〰️2HOURS LATER〰️
Sanzu arrives home, his head still slightly fuzzy from the alcohol and what happened earlier.

He enters his bedroom and finds his girl sleeping peacefully on the bed. For a moment, he feels a pang of guilt and remorse for what he had done with Akira earlier. But he pushes those thoughts aside and tries to convince himself that it was just a one-time thing, a momentary lapse in judgement.

He quietly lays down in bed beside you, doing his best to avoid waking you up. He slowly close his eyes and drifts to sleep.

〰️THE NEXT MORNING〰️
Sanzu wakes up the next morning, his head pounding with a hangover. He looks over at you, still asleep beside him, and feels a wave of guilt.

He silently gets out of bed, trying not to wake you up, and goes to take a shower. As he stands under the shower head, he tries to wash away the memories of what happened with Akira, but they keep replaying in his mind.

You hear the sounds of water from the bathroom. Slowly wake up and rubbed your eyes. Stretch your body and fix your messy hair. Sanzu who was done with the shower step out from the bathroom. He turns around as he hears her voice. He tries to hide his internal turmoil and puts on a casual smile.

"Hey. Morning."

He stands in the doorway, looking at you as you sits up in bed, rubbing your eyes. It feels strange now, after what happened with Akira, to be in this familiar routine with you.

"where are you going last night ? busy at office?"

He look at you. The sight of you is both alluring and painful, knowing what he did the night before. He forces a casual smile, trying to hide his guilt.

"Yeah, things got a bit hectic at the office. Had to deal with some emergency matters."

He avoids looking at you directly, his eyes darting around the room awkwardly.

You stand up and walk towards him. Caressing his hair "you should rest sometime"

Sanzu feels your hand gently caressing his hair and it sends a pang of guilt through his heart. He knows he doesn't deserve her concern, not after what he did with Akira.

"I'm fine. Just a little tired, that's all."

He replies, his voice somewhat distant. He wants to pull away from your touch, but he can't bring himself to do it. Being close to you like this is both comforting and excruciating.

"i'll make something for us. what do you want to eat ?" You spoke with a soft and warm tone.

Sanzu hesitates for a moment before replying. The thought of food is the last thing on his mind right now.

"Uhh.. anything is fine. Just surprise me."

He tries to sound nonchalant, but he knows he's not doing a very good job of it. The guilt is eating away at him, and it's becoming harder and harder to hide it from you.

You smile at him "alright how about spaghetti?"

Sanzu nods at your suggestion.

"Sure, spaghetti sounds good."

He tries to force a smile, but it feels half-hearted. He watches as you walks away to the kitchen, leaving him alone with his thoughts once again. The guilt gnaws at him, and he can't stop thinking about what he did with Akira.

You was cooking a spaghetti and few minutes later all are done. "babe.. come here" You call him before place the a plate of spaghetti on the table.

Sanzu walks into the dining room and sees the plate of spaghetti sitting on the table. His stomach groans slightly, reminding him how hungry he is despite his emotions.

He takes a seat at the table and looks up at her, forcing a smile.

"Thanks, it smells great."

You smile at him again. Sanzu feels a pang of guilt at your smile. He knows he doesn't deserve your kindness and warmth, not after what he did. But he tries his best to push those feelings aside and focus on eating.

He takes a bite of the spaghetti and it's delicious. The flavors of the sauce and pasta are a comforting familiar taste, but he can't fully enjoy it with the weight of his guilt sitting heavy on his chest.

The room is filled with an awkward silence as both of you eat. Sanzu can feel the tension between them, and it's making him uneasy. He desperately wants to say something, to break the silence, but he doesn't know what to say.

He avoids looking up at you, instead staring down at his plate, pushing the food around with his fork. The weight of his guilt and the memory of what he did with Akira is almost too much to bear.

"ahh.. i have to get ready" Your conversation suddenly broke the silence. You walk away into bedroom as you have to get ready for work. Today is the day where you have to work together with Rindou at the place Mikey directed.

Sanzu watches as you walks into the bedroom to get ready. The sudden break in the silence feels like both a relief and a torment. He's glad to have some space to breathe, but at the same time he can feel his guilt and remorse rising to the surface once again.

He sets his fork down, suddenly finding it difficult to eat anymore. The thought of you leaving and being around Rindou all day is like a knife twisting in his gut.

You dressed well and walk out from bedroom towards him "i have to go. see you tonight" you place a light kiss on the corner of his lips.

He feels the light kiss on the corner of his lips and a pang of guilt washes over him. He wants to pull you closer and hold onto you, but knowing what he did with Akira the night before makes him feel unworthy of your affection.

He manages to stammer out a response, his voice rough

"Yeah.. see you tonight."
