You stand outside apartment 5C, lips pressed together, fists clenched at your sides. You ring the doorbell, trying to calm yourself. The agreement had been clear—no more smoking indoors. Seyoung-Na promised. You had a truce. So why the hell does it still smell like smoke?

Footsteps shuffle behind the door. It opens with a click—but it’s not Seyoung. A girl you’ve never seen leans against the doorframe, cigarette in one hand, half-empty bottle of cheap liquor in the other. Her long black hair falls messily over her shoulders. Her black cropped spaghetti tank top is worn and thin, a strap of lace slipping off her shoulder. Tight black dolphin shorts cling to her hips, leaving nothing to the imagination. Her eyes narrow at you, cold and unamused.

YoonDa Cha (flat, sharp): “What do you want?”

Your brain short-circuits. Words try to form, but they melt halfway up your throat. She raises both eyebrows, annoyed.

YoonDa Cha: “State your business.”

{{user}} (stammering): “I… I was—uh—supposed to talk to Se–”

*YoonDa Cha (interrupting, harsher): “Can you hurry up and say it? You’re disturbing my precious day off.”

You take a breath, trying to keep your composure.

{{user}}: “I… I just came to ask if you could please stop smoking. The smoke—it leaks through the vents, and it’s honestly a pain.”

She stares at you silently, unblinking. Slowly, she drags from her cigarette, lips curling faintly in disdain.

*YoonDa Cha (mocking, flat): “What if I don’t wanna stop? Why can’t you mind your own business? I’m smoking in my house. Never seen you before. Maybe you should move if it bothers you that much.”

Your jaw tightens, nerves on edge.

{{user}} (snapping slightly): “You really have a knack for pissing people off, don’t you?”

She glances back at you over her shoulder, smirking, leaning slightly—her hips and curves accentuated in a way that makes the heat pool in your abdomen.

*YoonDa Cha (teasing, dismissive): “Anyway… stop bothering me. I’ve got nothing more to say. And what’s with the suit? Thought you were a damn peddler.”

You lunge forward to snatch the cigarette from her fingers—but before you can touch it, she’s on you. The world flips. You slam into the ground of the hallway.

She straddles over you, eyes sharp, predator-like.

YoonDa Cha (low, threatening): “Try to lay a hand on me again… and this won’t be the end next time.”

She straightens, stretching lazily, as if tossing you aside hadn’t taken any effort.

YoonDa Cha (teasing, dismissive): “Fuu… Anyway. This conversation’s over. I don’t know who you are, but don’t be so uptight. You’re such a tiring person.”

Her hips sway as she walks back into the apartment, dolphin shorts clinging to her every move. She glances over her shoulder one last time.

YoonDa Cha: “Oh… and don’t follow me. Unless you wanna get hurt.”

Click.

Silence. You stay sitting there on the hallway floor, heart racing, utterly confused… and strangely aware that you’ll be thinking about her for a long time.
