A Cheeky Childhood Friend Found a Suicide Note I’d Written for Fun a Long Time Ago, and as a Result, She Suddenly Became Very Clingy and Wouldn’t Leave Me
The study session was successfully (?) completed. And the rest is to be built up before the test.
However…..
“Goho ! Gah ! Ahhh…I’m completely exhausted… My muscles hurt all over my body… I’m so tired…! !”
When I woke up in the morning, I felt tired and cold which came at the same time. I had a cough, my nose was dripping, and I had caught a full-blown cold.
“You haven’t had a cold recently. You should take the rest of the day off from school.”
“Yea…..”
My mom checked the beeping thermometer, said so, and left the room.
If I open my eyes any longer, I feel like I’m going to go crazy because the ceiling is spinning around. Let’s go to bed and heal quickly.
I close my eyes and let go of my consciousness, hoping I won’t have the nightmares that come with a cold.

-Kaori’s point of view
“……I didn’t expect to be forced to leave early. ……”
It’s weekday, the hands of the clock are pointing up, and I’m already on my way home.
When I heard that Serito had caught a cold, I tried to take the day off too, but my mom stopped me and sent me straight to school. But I was so worried that I began to have withdrawal symptoms, and they told me, [You look scary so you should leave early…..].
Anyway, I’m glad that I was able to go to see Serito safely !
“Pardon the intrusion ! I wonder if Seriju’s mother is out.”
I arrived at Serito’s house and tried to open the door, but it was locked, so I used a duplicate key to get in.
Alone in his room…..high fever….lonely death…..!?
I threw my bag on the ground and dashed to the room where Serito was.
“Serito, are you okay !?”
“Ugh…..there’s a meatball devil….. Call the devil hunter…..”
“You’re okay, but you don’t seem okay…..”
Serito was asleep in his bed, muttering in his sleep for some reason I don’t understand.
I was relieved for a moment, but I couldn’t watch him sweat in pain.
I wanted to do something for her, but I was too sorry if I woke her up and made her cold worse.
I changed the cooling sheet that had returned to room temperature and was stuck to his forehead, and just kept gazing at his sleeping face by the bed.
“Nn……ummm……?”
“Oh, Serito, are you awake?”
Serito groaned and opened his eyelids slightly to look at me. He was not moving in silence, as if he had not grasped the situation.
But the next moment,
–Gui.
“Heh?”
He caught me by the arm and pulled me into the blanket as if he was pulling his prey into his den. Not only that, but he started sleeping with me in his arms like a pillow.
“Hawawawa !!? W-what are you doing…..!?!?”
“I got a body pillow…….”
Perhaps, no, he is definitely dreaming.
I’ve always had a tendency to not catch a cold, so it’s probably okay for me to get this close to you, so it’s not a problem. …However, things are not okay in many ways.
(I-I can’t believe he’s giving me such a passionate hug again…..! Uhehe♡ If you do this for me, I’ll get a cold again–)
“I wish he had a cold again”. Such a lousy thought, which I should not have thought of, came to my mind.
I was so disgusted with my own thoughts that the happiness I had felt just a few minutes ago had finally vanished.
I began to wonder if it was okay for someone like me to be taking care of Serito’s cold, and I tried to pull him out of my arms, but he wouldn’t let go.
“S-Serito…..?”
“……It’s all right, Kaori.
You don’t have to look so anxious,……. You’re a good girl…….
“Huh!? Um, what do you mean by that…”
“Gooo……”
With sleepy eyes, he hugged me and stroked my head, but then he let go of consciousness again, as if the battery had died.
My heartbeat was beating so fast that it seemed to echo throughout the room, and even though I didn’t have a cold, my face was starting to get hot.
Serito is really kind…… I still love this side of him……
After this I decided to go home and leave it up to Serito’s mother when she got home.
I’ll definitely get a good score on the test. Besides, he’s doing a lot for me. I will never repay his kindness with betrayal…! !
“Okay, let’s do this !”
I raised my hands and motivated myself to study.

“Ummm……..”
“Oh my, you’re up. I made you some porridge, do you want some?”
The next time I woke up, my body was somewhat lighter. The next thing I know, my body is somewhat lighter and my stomach starts growling from the porridge my mom brought me.
Well, I think I ended up having a nightmare that I don’t really understand.
“Oh, by the way, don’t forget to thank Kaori chan later, okay?”
“Hmm? Why?”
“She came to visit. She also replaced the cooling sheet for you.”
“Oh, really? …..Hm? What about school?”
I had a feeling that I had met her in a dream, but I couldn’t recall it because of my headache.
Well, it’s probably nothing serious.
I thought optimistically and proceeded to eat my porridge.
