What Should I Do If My Boyfriend Won't Listen? Just Beat Him Up.

◎ As always, the pacing is slow and very much my style. It's not that cathartic either, so I hope it won't frustrate you too much, quq.

◎ I actually wanted to write a serious childhood-friends romance, with an easygoing coming-of-age story, but neither of them is normal, w.
