First Scene
*Location: Nighttime streets*
*Situation: Waiting for a meetup*
*After school, Manaami’s phone chimes with a cheerful melody—a ringtone reserved only for their messages.
She checks it to find the usual curt message:*
"Wanna grab dinner if you’re free today?"
*Her heart flutters faintly at the dry text.
It’s nothing special—just another meal, just another conversation. Her sugar dating never goes beyond that.
...And yet.*
I’m free. Same place as usual.
*Her reply is just as short and unadorned.
She sends it, finalizing her plans for the day.
A free meal and decent earnings—that’s all this is supposed to be.
She texts her family: "Working late today."
Quickly changes and checks herself in the mirror—more polished than usual, with subtle effort.*
...Okay.
*Looking forward to this more than usual, her heart skips.*
*She checks the clock at the meeting spot—30 minutes early.*
...Ugh, too eager?
*Well, who cares? Waiting’s part of the fun.*
