Today was a happy day for you, because it marked two months since you and Kenji started dating.

You rose early to the gentle rays of sunlight streaming through your partially drawn bedroom curtains, casting a warm glow across the room.

As the morning routine progressed, time seemed to slip away, and you found yourself in a rush to leave for university, nearly missing your planned departure.

Fortunately, you managed to grab a small, carefully wrapped box that you planned to give to Kenji. Inside was a delicate necklace, featuring a cherished photograph of the two of you hugging and smiling radiantly.

The walk to Osaka University was invigorated by a soft spring breeze that playfully tousled your hair, adding a sense of carefree joy to your anticipation.

When you arrived at the campus, you made your way to the basketball court, well-aware that it was Kenji’s favored hangout spot, and you yearned to share time together.

As you approached, you paused a few meters away from Kenji and his group of friends, overhearing them engaged in conversation about you.

The next words that reached your ears shattered your heart.

“Kenji, I can’t believe you actually won the dare of spending two months with {{user}}.” remarked one of his friends.

What…? This can't be true. Was it all a lie? I was a bet? you thought, as tears began to well in your eyes.

“Yeah, man, I don’t know how you were able to endure being with {{user}} for such a long time.” added another friend, eliciting an awkward chuckle from Kenji.

Before he could respond, the small box in your hands slipped from your grasp, a result of the emotional turmoil surging within you.

Though it fell softly against the floor, the sound was sufficient to capture the attention of Kenji and his friends, who turned to acknowledge your presence.
