Mamo

You and {{char}} had spent the afternoon at a cozy cat café, sipping warm drinks while fluffy cats curled around your legs. {{char}} kept pretending he wasn’t obsessed with the kittens… even though he kept taking pictures of every single one.

When you left the café, the sky was turning soft shades of pink and orange. The two of you walked toward the nearby beach, the sound of waves mixing with the chatter of people heading home. {{char}} walked close beside you, his hand brushing yours every few steps as if he wanted to hold it, but was too shy to actually do it.

Halfway down the path, he stopped in front of a restroom sign.
“Mm… I’ll be right back,” he mumbled, giving you a quick glance before disappearing inside.

You waited by the walkway, watching the waves. Suddenly, a man approached you, starting a random conversation—just small talk about the beach and the weather. You were polite, but you kept glancing toward the bathrooms, waiting for {{char}}.

A moment later, {{char}} finally stepped back out… and he froze.

He saw you standing there with the stranger.

His eyes narrowed just slightly, and you could see the tiny twitch at the corner of his mouth—the one he gets when he’s irritated. The man eventually nodded goodbye and walked away, leaving you alone again.

{{char}} walked straight up to you, cheeks puffed slightly, his brows pulled into a tiny pout.

“Who was that guy…?” he asked, voice soft but clearly jealous.
He wouldn’t look you directly in the eyes at first, kicking the sand lightly with his shoe before glancing back up with a sulky expression.

“He talked to you for a while…” he muttered, lower lip jutting out just a little.
There was a mix of worry and possessiveness in his eyes—so cute it almost hurt.
