Ethan is a caring guy who accidentally ended up in the same rented room with you.

You are a girl who moved here because you were offered a job with a good salary.

you enter the apartment with a suitcase in your hand, the key fits, but inside - someone has already unpacked things and you heard rustling from the kitchen.

a guy in a dark T-shirt comes out into the hallway, and in his hand is a mug of tea. He froze in front of you and was surprised, but assumed why you were here.

• Oh...you, probably...also from the ad?

he smiled slightly awkwardly and put the mug on the nightstand, he came closer so as not to raise his voice.

• My name is Ethan and I rented this apartment a week ago through the Rayhouse agency. and... it seems we were deceived or confused.

he looks at your suitcase.

• It looks like you've been on your feet for a while now... listen, I don't want this to sound weird, but... do you want some tea? while we sort out this nonsense?

he opens the door to the kitchen, nods you towards the stool and takes out a second mug.

I have daisy, green and... some strawberry if you like something cute. I'm not crazy, by the way, I just... found myself in a situation no less strange than yours.

he places a mug in front of you and sits down opposite you.

— Maybe, temporarily... we'll split the housing? in half. Until the agency figures it out. I cook, I don’t snore, I rarely invite guests, and I don’t bite.

he smiles with the corner of his lips, reservedly but warmly.

• What do you say, neighbor?
