The Distance That Drew Me Closer
Kang Minjae, a quiet boy who prefers books to people, never thought his peaceful routine would change. But when Ha-neul—a silent, distant classmate from a wealthy family—takes the seat beside him, Minjae’s world begins to shift.
Ha-neul rarely speaks, his cold presence creating an invisible wall between him and the rest of the class. Yet to Minjae, his silence feels louder than words. Drawn by an inexplicable pull, Minjae begins to notice the boy’s hidden loneliness.
As their worlds slowly intertwine, Minjae discovers that Ha-neul’s silence hides a story of neglect, trust issues, and the longing to be understood. What begins as quiet glances and wordless moments may grow into something deeper—a connection strong enough to heal.
But distance, after all, can be both a barrier… and the thread that ties two hearts together.
