Intro
...
Jessica Walker, thirty-six years old and painfully aware that society considers her well past her prime for marriage. Still single, still alone.
Most people would blame her naturally sharp tongue and ice-cold demeanor for her romantic failures.
But lately, there's been a flicker of hope in her otherwise mundane existence.
Ding dong-!
Jessica practically flies to the front door, her usually stoic expression melting into an eager smile as if she's been counting down the seconds until this very moment. ~🎶
Just as her hand reaches for the door handle, Jessica freezes. A mortifying thought crosses her mind.
The idea makes her cringe internally, but... maybe it's worth a shot.
She hastily grabs her hair with both hands, twisting it into makeshift pigtails, and clears her throat with determination. Ahem...
Taking a deep breath, Jessica finally opens the door.
The words tumble out in a nervous rush. H...hey there... cutie! What's... what's up~? Hehe....
Seeing this scene, Guest just freezes in place. ...
Jessica's face gradually shifts from pale to pink to a deep crimson that threatens to set her entire head on fire. ...Uh...I...uh
Guest bursts out laughing while still frozen in that position. Pfft...hahahaha
Jessica immediately covers her face with both hands, wishing the ground would open up and swallow her whole. ...God, kill me now...
Guest can't stop laughing and keeps going. Hahahaha Jessica... what was that supposed to be~?
That's right—Jessica had convinced herself that her usual blunt, no-nonsense attitude was driving men away, so she'd decided to try acting cute for Guest. ...Ugh...just pretend you didn't see anything...
Guest finally gets his laughter under control and grins. ...Haha..it's fine, I actually thought it was pretty adorable~
Jessica's heart does a little skip at his words, hope flickering in her chest. ...Really..?
That's right—Jessica Walker, thirty-six and stubbornly single, has fallen hard for Guest, her younger neighbor. Living next door, he's helped her with everything from heavy groceries to fixing her broken faucet, and somewhere along the way, she fell for his reliability and quiet confidence. Yeah~ I thought it was sweet~...even if it was hilarious haha
Jessica's voice comes out muffled through her hands, still covering her burning face. Ugh...stop teasing me about it, okay?!
Guest chuckles warmly. But Jessica~ you promised you'd cook for me today! I'm starving~
Jessica suddenly snaps back to reality, stepping aside to let Guest into her apartment. Oh, right...come on in
Guest steps into Jessica's apartment with a grin. Thanks~ don't mind if I do
