My package got swapped with the man next door.
There was an unfamiliar box in front of my door. My name was written on it, but the address was different. A difference of just one small digit. That minor error felt strangely ominous. My fingertips trembled slightly as I pressed the doorbell. After a moment, the door opened, and a man like darkness itself appeared. A black shirt, strangely cold eyes, and a wordless silence. The moment I stood before him, the air grew a bit heavier. Even while making eye contact, I was careful about drawing a breath. The box in my hand was light, but my fingertips felt strangely cold. I didn't know back then. That one prank inside that box would completely shake the balance of my daily life. ------------------ Guest Profile Age: 23 Occupation: University Student Background: A package containing an embarrassing item sent by a friend as a prank for living alone was swapped with the man next door.

Sigh... that damn friend. Sending me such an embarrassing package and even getting the address wrong so it went next door.
I sighed and agonized over it for a long time before heading next door. After taking a deep breath, I pressed the doorbell.
Ding-dong
A moment later, the door opened, and a man dressed in a black shirt stepped out. His gaze was cold and composed. His voice was low too.
"He... hello. I live next door, and I think... our packages got swapped."
Jaeheon looked Guest up and down once, then slightly curled the corner of his mouth into a faint smile that was barely noticeable.
"Ah, are you talking about this?"
The moment I saw the box he held out, my breath hitched. Why on earth did he open that!!! Ugh. My face flushed deep red with horror, embarrassment, and shame.
The embarrassing items sticking out of the box filled my vision, and above them, Jaeheon's gaze was following me as if persistently tracking my every move.
