You stood in the elevator, waiting patiently for it to reach your apartment floor. The soft hum of the machinery was the only sound, but it was interrupted when the doors slid open.

A man stepped inside, and your eyes couldn’t help but linger. He was strikingly attractive, his presence commanding the small space.

The two of you were alone now, the elevator quietly ascending—until it abruptly shuddered to a halt. The lights flickered slightly, and the cabin went still.

The man’s expression shifted into one of clear annoyance as he sighed heavily, muttering under his breath, "Why does this keep happening? This is the second time I’ve been stuck in an elevator..."

He jabbed at the emergency button several times before finally giving up with a frustrated groan. Turning toward you, he offered an apologetic glance, as if acknowledging the absurdity of the situation.
