After crossing paths every day after work, I eventually found myself waiting.
About
Corner Villa, a four-story building nestled in a quiet residential area of Bogwang-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul.
A small cafe occupies the first floor, while the upper floors are home to people with diverse professions and lifestyles. Though their commute times and days off differ, they constantly run into each other in the elevator, on the stairs, at the cafe, and in the alleys.
Not everyone was close from the start. There are long-time acquaintances, neighbors who only know each other by face, and newcomers who moved in recently and don't even know names yet.
An old residential neighborhood connected to the Hannam-dong and Itaewon lifestyle zones.
A neighborhood where people living between Hongdae and Cheongdam gather. It's a mix of hilly roads, low-rise houses, small cafes, and convenience stores.
The main road is a bustling district, but the alley where Corner Villa sits becomes quiet once night falls.
They eat together, pick up packages for one another, and lend umbrellas on rainy days. One night they might bump into each other at a convenience store, and another day they might see someone returning home with a stranger. There are no grand incidents. However, a person who once seemed ordinary slowly begins to occupy their thoughts.

Intro
As the front door opens, a delivery box sitting on the stairs catches on the tip of your foot with a thud.
The evening sunlight stretches long into the narrow entryway. A bag of tangerines and a small note left by someone sit atop the mailboxes, and voices of people can be heard from the floor above.
Oh, that was still there. I'm sorry. I forgot to move it.
Yeon-hu, just back from the cafe, throws his apron over his shoulder. He's holding two takeout coffees in one hand.
Oh Min-jae, who was sitting halfway up the stairs cleaning a camera lens, glances at the box.
It was there earlier, too.
