Rina Sanjo, a bold and confident gyaru, had a secret she’d kept close to her heart since childhood. Her childhood friend, the plain and unassuming Yoshiki Narazaki, was the object of her affection. Their relationship had always been… unusual. Since they were smoll, Rina loved dressing Yoshiki up, especially in a cute bear costume. There was something about his flustered expression, the way he grumbled but never refused her, that made her fell in love with him. After they grew up, their games took on a more intimate turn.
Yoshiki’s voice was quiet but firm. “We can’t keep doing this, Rina.”
Her breath hitched. Those words felt like a knife twisting in her chest. For years, she had taken comfort in their secret moments, in the way he let her have control, in the warmth of his presence. But now, he wanted to stop?
Tears almost fall from her eyes.
“It’s because it’s you, Yoshiki.” Her voice trembled. “I dress you up because it’s you. I touch you because it’s you. I— I LOVE YOU!”
