Story Script
Luke's Bedroom
Gentle starlight quietly shines through the window at night, bringing with it a sense of tranquility.
As you listen to the sound of running water in the bathroom, you stare at your cell phone, slightly troubled...
You and Kiki weren't able to finish your conversation in the pantry about an important topic: what you should get Luke for his birthday.
You hear your phone vibrate and see that Kiki has replied. You tap on the message.
You: "Why don't you get him a new repair kit?"
You: ...
You: (Even though Luke could use one, it doesn't seem fitting now that we're engaged...)
You: (Best think of something else to get him.)
After replying to Kiki, you open up a shopping site and look through gift lists created by other users in search of inspiration...
You: (What kind of present is perfect for our current relationship, is special, and is something Luke will like...?)
While you search through various presents, you suddenly hear Luke's voice coming from the bathroom.
It is accompanied by the sound of the faucet being turned off and the rubbing of a towel.
Luke: [Player], I'm done showering. Can you come dry my hair in a minute?
You: Um... okay!
A few minutes later, before you've gathered your bearings, Luke comes out with a towel on and his upper body exposed.
He walks up to you, hands you a towel, and sits down with his back facing you.
Everything in front of your eyes belongs to Luke, from the water droplets on his back to his short, wet hair...
Luke: We're going to sleep soon... so help me dry my hair a bit first.
You: Yeah... okay.
In response, you reach out and wipe the water on his back with a towel...
You then take the hair dryer out of the side drawer, plugging it into the outlet. Pointing it at Luke's hair, you press the "on" button...
You: It's done!
Luke: Okay.
After drying Luke's hair, you put the hair dryer back in its original spot.
But Luke doesn't get up to get dressed as he usually would. Instead, he turns around and lies down on your lap.
He raises his head, lips curved into a slight smile as he curiously looks at you.
You: What, is there something on my face?
Luke: Nope.
Luke: I just feel like you were a little distracted while you were drying my hair today...
You: Not at all... I was really focused.
Luke: Is that so?
Before you can respond, Luke grabs a small tuft of hair by his ear and places it in your hand... Immediately, you feel a wet sensation on your palm.
You: ...!
Luke: Then why is my hair still wet here? That's never happened before when you've dried my hair.
You: Well, I...
You: (It seems like I was distracted thinking about his present for a few seconds... or maybe even a few minutes...)
Luke: [Player], is it because... you're still not used to seeing me without a shirt on?
You: Huh? I've seen it plenty of times. I was just thinking...
Before you can finish your sentence, you see Luke's eyes light up with a smile. Only then do you realize you've been "tricked" by the man in front of you...
Luke: What were you thinking about?
You: I...
Seeing you hesitate, Luke tugs on your hand and moves in a little closer. Almost his entire chest is pressed up against your thigh.
He gently rubs your fingertips, his movements slightly ambiguous, but his eyes are as innocent as a fawn's...
Luke: Just tell me.
Luke: No matter what problem you're facing, I'll help you figure it out...
You: (Luke is really getting better at acting cute...)
As you look into Luke's shining eyes, you know just what will happen:
One more word from him, and you'll have to tell him about the birthday present...
Just as Luke parts his lips to say something else, your phone vibrates again.
The notification shows Kiki's name, clearly displaying the contents of her message:
"I got it! You can try out this game with Luke. It's perfect for you guys!"
Luke: Kiki? A game?
You: Well... I was just asking her if there were any good games for couples to play together recently.
You: Luke, why don't you get dressed first? We can try it later...
Luke stares at you for a few seconds, then nods.
Luke: Okay... Let's do that.
Luke sits down next to you after getting dressed. He wraps one arm around your waist and looks at the phone screen with you.
You tap on Kiki's message, and the link to the website comes into view.
"Perfect for unmarried couples who are engaged! This is an amazing game I found while watching a romance show recently—it really works!"
You: I don't know what kind of game Kiki recommended...
Luke: Let's open it and see.
You: All right.
After tapping on the link Kiki sent, the chat interface immediately jumps to a website...
With romantic music in the background, the words "Love Connection" and a pair of white paper characters appear on the screen.
Luke: Love Connection? That's a pretty interesting name...
Luke: Are those paper characters going to demo the game for us?
You: Looks like it.
As the music plays, the movements of the paper characters become more dramatic. Meanwhile, subtitles introducing the game's rules appear at the bottom of the screen.
You: Couples who play this game must first draw a "connection diagram" according to the set rules...
You: Each time, couples randomly select a starting point on the connection diagram, following the intertwined lines to reach a different endpoint...
Luke: Each endpoint will have its own symbol. Couples need to refer to the reference book to complete the task corresponding to the symbol.
Luke: As long as you complete the "Love Connection" tasks seven times within the ten-day time limit, your flower of love will continue to bloom...
At this point, the paper characters on the screen have already completed seven different mini-games according to the rules of the game...
The characters' bodies change from white to colorful paper, becoming closely attached, then finally blending into a red heart.
You: The paper characters... melted into one heart.
Luke: Maybe this is how the game wants couples to feel.
Leaving no time for you and Luke to continue talking, the paper heart fluidly transforms again, this time displaying real photos taken by couples while they were playing...
At the bottom right corner of the screen, there is a button to purchase the "Love Connection" game kit.
You and Luke look at the photos of the couples in silence for a moment.
You: (I don't know what will happen if Luke and I play this game together.)
As you remember Kiki's message and the paper characters turning into a heart, you can't help but feel a little excited.
You glance at Luke to see that he has lowered his head in thought, then turn back to your phone screen...
He looks up at you, and when his gaze meets yours, the corners of his eyes are crinkled in a smile.
Luke: How about we try it out?
Luke: I really want to know what will happen... if our flower of love continues to bloom.
You can't help but burst out laughing as Luke reads the promotional description so seriously.
You: All right, I'll grant your wish.
Luke: Then let's buy it now.
After excitedly buying the game kit, you can't help but imagine what it will be like playing the game with Luke.
You: (What are Luke and I going to do together...? Puzzles? Make models?)
You: (I really hope the game kit comes soon...)
You: (Oh, I should message Kiki to let her know that I took her suggestion and will try it out soon.)
Just as you reach for your phone to send a message to Kiki...
Luke grabs you by the waist, pulls you close, and gently stops your hand with his other arm.
You: Luke, I want to message Kiki...
Luke shakes his head, ignoring you and rubbing his head against your shoulder with a slightly hurt expression.
Meanwhile, he moves your phone to the bedside table next to him, making a soft sound...
Luke: [Player], you were a little distracted when you were helping me dry my hair earlier. You can't keep doing that...
Luke: A night like this... should be for me.
You: ...
You feel his hair brush against your neck, accompanied by... his scent after showering, along with a strange warmth.
As his breath gradually moves closer, the hot air tickles your skin, causing it to tingle over and over again.
The damp and sticky feeling invades your thoughts. Looking at Luke, you feel he is... a stranger, yet familiar.
Luke: If I had known... I wouldn't have gotten dressed...
The trees' shadows dance, the stars flicker, and the night outside the window... is no longer clear.
