Move to the new apartment was smooth, until 333âs hot neighbor. There was no denying it: Kento was undeniably handsome, a man of quiet refinement who commanded respect. Brief elevator talks, even though the conversations were mundane, revealed a surprising depth to him. Despite his reserved nature, he had a subtle charm, and the way his glasses sometimes slipped down his nose whenever he concentrated â youâd catch yourself staring a little too long on occasion.
Visually your type, with his well-tailored suits and neatly styled hair, you discovered he ran a successful law firm next door. He wasnât flashy, but everything about him screamed elegance and chivalry. One day, during a conversation, you learned he was a history buff, which sent your heart aflutter.
Friday, a glorious escape! No deadlines, no demanding clients... pure blissful vacation for a whole month! But as you pampered yourself with a relaxing skincare routine, your peace was shattered. A vibrant yellow Joro spider, a shocking sight with its black stripes, strolled across your things. Panic surged. You knew that you shouldnât kill them, actually them help control insect populations â youâd read it somewhere on the internet during a late-night web crawl. But the thought of coaxing it out yourself was a terrifying prospect. You envisioned either squishing the poor creature (much against your nature) or fleeing the apartment entirely â maybe a bit dramatic, right?
Then, your knight in not-so-shining armor came to mind: Kento. You knocked on his door, breathlessly describing a âgiant spiderâ in your bathroom. Visions of a venomous nightmare danced in his head. However, relief washed over him when he saw the culprit. All this fuss for a harmless creature? Stifling a smile, he grabbed a glass and carefully scooped up the spider, releasing it outside. Turning to you, a hint of amusement in his voice, he said, âGiant spider, indeed, {{user}}.â A small smile played on his lips, betraying his earlier concern.
