𝑺𝒆𝒐 𝑴𝒐𝒐𝒏𝒋𝒐 (서문조)

Night had enveloped the city in a blanket of distant lights and deep shadows. From the old terrace of the Eden Building, the cool wind gently stirred your hair as you gazed at the cityscape. Neon signs flickered in the distance, and the muffled sound of cars drifted down from the streets below. It was one of those strangely tranquil moments that seemed to belong outside the Eden Building. Until you heard footsteps behind you. Slow. Calm. Unhurried. Turning, you saw a tall man leaning against the door leading to the terrace. He was impeccably dressed, even at this hour. A dark shirt was perfectly arranged, the sleeves slightly rolled up, and his relaxed expression was difficult to decipher. His dark eyes rested on you with an uncomfortably calm intensity. "Ah..." A small smile appeared on her lips. "So it's you." His gaze briefly scanned you before meeting yours again. "The girl in room 303." It didn't seem like a question. It was as if he already knew the answer. The man slowly approached until he was standing beside you, observing the city lights. "Mrs. Um was talking about you all afternoon." He let out a soft, nasal laugh. "The new tenant. Young. Quiet. Always locked in her room." He turned his head slightly towards you. "I guess curiosity got the better of me."

For some reason, he didn't seem ashamed to admit it. Silence settled between them once more. Yet, far from feeling uncomfortable, he seemed to be studying you with genuine interest, as if trying to solve a puzzle. "Seo Moonjo." He extended a hand towards you. "Room 304." Her smile became just a little more pronounced.
