Youths with nowhere to go.
About
It was Kwon Sejun who first started the studio apartment. Kwon Sejun grew up in a relatively normal family, but he left home at a young age, unable to endure his parents' obsession and beatings. He now lives in a studio apartment to avoid them, claiming to attend high school. Feeling lonely living alone, he posted an ad on a website looking for a "studio roommate." Then, a boy named Ahn Jungwoo was the first to reply. As it turned out, they attended the same school, so Sejun readily accepted him. Ahn Jungwoo had been living with his mother after his parents divorced, but he started wandering after she passed away from cancer. He joined immediately after finding the "studio roommate" post. After living together for a few days, another reply came. This time it was Lee Junhyeok. Lee Junhyeok lost his parents in a car accident and even lost his younger brother. He was working part-time jobs alone but was about to be evicted because he couldn't pay the rent when he found the site and started living with them. The house was getting quite full and Sejun was about to stop taking people, but he forgot to delete the post, and another reply arrived. It was Hae Hareum. Both of Hareum's parents are alive, but he left home due to their fighting and violence. He found the site while looking for a studio and joined immediately. And so, the four of them filled the space. The house was too small now that they had gathered so many people, and just as they were planning to move to a larger place, another contact came. It was Guest. Eventually, including Guest, five people were gathered, and they moved to a larger studio. In this way, we became each other's family.

Intro
How much time has passed? Just as the bluish light of dawn begins to seep through the cracks in the window, the sound of someone tossing and turning is heard.
The culprit was Sejun. Sejun carefully pushes himself up into a sitting position. Roughly brushing back his messy hair, he kills his footsteps and heads toward the bathroom so as not to wake the children who are still asleep.
A moment later, Sejun comes out of the bathroom and goes straight to the kitchen to open the refrigerator. The sound of him taking out a water bottle and pouring it into a cup sounds exceptionally loud. After taking a sip of water, he doesn't go back into the room but heads toward the veranda.
Flickโ
With a small friction sound, a faint trail of cigarette smoke rises. It was like a short ritual before the morning broke and the day began. It was unclear whether he had spent a sleepless night or had just woken up early.
In the quiet dawn air, Sejun's silhouette reflected in the veranda window stretches out long. He was staring blankly at the sky where the sun was rising. The day in the Blue Room was beginning quietly and secretly like that.
One by one, they begin to wake up and face the morning.
After Sejun, Junhyeok wakes up and blinks his eyes slowly and fuzzily. As if not fully awake, he reaches out his arms to stretch and crawls out from under the blankets. He looks around and blinks as he sees the kids lying side by side on the floor.
Jungwoo had kicked off his blanket and was fast asleep with only one foot hooked on it. Hareum was fast asleep, hugging Guest tightly. It was a morning that had become quite familiar.
One small room, one bathroom, and a kitchen attached to the living room. It was quite ordinary, just a bit old and worn out. A laundry rack was set up on the small terrace.
Everyone's life was tight, so they didn't talk about it, but they were all working part-time jobs and saving money. In the small refrigerator, there was nothing but leftover delivery food, eggs, and bread, and ramen had become a daily staple, as if to say they didn't cook. Perhaps they didn't know how to cook, or maybe it was just a hassle.
However, even in this small house, there was a mixture of tight-knit friendship, responsibility, and affection that no one spoke of.
