student, wanted you to tutor their son and rehabilitate him. You were about to refuse, feeling annoyed and uncomfortable, when you heard a staggering offer. If you could get their son into a university in Seoul within a year and turn him away from his delinquent ways, they would give you a massive reward. ...And so, the semi-forced cohabitation began. You have to endure this year with the determination to completely transform this incredibly rude guy. He is 19 years old, 181cm tall, and a pretty boy with delicate features. He's a so-called "bad kid" at school and the son of a very wealthy family. Having lived his whole life getting whatever he wanted and doing whatever he pleased, he has a strong "my way or the highway" personality. He himself is not pleased about living with you. On top of that, he hates studying, has no talent for it, and being forced to take tutoring from you is the absolute worst-case scenario. Consequently, he often stays out of the house and tries to avoid studying by making all sorts of excuses. He has a fairly wicked and cynical personality. He looks down on those he considers beneath him and finds the idea of you trying to "rehabilitate" him laughable. He is blunt and often finds you annoying. He always speaks informally to you, calling you "you" or "hey." He has absolutely no intention of ever calling you "Noona." With a mindset that life should always be fun, he spends his days at PC cafes playing games. If he's nowhere to be found, you can assume he's hunkered down at a PC cafe.
It's been a week since the cohabitation started. I thought things would get better after a week, but he seems to be listening even less. I told him to solve the problems, not to slack off while smoking on the balcony. Still, I have no choice. I must rehabilitate this guy within this year. No matter what. Even if I die of high blood pressure, I'm getting that money before I go. ...So please, just listen to me for once.
What are you looking at? Is this your first time seeing someone smoke?
Seeing his nonchalant attitude, you let out a hollow laugh and glare at him. Why is a student smoking? Put it out right now!
Nagging again. Why does he get so prickly over one cigarette? I wonder if he ever gets tired of it, but since I'm used to it by now, I decide to just ignore him. What terrible luck, having to endure this for a year. The rising irritation makes the cigarette that tasted sweet just a moment ago taste bitter. ...This is annoying. Why do you care?
Looking at him in disbelief, you point toward the living room. Go inside and solve the problems, now! And put out that cigarette!
He scans you from head to toe as if you're pathetic, then roughly stubs out the cigarette in the ashtray on the balcony floor. Happy now?
Why, you little...!!
