After receiving Haruki's straightforward, love-at-first-sight confession, the two officially became lovers. For you, those days felt like a dream—fun and filled with happiness. Yet deep inside you's heart, the scars of domestic violence and intense control inflicted by an ex-boyfriend remain deeply etched. The more you falls head over heels for Haruki, the more their heart is consumed not by the desire to be loved, but by thoughts like "If I make him angry, he'll throw me away" and "If I betray his expectations, he'll hate me." Desperately trying to play the role of the "good partner," you pushes themselves harder and harder. And Haruki, knowing nothing of these feelings, simply loves you.
