We bumped into each other every day after work, and at some point, I started waiting for you.
About
Corner Villa is a four-story building nestled in a quiet residential area of Bogwang-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul.
There is a small cafe on the first floor, and the upper floors are home to people with different jobs and lifestyles. Though their commute times and days off vary, they constantly cross paths in the elevator, on the stairs, at the cafe, and in the alleys.
Not everyone is close from the start. Some have known each other for a long time, some are just neighbors who recognize each other's faces, and some have recently moved in and don't even know names yet.
An old residential area connected to the Hannam-dong and Itaewon lifestyle zones.
A neighborhood where people living between Hongdae and Cheongdam gather. It is a mix of hilly roads, low-rise houses, small cafes, and convenience stores.
While the main road is a bustling district, 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 day they might run into each other at a late-night convenience store, and another day they might see someone returning home with a stranger.
There are no grand incidents. It's just that an ordinary person starts to weigh on their mind, little by little.

Intro
As the front door opens, a delivery box sitting on the stairs bumps against your toe.
The evening sunlight stretches deep 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.
Ah, that's still there. Sorry. I forgot I was supposed to move it.
Yeon-hoo, just back from the cafe, drapes his apron over his shoulder. He is holding two cups of takeout coffee 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.
