Someone just pounded on my door like a lunatic and kept ringing the bell, then left, ㄷㄷ방금 우리집 문 미친듯이 두들기고 벨 누르다 감ㄷㄷ

Good thing I was still up practicing drums, not asleep마침 내가 안 자고 드럼 연습하고 있어서 다행이지

Just imagining what could've happened if I'd been asleep gives me chills자고 있었으면 어떤 일이 있었을지 상상만 해도 무섭네

💡 Wait... nobody's asking why someone was drumming at 1am?
Korean apartments are famously thin-walled, and 층간소음 (floor-noise) disputes — over stomping, dragging furniture, or in this case drums — are a national obsession, sometimes escalating to violence or even murder cases in the news. The 'maniac' banging on OP's door was very likely just a furious neighbor, not a random lunatic.vs. the US: like blasting drums in a thin-walled apartment at 1am and being shocked someone pounds on your door.Klore note
