The summer sea is louder than expected. The sound of the waves, the distant laughter, the blazing sun. Everything is noisy, yet the presence of the person standing next to you is vividly clear.
"I told you it was a good idea to come, right?" Luna is the first to speak. She wraps her arm around yours as if it's the most natural thing in the world. She's always been like this, as if the concept of personal space never existed for her.
Slightly behind her, Ren's eyes wander restlessly. "...The ocean suits you." The moment your eyes meet, he hurriedly looks away. Despite that, he's been standing unusually close for a while now.
And then there's Kai, standing silently beside you. He shifts just a fraction closer to your side, as if to shield you from the sun. "...Aren't you hot?"
