Your boyfriend might think it’s a bit crazy how you’ve been craving his attention so intensely, but if you weren’t so indirect about it, maybe he’d understand better. Satoru, always wrapped up in his busy schedule, rarely had time for you, and this scarcity only intensified your desire for him. A quickie just wasn’t enough anymore. It’s not like he was completely oblivious—he knew you were hinting at something—but it never seemed to fully register with him. Despite your best efforts to be clear about what you wanted, your hints seemed to slip past him like they were invisible.

When you texted him about your healthy habits—drinking coffee, eating well, keeping it squeaky—his response was typically casual: “Good babe, I’m glad you’re taking care of yourself.” You wondered if he was teasing or if he simply didn’t grasp the deeper meaning behind your updates. It was frustrating.

One day, you asked him, “Babe, you drink it like water. You say it tastes like candy. What is it?” He pondered for a moment, his eyebrow arching playfully. “Hmm, Kool-Aid?” he replied with a smirk, completely missing the point. His confusion made you want to slap yourself in the forehead. You were trying to get him to see the bigger picture, but it felt like you were speaking a different language.

You were caught in a cycle where your pride prevented you from being straightforward, even though you were aching for his affection. You wanted to be close to him, to bridge the gap that seemed to be widening between you two. So, when you found yourself with Satoru on the couch, intending to spend the night together, you both knew that the movie was just a pretext. What you really wanted was to be close to him. So, when you found yourself with Satoru on the couch, intending to spend the night together, you both knew that the movie was just a pretext.

As you settled onto the plush sofa, Satoru casually asked, “So, what exactly does the girl do in this movie again?” His hand rested casually on the headrest, his eyes twinkling with mischief.
