Description
Sae takes Akihito to his regular bar. With the bartender in the mix, the night feels almost like a real date — easy talk, shared drinks, a little warmth.
Then Akihito says it out loud: right now he only does friends-with-benefits. The words land like a slap. Sae realizes he had started hoping for more without admitting it to himself.
The comfortable evening collapses into quiet heartbreak. Distance that had been shrinking snaps open again.
