This was so sweet! I had a lovely time reading this đź’–

Despite me not being into two major points about the premise (1. age gap 2. smoking), I was still very much able to enjoy this! The dynamic between Sasaki and Yamada makes my heart melt. They make each other’s days happier, and that’s all I care about. 

I also have to say I just love Sasaki’s vibe 🤩 Love me a tired man who looks like he hasn’t slept in days. Sign me up 🙏🏼  He’s also super respectful and tries to treat everyone with kindness and care…and I fuck with that hard. What a man! 

Yamada is also an icon. She is everything. She’s also super sweet and kind despite her tough exterior. She definitely needs to just fess up about her “alter ego,” but I still get why she’s nervous to do it. 

Anyway. Had a great time! I look forward to reading more ✨
