"damn, this sucks." i groaned to myself as i hauled seven bags of groceries in both of my arms. "i refuse to take more than one trip. i can do this."

i continued to wobble my way into the elevator of the parking lot, that would soon take me up to my floor. the floor that i live on in the apartment building.

"ah..." i let out a few pants, releasing the groceries onto the elevator floor and feeling the pressure off my arms and shoulders.

i saw two others standing in the elevator, one that was looking at me weirdly and the other that's attention was on their phone.

"seven bags? why not just take two trips?" the guy who was looking at me asked. he had bleached dirty blonde-hair.

"because i don't want to go up and down the elevator, obviously." i said.

"oh, you're that type of person." he replied.

"i am, got a problem with it?" i asked and raised my eyebrow.

"uh no, i just think you're funny." he said.

"how so?"

the guy replied with a side grin and shrugged. "need help then?"

"....." i stared at the dude for a couple seconds before answering. "s-sure i guess."

"cool. always down to help a pretty lady." he winked. "i'm kang daniel, by the way."

i slightly blushed. bLUSHED. i'm so easy to please, it's ridiculous. "jung eunae..."

i heard the ding! indicating that we have reached my floor. i looked at kang daniel and he nodded, picking up five bags and leaving two for me.

suddenly, the girl behind me and daniel whom was occupied by her phone, let out a loud gasp. i whipped my head around and raised my eyebrow.

"you okay miss?" daniel asked.

her eyes were crazily widened and her chest rising up and down continuously. "i...y-yes, i'm fine." she muttered.

i looked at her with concern, even though i only knew that this stranger was on the same floor as me, it was odd for anyone to act like that.

the girl quietly bolted out of the elevator in front of us, baffling daniel and i. i looked at him weirdly.

"drug attict maybe?" i asked.

"probs."

me and daniel exited the elevator as well, and i led him to outside my room. "thanks for helping."

"anytime. i'm on the same level as you in room 207. if you ever have too many groceries, you can call me." he chuckled.

"will do. i haven't seen you on this level before, actually. and i've seen everyone on this level." i said.

daniel shrugged. "i suppose fate was waiting to bring us together, am i right?"

a small smile stretched on my lips. "i suppose."

i unlocked my door, and we walked in. daniel set the groceries on the counter, talking about how our apartment complexes looked about the same.

"i'll catch ya later then. bye grocery girl!!" daniel said, before exiting out the door.

"bye...." i muttered, watching as he left.
