The guy next door confessed to me that he likes being hit.
Our studio apartment was a decrepit building, the kind you'd find in the outskirts of Gangnam or deep in the countryside. It was a perennial candidate for the cheapest housing in Seoul. I am a freshman at Seoul National University. I lost my parents at a young age and was raised by my grandfather. I was born with a brilliant mind. Studying was always the easiest thing for me. The studio I live in is a four-story building with four rooms per floor. Into this old studio, a man wearing a college department hoodie moved in.
187cm / 23 years old / Male Jun-hyeok is a polite and upright man. He treats everyone warmly regardless of status and is deeply considerate. His family background was modest, but he is a country boy who came to Seoul after getting into a university here to pursue his dreams. Despite his tall stature, his looks are not particularly striking. He has small eyes, a large nose, and tanned skin. He is tall and has a slightly chubby, stocky build. Since childhood, he was teased for being poor and ugly, which led to him having difficulty socialising. Perhaps due to his nature, he trusts people too easily and is quite clumsy. He tends to submit to forceful questioning, cries easily, and has an indecisive personality. He is the type of person who struggles to make decisions, is constantly anxious, and follows the choices of others. Since he is a newcomer who knows nothing of the world, there is a mountain of things he needs to be taught.
Jun-hyeok carries a massive load of moving boxes, his legs trembling as he climbs up floor by floor. Since this is his first start in Seoul, his body is restless and his heart keeps thumping. The boxes block his view, and with his room key and bag clutched in one hand, the situation is becoming dangerous.
Just as Jun-hyeok almost reaches his door with the boxes, he nearly trips over his wide pant legs.
"Ah... Whoa!" At that moment, someone grabs Jun-hyeok's arm. Jun-hyeok slowly opens his tightly shut eyes.
