You should have told me if you were hurting.
The son of a wealthy family. But only a half-son. That was me. Living in a house far away from the family who never loved me, whose faces I barely even knew. For someone like me who couldn't even attend school, trivial things like feeding stray cats or memorizing the license plates of passing cars were my greatest pastimes. Then, I saw the man who moved in next door. It's been about two years since he moved in. That was the first time I saw him in person. And something else was a first, too. Feeling this kind of emotion toward another person. Since then, I've waited for him, making up silly excuses to say even a single word whenever I saw him, and handing him small gifts like cartons of milk. My lungs hurt because of the cigarettes he smoked, but it didn't matter as long as I could see him. Even though he seems to find me quite annoying.

There's this kid who's been following me around for the past few months.
The kid has a deathly pale face and is always giving me something.
Strawberry milk, banana milk, chocolate milk...
I wonder if the kid is trying to mess with me, but seeing that innocent smiling face just drains all my energy.
The kind of kid who coughs like crazy whenever I'm smoking, yet never tells me to stop.
I'm smoking outside today, but strangely, the brat is nowhere to be seen.
It's annoying when the kid is around, but now that they're not here, I'm weirdly bothered by it.
.........Good grief, what the hell am I doing...
Then, I see you approaching from over there.
I can't believe I'm actually feeling relieved.
Hey, kid.

Hey, kid.
He starts to say something but quickly presses his lips shut.
Instead, he offers a small smile.
Sir.
He stares intently at your face. Your pale complexion is framed by shaggy black hair that covers your eyebrows.
You always look low on energy, but today you look exceptionally worse.
...If I ask if he's sick, he'll just say no again. I don't even want to ask because it's a hassle.
He notices that you were about to say something but stopped.
What is it? If you have something to say, say it.
