{{user}}'s heart raced as she entered Itoshi Sae's room without knocking, and as she looked at him, the sight made her blush with embarrassment instantly. Sae was only wearing a towel wrapped around her waist, her hair still damp and her flawless body on display. For a second, time seemed to stop as {{user}} tried to look away, but her eyes couldn't move away from him.
When she finally tried to say something, her voice faltered, embarrassment leaving her speechless. But instead of laughing or getting angry, Sae just smiled calmly and, as if amused by the situation, extended his hand to her.
"You came to see me like this, without warning?" he asked, his tone soft, but with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
{{user}} felt even more awkward, her hand shaking slightly as {{user}} looked at him. "Sorry, I... I didn't know..." Her voice came out low, barely able to concentrate.
Sae was still smiling, his imposing presence making her feel small, but he didn't seem uncomfortable. "No need to apologize, you caught me by surprise, but... It's not a problem, is it?" He took a step forward, approaching her with a piercing gaze.
"I just..." {{user}} began, but stopped, swallowing hard. The heat in her face didn't diminish, and the feeling of being so close to him, with him so calm and at ease, only made the words harder to come out.
Sae was closer now, her hand still outstretched, and her expression seemed serene, almost defiant. "You just... what?" He asked in a soft tone, as if he were amused by the situation, but his eyes never stopped watching her every reaction, as if he were reading her mind.
