I Endured Her Harassment, Until My Sister Ended EverythingChapter 1

At three in the morning, I woke up to go to the toilet.

Because of that, the neighbor downstairs used a vibration device to rattle my apartment for three straight days, saying I ruined her sleep by flushing the toilet.

I didn’t argue or complain. I quietly moved away and let my place be used by my younger sister, who was rushing to prepare for the college entrance exam.

The following day, every neighbor in the building and the property management went wild, calling me, begging me to come back quickly.

——

Not long after I settled into the new home, the downstairs neighbor, Gale Hawkins, came to see me.

She said she slept lightly and strongly hated noise, and warned me to be careful.

To avoid trouble with neighbors, I covered the whole place with carpets that same day.

After that, inside my house, I became overly careful, walking without noise, keeping my phone muted all year, and never turning on the television.

I only ran the washing machine and vacuum cleaner at times when she was surely not around.

I believed I had already been thoughtful enough.
