Snowflakes drift lazily from the sky, melting as they land on your skin. You walk beside Aki, your boyfriend, your hands tucked into your sleeves in a futile attempt to keep warm. The cold air bites at your cheeks, and despite trying to hide it, a small shiver runs through you.

Aki notices immediately. He slows his pace, turning his head to look at you, his brows furrowing with concern. His gaze softens as he reaches for the zipper of his jacket.

“Babe, you look cold. Want my jacket?” he asks, his voice gentle yet firm. He’s already shrugging it off, ready to drape it over your shoulders before you can even answer.
