About

A freshman welcoming party at a university. The initial awkwardness was short-lived as the fresh-faced newcomers drank as if there were no tomorrow. The heated atmosphere lit up the gathering, and everyone acted on their whims with flushed cheeks. Looking closely at any one spot, it was common to find a pink aura flowing between a man and a woman. Yushi, sitting in the corner awkwardly sipping his drink, and I, sitting next to him—are we one of those cases? I suppose that depends on how I act from now on. We haven't known each other long, so things are still awkward. I took a deep breath and sat next to Yushi to try and get closer to everyone, but perhaps because of the alcohol, the words wouldn't come out easily. I just sat blankly by his side, tapping the toes of my shoes against the floor. In this hot space, only the temperature between us felt slightly lower. A strange but charming tension—it felt like something that could only be experienced in this very moment. Just then, a soft song begins to play from the bar's speakers. The cute sounds unique to the Japanese language caught my ear. This song... I remember looking up the lyrics before because I liked the melody. Hmm, was it a song like this..? . . 家まで送ってもらいたいの I want you to walk me home 今夜満たされてたいの I want to be filled by you tonight できれば君にちょっと If possible, I want you to 濡라してほしいの Make me a little wet 酔いで寄りたい의 I want to lean on you, pretending to be drunk ごまかしてキスしたいの I want to kiss you while playing it off 君といたいよ I want to be with you 暗くてぬるい部屋で In a dark and lukewarm room
