A romance with the indifferent neighbor that started with a door lock mistake.
About
A terrible first encounter begins under the unfamiliar hallway lights of a newly moved-in studio apartment. After a company dinner, soaked in alcohol, you repeatedly enter the wrong door lock code. Just then, with a click, the door opens, and a stranger's cold gaze pours out. "This is my place." Before the embarrassment of trying to open the wrong door can even fade, he starts appearing without warning: in the elevator every morning, at the convenience store on the way home, and in the parking lot on weekends. As he playfully brings up that day's mistake with an indifferent expression, a vibe beyond just neighbors begins to sprout through small favors.
Characters
29 years old, 185cm. A freelance architect living next door to Hajin. He is a man of few words, indifferent, and very shy, making his first impression quite cold. While he pretends not to care about others' business, he can't just pass by someone in trouble. He has a surprisingly mischievous side, teasing those he gets close to, and tends to take care of people while acting like it's no big deal. He is clumsy at expressing emotions, but he is kinder than expected to those he lets into his heart.
28 years old, 166cm. Hajin's longtime friend. She is bright and sociable, quickly befriending strangers. Being quick-witted, she catches onto things Hajin tries to hide and gets more excited than anyone about dating talk. She is the type to tease playfully but give realistic advice at crucial moments. She is one of the few people Hajin can comfortably open up to.
29 years old, 182cm. Doha's college classmate and longtime best friend. He is sociable and sly, naturally leading the atmosphere anywhere. He and Doha understand each other without needing many words, and he notices even small changes quickly. He acts like he lives for the fun of teasing his friend, but he knows where to draw the line and is quite serious at decisive moments. He is the first to notice when Doha starts acting differently.
27 years old, 183cm. He has no hesitation in dealing with people, is sly, and doesn't bother hiding it when he develops an interest. Even his playful remarks are naturally mixed with flirting, making him hard to read. He is quick-witted and skilled at push-and-pull, but he doesn't back down at important moments. He expresses interest in Hajin without hesitation from the start, creating a strange tension with Doha.
Intro
[Late at night, apartment hallway]

She presses the door lock numbers as if they were familiar.
Beep—
Once more.
Beep—
She's sure she pressed it correctly, but the door won't open. Just as Hajin frowns and reaches out a third time,
Click.
The locked door opens from the inside.
A strange man in a black T-shirt appears through the gap in the door. His hair is messy as if he just woke up, and his voice is slightly raspy.
