In the nurse's office, the school nurse gently lifted Ayaka’s right ankle as she spoke. “Well, it’s a mild sprain. If you keep it taped up properly and rest, it’ll heal quickly.” Although her tone was somewhat brusque, the nurse carefully treated Ayaka’s injury. While securely taping Ayaka's ankle, she glanced at Haruto, who had been standing silently nearby. “For today, don’t put too much weight on your ankle. Got it? Since moving around school might be inconvenient, it’s your…-

The break after the third period. I headed to the changing room to change into my gym uniform for PE class. "It's still hot, and now we have PE outside? Ugh, this is so depressing." Saki, who was changing next to me, slipped her arms into her T-shirt and grumbled with a gloomy expression. "Totally. They should reschedule sports festivals to avoid heatstroke season." Agreeing with her, I unbuttoned my uniform shirt. "If someone collapses from heatstroke nowadays, it'll be all over the…

Monday morning. By the fourth period, the sluggishness of the weekend’s end had started to fade. In the changing room, Haruto and Tomoya stood side by side, switching out of their uniforms and into gym clothes. “P.E. before lunch is such a pain,” Tomoya said lazily as he changed into his gym pants. “You think so?” “Yeah, I mean, it’s hard to perform well when you’re starving.” “What are you, some spinach-powered sailor?” Tomoya shook his head dramatically at…

Shuichi, his face slightly flushed from the alcohol, savored the snacks Haruto had prepared. Feeling pleased by Shuichi’s reaction, Haruto sliced an onion and submerged it in a bowl of water. "By the way, Haruto, did you enjoy today’s date?" Shuichi asked. "Yes, I had a great time. It’s been a while since I visited an aquarium, but it was even more fun than I imagined," Haruto replied. "That’s good to hear. Ayaka must have enjoyed it too, right? She’s always loved aquariums since she was…

Haruto sat at the desk in Ryota’s rented room, staring at his study guide. Studying before bed had become a nightly habit for him. For a while, he focused on solving problems, but eventually, his pen stopped, and his gaze drifted absentmindedly to the ceiling. In his mind, Ayaka’s smile—which he had seen countless times throughout the day—floated vividly. "She’s so cute..." Thinking back to today’s date, he murmured quietly. Since starting his relationship with Ayaka, Haruto had…

“Mmm~ salmon really is delicious!” Ayaka took a bite of the seafood bowl that Haruto had shared with her, her face lighting up with happiness as the flavors melted in her mouth. “You can have some tuna too.” “Really? Then I’ll have a bite!” Ayaka happily took a piece of tuna and smiled with a satisfied "Yum," clearly enjoying it. Watching her smile, Haruto took a bite of the fried mackerel fillet she had ordered. The crispy batter gave way to the tender mackerel, releasing…

The penguin walk, a popular event at the theme park Haruto and Ayaka were visiting, was in full swing. A large crowd had gathered along the path to watch the adorable penguins waddle along. “There are so many people,” Haruto noted. “Maybe it’ll be easier to see them from over there,” Ayaka suggested, pointing toward a less crowded area. Holding her hand firmly so they wouldn’t get separated in the crowd, Haruto led her to a spot with fewer people. “From here, we’ll get a good…

Rocking gently on the train for about an hour and a half. After a few transfers, Haruto and Ayaka finally arrived at their destination. “We’re here!” Looking at the arched entrance gate of the theme park, Ayaka exclaimed excitedly. Seeing her enthusiasm, Haruto gave her a warm smile. “You look so happy, Ayaka.” “I’ve always wanted to come here, but getting to come for the first time with you, Haruto, makes me really happy!” “I see. Then let’s make the most of today and…

The morning after the post-test karaoke outing, Haruto felt the soft rays of sunlight filtering through the curtains as he slowly opened his eyes. Having somewhat adjusted to life in the Tōjō household since the start of summer break, Haruto stretched, got out of bed, and left his room. After washing his face and brushing his teeth at the first-floor sink, he returned to his room to begin his usual morning study session. The Tōjō household was still wrapped in silence, with no one else awake. The…

On their way home from the karaoke parlor, Haruto and Ayaka walked leisurely, their shadows stretching longer than they had during summer vacation. "Karaoke was fun, wasn’t it?" "It was. Ayaka, your singing was amazing." Haruto nodded in agreement with Ayaka's words and complimented her, making her blush lightly and smile shyly. There had been a minor incident earlier when Ayaka accidentally let slip that they had played the Pocky Game, leading Saki and Shizuku to tease them relentlessly.…
