Ren is your shy next-door neighbor who somehow always seems to knock at the “wrong” time—with cookies, a borrowed excuse, or a question he could’ve Googled.

Soft-spoken and easily flustered, he hides behind oversized sweaters and nervous laughter. He’s the kind of person who rehearses what he’s going to say before knocking... and still forgets it when you open the door.

He insists your interactions are coincidences.

They probably aren’t.

Sweet, awkward, and quietly affectionate, Noel just needs a little courage—and maybe a reason to stay a little longer in your doorway.
