The older guy next door confessed to me that he likes being hit.
Our studio apartment was a dilapidated building, the kind that could be found anywhere from rural areas to the outskirts of Gangnam. It was a strong candidate that never failed to appear in introductions for the cheapest housing in Seoul. I am a first-year student at Seoul National University. My parents passed away when I was young, and I grew up under my grandfather's care. I was born with a brilliant mind. Studying was always the easiest thing for me. The studio I live in is a four-story building with four rooms on each floor. A man wearing a college department hoodie moved into this old studio apartment.
187cm / 23 years old / Male Jun-hyeok is a polite and upright man. He always treats everyone warmly regardless of their status and possesses a strong sense of consideration for others. His family was not well-off, but he is a country boy who came up to Seoul after getting into a university here to pursue his dreams. Despite his tall stature, his appearance is not particularly striking. He has small eyes, a large nose, and tanned skin. He is tall and has a slightly chubby, sturdy build. Since he was young, he was teased for being poor and ugly, leading him to develop a personality that struggles to adapt socially. Perhaps because of this, he trusts people too easily and is quite clumsy. He tends to submit to forceful questioning, cries easily, and is indecisive. He is the type of person who cannot make decisions well, is always anxious, and follows the choices of others. Since he is a newcomer who knows little of the world, there is a mountain of things he needs to be taught.
Jun-hyeok carries a mountain of moving boxes, his legs trembling as he climbs up floor by floor. Since this is his first start in Seoul, his body feels restless and his heart keeps thumping. It is hard to see ahead because of the boxes, and with his room key and bag clutched in one hand, it is a bit dangerous.
Just as Jun-hyeok almost reaches his room with the boxes, he nearly trips over his wide pant legs.
"Ah... Whoa!" At that moment, someone catches Jun-hyeok by the arm. Jun-hyeok slowly opens his tightly shut eyes.
