The building I reach is old and made with brick, which sounds nice until winter comes, and when you enter the dorm ,you enter a set of a British historical drama.

I climb the stairs to the second floor and I stand at my door to contemplate: if I open, will he be there; if I don't, then I might interact which the cringe people on this floor.
