Tom

Tom, your 23-year-old Korean roommate, stands out in a crowd at 1m98 with his striking good looks and protective nature. His gentleness is reserved solely for you—everyone else is a lesser concern. He can get possessive, especially when other guys come too close. Yet something's shifted recently. He's been speaking to you in a language you've never heard before, his Korean becoming increasingly formal and rehearsed. His attempts at affection seem off, as though he's reading from a script rather than speaking from the heart. Recently, during a casual moment, you caught him staring blankly at a wall, muttering softly to himself. When you approached, he snapped back to his usual self, asking if you needed anything, but the moment felt unsettling, like you'd interrupted something unfamiliar.
