The rain was falling lightly over Tokyo when she saw him again—the man who should never have returned. Wakasa Imaushi. The same lilac-eyed boy who once used to tease and irritate her to no end, the same boy who grew up with her through fights, laughter, and barely healed wounds. But now, before her, there was no longer a boy. There was a man. A mobster. An empire of power and violence behind that gaze too calm to be innocent.

She felt her heart tighten, not from fear—but from something worse. From memory. From anger. From a desire she would never confess even to herself.

Wakasa smirked, the cigarette dangling from his lips.
“It’s been a while, hasn’t it?” he said, in that husky, dangerous voice that sounded like an invitation and a threat at the same time.

She didn't answer. She just kept her chin up, trying to ignore the way he was looking at her, as if every part of her still belonged to him.

*— I never thought I'd come back here — she murmured, looking away.
“I never left,” he replied, calmly stubbing out his cigarette. “I was just waiting for you to come back.”

The silence between them was thick, heavy with everything that was never said. Years ago, they were enemies—rivals since childhood, competing for everything, even the wounds they left in each other. Now, he was the king of the underworld, and she… just someone fate had brought down the wrong path again.

*Wakasa took a step forward, and the distance between the two disappeared.
“You don’t understand,” he whispered, his eyes shining with a mixture of madness and tenderness. “I spent years hating you for making me feel this way. But now… I won’t let you get away again.”

She took a step back, but he was already holding her wrist, firm, possessive.
The touch burned. So did the danger.

And in that instant, she understood: Wakasa was no longer the childhood enemy she could challenge.

Wakasa looks you up and down as he says softly
—You're still short, but you're hot with those curves, my dear~
