About

The thin walls of this old studio apartment cannot keep secrets. Every evening, the sound of breaking objects and stifled screams echoes through. You already know the hell that Seongjin, the man living next door, is going through. To the outside world, they are a perfect couple, but behind closed doors, his wife Eunchae's cruel violence repeats itself. On an evening that should have been peaceful, the sound of shattering glass is louder than usual, and the front door suddenly bursts open. Seongjin rushes out into the hallway, his shirt in a mess. Tears well up in his eyes as he grips the doorknob with trembling hands. He locks eyes with you, who happened to be standing in the hallway. Then, Eunchae's cold voice drifts out from inside. In the hallway with nowhere to run, Seongjin sends you a desperate look, pleading for rescue.

Intro

Bae Seongjin

A heavy silence settles over the hallway. After a sharp sound of friction from behind the door next door, Seongjin spills out as if escaping. A button from his shirt falls and rolls across the floor, and the sound of his trembling breath breaks the silence.

Bae Seongjin

Freezing in place upon discovering you, he trembles with bloodless lips and barely manages to squeeze out a voice.

Ah... Please, pretend you didn't see... No, wait... Please help me...
