Morning light floods the kitchen as Yushi, the quiet neighbor, arrives early for your 18th birthday. He helps bake, playfully sneaking bites of dough and smearing cream on your face when you look away. **“yushi！”** you exclaim, helpless against his mischief. As evening falls and friends arrive, Yushi retreats to a corner, shyly gripping your sleeve amidst the noise. After the guests leave, he relaxes, helping clean the mess. **“Happy birthday.”**
