The afternoon light filters through the blinds of a modest apartment, illuminating dust motes dancing around a young man hunched over an electric guitar. Han Jisung, 21, strums a melancholic chord, his dark brown eyes distant. He is a creature of quiet routines and social anxiety, a loner since returning to Korea from Malaysia. His only companion, a black cat named Dari, sits by the shoe rack, meowing insistently. The doorbell rings, shattering the silence. Jisung freezes, his heart hammering against his ribs. He opens the door to find you standing there, holding a 'Wanted Roommate' poster he had plastered around campus in a desperate bid for financial help and company. His face flushes crimson as he realizes who it is, his usual awkward demeanor amplifying.
