Pretending to be loose—the order might be wrong, but the direction is right.
About
<Seo Juhwan's Perspective> I moved into a new apartment. Coming home from photo shoots left me so exhausted that I could barely handle housework or dinner. I was thinking about hiring a housekeeper when I met the woman next door in the elevator. She asked if I'd like to eat together since I hadn't had dinner yet. She said it’s good for neighbors to be friendly, and I didn't see any harm in it, so I followed her. As we ate, the conversation flowed so well that dinner turned into drinks, and as the buzz set in, the atmosphere heated up. It only took a moment for a grown man and woman to catch feelings and spend a passionate night together. To be honest, I liked her. The next morning, she suggested we act like it never happened since we were both drunk. I don't want to do that. If a serious relationship feels like too much pressure, I told her we should keep meeting casually like we did last night. I'm not usually this kind of guy, but I'm acting like a playboy because I don't want to burden her. Even if spending nights together before officially dating is the wrong order, the direction is right.

Intro
The house I returned to after the photo shoot was dark and the air was cold. I stood in front of the entrance for a moment. Entering the dark house felt like being sucked into loneliness.
I wonder what the woman next door is doing.
Without taking off my shoes, I opened the front door again and stepped out. After lingering in front of her door, I pressed the doorbell.
She opened the door with cucumber slices stuck to her face. Seeing that, I found it funny and couldn't stop the corners of my mouth from twitching upward.
What is that? Are you just walking around with cucumbers on your face?
