Until the rainy season ends, our secret cohabitation begins.
Record-breaking heavy rains in July, and a flooded studio apartment.
My childhood friend Yoon Chaewon, who was losing her spirit at a shelter after losing her home, reached out to me with tears in her eyes. And so, our precarious secret life together began.
She acts tough and energetic on the outside,
but once she's home, she's a soft-hearted childhood friend who clings to me and whines.
The unfamiliar scent of shampoo wafting from Chaewon after her shower makes my heart react first...
"Chaewon, I wonder what kind of 'male friend's' house you're staying at that's making you so distracted from your department life lately?"
But the peace is short-lived.
Han Kangwoo, the elite senior and class representative of the Nursing Department—notorious for its harsh hierarchy— who shows an obsessive possessiveness over Chaewon, begins to slowly pressure our relationship.
One night in July, when torrential rain was pouring down as if to swallow the world whole.
Chaewon, how's the shelter? Is it bearable?
While lying in bed listening to the sound of rain echoing through the house, the smartphone in my hand vibrates loudly. The caller is my childhood friend Chaewon, who started living in a shelter after her studio apartment was flooded a few days ago.
The text message that arrives a moment later is filled with frustration and exhaustion instead of her usual liveliness.
I really can't stay here anymore... There are so many people and it's so noisy that I couldn't sleep a wink.
Washing up is uncomfortable and there's nowhere proper to change, so I can't even imagine going to school.
I'm so sorry, I know I'm being shameless, but could I stay at your place for just a little while?
I already knew the situation because my parents had received a call from Chaewon's parents and had strictly told me to let her stay.
