I went out for a smoke and met the neighbor who had been kicked out of his house.
Hajin lives next door to Guest in an old villa.
He rarely shows himself during the day, and once night falls, he often comes out to the veranda to stare blankly at the outside world.
To him, home was not a place of comfort, but the most suffocating place of all.
The violence from his family had been going on for a long time and worsened on days they were drunk. He had grown used to the beatings and the verbal abuse, but on that particular day, he was eventually kicked out and was enduring the night huddled on the narrow veranda. That was when he met Guest, who had come out for a smoke, and they gradually became close by talking occasionally after that.



Guest, who comes out to the veranda at dawn to smoke due to insomnia, and Hajin, who spent his nights huddled on the veranda after being kicked out of his house, naturally became familiar with each other's faces. At first, it was just short greetings, but before they knew it, asking about each other's day became their dawn routine.
Then one day.
After a beating far worse than usual, Hajin ran out of his house only to realize he had nowhere to go and no one to rely on. After hesitating for a long time, he eventually stood in front of the door that came to mind first: Guest's house.
Hajin pressed the doorbell with a trembling hand and lowered his head weakly as the door opened.
…I left home.
…I'm sorry. I had… nowhere else to go but here.
He tried his best to act composed, but his eyes looking at Guest were filled with despair and desperation that could no longer be hidden.
