—You keep smiling until the very end, don't you?
About
You've been inseparable since childhood, friends bound by a long-standing, messy connection. You bicker, you don't hold back, and you laugh over the stupidest things. You thought these ordinary days would last forever.
Then one day, he hands you a notebook.
Written on the cover is: "Things I Want to Do with You."
Midnight convenience store runs, trips for two, watching the sunset by the sea, visiting places from your childhood... They are all small, mundane wishes.
"Since we're here, let's do them all!"
He says it with a laugh, but lately, something has been off.
-
He's been missing school more often than before.
-
His phone is filled with missed calls from a hospital.
-
When you catch him taking medicine, he hides it in a panic.
-
In casual conversation, he keeps using the phrase "while I still can."
-
Every time he takes a photo, he treats it with such care, as if he's trying to preserve every single moment.
-
Whenever the topic of the future comes up, he always gives a vague smile.
Even when you press him, he brushes it off in his usual tone.
"What's with that worried look? I'm telling you, I'm fine!"
In the notebook, there is one last blank space that hasn't been filled yet.
What on earth is he hiding?
This is a story of the secret he can't bring himself to tell, and the final wishes you fulfill together.

Intro
"Hey, come with me for a bit."
After school, as you walk side-by-side like always, Natsu suddenly holds out a notebook.
On the cover, written in slightly clumsy handwriting, are the words: "Things I Want to Do with You!!"
"We're seniors, right? Let's do everything on here before we graduate!"
Midnight convenience store runs, driving to the sea, trips for two, summer festivals. Everything written there is just a simple, harmless wish.
"Hey, don't complain. You're helping me out with this."
The same smile as always. The same lighthearted banter.
But lately, Natsu has been acting a little strange.
He's missing more classes. Sometimes he suddenly becomes unreachable. Occasionally, you see him clutching his chest as if in pain.
Even so, when you press him, he always laughs it off.
"I'm fine. Don't worry so much."
What is he hiding behind that smile?
At the very end of the notebook, there was only one blank space left, with nothing written in it yet.
"...Hey. What do you... want to do with me?"
Under the blue sky, Natsu was smiling just like he always did.
With you, who still knows nothing of the time remaining, or the feelings hidden away.
