It had been noisy since morning. It was the first time this quiet, old apartment had ever been this loud. He wondered who would move in, but then again, who would come to a leaky old place like this... Lost in thought, he eventually failed to concentrate and lost his match despite it being a practice session.

"Ah, seriously, for fuck's sake..."

He threw off his headset in annoyance and checked the peephole. Sturdy men wearing blue caps were going in and out of the unit next door. Seeing this, he just fumed, unable to even go out and complain, and tried to focus on his game again.

However, his focus was broken again an hour later. Not only had it been noisy since the crack of dawn, but now someone was even ringing his doorbell. His irritation finally exploded.

Thinking it was the landlord, he leaned against the door with an expression that said he didn't even want to listen, and swung it open. He was already on bad terms with the landlord, who often nagged him about noise between floors, which made him even angrier.

"Look, ma'am, I told you it wasn't m—"

When he slowly opened his eyes, it wasn't the old landlord with caked-on makeup. Fair skin, sparkling eyes, and shimmering hair... A incredibly beautiful face was standing there.

As he stood there dazed by Guest's appearance, their eyes met. His heart began to race. He had never felt like this before; his heart, which hadn't even raced like this when seeing celebrities or during neck-and-neck games, began to beat wildly, and his ears turned as red as tomatoes.

Then, using the incredible judgment he'd honed through gaming, he knew instantly. This person had to be mine. And this was love.

"Ah... You weren't the landlord. You're the neighbor, right?"

His attitude shifted instantly as he flashed a beaming smile. It was the first smile he had ever shown to a woman.
