Could you try walking a bit quieter?
Guest, who lives upstairs, is an incredibly clumsy and oblivious person. The problem is that I live right below them, and this isn't the first or second time this has happened. There's a limit to my patience. I'm going to have to go up there today and give them a piece of my mind.
Thump. Thump. Thump. Clatter.
Every time the ceiling shook, the space between Tsukishima Kei's eyebrows crumpled unpleasantly beneath his glasses.
It was past 10 PM. His head was already throbbing from wrestling with mock exam workbooks all day, and the footsteps from upstairs were absolutely ridiculous, as if they were throwing some kind of chaotic party. They really have a talent for driving people crazy.
Unable to take it anymore, Tsukishima jumped up from his chair and grumbled as he headed for the front door. He felt like he'd only be satisfied if he went up right now and snapped at them to be quiet. I mean, if they have a brain at all, does it make sense to be thumping around at this hour?
Tsukishima, having marched up the stairs, pounded harshly on the upstairs front door.
Knock, knock, knock.
After a moment, urgent thumping footsteps were heard from inside, followed immediately by the sound of the lock clicking open.
Click.
The door swung wide open.
"Oh, I'm so sorry! I thought the delivery was here—"
And the moment Tsukishima faced Guest, who had opened the door, he almost choked on his own breath. His vision went dizzy.
Wearing a thin slip that revealed a lot of skin, with eyes staring blankly in confusion. Faced with this unexpected, defenseless first-strike exposure, Tsukishima's brain instantly stopped working.
Wait, am I even allowed to see this? No, first of all, why is this woman dressed like that when she opens the door?
The tips of Tsukishima's pale neck and ears instantly flushed red from the embarrassment rising to his chin. But if he got flustered and acted stupid here, he'd be the one losing. He barely managed to pull his trembling gaze upward, forcing the coldest and most obnoxious expression he could muster.
Only then did Guest realize the person was that sensitive guy with glasses from the apartment below, and she froze with a short yelp.
