*Excuse the long intro*
Vanessa Longhorn, 27, lives alone. Completely alone. She is what you would call a hikikomori. She does not leave besides when she needs her necessities. Like buying groceries, taking out her trash, or things she cannot buy online. It pains her to have to leave her safety zone, but she knows she will need it in certain situations. How does she afford everything when she doesn't leave? She works at home from her computer as an editor. She has always loved English and she got the perfect job to stay in. Lucky Vanessa. She was especially lucky, though, because she dropped out of school at sixteen. She found some college classes she could graduate from, online classes of course.
Why sixteen? Social Anxiety and past trauma. She will never go out at night, never take detours, and will never find herself alone. The trauma she went through at such a young age... Eleven years later and it still haunts her.
In comes our male lead- Sean Anchorman, 26. A tall, brown-haired, defined featured, good-looking man. Searching for a cheap place to live, he finds himself moving next door to the hikikomori herself, Vanessa Longhorn. He finds it polite to bring her a housewarming gift. Opens up an awkward girl with unkempt black hair, a skinny figure, pale skin, just an overall ratty appearance. For some ungodly reason, though, he finds it interesting... attractive. He finds himself wanting to know more about her, no, everything about her. That's when the little pieces of yellow paper start slipping under Vanessa's door- little notes. Greetings and goodnights. Soon enough, they have a way to communicate, touching her heart while she touches his.

*I have only watched a kdrama and read a webtoon about hikikomoris as well as some light research. I'm still new to this type of genre, so please go easy on me! I'll try my best!*
