"Hanabi-chan."
"Hmm..." The girl's response was filled with shyness and endless tenderness.
"I need... to get something to drink."
"Okay..." She adorably laid her head on his chest, still showing no sign of wanting to part.
The girl's cuteness was both an indulgence and a difficult internal struggle to overcome.
Uesugi Sakura braced himself for a while before reluctantly pushing her soft body away from him. Even as they parted, he could still feel the warmth where she had rested her head on his chest and smell the fragrance emanating from her youthful body.
"Sakura-kun... come back quickly..."
"Alright."
Uesugi Sakura glanced at the girl sitting cross-legged on the bed rubbing her eyes. He got out of bed and stood in front of the bedroom door; then he looked back at her once more. Upon seeing her smile foolishly at him, Uesugi Sakura pushed the door open and stepped out of the bedroom.
Walking into the living room wearing slippers.
