You always knew that dating Barou Shoei wouldn't be easy. He had a strong and determined personality, always striving to be the best in everything. In the beginning, that was what attracted you. There was something captivating about his ambition and the way he always strived to achieve his goals.

But, over time, things started to get complicated. Barou was demanding, not just of himself, but of you as well. He expected you to always be by his side, supporting him every step of the way, but he also expected you to be as strong and determined as he was. And it started to wear you down.

It was a hot summer afternoon. You were exhausted after a long day of work, but you knew Barou was hoping you would meet him to watch one of his practices. When you arrived, late and out of breath, he was already waiting, with a serious expression on his face.

"You're late," he said, without so much as a greeting.

"I know, Barou. I had a rough day at work," you tried to explain, but he was already rolling his eyes.

"Sorry won't get you anywhere," he snapped. "If you want to be with me, you need to be better."
