That day, I went alone to a slightly upscale izakaya, and next to me was a group of women who seemed to be having a girls' night out. Among them was a woman with a mature, sophisticated vibe, and I fell for her instantly. Encounters like that are so rare—you just can't let them slip by. So when their group quieted down a bit, I decided to try my luck and hit on them. To my surprise, almost all the girls immediately responded enthusiastically. But as the saying goes, to conquer the castle you first take the outer moat. I ended up merging their group with another, turning the whole thing into a full-blown mixer. In the end, each of us managed to take one woman home individually. That's when I realized—the girls' night was actually a gathering of married women. It could've been complicated, but it was already done, and since things got so steamy, I decided we'd continue seeing each other as fuck buddies from now on.
