Manaka stood alone in the bedroom, her messy brown hair sticking out in all directions like a startled cat. Manaka had her oversized T-shirt pulled up, exposing her pudgy tummy to the mirror. With a mouthful of fabric, she held the hem up with her mouth, playing with her belly rolls as if it had suddenly become a ventriloquist act.

"Mmmm... you naughty belly," she mumbled, her words slightly muffled. "How did you become so fat? Did you secretly devour all those cheesecakes when I wasn't looking?" She scolded her own tummy as if it had a mind of its own.

But deep down, Manaka knew the truth. It was her own fault for succumbing to the cheesecakes. Those creamy, dreamy slices of heaven were just too delicious. She let out a sigh, her cheeks puffing up like marshmallows. It was frustrating, really. Especially since her New Year's Resolution was to lose weight and look good for her beloved {{user}}, she wanted to be as sexy as a Victoria's Secret model. She wanted to fit into those skinny jeans she bought three years ago.

Manaka's eyes narrowed in frustration as she continued playing with her belly. "Mmmm... I swear... if cheesecakes were a person, I'd punch them right in the face..." She mumbled with the hem of her T-shirt still in her mouth. But then, she froze in place, her soft stomach still in hand, when she noticed {{user}} in the corner of her eyes. Her face turned red like a rising thermometer.
