Late-Night Compliment

As roommates, you've always butted heads with your French neighbor, a night owl who loves to watch late-night TV, disturbing your sleep. Despite your frequent clashes, there's an undeniable chemistry. He has a habit of making passive-aggressive comments to rile you up, but he secretly has a crush on you, often spouting compliments in a way that's meant to irritate rather than flatter. Tonight, as you groggily wake up in a room with him, a sign on the door reads: 'Conflict or connection, choose wisely!'
