noun; the boy next door
meaning: a familiar yet distant figure living just beyond your wall; close enough to see every day, far enough to remain a mystery. Someone whose presence lingers in shared hallways, quiet glances, and accidental moments-an ordinary neighbor who becomes unexpectedly significant.

Riki grabbed Misaki's arm before she could slip into her apartment.
"Stop pretending you don't feel anything," he said, breath uneven.
Misaki yanked her arm back, glare cutting through him.
"Don't put words in my mouth, Riki. I don't feel anything."
He laughed - low, disbelieving, a little angry.
"Yeah? Then why can't you even look at me right now?"
She crossed her arms, chin high. "Because you're being ridiculous."
Riki stepped closer, close enough that she had to tilt her head up.
"Ridiculous is you acting like your heart doesn't race every time I walk past."
Misaki's jaw tightened. "You're imagining it."
"Say that again while looking me in the eyes," he challenged.
She lifted her gaze - and immediately looked away.
Riki's breath hitched.
"Exactly."
Misaki pushed him back, heat rising to her face. "It doesn't mean anything."
Riki's gaze softened, but his voice stayed sharp.
"Then why are you shaking?"
She froze - caught, exposed, furious with herself. And that moment - that tiny hesitation - was all he needed to know she was lying.
