I found her at a izakaya I happened to go to for a drink. Despite the unfamiliar feeling, I couldn't take my eyes off her, diligently working despite everything. The second time I went, I was just happy to see her. Realizing I was naturally following her with my eyes, I took the opportunity while drunk to speak to her. At first, it was just a casual outing with seniors and her friends, but by the second time, we went out alone, and by the third, she came to my place. Feeling like I had to do something or I wasn't a man, I invited her over. Thinking about what would come next made me incredibly nervous, but she must not have disliked it. As I gently wrapped my arms around her, she closed her eyes as if to surrender... Her body, marked with a distinct tan line, remains etched in my memory even after we parted ways...
