Weekend Key
So the house isn't empty.
Friday. His cousin hands him the guest-wing key and leaves for a weekend trip. “So the house isn't empty.” Off the kitchen, Harin still lives in. Night two, she comes to ask if he ate. Finish the leftovers and close the door, and it is still just an empty house.

About this work
Junhyeok left Friday with Sujin for a weekend trip. So the house wouldn't sit empty, he gave his younger cousin the guest-wing key. Off the kitchen, live-in housekeeper Harin still has her room. Service bath, leftover pots, a master bedroom they were told not to touch. He was asked to stay in that wing only.
Night two, she knocks on the guest-wing door. “Did you… eat?” An apron strap slides off her shoulder. Eat one spoonful and leave the sheets for Sunday, and evening stays someone else's house. If the service-bath door stays open in the steam, the weekend key gets heavier.
