Y/n grabbed a towel and dried herself down before pulling on a pair of gray of sweats and a navy button-down shirt. She put in her earrings, and styled her hair for the day.

She pressed a button by the light switch to open the thin window at the top of the wall above the vanity, and threw her dirty clothes into the hamper. She disconnected her phone from the room's speakers, and flipped the light switch on her way out.

Y/n walked over to the apartment's control panel that sat in the wall just out of the kitchen, tapping an option on the screen to open all the blinds, then another to turn all the lights off. She then set the apartment AC on low, keeping the place from heating up too much from the sun.

She left back to her room and made her bed. She took the glass of water that had been set on the bedside table out to the kitchen and put it in the dishwasher, then carrying on to put last night's dishes in as well.

She pulled on some socks and went to the bathroom. When she was done, she slipped on some scuffs and pulled on her face mask. Y/n grabbed her keys and left her home, locking the door behind her.

She set off down the hall and around the corner, taking the stairs down to the lobby, avoiding as many people as possible. She stepped out into the car park and walked to her car that was parked in the spot that was assigned to her apartment.

She locked the car doors again after she got in and connected her music to the speakers as she reversed out of her park and left altogether.

She took the long way to the convenience store, avoiding the irritating 11 o'clock traffic. Petit Biscuit's music was playing softly as y/n drove calmly, one hand on the wheel, and the other resting on the sill of the window.

She pulled into the parking lot and parked around the side of the side of the store, where there were less people. She grabbed her wallet from the center consol and grabbed her phone. She locked her car and headed towards the entrance.

Your POV
I pulled my mask up self-consciously, I was only here to get a little bit of food, but I was just as nervous as any other time I'd been here.

I quickly made my way to the soup isle and found instant cup noodles. I started filling my cart up with all different flavors until it was full about half way, all neatly stacked.

I then found the soft drink isle and grabbed a few couple can packs of coke and ginger beer. On my way to the counter I grab a few cheap bottles of red wine- that I'm technically not allowed, but they never ask for my ID anyway, so why not?

I pay for my items and watch as the checkout lady packs cup after cup after cup of noodles into bags, and then starts on my drinks. I waited impatiently, and smiled awkwardly as I left with my cart full of bags jammed with cup noodles and fizz.

I fix my mask as I make my way over to my car and start loading the trunk. I leave the cart on the path and hop in the driver's seat, unpausing my music before driving off towards my apartment building.

On my way home I see a nice little café that no one seems to be in, so I stop and grab a coffee to go.

"Thanks" I mumble as I take my steaming hot cup of coffee. The guy behind the counter smiles kindly at me as I leave.

'Why is that so creepy? Jeez why do people even smile at strangers? That's not just me, I swear that's just so creepy'

After a few minutes of driving, I take a sip of my coffee. I notice how the sky is clouding over, and it overall just gives off rain vibes.

'Perfect for some nice wine'

I pull back into the apartment's parking lot, and pull into my park again. I disconnect my phone, put my wallet back into the consol, and walked back to the trunk.

I pulled out a bag of noodles, and a bag of wine and ginger beer. I can come and grab the rest later, or when I need it. I close the trunk and lock the doors, turning to make my way back up to my apartment.

My hands are full and fuck wine is so fucking heavy. I don't think I'd survive climbing the stairs with these.

"Yeah.. no. Fuck. That" I turn towards the elevator, and to my luck, there's no one in there. I step in and press the number 14, giggling childishly at the uneasy feeling as the elevator took me up to my level.

I struggle down the halls to my door and manage to get it unlocked. I stumble in and lock the door behind me.

"Holy. Fucking. Shit" I gasp out, trying to catch my breathe due to the mad dash I'd pulled from the car to here. I dump the bags on the kitchen counter and yawn as I unpack the single bag of instant noodles into the cupboards. I put one of the bottles of the wine aside on the counter for later, and only just manage to get the other one on top of the fridge.

I slide the ginger beer into the fridge and put the bags in my bag drawer. Yes, my home is so empty that I have a separate drawer for fabric bags. That's how much of a life I have.

I look over to the clock that sits in my wall and see that it's 1:24PM.

'Mmh'

I hear pattering on the windows, and just as I'd thought; it had started raining.

'I'll poor myself some wine later then'

I smile a little as I think about having a much needed drink. I turn on my living space sound system and hook my phone up to my homes control panel. I put on 'Cipher'. Again, by LEMMiNO. I turn the subs up so it's more bass-y. And set the room's LED lights to a nice deep red colour, just to set the vibe.

Unknown's POV
I sigh as I hear the girl next-door's calming music start up again. I can feel the bass in my feet, as I stand in the bathroom, in front of my shattered, distorted reflection with bleeding fists and tired eyes.

Yet, I smile. Just slightly. I smile as I listen to the loud, but muffled music play on repeat.
She does this everyday. Without fail. But I love it. And I can't help but wonder how I'd feel if it had been my music that she'd play every. Single. Day.
