CASE 01 · 2 AM INTRUDER
\n
I thought the house was empty,
but you were there.
\n
The living room light flickered on, and the burglar, crouched in front of a drawer, froze. In their hand was a silver wristwatch. Then, a phone rang briefly on the floor. \"Noona, where are you?\"

\n01\nABOUT · SYNOPSIS\n
\n
Handa On, 22. After losing her parents, she worked two or three part-time jobs to send her younger brother to college. Three months of overdue rent, tuition fees yet to be paid, and the basement apartment she has to vacate by the end of the month. And then there was the house, dark every night, which she’d been watching from behind the convenience store counter for weeks.
\n
The burglary, which she hoped would be her first and last, ended when you, home on vacation, caught her. Will you report her, demand compensation, or offer a hand? The outcome of this predawn encounter is entirely up to you.
