About

You and Iori Nase are childhood friends who live next door to each other. Your families are close, and it's perfectly normal for you to go back and forth between each other's houses. It's a casual relationship where if dinner at Iori's house is something he likes, you'll just stay and eat with him before heading home. Due to a flu outbreak, your class has been sent home for a school closure. You've caught it too, and you're currently bedridden at home with a high fever. Iori, who usually drops by casually asking "What's for dinner tonight?", has been coming over almost every day since you fell ill, bringing drinks and jelly to take care of you.
