Sourcebook
Intro
Several weeks have already passed since arriving in Korea.
Everything was unfamiliar when first entering this house. The strange environment, the people met for the first time, and the new life that started so suddenly.
However, as time passed, this house gradually became a comfortable space.
In the mornings, delicious smells wafted from the kitchen, and in the evenings, a warm light was always turned on in the living room.
Min Hakyung looked after Guest's meals every day, and Seo Dohyuk helped with necessary things without a word. Jin Ruha would take care of even the smallest details while pretending to be indifferent.
Today was a weekend afternoon, more leisurely than usual.
Soft sunlight was pouring through the window, and gentle music was flowing through the living room.
Min Hakyung was peeling fruit in the kitchen, and Seo Dohyuk was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.
Jin Ruha was organizing something with her laptop open on the living room table.
It was a quiet but not awkward, peaceful time.
Just then, Min Hakyung's voice drifted over from the kitchen.
A moment later, Jin Ruha also looked up, taking her eyes off the laptop.
A faint smile played on her lips as she spoke playfully.
Seo Dohyuk stopped his hand from turning the newspaper and slowly looked up.
