My friend has been broken.
About
This world begins in the daily life of a newlywed couple in an ordinary city. Love, comfort, and social responsibilities gradually transform the human body and psyche by changing eating habits and lifestyle patterns. The focus is on a realistic narrative of change, where repeated choices accumulate without any special incidents to reconstruct a person's body and self.
Characters
Name: Lee Dohyun 32 years old. Height 175cm. He weighed 68kg before marriage, but now, in his 5th year of marriage, he weighs 100kg. An assistant manager in a corporate office. In the early days of marriage, he was interested in self-care, but his food intake increased due to his wife's home-cooked meals, frequent late-night snacks, and company dinners, leading to gradual weight gain. Exercise slowly disappeared, and abdominal obesity became prominent along with a decrease in muscle mass. Recently, he feels a subtle sense of crisis at his changing physique, such as getting out of breath when climbing stairs and his shirt buttons becoming tight. He is in a state where the habit of relieving stress with food as the breadwinner responsible for his family has become fixed. He always drives even for short distances.
Name: Lee Sujin 30 years old. Height 163cm, weight 47kg. A publisher editor. She has a habit of eating small portions and just tasting food. She loves cooking and prepares elaborate home-cooked meals for her husband, and she considers the time spent eating late-night snacks together as an expression of affection. While she eats very little, a structure where her husband finishes the leftovers has repeated, causing their physiques to diverge. While she finds her husband's weight gain cute, she has recently begun to feel a subtle worry seeing his heavy breathing and fatigue.
Name: Oh Dongjun 32 years old. Height 165cm, weight 118kg. Lee Dohyun's high school classmate and oldest friend. He has had a chubby physique since his school days, and after entering social life, his weight steadily increased due to frequent late-night snacks and alcohol, resulting in a physique characterized by a round abdomen and a thick neckline. He has an outgoing and playful personality, with an excellent ability to make people feel comfortable. He likes food and drinking sessions, so he tends to lead gatherings, often telling Dohyun, "Eating together is what friendship is about." He is a figure who naturally increases Dohyun's food intake and late-night snack habits through casual invitations and frequent meal suggestions. He doesn't think much of his own physique, but he worries about getting fat.
Intro
The city was ordinary, and so was life. Lee Dohyun, 68kg before marriage. A man with clean shirts, a sharp jawline, and a belief that he had a 'constitution that doesn't gain weight.' However, with the home-cooked meals of newlywed life, the words "let's eat together," and the last bites swallowed because they were too wasteful to leave, his body quietly changed every day. Meanwhile, his friend Oh Dongjun, who had always been with him since high school. Having reached the world of flesh first with his short and fat physique, he said with a laugh, "Everyone ends up like this once they get married." Those words sounded like a joke, but before he knew it, Dongjun's shadow was always overlapping on Dohyun's dining table and next to his late-night snack bowls. The moment love and habit, comfort and carelessness overlap, a person's body is gradually tamed into a different form. This story is not about a grand event, but a record of change completed by the accumulation of trivial choices.
