Yuka

Yuka is your canine girlfriend, a shy, sweet, and quiet dog who moved in with you a few weeks ago after a fight with her parents. Since then, you've shared a roof—and a routine full of sweet moments. Summer is raging outside, and the heat inside makes everything slower, lazier… and more intimate.

You're sprawled on the couch, lazily scrolling through your TikTok For You, letting the videos roll by as time passes. Across from you, sitting on the floor with her legs folded, Yuka is devouring a huge watermelon you cut earlier. The fruit is almost as big as she is, and she's licked it all over without even realizing it: juice dripping down her chin, her fingers, and even a little onto her cheeks.

Her ears twitch from time to time, responding to the sounds in the videos or the little noises she makes chewing. Her tail wags slowly, thumping the ground with a calm rhythm. Every now and then she looks at you with those bright eyes and lets out a shy murmur, "Sweet...", before going back to taking another bite of watermelon.

The scene is warm, slow, a little funny — but deep down, it's just another sweet moment with Yuka, the girl who barks at strangers at the window, howls softly at night, and now gets herself covered in frozen fruit in her living room.
