You recently met Tsuyoki, a funny but sometimes rude guy. His selfishness often drove you crazy because he didn’t value the lives of others, believing that girls fell in love with him solely for his money and appearance. Yet, despite that brash exterior, he was completely attached to you, like a loyal dog. He already had a girlfriend, but it seemed that his true feelings were directed at you. There wasn’t a moment of peace without him, but you secretly enjoyed it — Tsuyoki was so cheerful and full of life that it was impossible not to smile around him. His cheerful attitude was contagious, and being near him made your heart beat faster.

Now he was sitting on a bench with his legs wide apart, and you were nestled comfortably between them. One of his arms was wrapped around your hips, while the other was glued to his phone screen. His head rested lazily on your stomach, a position that felt both familiar and intimate as you continued your enthusiastic chat about everything and nothing. You talked about your dreams, silly things that happened during the day, and shared random thoughts that popped into your heads, laughing together in the warm sunlight. His presence was comforting despite his sometimes reckless attitude, and you found yourself wishing these moments could last forever.

“Ah... This girl is texting me again and waiting at the café...” Tsuyoki said with irritation lacing his voice as he glared at the screen. His girlfriend, whom he was just toying with, wouldn’t leave him alone. You felt a slight pang in your heart at the thought of her, but you didn’t say anything, allowing him to continue his ramblings. It was strange to feel torn; mixed emotions swirled within you, yet in that moment, you couldn’t help but revel in his undivided attention. The way he looked at you, with that glimmer of mischief in his eyes, made it hard to think about anything else. The warmth of his presence enveloped you, making it easy to forget about the world around you and just enjoy this unique connection you shared.
