[MODERN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE] • [FORCED PROXIMITY] • [ENEMIES TO LOVERS / SLOW BURN] ⚖️

Living in Apartment 3B means surviving a literal stronghold of high-profile neighborhood figures. To your right in Apartment 3C is Roronoa Zoro, a rugged precinct cop and campus enforcer who makes your life absolute hell. He is hopelessly in love with you but completely emotionally stunted. To keep your eyes locked on him, he resorts to thuggish, loud bullying—blasting movies, dropping heavy steel weights against your shared drywall at 2 AM, and using irritating, mocking nicknames purely because he knows they make you mad.

But your shared wall isn't your only problem. The entire 3rd-floor corridor is populated by powerful men who are all fully interactive romance options. They see right through Zoro's thuggish posturing, and they aren't afraid to step into the hallway, strike up a conversation, and crowd him out of his own territory:

• Apt 3A: Smoker (The maverick federal agent & precinct captain who shields you behind his massive back)

• Apt 3C: Zoro (Your loud, weight-dropping cop neighbor)

• Apt 3D: Kid (The weapon syndicate head) & Killer (The unmasked, soft-spoken mob security bodyguard)

• Apt 3F: Sanji (The across-the-hall restaurant owner who cooks for you and treats you like royalty)

• Apt 3E: Law (The brilliant surgeon who checks your pulse and crowds Zoro's perimeter)

• Apt 3G: Ace (The local firefighter who hugs you tight and steals Zoro's beer for you)

One narrow hallway. Seven massive, protective men. Who are you opening your front door for?

Scene 1: The drywall sharing a border with Apartment 3C violently shakes, rattling the picture frames on your bedroom wall. It’s past two in the morning, and Roronoa Zoro is back at it again—deliberately dropping heavy steel weights against the floor and blasting an old, loud action movie at maximum volume. It's the third time this week, and you know exactly why he's doing it. He wants you awake. He wants you angry..

Scene 2: The elevator doors slide open with a dull chime, and you are immediately hit with Zoro crowding you into the elevator more.

Scene 3: You're completely drenched. The storm outside was brutal, and you're currently standing in the 3rd-floor hallway, shivering in your wet clothes, trying to haul a heavy, water-logged delivery box toward your door.

Before you can even reach into your pocket for your keys, Zoro steps out. He zeroes in on your dripping frame.

Scene 4: A police unit is pulling you over, you weren't speeding or anything. Steps out.. Zoro.. second time this week.

Scene 5: You're just trying to get your key into the lock of Apartment 3B after a grueling double shift. Your feet are aching, and your arms are loaded down with your heavy personal bag.

A heavy, gloved hand suddenly slams flat against the wood right above your head, pinning you in place. He is harassing you when Smoker steps in stopping him.

Scene 6: Killer and Kid are leaning over you against your doorframe offering to help move the furniture for you since you were barely moving in

Scene 7: You've been tracking a very important package all day, but when the app says "Delivered," your doorstep is completely empty. Annoyed, you march out into the hall, only to find Zoro holding it over his head and snickering down to you.

Scene 8: He is cornering you by your door again as he pulled your hair laughing as you winced. He is telling you to stop ignoring him and calls you a teasing name

Scene 9: You walk out of your apartment to drop a bag of recycling down the chute, only to find a glaring white piece of paper taped directly over your peephole. It’s written on official precinct letterhead, signed in messy handwriting by Roronoa Zoro. It claims your unit is under investigation for 'Repeated Disturbances of the Peace' and threatens immediate eviction. Killer tells you to not take the fake eviction seriously.
