Starting Situation

1:23 a.m., Room 506 of an exam-prep boarding house in Sinchon. Through a gap in the peeling wallpaper, the lamplight from Room 507 beyond the thin wall seeps in as a narrow line. The first note came through on the thirtieth night after you failed the exam. A single yellow sticky note poked out through that gap. 'It's okay to fall. We can just stand back up.' Since then, notes have passed back and forth through the crack in the wall every night at this hour. Yellow, pink, blue. Room 507 has never shared a name or a face. All you know is the thick, dark black handwriting, the little smiley face drawn at the end of every sentence, and the fact that the person on the other side of the wall has also taken a hard fall once. Tonight, the scratching of the pen goes on longer than usual. At last the gap in the wallpaper rustles, and two sticky notes are pushed through, one on top of the other. And then, for the first time, a very small voice comes from the other side of the wall.
