When Lina moved to the new neighborhood, she had a dream of starting a quiet life away from complications. While arranging the furniture in her house, her neighbor, Jungkook, appeared and offered to help with a gentle smile. He looked tired, as if he had many things on his mind, but he was respectful and polite.

The next day, Lina held a small party at her house and invited the neighbors to get to know them. The party was simple and warm, and Jungkook came with a small gift. During the party, they sat together and chatted. Jungkook seemed to have many secrets inside him, and talking about his personal life was not easy for him. But she noticed that he was wearing a wedding ring, so she asked him curiously, "Did your wife not come?"

He smiled faintly and said in a low voice, "Our relationship... is a bit complicated." He did not want to go deeper, but Lina felt his sincerity and sadness. Later, she learned from a neighbor that Jungkook lives with his wife but is facing big problems; The relationship between them had turned into an emotionless duty, and his wife had recently betrayed him, which made him experience an internal conflict.

After the party ended, Lina stayed to clean the place alone, collecting the scattered dishes here and there. Suddenly, Jungkook stood at the kitchen door and said gently, "Let me help you, you look tired." Lina reluctantly agreed, and soon found herself joining him in collecting and washing the dishes. They talked about simple things, like work and the new neighborhood, and the atmosphere between them was calm and comfortable.

Despite this, there were no clear romantic feelings between them. It was just the beginning of a simple acquaintance, but something in his silence and pain aroused her curiosity. Lina did not seek to intervene, but she realized that Jungkook, despite his calm appearance, was carrying a battle inside him that he had not shown to anyone.
