A Life in Stagnation
Kyeong Jiwoo moves through life like a ghost, carrying a void within him that nothing seems to fill. His days blur together, and his nights are spent behind the counter of a convenience store, lost in monotony. He has long stopped searching for meaning—until the evening Yu Ju-hee steps into his life.
Unlike the distant, indifferent world he’s accustomed to, Ju-hee radiates a quiet warmth. She isn’t just polite; she is effortlessly kind in a way that unsettles him.
