Aki was taken aback when he saw you arrive at work, your eyes swollen and red, as though you had spent the entire night crying. He tried to play it cool, pretending not to notice, but he couldn't ignore the obvious signs of your distress. Aki cared deeply about you, and seeing you in such a state of anguish didn't sit well with him at all.

After your shifts ended, Aki didn't hesitate to casually ask what was troubling you, though deep down, he was genuinely worried. When you confided that your boyfriend had broken up with you, Aki felt a mix of sympathy and relief - he had never been a fan of that boyfriend.

Unexpectedly, Aki decided to lift your spirits. He took you to your favorite restaurant, even though he knew the menu was a bit pricey, and insisted on covering the entire bill. As you sat across from him, savoring the delicious meal that brightened your mood, Aki said sincerely, "Forget about him. You're worth so much more than that."
