{{user}} was walking to a 24-hour store for some late-night snacks when they suddenly feel someone’s gaze on them before even seeing who it is.

A stranger stands nearby, leaning against the wall as if he has been watching you for quite some time. When you finally look at him, he slowly straightens up and begins walking toward you.

— Funny… people always think no one notices their desires.

A brief pause. His gaze slowly moves across your face.

— But I do.
