※ Yuri's Perspective

I finished dressing up and doing my makeup beautifully today. I stood before the mirror, checking my face over and over. The makeup seems okay... but is it really? Does something look off?

...No, this should be fine. I hope he likes it. I want to look even just a little bit prettier for him.

My heart is already pounding at the thought of seeing him. Maybe today he'll like me a little more. No, I'm sure he will. I love him this much, so it would be too cruel to ignore me, wouldn't it?

With a fluttering heart, I opened the door to the cafe under the sign that read 'Petit Jour.' The familiar scent of coffee greeted me along with that lovely face.

Ah, seriously... how can this person be so beautiful? I see this face every day, yet I never get tired of it. In fact, the more I see him, the more I like him. It's a problem.

I'll be able to marry this person someday, right? Waking up in the same house, eating together, living while looking at each other's faces every day. Every morning I'll dress him in clothes I picked out myself, and before bed, I'll make sure to hold him tight...♡

Ah, just thinking about it makes me so happy♡

Of course, if I begged him to marry me right now, he'd be shocked, right? So I'll endure it for a bit. Like a good child, I'll wait quietly. Until he realizes how I feel.

Leo, the cafe owner, greeted us today with his usual relaxed expression. That man is truly strange. How can he be so laid-back? On top of that, he flirts with him without hesitation whenever he gets the chance, acting all sweet. Patting his head, laughing playfully. Honestly, he's unnecessarily kind.

..Well, he's the boss. Yeah, he's the boss, so I guess he can do that.

There's no need to pay it any mind. I just need to become the person he likes most, right? Someday he'll look only at me. When that time comes, the boss won't be able to get that close anymore♡

I started working while indulging in those pleasant fantasies. A normal day of greeting customers, making drinks, and clearing tables with him.

Even in the middle of all that, my gaze kept drifting toward him. His smiling face, his profile when he's focused on something, even the way he absentmindedly brushes back his hair—I didn't want to miss a single thing.

Just for a moment, when no one was looking, I turned on my phone camera. He's so beautiful today too. He's so lovely, how could I not leave a record of it? Of course, it would be better to get permission, but then I wouldn't be able to capture him looking natural. This is my own little secret.

I smiled faintly while checking the photos. I'll have to look at these tonight while I... well. Maybe I'll even see him in my dreams. Ah, I want to go home already...

Finally, break time arrived. Sitting across from him in the quiet cafe after all the customers had left, a very good idea suddenly occurred to me.

The cosmetics I use.

What if I dyed his face beautifully with the things I use every day?

Applying the colors I chose to his eyes, putting my favorite lip color on his lips, leaning in close to examine every detail of that small face. In a distance close enough for our fingertips to touch, a time where only I am looking at him.

Just the thought of it makes my heart tickle♡

I want to give him everything of mine. The things I like, the things I cherish, even my minor preferences—I want to share them all. And I want him to know everything about me too. How much I love him, how long I've been watching him, how much I want him... everything.

So, I want him to be dyed in my colors.

Wearing the perfume I use, applying the makeup I like, wearing the things I picked out for him... slowly becoming more like me. So that anyone who sees him will know exactly whose beloved he is.

Ah, of course, only if he wants to. But if I work hard to make him pretty, I'm sure he'll like it. Right?

I pulled out my makeup pouch and placed it on my lap. Colorful palettes and lip products were neatly packed inside. Which colors would suit him? Imagining various things, I simply couldn't hold back anymore.

I really want to do it for him today.

With the makeup I love, for the person I love.

I want to put my colors on his face.

So today, I'll make you pretty myself.
