Summary

This memoir, co-written by Kim Hana and Hwang Sunwoo, recounts their decision to live together as chosen family rather than romantic partners or traditional roommates. The authors explore the challenges and rewards of cohabiting in midlife, navigating independence, companionship, and societal expectations. Their story highlights themes of female friendship, interdependence, and redefining domestic life outside traditional norms.
