chanmi looked at the building she was dropped off at. it was tall, but small. the first thing that came to her mind was that the building was tall enough to be jumped off of and not survive.

she looked behind her to see that the driver already left, "really feeling the love mr. lee." chanmi muttered as she turned around and walked into the tall building.

she brought one suitcase with her, which was little considering she would be living in this apartment complex for the rest of her college life. while going into the front lobby area, she smiled brightly and looked around.

"hi, how may i help you?" the front desk lady smiles back at chanmi, chanmi's warm smile was rubbing off.

chanmi walks to the front desk, "i'm moving in, choi chanmi, can i get my keys?"

the woman nods, recalling the papers and everything were already done with. she looks through her things and picks up keys and some letters.

the woman hands everything to chanmi, "all your things are here, and some things which were suppose to be given to you when you moved in, your apartment will be on the third floor."

chanmi nods, politely waving to the woman before going towards the elevator. once she enters the empty elevator, she scrunches her nose in disgust.

"who smoked in here?" chanmi absolutely hated the smell and wanted to leave the box which had the stench of cigarette smoke.

the doors finally open and chanmi runs out like kang daniel was waiting for her on the other side. the girl takes a look at her apartment number and sees the numbers '308' written down. she searches through the empty and quiet hallways, until she finally finds her apartment.

she gets her keys out and opens the door to reveal an already set up apartment. the furniture, pillows, blankets, food, and everything were supplied, she wouldn't be surprised if there was a closet full of clothes as well.

chanmi puts up her suitcase in her bedroom and then begins to explore her new home. however, upon taking a seat in the living room, she could smell that awful smell again. she frowns at the smell and walks around, sniffing to see where the smell was coming from. the place where it was strongest, underneath a vent, which had to have been connected to the entire building.

chanmi sighed and began walking for the front door, deciding to knock on everyone's door until she found whoever was smoking. when walking out the door, she threw on a sweet smile and went to the door across from her own.

no reply.

the door on the left.

no reply.

she went to the door on the right and began thinking she was going crazy. was she imagining the smell?

after a couple of knocks, she heard movement on the other side. which meant signs of life. which probably means she was only a little crazy.

the door opened and it revealed a boy dressed in all black, and chanmi smiled as widely as she could, but her eyes were tearing up, "what?" he harshly asked as he noticed the girl.

with the opening of the door, a stronger cigarette smell burned chanmi's nostrils, causing her to cover her nose and mouth, "do you smoke or something?"

he sighed and looked into his house, "why does it matter if i do or not?"

"uh," chanmi awkwardly dragged her foot along the floor, "the smell is in my apartment too, and i hate the smell."

"goody-two-shoes doesn't like it? shame." and with that, he slams the door in her face.

"asshole," chanmi mutters as she walks around the rest of the hallway to ask any other neighbor how they feel about the boy who smoked.

but...

there was no one else on that floor. just the two. which meant chanmi was in for one hell of a ride.
