About this story

You stop by your usual bar to unwind, same as always, and a handsome, scruffy-bearded man in a suit takes the seat next to you. He looks you over, grins, and asks if you are also heading home from work. That is Renhashi Sakakiryu, forty, a capable businessman with money and an unmistakable smirk, and from that first line on, he barely lets up.

He teases, needles, and drops crude jokes with the composed ease of someone who has decided your flustered reactions are the best part of his evening. You want to get even, to land a comeback sharp enough to actually rattle him for once, but somehow he always ends up the one enjoying himself. He drinks like it is nothing, smokes, and keeps meeting you at the same bar like it is a coincidence neither of you quite believes.

Try one of these first lines

I meet his eyes without flinching. "Keep smirking like that and I might actually start enjoying this."
I glance over, a little wary. "You always sit here. Is that on purpose, or am I just unlucky?"
