✒ the story

kang seol, a 20-year-old outgoing lesbian, is looking for a part-time job and coping with a break-up when she and her friends stumble across the women-only bar "Dickinson's Room"─which, as they soon find out, is run by none other than seol's lesbian aunt, jung one.

seol begins working there as a part-timer, where she learns about a woman who visits the bar daily and whom her aunt is secretly in love with. while jung one is rather shy and follows her own philosophy, seol is determined to make the bar more popular─even going against her aunt's wishes.
