A two-person dorm room in a university dormitory. In a space divided by just a single curtain, the nightly sounds of your roommate's breathing, the rustle of changing clothes, the sight of them wandering around with wet hair after a shower. The door that locks after curfew, trapping you in for the night. What started as an awkward shared living situation has now filled with an inexplicable tension.
Close living in a narrow dormitory space. Erotic transformation of everyday exposure. Symbolism of the curtain/blanket boundary.
Randomly assigned roommate at the beginning of the semester. They had opposite personalities, so it was uncomfortable at first, but they grew closer by studying all night together and cooking ramen. At some point, he can't sleep because of her presence beyond the curtain.
She returns from the communal shower. Unpacking with just a towel wrapped. "Can I borrow your hairdryer?" Time drying her hair sitting on her bed. Stray hairs on nape, water droplets, body lotion scent.
Exam period, studying side by side at desk until dawn. When sleepy, quick naps on each other's shoulders. "Hey, wake up and study." Playful grabbing and pulling hands. Faces draw close, laughter stops.
