Jibi Eopseo, also known as No Home/Homeless, is a {{Dramedy}} [[KoreanWebtoons web-hosted manhwa]] with supernatural elements by Wanan currently ongoing since 2018. It follows the antics of the pair of roommates/frienemies comprised of Haejoon Goh, a stoic loner [[NewTransferStudent transfer student]] [[MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold with a heart of gold]], and Eunyung Baek, a popular first-year with a [[{{Jerkass}} devilish attitude]] that [[FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon contrasts his angelic face]] (and eventually the friends they make). The two are first acquainted on horrendous terms after an incident that leaves Haejoon robbed of his life savings with a stab wound in his side, and Eunyung with the tent he called home in shambles. To make matters worse, this incident leaves Haejoon in the hospital just long enough to miss the highly-anticipated dormitory application deadline. ''[[SarcasmMode Greaaat]]''.

There's no place like home, and rightfully so. It's the place you go to relax and unwind, the sanctuary where your true self can breathe, the space you share with your family and loved ones…or sometimes with [[BreadEggsMilkSquick a couple of ghosts and the asshole who robbed and stabbed you]].

Jibi Eopseo, also known as No Home/Homeless, is a {{Dramedy}} [[KoreanWebtoons web-hosted manhwa]] with supernatural elements by Wanan currently ongoing since 2018.

To make matters worse, this incident leaves Haejoon in the hospital just long enough to miss the highly-anticipated dormitory application deadline. ''[[SarcasmMode Greaaat]]''.
Naturally, the two hate each other, seemingly having only one thing in common: a desire to [[TheRunaway get away from their family homes]]. This shared desire unites them enough to [[EnemyMine begrudgingly cohabitate]] in the only 'dorm' left available for them—an abandoned and run-down house that's infamous for allegedly being [[HauntedHouse haunted]]. Faced with intruders and obstacles that range from friend to foe and worldly to ghastly, the two must learn to put aside their differences for the sake of protecting what home means to them.
Jibi Eopseo updates weekly on Mondays and can be read [[https://comic.naver.com/webtoon/list?titleId=721433 here]] in the original Korean.

Seeing as how toxic living situations and various forms of parental abuse are a prominent ongoing theme, this story may be distressing for some readers.

