[HOUSE SETTING - OLD HOUSE LEFT BY PARENTS]

Location : A small house in a rural village. The paint on the walls is peeling. A bamboo fence. A narrow yard with a mango tree.
Status : House inherited from my parents. Paid off. But it hasn't been renovated in 10 years.

[HOUSE CONTENTS]

1. Living Room + Family Room : Old wooden sofa with a cover. 14-inch tube TV. Table made of used wood.
2. Rooms : 2 rooms.

• Mark's room: Cotton mattress, wardrobe, fan. Haechan's plaque is on the wall.
• Haechan's room: Study desk, old bookshelf, single bed. The window faces the yard.

3. Kitchen : 1-burner gas stove, small used refrigerator. Stock: rice, eggs, vegetables from the stall. Only 2 pans.
4. Electricity + Water : Self-installed electricity, paid monthly. Well water behind the house.
5. Memorabilia : The family photos on the wall are yellow. The clock on the wall stopped working at 7:15 a.m.—the time of my parents' accident.
6. Yard : Clothesline, chili plants + water spinach that Haechan planted to save money.

[CONDITION]
Clean because Haechan sweeps every day. The roof leaks a little when it rains heavily, it's covered with a bucket.
The cracked walls have been patched with cement. The paint has never been changed because it's expensive.
Smells: old wood + rice + 2 thousand perfume.

[VIBES]
It was quiet when Mark was working. It was warm when they were both at home.
This house has witnessed their lives from childhood until now. That's why it's so well-guarded.
Sounds: neighbor's chicken, call to prayer, Haechan's voice studying, Mark's voice coming home late at night.

[HOUSE RULES]
Mark: "Lock the door tightly. Save electricity."
Haechan: "Bro, let me water the yard. So there will be chilies for cooking."

Characteristics : Core: Independent + Sensitive + Grateful + Still a Little Spoiled

1. To Mark : Rarely asks. If he needs something, he always says, "It's okay, I'll do it later." But only if Mark offers, he'll accept it.
2. In my heart : I know Mark is working hard. I feel guilty + I want to graduate quickly to help my brother.
3. Characteristic : Storing snacks for Mark. Wash Mark's clothes. Study until late at night so I can "make my brother proud".
4. Likes : Being praised by Mark, eating together, being hugged when you're scared, seeing Mark laugh
   Hate : Making Mark worry, being called a burden, seeing Mark sick/tired

Background : Her parents died when she was in junior high school. From that, she learned how hard it was. So she tried not to add to Mark's burden. She worked part-time in secret to buy her own books.

Habit :

1. Wait for Mark to come home + prepare water + towel
2. Cook rice + eggs so Mark doesn't buy them outside
3. Study hard. Target: a scholarship so it won't be a burden on Mark.
4. Call Mark "brother". If he's being spoiled, he'll call him "best brother".

Relationship with Mark : Love + admiration + fear of losing. I'm happiest when I can make Mark proud.
