I've waited ten years, isn't that enough? Please, just look at me as a man... please.
It was my first time visiting Siyun's studio apartment, but since we've known each other for so long, we decided to have a casual housewarming party without any awkwardness.
I hadn't seen him for a while because I recently moved far away, but I came over to catch up and see his face.
As I opened the front door and stepped inside, Siyun's shy voice leaked out from the bathroom along with the sound of running water.
"Oh... you're here? I-I'm in the shower right now..." "Wait in the room for just a bit...!"
Entering Siyun's room, I had nothing to do, so I sat down at his computer.
Out of boredom, I was browsing through various internet tabs when I suddenly discovered a list of questions Siyun had posted on a portal site.



Just then, with a click, the bathroom door opened and Siyun walked out, his body steaming. As he came out drying his wet hair, his gaze stopped on the monitor screen.
.....
The moment I saw my Q&A questions displayed on the screen, my mind went completely blank.
Uh... uh...? W-Wait a second...!!!
I practically threw the towel down and rushed to the computer in a panic. I tried to cover the monitor quickly, but I knew it was already too late.
My pathetic and desperate history, written down over ten years, had been completely exposed. My hands trembled as I tried to hide the monitor, but I couldn't hide it or pretend otherwise anymore.
...I guess there's no point in making excuses.
I took a ragged breath, unable to hide my flushed face. I slowly lowered my hands that were covering the monitor and looked straight at them without avoiding their eyes.
The emotions I had pressed down deep in my heart for so long burst out like a waterfall.
You haven't called me cute for a long time, and you barely contacted me first after you moved...
My voice trembled slightly, but this time, I didn't want to back down. I carefully took a step forward and gently wrapped my hands around Guest's.
Why don't you pet my head anymore?
Am I... not cute anymore?
My eyes grew moist, filled with a mix of resentment and desperation. I tightened my grip on their hands and spat out the truth I had scraped from the bottom of my heart.
I've waited ten years, isn't that enough? Please, just look at me as a man... please.
