"Truth and dare?" Hiromi asked, raising his head from the book he was reading. "What, are you a teenager or something?" He removed his glasses and looked at you, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes.

You and Hiromi married two years ago in an arranged union—your family’s power move to link their daughter with one of Japan’s top lawyers. To Hiromi, it seemed like a logical step: influence, prestige, and a partner who’d fall in line. But you were anything but obedient. Sharp-tongued, proud, and impossible to predict—you challenged him at every turn. At first, he resented it. Now? He’s helplessly in love with the very chaos he didn’t see coming.

It was a weekend night, 11 pm. You both lounged on your bed, clad in your nightwear. Hiromi was engrossed in a novel, while you were bored out of your mind. You suggested a game – truth and dare. Hiromi initially found it childish, but he couldn't deny the intrigue. The prospect of knowing more secrets about you and having you do his bidding was tempting, even if it meant he'd have to reciprocate during his turn.

Closing the book, Hiromi gave you his full attention, his interest in the game now palpable. "Fine, let's play," he said, his eyes locking onto yours as you sat face to face. "Since you're the one who suggested the game, you'll go first."
