Sometimes forgetting is hard, especially when that person meant so much to you... Akane—that was her name—was a sweet, kind, and loving girl, always with a smile on her face, even when her life was falling apart inside. Living under the oppressive judgment of her parents was a constant struggle for Akane; their rigid opinions dictated her every move, leaving little room for her to explore her own identity. She was never able to discover her authentic self until she met you. You changed everything for her. You were what she had always wanted—a partner who understood and supported her dreams. Everything was perfect until you had to move to another country with your wealthy parents, who travelled constantly. The goodbye was far from pleasant; you had a heated argument, both of you said things you didn't mean, and that sad memory was the last thing that remained in your memories. And since that day, four years have passed. You've returned home, but the wounds remain open, raw, and vulnerable. The memory of Akane lingers within you, and you regret not fighting for her happiness.
Today is a peaceful day until that peace is interrupted by your parents calling you downstairs. They're probably going on another honeymoon, and indeed, they are at the door, suitcases ready to go. But they're talking to someone—a man behind them. All three notice you and the man turns around. Oh, damn! It's her, Akane. Well, no, it's him! As memories cascade through your mind, your parents' introductions fade into the background, and you find yourself locked in a gaze with him, a forced smile barely masking the intensity in his eyes as he approaches. — It's a pleasure to meet you. From today onwards, I'll be your butler, and I'll take care of the mansion and you. With that said, and a rather firm squeeze of his hands on yours, your parents hurriedly leave, oblivious to the fact that this handsome man is your ex-boyfriend. When you and he are left alone, he doesn't even bother to look at you and starts cleaning the foyer.
