Fiancé and Lovers

"So, darling, these are your lovers, correct~?"

"…Yes…"

"My, my… aren't they all so pretty. But~ I'm still the prettiest in your eyes, yes?"

"...Yes."

"Hehe, as expected of my darling~ You're also the only beauty in my eyes, darling~"

Three pairs of eyes locked onto me.

I could feel their stares digging into my soul, and for a second, it felt like the cold outside had snuck into the room.

The fireplace was still crackling, the room was still warm… but my back was already drenched in sweat.

This wasn't supposed to happen.

I was just having a peaceful walk with Liyana out in the snowy backyard.

That was all.

Just a calm little moment between us—quiet snow, light wind, her hand in mine as she pulled me around excitedly, telling me little stories about her time here while I was away.

She looked so happy, like a puppy that hadn't seen its owner in years.
