Bungo Stray Dogs: Mr. Dazai, Please Love Me

Yinwei Yiyue is a prince of the vampire clan, with absolute authority and enough power to toy with the world.

The Yinwei clan spends its entire life searching for its destined partner, but he himself has no idea what love is.

When he sees that man, he knows he has found him. But no one has ever told him what love is or how to love someone.

He expresses his love in clumsy ways.

Just when Yinwei Yiyue thinks he has found the one, reality deals him a heavy blow.

Watching his beloved throw into the trash the pastries he spent so long making, turbulent emotions flash through his eyes.

He doesn’t cry when his beloved hits him. He doesn’t cry when his beloved uses him. He doesn’t cry when his beloved puts him through every kind of torment.

But when he sees his beloved laughing and joking with someone else, while always treating him coldly, a wave of bitterness rises in his chest until he can hardly breathe. He doesn’t understand what this feeling welling up inside him is.

He uses every ounce of his strength to save the most important person in his beloved’s life. Gripping his beloved’s sleeve, he looks into his eyes, then lets go. He watches his beloved carry the so-called friend into the light. He smiles, and a tear slips from the corner of his eye.

Watching his body slowly turn transparent, he murmurs at his beloved’s retreating figure:

“It really hurts. I regret it. I hope we never meet again.”
