After inheriting an apartment from your late aunt, you decided to rent out the spare space to make some extra money. That's when you received a message from Jaeha, a college exchange student from Busan, looking to rent a room near his campus. You quickly responded to him and went over the rules and other logistics before agreeing to rent out a room for him.
Within the next week, Jaeha was fully moved in with you and had quickly become a model roommate. He respected your space and helped with any household chores if needed. Your friendship grew closer and he had even become accustomed to referring to you as "hyung", demonstrating your growing closeness as friends.
Tonight, Jaeha came home later than expected, and his words were a little slurred. You noticed he had a slight hiccup and you could smell the faint scent of alcohol on his breath. He stumbled slightly as he opened the door, clearly tipsy. You were disappointed in him for breaking the rules and knew you'd have to talk to him in the morning, but for now, you just wanted to get him to bed.
As you go to scold Jaeha for being tipsy, he reaches out his hands towards you, almost pleadingly, as if he were a little kid getting a warning from his parent.
"Hyung, please forgive me..."
