I'm hungry. Do we have something to eat?

Hmm? We're running low in food. I guess we need to buy later.

"Stop! Stop right there."

Why?

"Don't go out of the kitchen ok?"

What's with her now?

"I'm looking for something. This is a serious matter."

How serious...

........

"Hey.."

Hm? What is it?

"Please help me find it."

"You're the one who told me to stay here."

I won't move.

"Yeah! But..I can't really find it. It's very small and hard to see."

"Should I move then, from this position to yours?"

"Please do it slowly, It might break.."

...

*crack

What was that?

"I'm sure I heard something....cracked?"

"Yeah, I stepped on something.."

Contact lens?

"H-Hm? You did?..."

Her face became serious.

"Contact lens. Yes."

....

"I told you to move slowly!"

"I did! This wouldn't happen if you told me in the first place."

"Still! You're not careful enough!"

"You're one to talk!"

"Just get my glasses in my room, It's inside the drawers."

"Get it yourself, I'm not taking responsibility for what happened."

"No..It's my vision. I can't see that well."

"Fine, I'll go get it then.."

"On second thought, just guide me to my room."

...

"I can manage it here..thank you."

You sure? I feel like you're about to break something.

*crashed

Called it. "You fine in there?"

"O-Of course! No need to come inside."

I wasn't going to anyways.

With the tone of your voice. I doubt that you're fine.

"It's fine already. I found my glasses!"

You sure did.

She opened the door of her room. Her head looking down as if she doesn't want to be seen.

"I-I'm fine..see? Definitely nothing happened inside."

Definitely.

"Why are you looking down?"

"Nothing. Don't mind me."

"Who dares to disturb my slumber.."

What was that? "I heard something in your room."

"O-Oh! That? It's nothing. Really.

Suspicious.

"The voice was weird though."

"You see! It's one of those audio books!"

Huh.... An audio book. Well, she has a weird hobby.. I guess that makes sense.

"We'll buy food at the market, come on."

"Just wait downstairs! I'll fix something in my room."

"Hurry up."

.....

So.

"Sorry...I'm very sorry!"

You better be. It took you an hour to finish 'something' in your room.

"Next time, you'll buy our food alone."

"I told you... I'm sorry! It's something bad that I need to care of."

The audio book?

"Fine... But why are you so far away?"

"You're too fast.. I can't keep up."

"No. This is my normal pace. You're just slow."

Why is she being timid this time?

"Hm? Why did you stop?"

"You're too slow. I'm waiting for you."

"You don't need to! You can go first."

"I insist. I feel like with the way you're walking now, you'll bump in to a pole--"

*thud

"..Ouch.."

She did... As predicted. Why is she looking down in the first place.

She's being a total klutz right now.

"It's been bothering me for a while. Why do you keep looking down?"

"..Nothing.."

She's clearly lying. She can't look at me straight.

"Did you have a stiff neck?.. No, you were perfectly fine a while ago."

"I told you it's nothing..."

Hmm.. I'll make her say it.

"Look up"

"..Why?."

"Just do it."

I removed the glasses from her face and put it in my pocket.

"Wha-What are you doing?! Give it back...I can't see properly."

Oh. Her mood change.

"I refused."

"Why?!"

"Hm? It's the same thing? You keep hiding your face, how are you supposed to see what's ahead of you?"

She can't deny it. It shows on her face.

"It's embarrassing.."

Huh.

"There are people who hide themselves with glasses but you are the complete opposite.."

"It doesn't look good.."

What?

"These glasses..doesn't fit me at all."

You're too self-conscious.

"Is that why you hide your face?"

"..Yes."

"You see.. I don't know why you keep hiding your face but you looked fine. What I'm saying is, you looked cuter with glasses on."

"Really?"

"It's not that embarrassing. Here, I'm giving it back. Wear it properly."

"Hmmpf...Ok."

She put up a puffed face, but she still covers face..

"Don't hide your face!"

"F-Fine..."

She slowly lifts her head with her eyes closed..

Open your eyes.. What's the point of showing it if you can't even see.

"I-I'm good...Let's go, we still have something to do right."

She's normal again.

...Hmm, What was that speech?! That was embarrassing.. I even told her that she was cute..!

No No. That's just a description! That was meant to cheer her up! ..This is not good, my heart is beating fast.

*sigh.. Don't think. Don't think of her.

Forget it. Forget about it.

"Hm? What are you doing?..Pft..Hahaha. You're weird sometimes."

You're one to talk!

"Why are you blushing? Hehe."

"None of your business.."

She's playing with me. I'd say, It's much better if she stayed how she acts a while ago.

"I'm not buying you any sweets."

"Why!"

...........

"I saw the new student."

"You saw her? Where?"

"Look, I took a picture. She's with this guy."

A guy?

"Oh! That's Key. He doesn't socialize with others. Why is she with him?"

A girl like her.. With him?

"Why are they together..?"

"I don't know"

"Hmm~ Maybe it's their secret that we don't know of."

"Girls, looks like we found our prey to play with."
