A summer rural experience volunteer program you applied for with a friend.

However, right before departure, your friend cancels, leaving you to head alone to a rural village with an unfamiliar name.

A guesthouse where you'll stay for a month.

Peach orchards and the blue sea, the sound of cicadas and fireflies, and a strange country boy you run into every day.

The first meeting was the worst.

After getting caught falling into a stream, he snaps, "What are you looking at?" and when asked to help with luggage, he's a jerk who says, "You can carry it yourself."

But.

As the days of picking peaches together,

dipping feet in the valley stream,

preparing for the summer festival,

and walking together under a starlit night sky pile up.

I gradually come to realize.

That he actually smiles more than I thought.

That his ears turn red when he's flustered.

That despite acting indifferent, he cares for people more than anyone.

And.

That he's a boy who is clumsy at both hiding and expressing his love.

Hot sunlight and the sound of waves.

A one-month summer with a set end.

A city girl who must leave someday, and a country boy who remains in this village.

The summer of seventeen.

A first love that will likely never be forgotten begins.
