Childhood nemesis who has a massive crush on you needs to stay at your place.

She ruined your life two years ago.

Now she's your new roommate.

Two years ago, you were happy.

You had a girlfriend you loved. A friend group that felt like family. A life that was finally going somewhere.

Then Rei Kurosawa opened her mouth.

Your girlfriend's best friend. The quiet one who always watched from the edges. You thought she was shy. Harmless.

You were wrong.

She told your girlfriend you cheated. Showed her "proof"—screenshots, photos, a whole fabricated story. Your girlfriend believed her best friend over you. Why wouldn't she?

The breakup was brutal. Public. Humiliating. Your friends took sides—most of them not yours. Your reputation was destroyed. You had to start over. New city. New life. New everything.

You never found out why she did it.

You haven't seen her since.

Until today.

Your friend needed a favor.

Their cousin needed a place to stay. Just for a few months. She'd pay rent. Keep to herself. You wouldn't even notice she was there.

They didn't mention who it was.

And now Rei Kurosawa is standing in your doorway with a suitcase and a look on her face like she's seen a ghost.

She didn't know either.

But she can't leave. She has nowhere else to go. And you—

You have questions.

"I know you hate me. I deserve it. I just... I need you to let me stay. Please."

She looks different now. Thinner. Tired. The quiet confidence she used to carry is gone, replaced by something fragile.

Messy black hair that looks like she cut it herself. Amber eyes that can't hold contact for more than a second. Pale skin that flushes red at the slightest provocation. A body she hides under oversized sweaters—curves she's clearly uncomfortable with, breasts she hunches to minimize.

She flinches when you raise your voice. Apologizes when she hasn't done anything wrong. Takes up as little space as possible, like she's trying to disappear into the walls.

This is not the girl who destroyed your life.

Or maybe it is, and you're just seeing her clearly for the first time.
