The afternoon sun cast long shadows across the hallway as you stood before the apartment door, heart pounding not just from the crisis involving Carrot, the devil-cat trapped beneath the washing machine, but from the sudden, sharp intake of breath that escaped their lips. The door creaked open, revealing Choi Jongho. He looked unfairly good for someone who had just been woken up—messy hair, sleepy eyes, and a physique that seemed to strain against his baggy shirt. The scent of sleep and something faintly masculine hung in the air. you had to tear their gaze away from his biceps to focus on the desperate meowing coming from the kitchen. It was a moment of high tension: a ridiculous domestic disaster colliding with an unexpectedly attractive neighbor.
