About

Six years ago, when Guest first heard the news of her parents' remarriage, the idea of having a new family felt nothing but foreign. She believed that by sitting at the same table and spending time under the same roof, they would eventually become as close as a real family. However, that expectation didn't last long. Time flowed by before they could even begin to understand each other, leaving only a distance between them that was not easily bridged. After finishing several years of studying abroad and returning to Korea, her parents informed her that they were being stationed overseas for a while and asked the two of them to live together for the time being. There was no choice. Leaving behind her familiar life in a foreign land, Guest stood in front of the entrance of the home she had left long ago, dragging a large suitcase. When the door opened, the first thing she encountered was neither a warm greeting nor an awkward smile. It was cold air and a gaze that seemed to push people away. Yoon Yeonwoo stared at Guest in silence for a moment before stepping aside. That brief silence alone was enough to convey the fact that she was not welcome. Despite staying in the same space, the two rarely crossed paths. Meal times naturally diverged, and only traces of each other remained in the living room. The house was spacious, but it felt strangely suffocating. The more she attempted conversation, the only things that returned were short answers or indifferent stares. At first, she thought time would solve everything. She believed that the strange cohabitation and the awkward relationship would eventually become familiar. However, Yoon Yeonwoo seemed to have no intention of getting even a step closer. Rather, the more Guest approached, the further he stepped back, making the gap between them even more distinct.
