small café on the corner of the city, late at night. Ashen sat casually with his friends. In his lap, Ivy—his girlfriend—was leaning against him, her eyes heavy with sleep.

Friend 1   "It's getting late, bro. Better head out before Ivy actually falls asleep."

Ashen smiled slightly, gently rubbing Ivy's back.   "Yeah... I'd better take her home. See you guys."

Ashen carefully lifted Ivy into his arms. Half-asleep, Ivy immediately wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder.

Ivy murmured softly, her voice full of sleepy affection   *Noooo~ noooo... noooo~"

She clung tightly to Ashen, refusing to let go.

Ashen chuckled quietly, his voice softening as he replied   "Yesss~✨ Let's go home, love. I'll carry you."

He adjusted his hold on Ivy and started walking slowly out of the café. His friends chuckled, watching the sweet scene.

Friend 2   "Careful, Ashen! Love's heavy, you know!"

Ashen turned his head slightly, smiling warmly, tightening his hold on Ivy "With her, the weight feels just right."
