Takeaways from Therapy Game Special Chapter - 冬の夜の思い出

Hi lovelies! 💜❤️💛

Hope you've all been well! 🥰

Thank you for being so patient with me! Honestly, the next couple of weeks are going to be a little busy for me, so I tried to make time tonight to write this short takeaway!

First of all, this edition of Dear+ features this special poster featuring our beloved dorks Shizuma and Minato, as well as Mito-san and Shouhei (and is that Georgia??)!

Aren't they adorable?? 😍 And yes, I already carefully removed it from the magazine! 🤣

Anywho! This chapter is really short (4 pages, to be exact), and it's titled "冬の夜の思い出 -- A memory from a winter's night".

Since this chapter is really short, I'll just go straight into our summaries! So without further ado, please continue after the cut for the complete summary (plus a surprise, as usual~ 😉✨)

This chapter takes place right after our beloved Shizuma and Minato started dating. Shizuma has been at Minato's place--at Minato's invitation--since morning studying for the upcoming National Veterinary Examination in one week! Shizuma, still focused on his studies, looks exhausted as he sits on the living room floor, reading and notetaking on his textbook.

Right behind him, Minato is seated on the sofa, also looking tired, but not from studying, no. He's wondering when Shizuma will take a break and give him some attention. Catching on, Shizuma reminds Minato that he promised not to interrupt Shizuma's studies, and in return, Shizuma will shower him with all his love and attention after his exams.

Minato replies that he knows that already. Looking on at a very visibly tired Shizuma, Minato recognises that his request (that Shizuma would, at least, come study at his house during the busy time right before his exam) was a little unreasonable, but he's also a little surprised/slightly irked that Shizuma won't lay a hand on him, even though he's right there!

Minato tries to tempt Shizuma to take a break, saying that Shizuma looks like he's on death's door and that he must be tired. He offers to do anything to help Shizuma out, maybe something to 'heal' him. Shizuma asks Minato if he'll actually do anything, and Minato says yes, very excitedly at that.

Unfortunately, the request was not what Minato was hoping for. Instead, Shizuma asks Minato to buy him some nutritional supplements, eye drops, and chewing gum. We see Minato walking back home from the store during what seems to be a very, very cold night. He thought Shizuma would, at that moment, ask for a 'sensual' massage, and he begins to think why he's out here, on a cold winter's night, doing something so 'normal'...

Minato reaches his apartment and blows on his icy cold hands to try and warm them. He speaks aloud to tell Shizuma that he's back and has bought the requested items, so he's hoping that Shizuma can give him even just a little attention. As he looks into the living room where they were, he finds Shizuma curled slightly under the coffee table, asleep.

Annoyed that he's sleeping, Minato wonders why Shizuma didn't think to make better use of this time by making love to him! He looks again at his cold hands and has an idea--he lifts Shizuma's shirt to put his cold hands on his stomach!

Shizuma is surprised by this, and jerks his body in reaction to the cold! He sleepily tells Minato to hold on a moment and that his hands are cold. Minato thinks that Shizuma is mad him when Shizuma grabs his hand, but...

And that’s it for this chapter! THANK YOU FOR READING THIS FAR! 💜 And thank you again for being so patient with me! I hope you enjoyed this very adorable, albeit short chapter! Very domestic vibes I'm getting here. Is Sensei teasing us with domestic life Shizuma and Minato? Hehe 🤭

EDIT 2022-04-05: Oh goodness, where has the time gone? Thank you for waiting! Not too many typos this time around, but a few changes in word choices, aha! Also, sorry there's only one image preview--I honestly didn't have any extra time! 😭

📢 As always, please support Hinohara-sensei by purchasing her books, CDs, and merch! 📢

There will be a chapter in next month's Dear+, so I shall see you all again then to find out what happens next! 🥰
