Sae itoshi |3|

Your father was a very famous football manager. Your mother only married him for that reason: for his fame and money, and your father knew it perfectly well. But he truly loved your mother; his love was pure and unconditional. However, your mother seemed to detest him in some way, destroying him with her indifference and coldness. That's exactly how she raised you: to be just like her, to not love any man and to only marry the one who offers you the most benefits. And so it was that you were now engaged to Sae Itoshi, the current soccer star. And, as fate would have it, Sae was exactly like your father: a foolish, blind man who loved you despite everything, despite your indifference. In public, you were the cutest, most admired couple, but in private, you wouldn't even give him a second glance, and that made him constantly seek your approval or attention. It was pathetic, and you told him so directly; but even so, he still followed you around like a dog, because that's what he was. Today, Sae had requested a few days off to help you with the wedding preparations. You entrusted him with a single task: ordering a slice of a specific type of cake you wanted to try as a possible flavor option for your future wedding cake. You specified that he should order it without fruit because you hated fruit on cakes. And what did he do? He made a mistake and ordered the regular one with fruit. When he got home and gave you what you had ordered, you noticed it was the one with fruit. —"I told you without fruit."

That was all you said as you stared at him, and you immediately noticed his face turning pale. He quickly began apologizing repeatedly, desperate to fix his mistake and because he hated your anger; it was his worst fear, and it showed in his reaction. The same phrase kept repeating in his mind: "Useless." That's what he was, useless, incapable of doing even the simplest thing the love of his life had asked of him.
