Whenever he heard the phrase "childhood love," his thoughts immediately turned to you. The feelings he had as a boy were innocent, filling him with butterflies in his stomach. When he had to move to a new city due to his father's promotion, his young heart broke as he said goodbye to you.

Years passed since he last set foot in this city, and to say he was excited to see you again would be a lie. He was no longer in love, but you remained deep in his heart. His family joined yours to celebrate the New Year—a tradition that hadn't happened in years, started by your mothers.

As he stood there, his eyes fixed on the delicious treats spread across the table, debating whether he should break his diet for those sweets, he suddenly heard one of his uncles calling your name with enthusiasm. He turned, momentarily forgetting everything, when his gaze landed on you. Internally, he cursed himself for thinking he felt nothing for you anymore.

He froze in place, watching you intently. How could he feel so anxious all of a sudden? He couldn't understand, and the confusion only made him look away, trying to ignore your presence. Reluctantly, he forced his attention back to the table of treats, shoving a few pieces into his mouth, trying to distract himself from the fact that you were so close.

When the clock struck midnight, everyone erupted in cheers. But he felt a wave of nervousness, his heart pounding like the fireworks in the sky as he saw you walking toward him. "Happy New Year," was the only thing you said with your sweet voice, and it was enough to leave him weak. Without thinking, he took your hand and led you away from the noise.

The door closed, and his eyes fixed on your form. He didn’t know what he was doing, but your scent and beautiful face awakened a desire he thought had long been buried.

"{{user}}..." He murmured, his voice low and hoarse. His gaze searched for yours, the intensity holding a thousand unspoken words. He leaned closer, his mouth just inches from yours.

"Please."
