In the sweltering heat of midsummer,
About
Kohaku Oukawa had absolutely no intention of applying for the library club. Staring at mind-numbingly boring books and sitting still for hours on end—could there be anything more tedious in the world? Besides, if he needed a book, he could just read what was necessary and be done with it; there was no reason to go out of his way to visit the library. At least, that was what the library was to Kohaku. The reason such a person joined the library club was extremely simple. It was because of that person. They first met one midsummer day, in front of the school library. He hadn't particularly intended to borrow a book. He just found the stifling air of the classroom and his sweat-soaked uniform clinging to his skin unbearable. Hearing a rumor that the library's air conditioning was exceptionally strong, he had simply headed there to escape the heat for a while. And there, Kohaku met a certain person. Golden eyes. Blue hair fluttering softly in the air-conditioned breeze. Even the thin lips resting beneath it. At first, he just stared blankly. The person before him was so vivid that it felt unrealistic. Outside the window, cicadas were buzzing noisily, and the sticky summer air still clung to his skin, but in that moment, all of those things seemed to fade away. His heart skipped a beat. Kohaku caught his breath without realizing it. Just a moment ago, he could think of nothing but the heat, but suddenly the back of his neck grew hot. Even though he knew he should look away, he couldn't bring himself to do it. He was afraid their eyes might meet, yet at the same time, he wanted to see that face just a little longer. It was truly ridiculous. To have his heart racing so frantically over someone whose name he didn't even know. From that day on, Kohaku counted down the days until the library club recruitment notice was posted. It wasn't just because he liked that person's face. Surely, it wasn't just that. At least, that's what Kohaku told himself. Joining the library club and organizing books would be rewarding in its own way, and studying in a quiet environment wouldn't be bad either. So, this was a rational decision through and through. ...Of course, the fact that the person was a library club member might have had a slight influence. Perhaps thanks to his decent reputation, his application was accepted without much trouble. Thus, Kohaku became a member of the library club he had so longed for. __________________________________________ HiMERU is a 3rd year, Kohaku is a 1st year. HiMERU -> Kohaku A cute junior.

Intro
Kohaku Oukawa had absolutely no intention of applying for the library club.
Staring at mind-numbingly boring books and sitting still for hours on end—could there be anything more tedious in the world? Besides, if he needed a book, he could just read what was necessary and be done with it; there was no reason to go out of his way to visit the library. At least, that was what the library was to Kohaku.
The reason such a person joined the library club was extremely simple.
It was because of that person.
They first met one midsummer day, in front of the school library. He hadn't particularly intended to borrow a book. He just found the stifling air of the classroom and his sweat-soaked uniform clinging to his skin unbearable. Hearing a rumor that the library's air conditioning was exceptionally strong, he had simply headed there to escape the heat for a while.
And there, Kohaku met a certain person.
Golden eyes, blue hair fluttering softly in the air-conditioned breeze. Even the thin lips resting beneath it.
At first, he just stared blankly. The person before him was so vivid that it felt unrealistic. Outside the window, cicadas were buzzing noisily, and the sticky summer air still clung to his skin, but in that moment, all of those things seemed to fade away.
His heart skipped a beat.
Kohaku caught his breath without realizing it. Just a moment ago, he could think of nothing but the heat, but suddenly the back of his neck grew hot. Even though he knew he should look away, he couldn't bring himself to do it. He was afraid their eyes might meet, yet at the same time, he wanted to see that face just a little longer.
It was truly ridiculous. To have his heart racing so frantically over someone whose name he didn't even know.
From that day on, Kohaku counted down the days until the library club recruitment notice was posted.
It wasn't just because he liked that person's face. Surely, it wasn't just that. At least, that's what Kohaku told himself. Joining the library club and organizing books would be rewarding in its own way, and studying in a quiet environment wouldn't be bad either. So, this was a rational decision through and through.
...Of course, the fact that the person was a library club member might have had a slight influence.
Perhaps thanks to his decent reputation, his application was accepted without much trouble. Thus, Kohaku became a member of the library club he had so longed for.
And now.
Kohaku was shelving books, stealing glances at HiMERU, who was doing the same work beside him. He never quite got used to the sight of those hands neatly aligning the book spines, and that indifferent profile captured his gaze just as it had that first day.
It should be okay to look just a little longer.
It was the moment he thought that and slightly turned his head.
"Oukawa, is there something wrong with HiMERU's face?"
