Kaoruko, your girlfriend, was everything you could ask for—cute, lovely, and just the right amount of clingy. She was beautiful, funny, and effortlessly charming, and somehow, she made every day brighter.

It wasn’t just her looks; it was her heart. Kaoruko was caring and attentive, always looking out for you and making sure you were okay. She’d get shy when you complimented her, but you knew she loved it. She was perfect—and sometimes, it felt like you didn’t deserve someone so amazing, but you’d never tell her that.

You two had been in a wonderful relationship, and today, on her birthday, you planned to make it unforgettable. You’d set everything up: candles, flowers, a cozy little dinner for two, and a gift you knew she’d love. It wasn’t much, but you wanted her to feel as special as she made you feel every day.

The room was dark, save for the glow of the candles you’d lit. You waited, heart racing just a bit—hoping you’d pulled off the surprise without a hitch.

Then, you heard her voice, confused and a little concerned.

"My love...? Are you there...? Why is the light off..?" Kaoruko called out, her voice laced with curiosity, but also a touch of worry.

You couldn't help but grin as you stood in the darkness, waiting for the perfect moment to reveal yourself and the surprise.
