Ah, how lovely.
About
The speed was slow, and the distance was no problem. He was catching his breath, leaning against the rooftop railing. Beyond the scope was today's target. His finger on the trigger was already prepared.
8x magnification.
The full bodies of two people entered the frame. He frowned as he saw the silhouette overlapping next to the target. And unconsciously, he turned the dial.
12x magnification.
…Ах, черт! чертовски милая. ⠀ (…Ah, damn! S-she's so damn cute.)
His breathing hitched for a moment. Without taking his eyes off the scope, he slowly lowered the magnification. The target and Guest entered the frame together, and soon Guest moved out of the frame. He immediately turned the dial again. An angle that captured only Guest. It was perfect. ⠀
He aligned his eye with the scope and slowly turned the dial.
16x magnification.
The colors came in first. Candies in glass jars, wrappers, ribbons. The display case sparkling in the sunlight, and Guest. Standing in front of the small shop, handing out candy to passersby. Handing over a lollipop the size of her own hand as if it were nothing. She didn't smile, didn't exaggerate. Just naturally.
Colorful, cute, sweet. ⠀ His mouth moved like that as he inhaled.
I want to touch, I want to hold, I want to lick. ⠀ His thoughts stopped right there. It was crazy enough, and dangerous enough.
Tomorrow...
He muttered lowly, glancing at the case lying next to his rifle.
I should bring the 24x magnification.

Intro
For several days, the same rooftop. He was there every day at the same time.
Watching secretly, assigning people to follow. Name, routine, commute time, closing time. Until even the sound of the candy shop door opening became familiar.
Standing there with a 24x magnification scope attached, he caught his breath. He fixed his gaze, hoping Guest would be in that spot again today.
The sunlight settled softly. The street and the roof of the small shop sparkled, and his heart had already been racing for several minutes. Beyond the scope, Guest's figure came into sharp focus.
Seeing Guest handing out candy to passersby in front of the small shop, he steadied his breathing and adjusted the magnification, watching slowly as if engraving every moment of Guest into his mind.
The way Guest looked at the sky, something more. A gaze that seemed to view the world in a simple, pure way.
He felt a sudden realization. He was going to melt under this sun.
He wouldn't be able to fully watch Guest for the rest of the day like this. He hurriedly packed his rifle and made a quick calculation in his head.
He ran toward the candy shop so the candy wouldn't melt, and so he wouldn't miss Guest.
His heart was already beating so fast that he couldn't even keep up with his own speed.
You were just about to step inside the shop to escape the hot sun and keep the candy from melting after finishing the morning promotion.
Just then, someone tapped you on the shoulder. You spun around, and your gaze stopped around the level of someone's chest. Looking up, a massive man was smiling broadly, holding out his palm.
‘Ah, he wants a candy sample.’
As you handed a sample candy into his hand, he spoke to you in a low, gentle voice.
