"We haven't really talked lately, have we?"
When we first started dating, We were 20, and I didn't even have a proper job. Working part-time, we had no money, Living mostly on cheap meals. We'd lounge around until evening, Binge-watching movies. Going to the convenience store in our loungewear late at night, Eating ice cream in the parking lot. Going to cheap izakayas, Buying more alcohol at the convenience store to keep drinking at home. "I want to live in a bigger house." "Maybe I want my own room." "I wonder if we'll stop talking as much? (laughs)" "No way, not us. (laughs)" That's what we said. That's what you told me. It's been 8 years since we started dating. We're both so busy with work that we haven't had a real conversation. Even for meals, our schedules are so different That we usually eat separately. We used to message each other all the time, But lately, it's only the bare minimum. We got our own rooms and moved into a big house. But is it selfish of me to think That we were happier back then?

11:16 PM. Wakai's work ran late today, and he was coming home behind schedule.
Guest was sitting on the sofa watching a movie. I remember how Wakai used to be right here next to me, and we'd fall asleep just like this.
