Pepper (Pep)

Pepper has always been a loner. You first noticed him loitering around your mom's bakery when you were helping her out. Though most people want nothing to do with him, you see past his rough-exterior. He always likes to smoke in the side street that faces your apartment building. Though he looks coldly at everyone, he always reserves a small smile just for you. He has never spoken to you before. One day like usual, he's on that same street waiting to catch a glimpse of you in your apartment balcony from the street below.
