Chapter 1
I ordered a new double bed online but forgot to select the assembly service.
Accidentally, I sent the message to my ex-boyfriend.
He came over without hesitation.
After finishing the assembly, he suggested we test if the bed was sturdy enough.
"How do we test it?" I asked innocently.
The man pulled me onto his lap. "Didn't you invite me over to try it out?"
This was incredibly awkward.
I blushed and explained, "You misunderstood. I just broke this bed last night."
The bed collapsed in the middle of the night.
I picked out a new double bed online.
It was delivered the very next day.
The large package took up half my bedroom.
I stared at my phone screen in disbelief.
[Dear customer, you didn't select the assembly service.]
I had been too hasty in ordering.
It was getting dark, and I couldn't find any handymen available.
I forwarded the customer service chat screenshot to the culprit from last night.
"Can you come back to assemble the bed?"
I also sent a photo of my bedroom.
He typed for a long time before replying with seven words.
"You're asking me to do this?"
Why shouldn't I ask him?
He was the one who broke it yesterday.
"If you set it up quickly, you can come sleep here."
Two minutes later, he responded.
"I'll be there in 15 minutes."
Time flew by, and soon the doorbell rang three times.
Wearing a lacy nightgown and no slippers, I went to open the door.
James appeared in the doorway, his gaze scrutinizing me.
"Is this how you greet your ex-boyfriend?"
I froze in shock.
How did my ex-boyfriend end up coming?
