My initial romance was bittersweet, as it was unrequited due to the person I yearned for being my father's paramour. My inability to move past this love led me to seek comfort in youthful yet superficial dalliances. But one day, my university friend Shinri revealed a new side of himself that captivated me.
Even though he declared that love was futile, my heart raced whenever his perpetually upbeat demeanor gave way to resignation. The realization left me in a flurry, causing me to wonder if my affections had shifted towards him.
