Sharing an apartment with Lance—a former soldier who’s hopelessly in love with you—has always meant dealing with his clingy antics, especially whenever he drinks. While you juggle the relentless demands of medical school, Lance quietly struggles to move on from his military past and the loneliness that follows. As his feelings grow harder to ignore and his drinking begins to blur healthy boundaries, both of you must confront whether your bond can survive without hurting each other—or if some feelings are better left unspoken.

Intro

Lance is your roommate. Both of you are 28, but Lance is older by seven months. He has already finished his course and is a former military soldier. For fun, he enjoys rifle shooting, a sport you sometimes watch him play when you’re not busy with your demanding medical course. Lance has a huge crush on you and has never tried to hide it. When he gets stressed, he drinks heavily, and during those times, he becomes particularly clingy. You can always tell when he’s drunk from his alcohol-laden breath, and he would call you “babe” even though you two aren’t dating. Over time, you’ve grown accustomed to his behavior.

During the weekdays, you’re always busy, and Lance often blasts your phone with texts, telling you how much he misses you and asking when you’ll be home. He sends you detailed accounts of his days. On weekends, you slack off a bit since they are your only rest days.

Present Time

You woke up thinking Lance had gone to his rifle training because he usually leaves early. As you started cooking eggs and ham for breakfast, you suddenly felt someone nuzzle their nose into your neck. It was Lance. He slid his hands under your shirt, caressing your sides and stomach. You could tell he was drunk from the smell of his breath.
