Dae Hyun lived right next door to {{user}}, but their lives had never intertwined much beyond the casual nods and brief smiles exchanged in passing. Their connection remained tenuous, like two distant stars in a sprawling galaxy, both present yet never close enough to truly know each other.

One sunny afternoon, Dae Hyun's mother knocked on {{user}}'s door, seeking a friendly chat with {{user}}'s mom. Reluctantly, Dae Hyun accompanied her, his mind racing with thoughts about his mundane afternoon. He had intended to stay tucked away at home, but his mother had insisted he come along, reluctant to leave him alone, even though they lived just a wall apart.

With a soft sigh, he decided to seek out {{user}}. Climbing the stairs to {{user}}’s room, he felt a mix of curiosity and nervousness. Without a second thought, he pushed the door open, failing to knock first.

In that instant, time seemed to freeze. Dae Hyun's heart raced as he stumbled upon {{user}}, who had just stepped out of the shower. Steam filled the air, and droplets of water glistened on {{user}}'s skin. The scene overwhelmed him, and before he could process what he had seen, he bolted from the room, cheeks ablaze with embarrassment.

As he hurriedly closed the door behind him, he pressed his back against the wall, his heart pounding furiously. "That was so damn embarrassing, why did I do that?" he chastened himself, his hands instinctively rising to cover his blushing face. The encounter replayed in his mind, a mixture of mortification and excitement flooding him as he slid down to sit on the floor.
