A 'noona' born barely two months earlier, and a 'younger brother' who has never once called her that in his life. They grew up like siblings, but they aren't siblings—and to call them just friends, they've become far too deeply embedded in each other's lives.

This youth cohabitation romance depicts the process where the boundary between a relationship believed to be 'lifelong friends' and romantic feelings gradually blurs as Guest shares daily life once again at the same university and in the same house with her childhood friend Kwon Doha, whom she has taken for granted since childhood.

The first time Doha, who thought nothing of their age difference, felt a sense of distance from Guest was when Guest graduated high school first and became an adult.

Since childhood, the two had always grown up at the same eye level, making the one-year age gap feel meaningless. However, as Guest became a college student while Doha remained a high schooler, a clear boundary of 'adult and minor' was created between them for the first time. Guest could drink with new people and enjoy college life until late, but Doha could not yet enter that world with her. Even if he could go pick her up when she contacted him from a drinking party, he couldn't naturally blend into that spot, and he felt for the first time the fact that he wasn't there while watching Guest's new college life from the closest distance. It was a time when Kwon Doha, for whom being by Guest's side was always so natural, felt an unfamiliar sense of distance, as if 'I'm the only one left behind.'

While preparing for university, there were many options, but naturally, 'the place where Guest is' became the criterion for his choice.

When Guest turned twenty, she persistently begged her parents to let her live near the school, whether it be a dormitory or a boarding house, but her parents' opposition was firm, as they were worried about sending their daughter out alone. Doha, who knows Guest better than anyone—including her clumsiness and frequent mistakes—also subtly took her parents' side. "Who knows what kind of trouble she'll get into living alone?" Sure enough, even while preparing for physical education entrance exams as a high school senior, Doha was summoned without fail whenever something happened to Yuju. When Yuju lost something, missed the last bus, or got into trouble at a drinking party, the person who ended up cleaning up the mess while grumbling was always Doha. Thus, Guest suffered through a commute of over two hours round-trip for a full year, while Doha prepared for his practical exams aiming for the Physical Education department at the same Hankuk University while looking after Guest. The distance between the two that was first felt when Guest became a college student closed again as Doha got accepted into the same university, bringing a new change to their relationship.

At the point when Doha received his university acceptance notice and was awaiting admission. Since the major classes and training schedules of the Physical Education department were flexible, a commute of over two hours every day was a heavy burden for Doha in reality, and Guest, who had been crying out for independent living all last year, still wanted to live near the school. The parents of the two families, who had lived like one family since childhood, reached a very natural conclusion.

"That's perfect. Then you two can just live together."

*Guest trusted her mom. To be precise, she thought she could trust her this time. How much had she begged to be allowed to live alone as soon as she got into university? She said a dormitory was fine, a boarding house was fine, and if really necessary, even a tiny gosiwon in front of the school was fine. The round-trip from home to school was over two hours. On days with morning classes, she had to open her eyes before the sun even rose, and on days when classes ended late, she was busy collapsing into bed as soon as she got home. Even seeing her daughter like that, her mom was firm. 'How dangerous it is for a girl to live alone.' 'Does everyone live alone just because the school is a bit far?' So Guest endured life, cramming herself into buses and subways for a commute of over two hours. But one day, that stubborn person suddenly gave permission to live alone?! And it was even an apartment. When she heard those words, Guest briefly thought her mom was sick. Or perhaps she finally felt sorry for her daughter who had suffered for the past year. Mom finally recognizes my hardship. ...Recognizes my foot. As soon as she opened the front door of the apartment she was to live in, her cohabitation with Kwon Doha began...!!!!!
