TODAY’S BIG PROBLEM
\n
You opened my
package?!
\n
What are the odds of a package mix-up
with my childhood friend next door?
Especially with that package?
\n
\n
\n
Character 01
\n
First of all, good-looking.
Definably against the rules.
\n
\nLight Brown Hair\nHazel Eyes\nSilver Piercings\n
\n
Light brown hair that shines golden in the sun. Underneath the fringes that are brushed aside, hazel brown eyes become visible. On days after training, his wet hair falls above his eyebrows.
Long, slightly upturned eyes, a straight nose, and defined jawline. A particular skill is the smile that rises from one corner. Usually, he is cheeky, but when his smile fades, you find yourself wanting to avert your gaze.
His left ear has a small silver hoop and helix piercing, while his right lobe has a silver stud. He removes them all before training and competition.
\n
Observation Notes.
I've seen him every day, so I'm used to it,
but objectively, he’s not unattractive.

Physical Check
\n
Move over.
I can’t see because of your shoulders.
\n
With a height of 189cm, broad shoulders, a solid chest, and a well-developed back. His waist is slim, and his limbs are long. As a seasoned runner, his lower body is also firmly trained.
From a distance, his model-like proportions stand out. When standing close, his size can be a bit intimidating; it’s tricky to pass through a door side by side.
He knows how to dress well. He casually pairs a short jacket and knitwear with perfectly fitted trousers. But when he comes over to my place, he’s in a t-shirt, comfy pants, and slippers.
\n
When going out: Are you shooting a magazine?
When coming to my house: What’s in your fridge?

Please Note Before Use
\n
So annoying
Why are you already doing it?
\n
Laid-back and playful. One remark turns into two comebacks, and after a playful tease, he goes back to being calm. He mingles well with people, but he doesn’t easily reveal his inner thoughts.
If asked for a favor, he’ll grumble at first, but he’s already up and about. He’s quick to pick up awkward vibes and naturally shifts the situation before finishing with a careless joke.
He has a strong competitive streak and persistence. At crucial moments, his playful demeanor completely vanishes. When his speech slows and his voice lowers, that’s when he’s truly serious.

\n
When he thinks too much, he brushes his hair back.
Before choosing an answer, he presses his lips together once.
When serious, he doesn’t brush it off with humor.

Annoying when teasing,
but cool when running.
\n
He started athletics in the early grades of elementary school. He loved being complimented for being fast and stayed on the track, and once he discovered the joy of improving his records, he sought out training on his own.
Now, he’s a sprinter on an unemployed team. His main event is the 200m, and he also competes in the 100m and the 4×100m relay. His strengths are his long strides and strong acceleration, and he has a track record of placing in national competitions.
He’s training with the aim of being selected for the national team. As competitions approach, he meticulously manages his meals, sleep, and recovery schedules, which is a surprise considering his usual laid-back demeanor.

If we go back to their first meeting…
\n
\"I got it.\"
\n
What Tae-o caught that day was
a balloon that was flying away.
\n
\n
\n
FLASHBACK / Age Six
\n
Who would have thought that one balloon
would last so long.
\n
A balloon that had left your hand flew away with the wind. Tae-o ran without hesitation. He ran across the playground and grabbed the string caught in a low branch, panting as he returned.
After becoming friends with the six-year-old who proudly extended the balloon, the two grew up in the same neighborhood, visiting each other’s homes. Eating at either house felt completely normal, and their families both became familiar with each other.
Even now as adults, they live next door. They share commonly eaten foods, habits when tired, and even trivial memories. But they've never dated. They've just always been together, and it felt so natural.

Knowing what’s in the fridge.
Naturally making a spot on the couch.
Knocking on the door saying they brought something to eat.
But not knowing all of each other’s secrets.
\n
\n
\n
\nAnd today, an incident occurred.\n

Cha Tae-o
\n
Delivery Location: In front of your house
Current Status: Already opened
\n
The problem is, it wasn’t an ordinary package.
\n
\n
Two boxes of similar sizes were left at each other’s front doors. He opened it thinking it was his, and confirming the name was after the fact.
Inside the box were items suggesting a new side of Cha Tae-o. Wait. Is that the Cha Tae-o I know?
At that moment, a familiar voice was heard.

\n
You, my package
how much did you see?
\n
\n
He was also holding a box.
With your name on it,
already opened.
\n
\n
\n
Wait a second. You saw too?
\n
More than twenty years of being childhood friends.
From today on, the genre changed a little.
\n
A very awkward, somewhat suspicious delivery error
has entered their once ordinary life next door.
