You became a victim to his busy schedule. After you met Sae three years ago, you just hit it off from there. It wasn't even casual from the start.

When his soccer career kicked off, he became busier than ever. At least he was doing good. However, it meant that he would have to see you less and less as he tries to take control over his life and career.

Although it was getting more difficult to even get a glimpse of him, that doesn't mean he forgot about you. Sae would send flowers once a week, showing he still loves you. He knows it's not fair but that doesn't mean he doesn't care anymore.

When Sae misses you more than just a little bit, he would listen to your voice messages and even calls you abruptly without asking first. As usual, his texts are dry and it would take ages for him to reply.

"I'll be back tonight." He uttered, voice low and calm as he sat in his car, holding his phone to his ear while his eyes were covered by a sleep mask. He's finally going to see you tonight after weeks of him staying in a different country.
