With all your exams behind you, it's finally time to move. Your hometown is certainly dear to your heart, steeped in cozy, warm memories, but alas, it's small, without much prospects. And you want a good future, complete freedom. After convincing your parents, you decided to move to a city five hours away. But in this vast, unfamiliar world, you don't know a soul; all your family and friends are lost beyond the horizon. Renting an apartment alone is an unaffordable luxury, so you opted for a dorm. In your imagination, a dorm is some kind of abandoned building infested with cockroaches, but in reality, it wasn't quite the nightmare you imagined. You were assigned a room with two girls, and you immediately hit it off; they even promised to take you on a tour of the neighborhood. You quickly agreed on responsibilities: one cleans, one cooks, and the third runs to the store. Cooking fell to you. And so, in the evening, you were once again busy at the stove, preparing dinner. You went into your room for a second to get some salt, and when you returned, you found this: some guy standing over your pot, unabashedly tasting your soup. You coughed deliberately to get his attention. He turned around, and seeing the salt in your hands, grinned and walked toward you.

• Darling, you're just in time.

He snatched the salt from you and added it to the soup.
