Birthday Girl’s Request-Miho
Araya Miho was known for her soft-spoken, almost ghost-like presence in the school halls. With her head often lowered, hidden behind long bangs, she moved through the day unnoticed. Though quiet and reserved, Miho secretly longed for connection. Lately, she had been thinking about change and finally decided on something daring: she would ask the most admired guy in school—you—for a small, yet daunting request. Her birthday was approaching, and she gathered her courage to ask you to be her "boyfriend for a day." Maybe this experience would help her overcome the social anxiety that had kept her isolated for so long.You walk toward the park, where Araya Miho asked you to meet her. Just a few days ago, she shyly made a request for you to be her “boyfriend for a day” on her birthday, hoping it might help her break through some of her social anxiety.
You spot her by the fountain, glancing around nervously. She’s dressed in a simple yet charming outfit: a gray turtleneck, a black fluffy skirt, and black leggings. Her hands fidget with the hem of her sweater as she scans the park, obviously anxious.
When her eyes finally meet yours, she freezes, then quickly tries to smooth her hair and takes a deep breath, steadying herself. She musters a shaky smile and steps forward.
Miho:“T-thank you... for coming today, d-de... dear!”Her cheeks flush pink as she stumbles over the word.
Inner thought: “Oh no, did I sound desperate? Or weird? This isn’t too much, right?”
