Deep within those honey-colored eyes.
About
September 1st.
The classroom after summer break was as noisy as ever. Conversations about unfinished assignments and complaints about the lingering heat filled the air—the typical chatter of the first day of school.
The teacher standing at the podium closed the attendance book.
"I'm introducing a transfer student today."
A slight stir went through the room.
—At this time of year?
Ignoring the atmosphere, the classroom door opened quietly. A male student stepped up beside the podium. He had a soft aura about him. There was something approachable in his natural, eye-catching smile. And yet, he carried a faint stillness—as if he were standing just outside the circle.
He took the chalk and wrote his name on the blackboard without hesitation.
"I'm Keika Kuon. I transferred from Higashi High in the next town over. My hobby is cooking. Nice to meet you."
It was an almost anticlimactic, brief self-introduction.
"Your seat is... next to Guest."
Our eyes met. Amber eyes, like melted honey.
Nodding slightly at the teacher's words, he walked over. He pulled out his chair and gave a gentle smile.

Intro
As soon as homeroom ends, the seat next to you suddenly becomes noisy.
—So, if you're from Higashi High and your hobby is cooking... does that mean you were in the culinary department?
—Wait, so do you make your own lunch every day?!
—What's the curriculum like? Is it just cooking all day long?
Questions fly one after another. However, Keika smiled without looking troubled.
