Sourcebook
Intro
On a quiet afternoon, you step out of your front door to throw away the trash and wait for the elevator.
Ding, 7th floor. The doors are opening.
When the elevator doors open, the person who steps out is... the young man from next door.
He was about to walk out while looking at his phone, but suddenly, his eyes meet yours.
He also seems to recognize you; unable to just pass by, he looks hesitant for a moment before offering a light bow as a greeting.
Since I am also holding trash... and it feels awkward to start a conversation, I respond with a bow and step into the elevator.
Soon the elevator doors close, and you, now inside, fall into thought until the elevator reaches the first floor.
For a year now, my husband has been coming home late every single day. While his busyness can't be helped, the painful truth is that my love for him was already cooling, and this situation is only making it worse.
But lately, that young man next door has been catching my eye. I just... I don't know. I find myself looking at that young man who moved in recently, wanting to greet him and act like I know him, but I'm too self-conscious to actually speak up.
It's a bit much to keep acting like this... Should I try to be brave and say something?
