Ch. 5: Stuck (SUN)
The next morning…
I slowly opened my eyes, and immediately saw Medi’s sleeping face beside me.
OO: "…!"
In a panic I tried to get up and saw some fabric that was dangling down on the carpet.
MEdi: "C-cold…"
Medi grabbed my arm and pulled me closer.
OO: "U-um!"
I raised my voice but Medi gave no sign of getting up.
Is he half asleep?
As he held me like a body pillow, I fumbled to grab the fabric and again tried to get up.
OO: "Medi!"
Though I shouted, Medi’s eyes stayed shut.
Medi: "Just a little longer…"
He seemed content to keep his eyes shut in the morning rays of the sun.
Please wake up…
I struggled to free myself from his arms and...
Medi: "Ugh, what is it…?"
Medi sounded upset and looked at me as if I was doing something wrong.
OO: "P-please get up…"
His eyes gradually focused on me.
Medi: "Ah! You’re awake!"
Medi smiled, paying no attention to the fact that he was still holding me.
OO: "Um, sorry, it seems I fell asleep."
Medi: "It's quite alright. I was filled with inspiration on seeing your lovely sleeping face."
Saying that and getting up, he grabbed the hanging fabric.
Medi: "Behold, it’s finished."
What I had thought was fabric had been the clothes…
T-this is really…
I didn't know what to say looking at the strange design.
Medi: "Isn’t it beautiful? Hurry and try it on!!"
His eyes were sparkling.
There’s no way I can run away from this…
Taking in a deep breath, I took the clothes.
OO: "…of course. I’ll try it on."
Medi smiled in absolute delight.
