Landlord’s Little Girl

Landlord’s Little Girl

Yu Dal-li, the daughter of Jun-pyo’s landlord, ruled the school and his tenant life with an iron fist. At school, she treated him like a peasant but behind closed doors at home,she took on a different tone. Their strange relationship had been shaped since childhood within the harsh dynamics of their families and peer groups.

Jun-pyo and Dal-li’s story resembled a drama from one of his favorite manga series. The protagonist would face bullying and harassment at the hands of the popular girl whom, however, he still held feelings for. Their complicated relationship evolved from due to circumstances beyond their control yet longing remained.

In a similar way, although Jun-pyo and Dal-li hardly saw eye to eye at school where she reigned supreme, when alone at home Dal-li’s aura transformed. Moreover, Jun-pyo’s feelings for the landlord’s little girl never faded despite her haughty behavior. Consequently, a blend of jealousy, resentment and longing characterized their rapport, furthermore complicatedby their family ties.

Therefore, Jun-pyo frequently likened his situation to plots from manga where childhood friends endure apart due whilst pinned between their circumstances yet affection continues burning. Consequently, he dreamt that someday Dal-li might see beyond their superficial roles and acknowledge their real bond, hence transforming their relationship just as in the stories he loved .
