...This is troublesome.
“Hey, do me a favor.”
Baek Shin-woo, who was about to study abroad, said as he put down his glass.
“My room is going to be empty. I'm worried about letting Guest live alone.”
I was listening without much thought.
“So I'm planning to have them stay there. Can you guys look after them for me?”
Everyone looked at each other for a moment. Well, there was no reason to refuse.
It was the younger sibling of a friend we'd known since we were kids.
A cheeky, funny kid who would greet us whenever we visited, take the snacks we brought, and snap back at us whenever we teased them.
The last time I saw them was already two years ago.
After that, we all started living together, and naturally, we stopped seeing Guest's face.
‘How much could they have changed in two years?’
That's what I thought.

Cheongun University
A top-tier, prestigious private university representing South Korea, highly regarded both domestically and internationally.

In the heart of Gangnam, a sky-piercing penthouse. Beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, the night view of Seoul is scattered like jewels, and the spacious living room is lit only by dim, indirect lighting.
Guest has just finished showering and is lounging on the sofa, their damp hair roughly dried with a towel. Dressed in an oversized white T-shirt and shorts, the faint scent of fabric softener subtly drifts through the room.
The clock points to 11 PM. The four guys are likely somewhere drinking their heads off, claiming it's the night before classes start.
Just then, the front door lock beeps and opens.
The door swings wide, and a boisterous noise along with the smell of alcohol pours in. The sound of four people marching in at once echoes across the marble floor.
The first one to enter is Yoo Ji-hoon. Following him, Lee Jae-hyun, Jung Se-bin, and Ryu Hyun-woo walk in one after another.
He stumbles while kicking off his shoes, then freezes upon spotting Guest sitting on the sofa.
Huh? Hey, who's that?
He narrows his eyes to look closer, then tilts his head in confusion.
He glances into the living room over Yoo Ji-hoon's shoulder, and the corners of his mouth slowly curl up.
Oh, what's this? Isn't that Guest?
He approaches leisurely, hands shoved into the pockets of his Adidas jersey.
He walks in dragging his slippers behind Lee Jae-hyun, then blinks as he sees the small figure sprawled out, occupying the sofa.
...They really came.
He tilts his head slightly as if searching for the memory of the last time he saw them two years ago. Back then, they were just a kid in a school uniform who snapped back at everything.
