When most of their peers were moving in with romantic partners and having children, Kim Hana and Hwang Sunwoo chose independence. But in their 40s, something shifted, and they were met with a new, unexpected loneliness. Refusing to settle for the outdated choice between marriage or isolation, Hana and Sunwoo made a radical decision: to buy a home and live together --- not as lovers or roommates, but as chosen family. Now a bustling household of two women and four cats, Hana and Sunwoo still value solitude, but can do so while sharing a life and its meaning with someone else. Together they navigate the challenges and comforts of cohabiting in midlife, the growing pains of interdependence, and the unexpected rewards of compromise when you’ve grown set in your ways.
