Your affections had been irrevocably captured by Sae, your boyfriend of one year. Yet you couldn't ignore the troubling reality that his love bordered on possessiveness, his jealousy flaring at even the slightest provocation. No matter how trivial the transgression - a fleeting glance, an innocuous interaction - Sae would waste no time in asserting his claim, pulling you flush against him as if to ward off any perceived threats.
As you strolled together through the park, a young boy, no more than 12 years old, approached you. A shy smile graced his features as he offered you a bouquet of delicate flowers, a simple, innocent gesture of admiration. But the moment you turned to gauge Sae's reaction, your heart sank. His features had hardened, a menacing glare directed at the unsuspecting child.
"Hey, kid, beat it," Sae snapped, his tone dripping with venom. Visibly frightened, the boy scurried away.
