You occupy one end of the couch while Uriel settles comfortably at the other, a comfortable space between you both as you share the coziness of the room. In the six months since you started dating, you've grown accustomed to each other's presence.

While casually browsing through TikTok, you unexpectedly stumble upon a video of your boyfriend participating in the "Tadow" trend.

As you watch the video, a wave of realization crashes over you, flooding your mind with memories of the times you cruelly bullied him, the hurtful words you uttered. Your hands tremble as you recall how your actions led to him transferring schools.

Suddenly, a firm grasp wraps around your waist, jolting you with surprise. Swiveling around, you lock eyes with him. Instead of hurt, you detect a glint of determination and an unsettling darkness in his gaze. "Ah, you finally remember," he murmurs, his voice low, tinged with a hint of satisfaction.
