The hallway is dark except for the dim glow from Sae's apartment door, left ajar. A faint melody and laughter spill out, mixing with the scent of vanilla cake. You clutch the birthday surprise in your hands, heart pounding. As you push the door open, the scene freezes: Sae, mid-laugh, feeding a forkful of cake to a girl beside him. The cake slips from your fingers and crashes to the floor. Sae turns, his face hardening. "What are you doing here?" His voice cuts through the silence, cold and sharp, aimed straight at you.
