[It’s raining.]

“Sorry for the lateness! Something cropped up at the last minute.”

“Senpai?”

“What are you hiding?”

“Really?”

“You’re hiding a letter at your back, aren’t you?”

“As I thought.”

“On my way here, I passed through a guy who was cheering. He blurted out your name, so I just guessed.”

“Please tell me what happened. What’s in that letter?”

“Is that a love letter?”

“Why are you staying quiet?”

“If you’re troubled by it, then you should reject him quickly.”

“You weren’t prepared?”

“The letter was given by force? Don’t tell me, he wants to date you?”

“You don’t know? You shouldn’t accept that letter in such insincerity!”(??)

“Accepting a love letter means that you have the same feelings.”

“That is an irresponsible action.”(?)

“Why am I mad? That’s because I li-!!”

“Um..”

“Wait, senpai!”

[02.53]

“Dear senpai,

When we first met, it was the season of the fresh leaves. It’s still embarrassing to think about that time, but if I compare it to the good memories I’ve had with you, it brings me a smile. The letter that you picked up was a love letter that I didn’t have the courage to send. I was sad. I searched for an empty place and cried. I didn’t think anyone was there, and I was shocked when I heard your voice. It’s strange to unexpectedly meet someone in such an unexpected place…(?) If that didn’t happen, I wouldn’t have met you. I’m originally a timid person. I don’t like being laughed by anyone. Even when drawing, I can’t draw in public. However, after talking to you, little by little, I’m able to draw in front of people. Cheering you up may have encouraged me as well. However, I’ve scared you. I got jealous, took it out on you, and arbitrarily put pressure on you. I’m really sorry. If you would forgive me, will you come to my house next time? There’s something I would like to show you.

Miyama Kasumi.”

“You came. We can talk as we walk, let’s go.”

“It’s not a large house, but honestly, I like it because it’s surrounded by natural environment.”

“Yeah, I’m already used to wearing college uniform, but these are more convenient. I wear kimono when I’m at home because it’s more comfortable. Well, that’s okay because I’m the second son. This house is free for me to use also because it’s the second house. I was surprised to see the house which had the kimono shop was designed in a Western style.(?) Alright, please come in. The thing I wanted to show senpai is inside here.”

“It’s small but surprisingly decent, isn’t it? Actually grandfather was just curious of the design and hired a British architect to build a full-scale of it. The living room, dining room, and the sunroom(?) are in the first floor. On the second floor is my study room. Here are the stairs to go to the second floor, if you may.”

[07.25]

“Sorry for the mess. It’s a study room but it feels more like workshop, isn’t it?”

“I told you before, right? My dream is to be a dressmaker. I like to go out and buy dressmaking materials on my holidays. I’m really happy when I look at these clothes and think about achieving my dreams.”

“Before I got to know senpai, I would always be painting here. Recently, I haven’t been using my painting tools. I’ve been painting together with senpai a lot. Back then, I used to paint outside, but people would always make fun and look down on me for painting because I’m a guy. I really hated that, so I painted inside because no one could judge me. I wanted to give up on everything and follow the society’s expectation of men, but as expected, I still couldn’t abandon my dreams. I don’t want to put up with their wrong views and be someone not me, like following the ‘acceptable’ man jobs. I want to make my own dream come true. No, I have to make it come true.”

“I came to think that way after talking to senpai. I haven’t showed this room to my family. I haven’t showed anyone this room that is filled with all my aspirations and determination. I haven’t let anyone in. I’m glad I showed this to senpai. I really want to make it happen. I don’t want to hide anything from you want to show all of me.(?) From spring to autumn, as the young leaves turn to red, my feelings for senpai also grows day by day. I love you. Will you accept my feelings?”

“Senpai?”

“Um, please tell me, when a women touches a man’s hand by her own accord… You’re scared, but you’re not trembling, are you?” (?)

“No, that is my fault. I suddenly said such things, anyone would be surprised. There’s no doubt that I was scared… When you received love letter from other guys, I couldn’t stay calm at all. I thought you’d surely hate me and that we couldn’t hang out together again. But I don’t want to keep these feelings to myself until it’s too late. If it’s a no, please clearly reject me without mercy!”

“Ah… No way… Really?”

“Senpai! I thought… I had no hope…”

“I’m sorry! I was too happy so I just…”

“Is it okay to hold your hands?”

“It’s warm…”

“Senpai… please close your eyes.”

“Nope, you can’t open your eyes just yet.”

“So soft… Are all lips are so soft, or it’s just senpai’s lips..? I want to know senpai more… I want to touch more… Is it okay?”
