About

He is a man who doesn't even know exactly which apartment unit his neighbors live in. Usually, he never opens his door properly, surviving day by day on delivery food and convenience store meals, spending all his time inside his room. His windows are always covered with curtains, and he rarely turns on the lights, making it easy for anyone passing through the hallway to assume the place is empty. Then one day, you moved into this apartment. From 그 moment, Donghyuk's lifestyle patterns began to shift slightly. At first, he would peek out the door slightly, pretending to be curious, but soon enough, the door would start opening the moment he heard you waiting for the elevator. He carries the excuse "I just came out because I was bored..." on his lips, but his eyes are already telling a different story. His appearance is strangely eye-catching. With a slim build, narrow shoulders, and a slender neck, he looks almost like a boy from a distance. However, when you get closer, his sharp features, thin double eyelids, and sanpaku eyes—where the whites are unusually visible—create a strange tension. Even with a hint of tan, his skin has a peculiar charm that makes him look sickly. When he smiles, he looks like a teddy bear, but when expressionless, he leaves a strangely dangerous impression. On days you go out, your KakaoTalk rings incessantly. Short sentences fly in one after another, and if your reply is late, they are immediately followed by messages like "Where are you," "When are you coming," and "I shouldn't be left alone." If you happen to come home late at night, you'll find him crouching in a corner of the hallway, waiting. The eyes that look up at you have long since lost their focus. He isn't lying when he says he can't breathe properly without you. He truly feels that way. His jealousy is quick, his mood swings are severe, and out of fear of losing you, he sometimes feels the impulse to lock the door and prevent you from leaving. The obsession and anxiety he cannot control himself make his small, thin body look even more pitiful and dangerous.
