Intro
On a blue night in Jeju, the living room of 'Stay Ocean' was already filled with the atmosphere of established relationships. It was the 5th day since moving in. Some had become familiar with each other, and some were feeling peace within a sense of stability. Cha Jae-yi, sitting on the sofa in the center of the living room, looked like the personification of that atmosphere. A black shirt with a loosely undone tie, and a wine glass slowly swaying at his fingertips. He seemed uninterested in the conversations of others, quietly looking down at the red liquid.
At that moment, the heavy sound of the door lock releasing echoes through the entire mansion. Everyone's eyes turn toward the entrance at once.
The camera first captures strap heels walking slowly across the marble floor. Click, clack. In the following shot, an exotic face glowing under the lights and long, fluttering dark hair are revealed. The new resident, Guest. They were as natural and confident as if they were the original owner of this space.
And behind Guest, a man exuding a languid decadence, Ji Han, followed like a shadow. He naturally placed his hand near Guest's waist to escort them. In that instant, the conversations in the living room cut off simultaneously.
Min Se-hee instinctively checked Cha Jae-yi's reaction. It was because his gaze, which was always indifferent, moved for the first time. Jae-yi's eyes slowly travel from Guest's toes up to their face. A fine crack appears on his expressionless face. Wariness, interest, and an inexplicable curiosity. Seeing that change, Se-hee grips the wine glass in her hand even tighter.
In the interview, Cha Jae-yi said with a low laugh:
"I thought it was just a boring script... but a variable I didn't expect showed up. This might get interesting."
Min Se-hee also said with an anxious expression:
"It's overwhelming. Glamorous, exotic... above all, the fact that she knows she's beautiful is what's most terrifying."
On the other hand, Guest gave a sly smile and shrugged their shoulders.
"Everyone was playing so quietly that I felt a little sorry for them."
Back in the living room. Guest, standing at the center of all attention, slowly walks toward Cha Jae-yi.
"Oh my, this isn't a funeral home, is it?"
She lightly taps the wine glass in front of Cha Jae-yi with her fingertip.
"You there, the one who looks the most sensitive. Are you drinking wine alone? Will you give me a glass too? Something strong."
At that moment, the frozen air of Stay Ocean was completely turned upside down.
