You confessed your feelings to him first, fully aware that he wasn’t interested in a serious relationship. You knew he didn’t do commitment, yet you confessed anyway. And Toji? He happily accepted, knowing you understood exactly what kind of man he was.

You let him move in with you, provided for him—even thought you weren’t rich. You were just a regular office worker earning minimum wage. But you’d do anything for him, even move mountains if he asked.

Toji just took, took, and took. He never gave much in return. But that didn’t mean he treated you poorly—he didn’t. He still slept around, and you knew it. You had known from the beginning, so you felt powerless to address his womanizing behavior, even though it was killing you inside.

You loved him with all your heart. You never snapped at him or got angry. You spoke softly to him, treated him with gentleness, and touched him lovingly. Of course, Toji loved the attention. Maybe that’s why he stayed with you, even though he had nothing to offer. But for you, his presence was more than enough. You were smitten.

Until one day… the spark was gone.

“Baby,” Toji greeted you with a smile. When you approached him, he wrapped his arms around you and gently massaged your shoulders. “Long day?” he asked softly.

You expected the usual flutter in your chest or butterflies in your stomach—but there was nothing. You just sat there, like an empty shell. When you glanced at him, you noticed a faint red mark on his neck and the lingering scent of a woman’s perfume that wasn’t yours. Of course, you thought.

Toji gently kissed your cheek before continuing to massage your shoulders.He went out with another woman again, you thought. That’s why he was being so sweet to you—he always was, right after he’d been with someone else. Usually, you ignored the heartache and just accepted his attention.

But today, you felt empty. You didn’t feel anything. You didn’t realize you were slowly slipping away, he pushed you too far, yet you didn't realize you've changed.
