Nijika paused for a moment.
At this time, her sister should have already gone to the Live House.
As for Ryo, she told her yesterday that she was busy all weekend, so she probably wouldn't come looking for her either.
So who could be knocking on the door?
Pat... She hopped out of bed, slipped on her slippers, walked out of her bedroom, and went to the entryway.
When she opened the door... she froze instantly.
Her eyes, still a bit sleepy moments ago, immediately sparkled, her pupils filled with surprise.
"Eh, eh, eh?"
Standing outside the door was, of course, Fumiya Jin.
He was holding a bouquet of mixed pink and white roses.
It wasn't one of those exaggerated, oversized bouquets; there were only about a dozen or so flowers, but it was exquisitely wrapped.
The rich fragrance of the flowers rushed in as the door opened, seeming to seep straight into the young girl's tender heart.
"Y-You... what are you doing here? Didn't you say you were busy?" Nijika's fair cheeks flushed slightly, just like the pink roses in the bouquet.
"I am busy," Fumiya Jin said with a straight face. "I have a lot to do next, so I can't stay here for too long."
"Huh?"
Nijika was bewildered.
Seeing Fumiya Jin here, she had thought the "business" he mentioned was coming to hang out with her.
But now it seemed that wasn't the case...
Was he just stopping by to see her for a moment before going off to do his errands?
The feeling of surprise naturally diminished by a large margin...
However, Nijika was an angel, after all.
On second thought, Fumiya Jin was so busy, with so many things to do, yet he still made time to see her... Doesn't that mean he cares a lot about her?
How could she possibly complain?
"Alright," Nijika said, scratching her cheek. "You're this busy on the weekend too...?"
"Of course," Fumiya Jin thought for a moment and began to list things off: "I have to take Nijika out for breakfast, go shopping with Nijika, buy clothes, watch a movie, find some good milk tea with Nijika, go to the snack street for lunch with Nijika, and then find a suitable love hotel to rest for a bit...
A rough count and it's already that much. It'll be tough to finish it all in just one morning. We'd better hurry."
As Nijika listened, she froze.
Although it seemed like some rather questionable items had been mixed into the list he mentioned.
But at that moment, Nijika's focus wasn't on such details; it was entirely on the bigger picture...
"Hey, wait!" Nijika's beautiful eyes widened. "All these things you mentioned, they're all ... they're all... with me?"
"Yeah," Fumiya Jin nodded as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "All my plans for this morning are to hang out with you."
"So when you said you were busy, you meant..."
"I meant being with you," Fumiya Jin shrugged. "Is there a problem?"
"Ah—"
Nijika stood stunned for two or three seconds.
Her cheeks turned visibly crimson.
Then... she suddenly lunged at Fumiya Jin.
You have to understand, Fumiya Jin was still holding a bouquet of flowers.
With the way she was lunging, if she actually threw herself into his arms, the flowers would definitely get crushed.
Fortunately, Fumiya Jin reacted quickly, immediately holding the bouquet in one hand and moving it to his right.
Only then did the girl fall into his embrace, her soft body bumping against Fumiya Jin's.
It didn't hurt at all; instead, it was fragrant and soft.
"Why so excited? Don't ruin the flowers I spent money on," Fumiya Jin teased.
"Who cares about the flowers..." Nijika wrapped her arms around his waist, buried her head in his chest, and took deep breaths of his scent, acting like a little lovestruck girl.
"You big jerk, you haven't come to see me for so many days, and when you finally come to see me, you... you even tease me on purpose...
Seriously... I really thought you were just going to see me and leave. You're the worst!"
Fumiya Jin smiled, raised his left hand, and gently stroked the girl's small, blonde head.
"Don't you have more confidence in yourself, my dear Nijika? Even if I really had something to do, spending time with our little angel would definitely take priority. Who could resist when Nijika is this cute?"
"You're just saying that... hmph," Nijika pouted, feigning disbelief, but the corners of her lips curved slightly upward.
"So, what should we do first?" Fumiya Jin pinched her slightly feverish cheek. "Have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet..."
"Then let's go. I'll take you to breakfast."
"What about the flowers..."
"Just leave them at your place."
"If my sister comes back and sees them..."
"Just say your boyfriend gave them to you."
"What...? Since when... were you my boyfriend...? How come I didn't know..." Nijika turned her head away, a little bashful.
"It doesn't matter when. We are now," Fumiya Jin gently lifted her pale chin with his hand, making her raise her head to meet his gaze.
Then he lowered his head and gave her a peck on her pink, moist lips.
It wasn't a long kiss.
Just a peck.
But the girl's face immediately turned a complete mess of red, so hot it felt like it was about to steam.
"My cute little angel... will you come with me?"
"Mmm... w-wait..."
"What? Still not willing?"
"That's not it..." The girl lowered her head and took the flowers from his hand. "I'm going to find a vase to put the flowers in, otherwise they'll be withered by the time we get back..."
... ...
Having breakfast at a wrap place.
Strolling through a pedestrian street and playing arcade games for half an hour.
Getting milk tea at a bubble tea shop, the two of them bought just one large cup and drank from it with a couple's double straw.
Watching a one-and-a-half-hour movie, and leaning against each other as they watched...
The morning passed. They both had a great time, and the distance between them grew comfortably and unconsciously closer.
After finishing lunch around noon, they took a walk and sat down on a bench in the park...
Fumiya Jin quite naturally wrapped his arm around the girl's waist, pulling her into his embrace.
Nijika struggled a little against this, since there were still other people walking around the park occasionally, and it would be a bit embarrassing to be seen.
But this small struggle was obviously ineffective.
So she finally ended up in Fumiya Jin's arms.
"Did you have fun today?" Fumiya Jin gently rested his head on the girl's shoulder, and asked softly.
The corners of Nijika's lips lifted slightly, but she shook her head. "I didn't have fun..."
"What part wasn't fun?"
"It was only one morning..." Nijika pouted. "If it was for a whole day... oh no... a week... oh no, a month... then I'd be happy."
"A whole month," Fumiya Jin pinched the girl's fair nose. "Do you want to be a high school dropout? I don't mind, I could support you even if you dropped out... but would your sister really be okay with that?"
"I was just saying! You don't have to consider the possibility so seriously!" Nijika pouted. "I know it's impossible... It's just... I'm a little sad to see it end so soon..."
"But it's not over yet," Fumiya Jin said. "There's still one more thing we haven't done."
"Huh?" Nijika paused. "But it's already past twelve. Don't we have to meet up at two to talk about the game? What else is there to do?"