!! Jibi Eopseo provides examples of:
* AbuseDiscretionShot: Used various times throughout the story, usually cutting before displaying the receiver with a notable bruise/injury following the incident.
* AbusiveParents: Being a series that deals with the many reasons why a child would want to escape home, a good amount of the main cast has abusive parents, including:
** Eunyung Baek, who deals with physical abuse, gaslighting, and neglect from both his mother and father.
** Marie Kim, specifically her physically abusive and dismissive father.
** Hara Kang, whose mother is controlling and belittling of her true desires.
* BaitAndSwitchCharacterIntro: His first appearance wasn't entirely this way, but his formal introduction had Haejoon genuinely believing for a second that Eunyung was a timid sweetheart who only got into it with him previously because he was possessed—it wasn't until he accidentally drops Haejoon's stolen wallet that Eunyung once again unveils his true self.
* BattleDiscretionShot: When Eunyung faces off against Dongju's bullies, the actually battle is replaced with a view of a shellshocked Dongju and an impressive repertoire of violent sound effects and colorful language. This combined with the shadowed out stylistic choice serves as build-up to the reveal that Eunyung [[spoiler: isn't actually a good fighter]].
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Haejoon. "Do no harm but take no shit" personified.
* BigBrotherBully: Ever since his father gave him explicit permission to do so, Marie's older brother takes any opportunity to get violent with her in the name of 'keeping her in line'.
** [[spoiler: Revealed to be generational, as Marie's dad treated his sister the same way in their youth.]]
* BitchSlap: Eunyung dishes a much-deserved one out to Dongju's bullies.
* BreakingTheCycleOfBadParenting: Soohyun Ohm, Minju's mother. After enduring a hard life courtesy of her [[AbusiveParents aggressive father]] and over-reliant mother, she swore that she would never let her children have to go through what she did.
* BullyHunter: Haejoon takes on this role oftentimes due to his strong sense of justice.
* ClusterFBomb: [[DrinkingGame Take a shot]] every time "fucking bitch" or some variant is dropped…if you have a death wish.
* CoolAunt: Marie's aunt is the most positive adult role model in her life.
* DaddyDidntShow: The reason why Eunyung is so bitter about [[spoiler: his theater days. His father ignoring the handwritten invitation to the show Eunyung starred in was one thing, but his mother showing up only to look him dead in the eyes before leaving wordlessly was a whole new level of hurt]].
* {{Delinquent}}: Eunyung fits the archetype to a T. Despite being the youngest of the main cast, he is known for running away from home, getting into fights, displaying blatant disregard for the law, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking having blonde hair]].
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Hara is popular within the school, specifically with the female demographic.
* EveryoneLovesBlondes: Fair-haired Eunyung is fawned over by fellow students for his looks.
-->'''Juwan:''' People were going wild trying to get a look at him during orientation. The teachers even had to give out a warning because second and third years were going to see him. The first year building got too crowded.\\
'''Haejoon:''' …Isn't it just because of his hairstyle?
* Fangirl: Eunyung has gathered quite a few of these.
* FantasyForbiddingMother: Hara's passion for judo is frequently belittled and discouraged by her mother, despite her being the one to push Hara towards it in the first place.
* GoldDigger: Eunyung makes a (probably) unserious quip about wanting to use his looks to seduce a rich girl and become a stay-at-home husband.
* GreekChorus: Eunyung's friend group in the earlier chapters fearfully provide useful exposition.
--> '''Friend 1:''' Oh shit..!! Haejoon insulted his tent, which Eunyung [[BerserkButton hates more than anything…!]] \\
'''Friend 2:''' Somebody make Haejoon shut up..! \\
'''Friend 3:''' Wait, [[LampshadeHanging why are we commentating this??]]
* TheHeart: Juwan acts as this to Haejoon and Eunyung (or attempts to, anyway).
* HeroWithBadPublicity: Haejoon during the Marie Kim arc, after being framed as a violent bully in the school newspaper due to an overblown misunderstanding on Marie's part. Well, the violent part was true, but he was in fact saving a kid from getting bullied.
* HiddenEyes: Characters often appear this way throughout the story to indicate when they are not to be messed with.
* {{Housewife}}: Juwan's mom. [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]], since it's because of this lifestyle that's equally stressful as it is lonely that she's [[MyBelovedSmother the way she is]].
* InstantWebHit: The video of Eunyung performing in his school's play of Cinderella as a child quickly goes viral, at least within the school.
* ISeeDeadPeople: A unique ability Haejoon has. Naturally, it causes him a fair amount of stress.
* [[LoserSonOfLoserDad Loser Son of Loser Mom]]: Growing up, Haejoon was ostracized and bullied for being the son of a woman who was believed to be crazy due to her extreme superstitiousness. Eunyung later [[BerserkButton hits him where it hurts]] when he implies that Haejoon must be just as crazy as his mother was.
* MaidenAunt: Marie's aunt.
* ManipulativeBastard: Eunyung Baek. His acting skills and frightening ability to say exactly what will either set someone off or drop them to their knees make up for what he lacks in physical fighting skill.
* MirrorCharacter: The two most popular kids in school, Eunyung and Hara, are this to each other. [[spoiler: They both pursued a craft that they were extremely talented in and passionate about, garnered fame because of it, and ended up wanting to give up after suffering crushing disapprovals courtesy of their parents. The key difference between them is that while Hara had Juwan to cheer her on and eventually motivate her to keep pursuing what she loves today, Eunyung had no one and grew up with nothing but bitterness towards the craft he once loved.]]
* MissingMom: Haejoon's, following her untimely demise, and Marie's, following her parents' divorce.
* MistakenForGay: Juwan on multiple occasions. This is usually courtesy of his great admiration towards Haejoon, but Minju believed it even since they were children.
--> '''Juwan:''' He's only innocent when he's with me. If you look carefully…he's…really an assertive and cool person…
--> '''Hara:''' Are you sure you're not [[HoYay in love with Haejoon?]]
* MommasBoy: Despite his frustrations with her superstitious attitude, Haejoon loved his mom dearly. Further emphasized when he can't help but project that love onto Juwan's similarly sweet but hard-to-get-through-to mother.
* ParentalAbandonment: Haejoon's mom recently passed away, and his father has never been seen or mentioned.
* PartingWordsRegret: The last words Haejoon said to his mother before her abrupt death were "I'm sick of living with you".
* RedIsViolent: Characters are often displayed on a simplistic red background to indicate a state of rage or imminent ass-kicking. The [[HairTriggerTemper particularly aggressive]] Eunyung is often associated with this color as well.
* TheRunaway: Most of the main characters fit this trope for different reasons.
* SiblingRivalry: Marie and her older brother, although it crosses from inevitable hostility to flat-out abuse on many occasions.
* SickEpisode: The arc Sick Day features a sickly Haejoon, while the arc Eunyung Baek's Home features a sickly Eunyung.
* SlasherSmile: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] example when a little Hara displays this after finally being able to throw the superior who'd been teasing her in Judo.
* VitriolicBestBuds: The peculiar sort of relationship that Haejoon and Eunyung share as time goes on.
