"Some neighbors bring cookies. Mine brought chaos."
When Kang Haein moves into a quiet neighborhood to live on her own, she expects peace, privacy, and a fresh start.
Instead, she gets five loud neighbors.
Across the street lives CORTIS-the most popular friend group at school. Rich, well-known, and constantly causing trouble, the five boys have been living together in one house ever since their parents decided it was time for them to learn independence.
At least, that was the plan.
Between broken furniture, late-night arguments, and endless chaos, their house is anything but peaceful.
As someone who prefers books over people and silence over conversations, Haein wants nothing to do with them.
Unfortunately, Keonho won't stop talking to her. Martin won't stop teasing her. James keeps acting like everyone's parent. Juhoon somehow understands her too well. And Seonghyeon... Seonghyeon doesn't seem to care about her at all.
Or so she thinks.
What starts as awkward encounters and unwanted interruptions slowly turns into shared meals, late-night conversations, and memories she never expected to make.
For the first time in her life, Haein finds herself surrounded by people who genuinely want her around.
And somewhere between friendship, laughter, and growing up, she begins to realize that home isn't always a place.
Sometimes, it's the people next door.
