If I bought the ingredients asked for at the supermarket and went home, I'd already be sitting on the couch waiting at midday at the house around the corner.

It's quite a sight to see and as usual, but if not, midday is holding the cushion and knees on the couch.

It looks like the posture a child takes when he is stubborn, but with the expression of disgrace rather than being stubborn, Zhou also has trouble doing things with his eyes because of his cuteness.

It was a long skirt and Zhou turned a subtle blind eye. Once he went to put ingredients in the fridge and went back to the living room, there was midday to peek at this one.

I looked to the side as I sat next to him and subtly midday was distracting me.

"Midday, thanks for yesterday. It was good."

"... that's good"

I know you probably care about yesterday, but I should say thank you, so to be honest, I buried my face in the cushion about half way through the middle of the day.

"What do you want in return?

I didn't mean to give it back.

"I know that, but I knew I should return my sincerity, right? What's left of it is that men get rid of it."

As for the circumference of the creed that I should give back what I received, I am not going to give up what I deserve because I was bothered to make something so delicious.

They haven't given it to the boys first, and they seem to have made it according to Zhou's taste, so it should be a hassle.

"... because I get a lot from Zhou-kun"

"I think I'm just getting better at it. You're always cooking for me, and you're just making me look after you."

"That's what I like to do.... Zhou-kun doesn't realize that maybe he did this to you. But I'm getting it, that's fine."

As for Zhou, I gave him something in the middle of the day, and I don't think there's anything going on. I'd rather give it back because I'm still getting it, but it doesn't seem like it for midday.

"But that's it, this is this. … well, I'll think of something you might like."

Even if Zhou was unconsciously giving something, that and White Day's payback would be another thing.

It is a kind of courtesy and indispensable that I return it to White Day because I got chocolate for Valentine's Day.

I'm not going to give in, and when I stared at midday, he nodded while subtly letting his gaze wander "... yes".

"In the meantime, I have a month or so to think about what to give. I hope I can find something I might like."

"... can you afford it? Next week, I'll finish the year-end exam, and in a little while, it's a closing ceremony."

Point out that midday was slightly frightening, but the end-of-school examination does begin next week.

There was a Valentine's aftertaste all over school today, but it would be time to move on to the tingling mood before the exam.

As for Zhou, it may not be particularly urgent.

"The examination can definitely be advanced if we do as usual, and I'm not in any hurry now. It'll be the same at midday."

"Right, because affordable initiatives are important"

I take my studies very seriously, so I rarely have any problems with the exams.

I think I can maintain my usual grades without rushing to study, and I've actually done so. Precisely a little longer than usual before the test.

They're ahead of class content in the first place at midday. They're the same type that doesn't need a preview review, so I don't even see a rush. Wouldn't it be easier for her to have an exam with an early schedule?

"Don't expect me to wait."

"... Yes. I'll take care of everything Zhou-kun gave me."

"Such a big deal."

"Kuma also takes good care of you"

Apparently, he also takes care of Kuma's stuffed animal, which he sent for his birthday.

I had seen the key case used at midday and it seemed to be used beautifully. Then I was also anxious to see how Kuma's stuffed animal was... but from what it looks like at midday, he seems to like it a lot.

Kuma, what a lovely way to call it. Although my mouth was about to loosen at midday, I managed to keep an eye on it because I was about to be stared at.

If we're still together like this this this year, what shall I give you for your next birthday...... I couldn't wait.

At midday, I'll give it back and laugh, and at midday, I'll stare at this one.

"... Speaking of which, I don't know Zhou-kun's birthday"

"Oh, is that mine? I'm on November 8th."

Speaking of which, I never told you. When I told you about my birthday, my eyes narrowed at midday...

We've been together for months, so I'm starting to understand, but this look is from when I'm slightly angry.

"... hey Zhou-kun"

"Hmm?"

"We knew each other as well back then, didn't we?

"Right."

"Why didn't you say so?"

"I don't know because they didn't ask. You didn't tell me that. I saw your student ID, and I realized it."

"Ugh."

"In the first place, you didn't get along this far back then. What are you talking about for your birthday? It's gonna be him."

It's my birthday, no matter what I say at midday, I probably only returned "is that right" at midday back then.

As a circumference, I didn't like it when you seemed to be demanding things, and I'm not that shameless.

I just didn't say it because it wasn't a relationship of trust I could say if I didn't have to.

"... but"

"You don't have to worry about anything, do you?

"... then, this year's birthday, we'll celebrate properly"

As midday, I was sorry, I turned to Zhou and grabbed the sleeve of my clothes all the time and proclaimed.

I guess I don't care if they don't. Zhou smiles, unable to smile, in a more serious way than he did in his own time.

I'm really glad you said that... and I usually smiled with joy.

In the end, I was more than happy to think that I was going to be next door to Zhou at midday.

"You promised to stay with me until then."

Unexpectedly, in spilled words, round the caramel colored eyes with clear daylight - then, in an instant, dye your face red and tap around the sleeve where you were gripping Posan until earlier with the cushion you were holding.

He was ashamed of what he said to me face-to-face.

It was a clear eight strikes that the lights were hidden, and Zhou was about to loosen his mouth again to a smile.

"... nothing, Zhou-kun, I don't hate you, and... I'll stay with you and calm down, okay?"

Oh, thank God.

"... nothing else."

'Cause that's how much I know.

I was pushed, so I let him snort, and for some reason he looked subtly dissatisfied.
