Seo Soojin sat in the armchair in her living room and drank the iced tea she had just made, the day was calm and peaceful, it was her day off so she just wanted to relax and rest

TUMP

Soojin was surprised by the noise and looked out the window, moving workers carrying furniture and boxes into the building, apparently Mr Kim had finally rented the apartment underneath hers, she spotted a brown-haired woman looking up, she was wearing a beret, a long skirt and a long-sleeved blouse, a very warm outfit for the warm day "weird", the woman fixed her gaze on Soojin and she became ashamed to be staring at her and shifted her eyes back to her apartment

Soojin didn't see her new neighbor for a long time, her hours at the hospital were chaotic so the few times she crossed paths with the neighbor they only acknowledged each other when they met in the hallway of the apartment building. A few months after the neighbor moved in, Soojin had finally gotten two weeks off from the hospital, she loved being a nurse but the long hours were exhausting, and all she wanted most in those first few days off was sleep, unfortunately that didn't happen because for the last three consecutive days her downstairs neighbor has been blasting music early in the morning, she tried to ignore it, assuming it would stop soon but then another day went by, and another and another and she buried her face in her pillow, muffling her groan

-That´s it

She gets up from her bed, grabs her keys out of the bowl near the door, shoving her feet into a pair of slippers and headed towards the noisy apartment, the music can be heard through the door

-What an idiot! Why has no one complained about her until now?

She knocked loudly on the door and of course, with the music still blaring the neighbor couldn't hear, she knocked and knocked on the door and nothing, she was about to give up when the door opened and Soojin immediately felt her face redden, her neighbor was wearing a pair of black sweatpants and a tight white tank top that enhanced her s

-Hello

Her tone is soft, and a little bit confused

-Hey I´m your upstairs neighbour I just came down here to tell you to turn down your music

-Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t realise you’d be able to hear it

The neighbor looked at her in alarm and Soojin found herself smiling slightly, shaking her head

-It's fine, don't worry about it

- It's not fine, the neighbor next door has moved and the other is traveling so I thought it wouldn't bother anyone, I'm sorry about that

The neighbor bowed and Soojin smiled at her

-Don't worry about it Miss...

-Yeh Shuhua

-My name is Seo Soojin

-I'm sorry again Soojin ssi, I put music on for inspiration

-Heavy metal for inspiration?

Soojin's brows knit together in confusion

-I'm a book illustrator, I'm illustrating a horror anthology graphic novel, hence the heavy metal

-That sounds cool

The neighbor smiles at her

-I just made tea, would you like a drink? I could show you some of my work

Soojin looks at her cherry pajamas
