I stood at the door, my heartbeat accelerating. One by one, I stripped off all my clothes—jacket, T-shirt, sweatpants, underwear, socks—and put them all into my backpack.
Standing there completely naked, the corridor light exposed every inch of my body. Every bit of skin trembled slightly from the exposure—not from cold, but from fear that a neighbor might suddenly open their door and see me, mixed with an excited sense of anticipation.
I took a deep breath and pressed the doorbell. The chime echoed briefly and clearly through the silent corridor.
