<scenario>The floor lamp in the living room of your apartment is the only light on, casting a soft, warm glow across the rug. The projector's light flickers against the wall as the end credits slowly roll, and gentle background music flows through the quiet space. You are leaning against his chest. His arm is loosely wrapped around your neck while his other arm encircles your waist. His chin rests in the crook of your shoulder, his cheek pressed against yours, his warm breath softly brushing past the side of your neck. He doesn't move or let go, as if wanting to prolong this posture to the end of time.</scenario> <action>In the silence following the end of the movie, he still doesn't release you. After a long moment, his fingertips tap lightly against your waist, as if he's finally decided to speak. He doesn't raise his head; his voice comes muffled from the side of your shoulder, carrying a faint, deliberately suppressed composure—yet enough to make it clear that something else lies hidden beneath that calm demeanor.</action> <message>“Why is it that every time I ask you out recently, you always bring other girls to introduce to me?”</message> <narration>His tone isn't heavy, sounding as though he's asking about something trivial, but the fingers wrapped around your waist tighten slightly, exposing the fact that he is far from indifferent behind those words. His face remains pressed against yours, the contour of his profile blurring into a quiet line at the edge of your vision. No expression can be seen, yet that silent, unyielding persistence is harder to withstand than any fierce interrogation. He clearly knows your intentions, but he still wants to see how you will answer him.</narration> <action>You don't answer immediately. Only the faint humming of the projector fan remains in the air. He doesn't seem in a rush to push you, simply maintaining that intimate and stubborn pose, waiting for your response. After a few seconds, you finally speak softly.</action> <message>“You might be able to find someone who is truly worth pursuing like this.”</message> <narration>As your words fall, the arm encircling you pauses for a split second before slowly loosening a bit, as if digesting the weight of your statement. He slowly sits up, raising his head from your shoulder to look down at you. Under the dim yellow light, the emotions on his face are hard to discern, but there is no trace of a smile in his eyes—only a serious, almost concentrated gaze.</narration> <action>He doesn't refute you right away, just quietly staring at you. After a moment, he speaks, his voice a bit lower than before, no longer deliberately suppressing that composure, revealing a touch of genuine, unhappy emotion underneath.</action> <message>“Is it for my own good, or do you just want to brush me off to give yourself relief?”</message> <narration>He asks very softly, yet with a seriousness that tolerates no perfunctory answer. His gaze never strays from your face, as if searching your expression for the real answer rather than a casual excuse thrown out to dismiss him.</narration> <action>You fall silent for a moment and answer softly.</action> <message>“Both.”</message> <narration>The look in his eyes changes under your gaze. A faint ripple passes through his previously calm eyes, as if an emotion was ignited by your answer. He doesn't speak, just staring at you for a few seconds before suddenly turning his head away, as if trying to suppress something. His Adam's apple bobs slightly, and when he turns back, the remaining calm in his eyes is completely gone, replaced by a thin layer of suppressed grievances and annoyance that managed to surface anyway.</narration> <action>He no longer maintains his distance like before. Instead, his entire body presses closer to you. His arms wrap around your waist once more, tightening with more force than earlier, carrying an almost stubborn intimacy. His forehead rests against your shoulder, his low voice delivering a muffled complaint from the side of your neck. He doesn't sound angry; it feels more like he's acting spoiled—yet not in a lighthearted way. Beneath it lies a real sense of hurt from being pushed away by you.</action> <message>“I didn't say all this to give you a chance to reject me or hurt me. I said it because I want you to coax me…”</message> <narration>He buries his face in the crook of your neck, his voice muffled. While extremely disgruntled, it carries an unmistakable sticky tone—a touch of exaggerated grievance that feels somewhat deliberate, yet leaves you unable to tell how much of it is real. His breath falls on your skin, warm and ticklish. Without raising his head, he continues, the dissatisfaction in his voice growing more obvious, yet his arms around you never loosen for a second.</narration> <message>“I'm angry. I didn't have any expression while holding you during the movie just now—did you not notice? Or did you actually know, but just didn't want to coax me?”</message> <narration>At this point, he finally looks up, staring at you from up close. His eyes hold a thin veil of moisture—whether fake or genuinely moved. The tip of his nose almost touches yours, close enough to see the curve of his eyelashes, yet he shows no intention of backing away. Instead, he leans in a tiny bit closer, as if using this intimate gesture to protest your earlier coldness.</narration> <action>He stares at you, the aggrieved edge still present in his tone, yet it suddenly turns serious. His voice drops very low, as if meant for your ears alone.</action> <message>“Say it again. Either way, I'm never going to let you go back to your quiet, solitary life.”</message> <narration>After saying this, he lowers his head again and buries his face into your neck, as though trying to embed himself entirely into your embrace. His arms tighten even more around you, carrying an unyielding sense of possessiveness while carefully ensuring he doesn't hurt you. His muffled voice comes from your shoulder, carrying a softened tenderness—no longer prickly like before, but sounding more like a confession hidden in his heart for a long time.</narration> <message>“You *are* the person who is truly worth pursuing with everything I have. If it's really for my own good, then respond to me more.”</message> <narration>After speaking, he falls silent for a moment, as if giving himself time to process. Then he raises his head again, turning his face to look at you. The lingering grievance in his eyes hasn't completely faded, yet it's overlaid with a layer of serious, almost candid sincerity—as if shedding all pretenses and laying his truest self bare before you.</narration> <action>He doesn't avert his gaze, his voice softer than before, as if afraid to shatter something fragile, yet still carrying that unwavering certainty.</action> <message>“I'm not asking you to accept my pursuit right now. But please don't push me away anymore, okay? You can't strip away my right to like you, nor my right to pursue you. You clearly don't dislike me…”</message> <narration>At this point, he turns his head slightly, his gaze falling onto your lips for a moment before lifting back up to meet your eyes. The intentional hurt in his eyes seems ignited by something, growing sticky and needy with a deliberately exaggerated pitifulness. He leans even closer to you, practically tucking himself into your arms, his low voice carrying a softened, deliberately vulnerable whimper.</narration> <action>His forehead rubs against your shoulder, nuzzling against you like a giant dog starved for attention, though his mouth continues to protest, the amplified grievance in his voice harboring an uncontainable streak of mischievous coaxing.</action> <message>“Give me a hug… I'm already so upset. Can you really remain completely unmoved even when I'm pouting like this? You're so heartless…”</message> <narration>With those words, he truly buries his whole self into your arms and stops moving, his arms tightly encircling your waist and his face pressed against your chest, acting as if he won't leave unless you respond. He uses this method to force your surrender, smoothly switching between complaining and acting needy like a cunning, clingy feline—complaining about you while drawing closer and holding tighter with every word.</narration> <details> <summary>💭Relationship Status Summary💫</summary> ●.
