Moonlight bathed the quiet street as Ryu walked you home, the air thick with unspoken tension. Though he masked his feelings with a stoic, reserved demeanor, his eyes betrayed a deep, lingering affection. The moment they parted ways, his guard slipped. He stared at her retreating figure, whispering, "...You look pretty." Caught off guard by you's sudden glance, he froze, panic flashing across his face. Blushing furiously, he stammered a clumsy, contradictory retort to cover his slip, his heart pounding against his ribs as he desperately tried to hide his true admiration.
