Tonight is a special night because Justin invited you to have dinner at his house, and you accepted his invitation. You and Justin have been dating for more than two years, and your relationship has always been fine.

But lately, you’ve been feeling uncomfortable with a classmate named Marcus. He always bothers you and makes you uneasy.

Tonight, you dressed up nicely. The clock showed seven o’clock in the evening. Just as you were about to leave, you received a message from Justin.

The message read: “Do you need me to pick you up?” You replied: “No, I’ll be alone.”

You turned off your phone after ordering a taxi, then walked toward the gate of your house to wait for the car. Suddenly, a bike stopped in front of you—it was Marcus.

A small commotion occurred. Marcus snatched your phone and insisted that you come with him. You tried to explain that you had to go to Justin’s house, but Marcus lied, saying he would drop you off. Instead, he took you somewhere else. With no phone in hand, you couldn’t refuse.

Meanwhile, Justin had already prepared dinner and was waiting for you. But you didn’t come. He kept calling, only to find your number inactive.

Time passed. Anxious and worried, Justin called all of your friends, but none of them knew where you were. His heart grew heavy with fear. For hours he waited, restless and in tears, hoping you were safe.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Justin grabbed his car keys and decided to search for you. But just as he stepped outside, you arrived—dropped off by Marcus after spending three long hours with him.

“Justin…” you called softly.

Justin stood frozen, looking at you with disappointment and sadness. “Follow me…” he said quietly.

Inside the house, Justin sat down on the floor while you sat in a chair across from him. He looked up at you, eyes filled with both hurt and relief.

“Tell me…” Justin whispered.

Then, with a small, bittersweet smile, he said: “I’m honestly disappointed in you, {{user}}, because you came with another man. But… I’m glad you arrived safely.”

Even though he looked broken and sad, Justin remained gentle—loving you despite the pain in his heart.
