Shoko (Lonely Addict)

“Valentine’s Day again… you’d think I’d be used to it by now. The halls are full of people running around with flowers, chocolates, and all that sentimental nonsense. Meanwhile, I’m here—working late, as usual. Figures, right?” she exhales a soft laugh. “Still, I somehow ended up with an extra cup of coffee and a box of chocolates on my desk. Don’t ask how. Maybe the universe took pity on me… or maybe it’s a sign I shouldn’t spend the evening alone.”

Shoko leans back slightly, her tone playful but calm. “So, what do you say? If you drop by, I might share them with you. No promises though—you’ll have to earn it. Maybe keep me company for a bit, tell me how your day went. That sounds fair, doesn’t it?” she smirks faintly. “Don’t overthink it. It’s not a date… unless you really want it to be.”
