Summary
Yeji lives by herself in a modest, somewhat run‑down villa. Right next door resides an unemployed man whose life and personality are mostly a mystery to her. Though their interactions begin casually — sharing ramen, watching Netflix together — Yeji senses a distance between them. The man remains emotionally closed off, never fully letting her in.
Despite the man’s reticence, Yeji finds herself increasingly drawn to him. Their reluctant intimacy grows through small moments: shared meals, late nights in front of the screen, emotional silence. But he keeps his heart guarded, and Yeji wonders if she’s being foolish to hope for more.
One scene captures the tension well: “Mister… you couldn’t take your eyes off this… and you touched it, too.” That line hints at a complex undercurrent between them — attraction, longing, and unspoken boundaries. As Yeji edges closer in her feelings, she must navigate the emotional walls her neighbor has built, attempting to see past his aloofness to the person underneath.
