We ran around and played for a while.

I was panting, my breath coming in shorts, as I bent over and Rain came over and handed me a bottle of water.

A cute chick shaped water bottle.

It was clear that there would definitely be cool water in it.

I took Rain’s water bottle and drank it in one go.

As I was gulping down the cool water, I felt Rain’s gaze on me.

“Hmm. Why?”

Why are you staring at me like that?

I asked her with a look of wonder.

Then, Rain quickly turned his gaze and shook his head.

Rain has been acting a bit strange lately.

I licked the water flowing down around my lips and then handed the bottle to Lane.

As soon as Lane got the water bottle back from me, he gently touched the water outlet.

“Let’s have lunch!”

As I was lying in the yard resting my tired body, Amy shouted.

Now that I think about it, I’m starting to get hungry.

It seemed like it was earlier than usual for him to eat, as he didn’t hear Rain’s lunch alarm.

I jumped up from my seat and ran to Amy.

Amy was coming out into the yard carrying a large basket in her arms.

As Shine and I were talking earlier, he went into the house, and it seemed like he was going to get lunch.

“Wow…”

Amy’s basket contained soft bread, cheese, ham, and various vegetables.

I knew right away what she had prepared.

“Sandwich!”

“That’s right. It’s a sandwich.”

As Amy spoke, she spread out a large mat in the middle of the yard.

A mat with a soft texture and moderate weight gently pressed down on the grass.

We immediately took off our shoes and climbed on top.

The feeling of the grass crunching and crumbling was transmitted through my toes.

I couldn’t hide my pounding anticipation as I tried to put my hand into the basket Amy had put down.

I wanted to eat quickly, quickly.

But Amy’s hand grabbed mine, preventing me from reaching into the basket.

“Huh?”

“You all didn’t wash your hands.”

I looked at my hands at Amy’s words.

After rolling and rolling and rolling with all my might, and even climbing a tree, my hands got really dirty.

I nodded and jumped up from my seat.

Shine also looked at her hands and then got up from her seat.

She was no different from me.

But Lane didn’t stand up, and when I looked down at her to see why, she raised her finger.

The little fingers that had flashed upward shook gently as if following the rhythm.

The movement of those cute fingers stole my attention, and at the same time, small water droplets bloomed around Rain.

The water droplets reflected the sparkling sunlight and sparkled brilliantly.

The sight was so beautiful that I couldn’t help but stare blankly.

“I’ll clean it for you!”

Rain’s water droplets flew gently and moved gently, wrapping around mine and Shine’s hands.

A water droplet that ripples and rotates.

The water filled inside instantly washed away the dirt on my hands.

It’s a really good skill.

I thought so.

Shine and I, who were able to clean our hands with Rain’s help, just sat down.

“It’s clean!”

It was really clean.

As I showed Amy my sparkling hands, Lane said with a proud expression, puffing out his chest.

“How is it?”

Amy gave a small smile at Lane’s appearance, then raised her hand and patted his head a few times.

Then a very, very happy smile appeared on Rain’s face.

I started making sandwiches with great care.

Place the bottom slice of bread, then ham and cheese, then ham, ham, ham, ham, cheese again, and two thin slices of tomato.

A sandwich that looks incredibly delicious was completed with just the right amount of ketchup, mayonnaise, and honey mustard sauce.

I picked up the sandwich with trembling eyes.

Just the right thickness, just the right size for my bite.

It was a truly perfect sandwich.

I opened my mouth wide and took a bite of the sandwich.

bout-

As the soft bread came into contact with the saliva and slowly fell apart, the ham and cheese inside flowed out softly.

As my slowly moving molars pressed down on the sandwich, the sweet sauce hidden inside spurted out at once, harmoniously wrapping around the rest of the ingredients, sending a huge wave of flavor crashing over my tongue.

“Is it that delicious…?”

I couldn’t even answer Shine’s question, so I just mumbled and trembled.

It was then that Shine’s face suddenly came closer and she bit into the sandwich I had in my mouth.

Our eyes met across the sandwich, and as I looked at her with my shaken, flustered eyes, Shine’s mouth slowly began to move.

The little lips that were licking were so close.

The breath that was slowly leaking out from the tip of his nose poured down onto his face.

My heart, which had been beating slowly, started to beat faster, and I began to feel a strange heat rising in my body.

Mumble, mumble – Shine’s mouth, which seemed to be moving slowly, is getting closer and closer.

Judging by the way her eyes curved into beautiful crescent moons, she seemed to like the sandwich quite a bit.

It was the same for me too.

I couldn’t give up such delicious food.

