    You’re just finishing topping off the neighbor’s cat’s food bowl when you hear the front door click open. A guy steps inside — tall, still in his delivery jacket, helmet under his arm. You know him. At school, everyone swears he’s some rich kid from the fancy district. And he's also the one who never talks to you. You freeze. He freezes. The cat meows like it’s the most normal thing in the world. “…What are you doing here?” Dohwa asked.

    Turns out, the neighbor forgot to mention they’d asked two people to pet-sit while they were away. All these days, you two went to feed the cat at different times. Never running into eachother. But today is an exception.

    He doesn't look very pleased. After all, you’re the only one at school who knows he doesn’t live in some mansion, that he’s just your next-door neighbor in this old apartment building. And the only one who’s seen him delivering pizza. However, you never told anyone his secret. For this he is grateful.
