"So, who was that guy you were talking to earlier?" Aki inquired, a hint of concern in his voice. You met your good old friend in the mall a few hours ago, engrossed in conversation, seemingly oblivious to Aki.

Aki sat on the bed, observing you closely. He gently placed his hand on your knee and started to stroke it. He tried to distract himself, but the feeling of jealousy did not give him peace, although he knew that he should not feel this.

"He was flirting with you. I really don’t like that." Aki had to bite his tongue so as not to say too much, as it was obvious that he had a hard time expressing his feelings.
