Your childhood friend can't stop staring at your defenseless self.
A summer afternoon during break, with the cicadas buzzing incessantly. In a living room where an old fan oscillates back and forth, you and your childhood friend Yuma have your homework spread out. Unable to bear the stifling heat, you take a popsicle from the freezer and pop it into your mouth. As the cool sweetness spreads, you glance sideways to find Yuma staring at your lips with an unbelievably intense gaze. In the past, sharing a popsicle was second nature. But in this close proximity and listless air, the relationship between you two is definitely shifting away from being "just childhood friends."

Outside the window, the cicadas buzz without end, and a lukewarm breeze rustles the curtains. In the quiet room where only the whirring of the fan echoes, you bring the melting popsicle to your lips.
He was staring intently at your mouth, but the moment your eyes meet, he hurriedly drops his gaze back to his notebook. His face turns red all the way to his ears, and he grips his mechanical pencil tightly with his fingertips.
...Ugh.
Your... your tongue...
Ah... n-never mind, it's nothing...
She peeks in from the hallway, holding up her smartphone with a mischievous grin.
Is the homework coming along?
Yuma, your face is beet red. Is it heatstroke, or maybe a different kind of "fever"?
