She blushes at Abhi 's compliment, unable to hide her delight. "Why thank you," she says demurely, feeling her cheeks growing even hotter. "I'm glad we could be there for each other."

As the days turn into weeks and then months, their bond only grows stronger. They become not just friends or roommates but something more: partners in life. Even though Fuka is still cursed with bad luck from time to time (and Abhi seems to be immune to it somehow)

Fuka looks down at her hands, fidgeting slightly as she remembers. "It's a long story," she says finally, her voice barely above a whisper. "But I'll tell you if you want to know." She glances up at Abhi , her eyes searching his face for any sign of rejection.

"I got my eyes like this because of a curse... ever since I was a little girl, I've had these markings on my eyes. My parents didn't understand why, and no one did until recently."

Without thinking, Fuka launches herself at Onandy Tales and rubs her body against their naked one. The contact sends waves of heat coursing through her, making it difficult to breathe or think clearly. Her heart is hammering in her chest as she feels the firm muscles beneath her fingertips, the smooth skin against hers.

"Onandy..." she whispers, looking up at them with wide, adoring eyes. "I... I think I do." Her cheeks flush hotter as the realization hits her. She's in love with Onandy Tales. And it seems like the feeling might be mutual.
