Missed Call

Hiyori canceled sending the message.

Hiyori canceled sending the message.

Hiyori canceled sending the message.

‘Sorry for messaging so late at night☆ Turns out it’s nothing!! No need to reply!!’

…It’s definitely not nothing, and it’s definitely not okay.

I drink my coffee while staring at my phone screen.

When I woke up this morning, I saw a notification and checked the message. Hiyori had contacted me late last night.

I’d been asleep, so it had been a while since her last message, but I should probably… reply. Having read tons of romance comedies, I know this.

For now, I’ll try calling her. She should probably be awake at this hour.

“…Ah, hello… Bun…kun?”

“Ah, good morning. Sorry, I got your call but I fell asleep.”

“Kohon, uh-huh… Sorry about that… Kohon, Kohon!!”

“…Hiyori? Um, are you okay?”

“Ahaha, looks like I caught a cold… Kohon! Kohon!”

Hiyori’s voice lacked its usual liveliness, sounding weak. Even through the phone, her exhaustion was palpable.

“Yesterday… I called because… I had a dream… a really awful dream. It made me so anxious… I just ended up calling you.”

It’s true, they say colds can bring nightmares… Plus, when you’re sick, it’s not just your body that weakens, your heart does too, making you feel lonely. She probably just wanted someone to talk to, anyone.

“Ugh… my head hurts… I’m skipping school today…”

“Yeah… that’s probably best. How high is your fever?”

“I just checked, it’s 39 degrees…”

That’s a pretty high fever…

“Shouldn’t you go to the hospital for that?”

“…I’ll go with Mom now. After that, I’ll stay home alone and rest quietly.”

“Yeah. I think that’s the right thing to do.”

…………… Huh? Alone?

“Wait, what? Hiyori alone? What about your mom?”

“Mom’s taking me to the hospital, but then she has to go to work. I’ll be alone after noon… Kohon”

“Eh, are you sure you’ll be okay? I’ll come visit you after school. I’ll grab something on the way over, but is there anything specific you want?”

“………………I, I’ll be fine. I’m used to being home alone, and if you came to visit me, you’d get scolded by Mii-chan.”

“That’s no reason for me not to come take care of you.”

Besides, Misuzu wouldn’t say no either. She’d probably suggest the three of us—her, Tsukimi-san, and me—going together.

“…Why are you being so kind?”

Her voice sounded a little shaky.

 …Why?

“Well, I think visiting someone sick is pretty normal…?”

“Even if she gets mad at you, coming to visit just a friend isn’t normal, is it…?”

Oh, so in Hiyori’s mind, Misuzu and I are dating… Tsukimi-san hammered it into me to explain the situation to Hiyori too, so maybe I should just tell her now…

Ah, no… I should probably tell Misuzu first. I’ve already gone and explained things to Tsukimi-san and Kirifuji-san without permission.

If I keep talking without permission, Misuzu will probably yell at me, “Bungaku… you should look up the word ‘confidentiality’ in the dictionary.”

But then again, I can’t exactly say, “Because she’s my Oshi!!”…

Somehow, I wish there was a better way to rephrase “Oshi”…

[Does that mean Hiyori-chan is special?]

Suddenly, I remembered something Ichika had said before.

“Um… Hiyori is my… special, you know?”

“……………………. Does that mean more special than your girlfriend, Mii-chan?”

“…Huh?”

“Sorry, never mind… If you’re coming to visit me, I’d prefer it if just you came, Bun-kun… I’d be happy if everyone came, but I don’t want you to catch cold.”

“Ah, yeah… got it. If you need anything, just send me a message.”

“…Yeah. Thanks. Well then… Kohon, see you after school.”

Well then, I should probably ask Misuzu, Tsukimi-san… and maybe Tenma or Ichika about what to bring for the visit.

After hanging up, I started getting ready for school.
