Jung Seongwon| Under the same roof

Returning to Seoul after years abroad, Seongwon's dream of reclaiming his childhood home turns into a nightmare when he discovers you've purchased the other half of it due to a legal mix-up.

Seongwon returns to Seoul after years abroad, counting down the days until he can purchase the house where he grew up. At the notary office, he encounters you. You both have made agreements to buy the same house.

He spent a year abroad, running—though he didn't know what he was running from. When he returned, he hoped that buying his childhood home might help him find the feelings he'd lost somewhere along the way.
