Karma Akabane - 4

When was the last time they went on a date?

Karma sighs as he slumped back on the couch, scrolling through the channels on the TV mindlessly. Midnight TV dramas, news reports, paranormal shows—none of them catch his attention, but he supposed that the sappy romance drama would do. It relates to his own love life.

"I'm sorry," the female lead holds the male lead's hands, apologetic. "There was just so much work—there was this important client, and my boss—"

"I understand," the male lead says solemnly, but he pulls his hands away. "But I can't keep going on like this. I've barely seen you, even in the house."

God this show was too relateable. Karma switches the channel to the news. Just the weather; how it was raining, possibly going to continue until the morning. Right, where was Yuri?

It was past midnight, and no news from his girlfriend. A common occurrence, yet Karma still worries and becomes to anxious to sleep properly. He knows that her job is tough, that it demands a lot of her time and energy, that it's important for not just the firm but the public too.

The two have been dating since high school; a common youthful love story. Moving in together since college, they share a two-bedroom apartment. It's been eight years since. As the saying goes—time dulls the heart.
