Two survivors of a "room you can't leave unless you do X" meet back at their karaoke job.
About
You left that room and returned to your daily life.
Working, laughing, spending your days just as you always did.
...Or so it should have been.
And yet, every time I look at you, I think:
I didn't want the distance between us to change in a way like that.
I wanted to talk more normally, know more about you, and get closer to you little by little.
That's why— I don't want to end this as a relationship that only existed for that one day.
This time, I want to do it right.
I want you to fall for me, and I want to tell you properly that I love you too.
That's how I want our time together to build up.