Is it because I had such thoughts?

My mouth moved on its own and I stuffed the rest of the sandwich into my mouth.

As our faces got closer and closer, Shine’s nose and mine gently collided.

I opened my eyes wide in surprise at the feeling of soft skin, and Shine laughed out loud.

At the same time, the sandwich began to tear.

Unlike me who was surprised, Shine pulled her mouth open and grabbed the ham that was not yet torn.

Then, the ham that was halfway in my mouth was sucked out and ended up in Shine’s mouth.

Shine, who had sat back down, mumbled with a satisfied expression.

For some reason, my lips felt hot.

I turned my gaze urgently and looked at Lane and Amy.

Lane seemed to have missed the previous scene because he was so focused on the sandwich he was making.

In front of her was a sandwich as big as her head.

Amy also seemed not to have seen the scene just now.

Judging from the way he was tapping away at his phone, it seemed like it was a work-related message.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

“It’s delicious.”

Shine’s small voice dug into my ear.

It’s delicious. I don’t know why that one word sounded so embarrassing, but I lowered my head, recalling the feeling of the ham slipping out of my mouth.

My saliva must have been all over it, but Shine paid no attention and munched on it deliciously.

Is it really delicious?

I wanted to ask that, but my mouth wouldn’t open.

I reached out with trembling hands and made another sandwich.

You’re not going to steal it this time either, are you?

As he was carefully trying to bring the sandwich to his mouth, Lane screamed.

“Gyaaaah!”

Could this be the voice of a girl in despair?

When I turned my gaze urgently at her scream, the sandwich that had been in front of her was shattered and scattered around.

The remains of a sandwich tower with ham, ham, cheese, ham, ham, cheese, egg, bacon, ham, bread, and more ham and cheese.

When I looked at the ingredients scattered everywhere, I saw that there weren’t any vegetables in it.

Lane’s mouth was smeared with red ketchup and mustard sauce.

Judging by the lack of teeth marks on the scattered ingredients, it seemed that the large sandwich unfortunately did not fit into her mouth.

Rain looked around with a blank expression.

“Rain!”

Amy, as if this wasn’t the first or second time this had happened, put away the cell phone she was looking at and started organizing it right away.

I dumped all the ingredients that I couldn’t eat into one place and wiped the mat with a wet tissue.

I handed the sandwich I made to the still sad Lane.

“Okay. Eat this.”

“Thank you…”

Rain took a bite of the sandwich I handed him.

I was taken aback by her behavior.

Rain was told to hold it in his hand and eat it, but he just took it and ate it with his mouth.

Eventually, I couldn’t take my hand off her until she finished eating the whole sandwich.

Rain, who had been mumbling blankly, only then realized what he had done and his face turned red.

“Me too.”

At that moment, Shine, who was quietly making a sandwich next to me, gave me the sandwich she had made and said.

What do you want me to do?

As I was blinking with that thought, she forcibly put a sandwich in my hand.

I absentmindedly raised my hand and offered the sandwich to Shine.

Then, she slowly put the sandwich in my hand into her mouth, just like Lane did.

Yum yum – small lips slowly approaching.

I wiggled my fingers at the movement.

Shine’s mouth wouldn’t stop.

He took one bite, two bites, and kept biting into the sandwich until he finally stuffed the entire sandwich into his mouth.

Her small lips and tongue gently touch and fall against my fingers.

I guess he licked the ketchup that was slightly on his finger? That’s the right way to think about it, right?

A strange heat enveloped my fingers.

I wiggled my fingers and mumbled.

“That, uh… is it tasty?”

“Yeah. It’s really delicious.”

Shine, who answered my question, was looking at my finger.

I hastily hid my hands behind my back.

Is it because I’m starting to get hungry?

I took out my cell phone from my pocket.

Would it be better to talk?

Or would it be better to just continue enjoying this time?

A huge balance is drawn between happy times and missions.

“Hey. Amy!”

It was the moment when I was about to take my cell phone out of my pocket, having made up my mind.

Amy took a box full of chocolates out of the basket.

The chocolates in the pretty box looked so delicious that I swallowed hard and shoved my phone deep into my pocket.

“Huh?”

“Oh, it’s nothing…”

Wouldn’t it be okay if I told you a little later?

The scales in my mind tilted heavily to one side.

Amy’s basket was full of other delicious things besides chocolate.

From soft, smooth and sweet fruit jellies to dinosaur-shaped candies.

I munched on the chocolate Amy put in my mouth.

Just eat up to this point.

Seriously, just eat this.

Seriously.

Seriously.
