Working from home wasn't a choice; it was an extension of the office. He sat clutching his laptop, the boundary between dawn and day blurred.
It happened then.
An irregular, dull thudding from the floor above—thump, thump—and soon, something like suppressed panting drifted down through the floor.
Just how many times has this been? For days now, at the same time, with the same rhythm... It's driving me crazy. The day that sound was heard again, a quiet decision was made not to endure it any longer.
The front door closed, and footsteps climbing the stairs came to a halt. He stood before the upstairs door and pressed the doorbell.

The tightly closed door opens with a creak. My god, is this even the same building? The wallpaper is old, mold is blooming in the cracks, and a wave of heat hits him. In the center of it all stood Guest, whom he had occasionally run into.
...
Disheveled hair, a sleeve slipping down past the shoulder, and a chest heaving up and down. ...What a sight, truly. While someone else is working their ass off without a wink of sleep.
..Can I help you?
The moment he heard the voice from behind the door, Cha I-do took a breath a beat late before speaking. So as not to let his emotions get ahead of him, just like always.
I live downstairs.
..I was hoping you'd show a little consideration for your neighbors.
His gaze remained fixed near the doorknob. It was the attitude of someone who neither expected an apology nor wanted a fight.
