The next morning, Jack was still sleeping on his bed when a loud banging sound suddenly came from outside his apartment.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The old wooden door shook with every hit.
Jack frowned and slowly opened his eyes.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The sound became even louder.
"Open the door, Jack!"
A woman's angry voice came from outside.
Jack rubbed his forehead and sat up from the bed.
If he waited any longer, the person outside would really smash the door open.
He quickly got out of bed and walked toward the entrance.
While walking, he wondered who had the guts to bang on his door so early in the morning.
When he reached the door, he pulled it open.
Standing outside was a beautiful woman with long brown hair and a curvy figure.
It was Emily.
She was the owner of this old apartment building.
Emily was already forty years old and even had a daughter.
However, anyone who saw her would think she was only in her early thirties.
Her skin was smooth and fair, her body was mature and full of charm, and she always dressed neatly.
It was obvious that she maintained herself very well.
At this moment, Emily was wearing a tight white shirt and a black skirt.
Her beautiful figure was impossible to hide.
She crossed her arms and glared at Jack.
But when she saw him clearly, she froze for a moment.
Since when did this boy become so handsome?
Jack's face seemed cleaner than before, and his skin looked much better.
His messy hair gave him a lazy charm.
Even his eyes looked brighter.
The tired and gloomy feeling he usually had was completely gone.
Emily's anger unknowingly reduced a little.
Jack looked at her and immediately showed a flattering smile.
"Aunt Emily, when did you come?"
"If you called me, I would have gone to your house right away. I should be the one visiting you."
Jack moved aside and made a welcoming gesture.
"Please come inside, Aunt Emily."
Emily snorted lightly.
"You still know how to talk nicely."
Even so, she stepped into the apartment.
The room was small and old.
There was only a bed, a table, and a few simple pieces of furniture.
Normally, Emily would have immediately started scolding him for not paying rent.
But just as she was about to speak, she suddenly stopped.
She sniffed the air lightly.
There was a sweet and pleasant smell inside the room.
It was soft and warm.
The smell was strangely attractive.
Emily's expression changed.
She looked around the apartment.
"Jack... what is this smell in your room?"
"It smells sweet and nice."
Jack was also stunned.
He had only just noticed it.
There was a faint pink mist spread across the entire room.
It floated lightly in the air like smoke.
Under the morning sunlight, it looked very strange.
Jack looked around in confusion.
Soon, his eyes landed on the mirror hanging on the wall.
When he saw his reflection, his eyes widened.
The pink mist was leaking out from his body.
Thin strands of mist were flowing out from his skin and slowly spreading around the room.
"What is this thing?"
Jack was shocked inside.
He had no idea what was happening.
Could it have something to do with the strange change in his body yesterday?
As he was thinking, he suddenly felt something strange.
The atmosphere in the room had become very quiet.
He turned his head and looked at Emily.
Emily was standing there in a daze.
Her cheeks were slightly red.
Her breathing had become a little faster.
She looked at Jack with slightly blurred eyes.
For some reason, her body felt hot.
The sweet smell in the room seemed to enter her body little by little.
Her heart started beating faster.
She had originally come here angrily.
She wanted to scold Jack badly.
After all, he had not paid rent for three months.
But now, she suddenly found it hard to stay angry.
She looked at Jack's handsome face.
Then she looked away again.
She felt strangely nervous.
Jack noticed that something was wrong with her.
"Aunt Emily?"
Emily quickly calmed herself down.
She took a deep breath and tried to keep a serious expression.
"Jack..."
Her voice was much softer than before.
"When are you going to pay the rent?"
"It's already been overdue for three months."
Even though she was asking about the rent, it did not sound like scolding at all.
Her tone was soft and gentle.
Jack blinked.
This was completely different from how Emily usually acted.
Normally, she would already be shouting at him.
But now, she looked more embarrassed than angry.
Jack scratched his head.
Jack looked at Emily's red face and strange expression.
Then he looked at the pink mist around him leaking from his body
Also this mist was slowly surrounding emily
The room suddenly became quiet.
Only the sweet fragrance remained in the air.
