From the terrace, I looked up at the stars while enjoying the sea breeze.
In the distance, there was the constant roaring of waves. Just the sound of it brought my mind back to the beautiful ocean I saw during the day.
The children were quite tired, and they had started nodding off since the middle of dinner.
Guy even fell asleep in the middle of shoving food into his mouth.
“Are you still out there?”
“Aa. We already have to go back tomorrow, huh.”
“We can come back.”
“…….Yeah.”
Jill came out of the bath and stood behind me.
Feeling the slight heat of a warm body near my back, I thought—
I never thought that he would make such a promise to come back here together.

Wishing for the future or anything uncertain would without fail hurt in the end. Hence, I hated doing it.

Jill was so close to me that I could feel his breath.
“……”
Neither of us said anything.
It was as if we were trapped, unable to escape from the silent stare between us.
In Jill’s eyes, my figure was reflected.
In my eyes, similarly, he should be able to see his figure.
The blood pumping loudly through my veins heated up, like it was boiling and then—naturally, we pressed our lips to each other’s.
“Mmm.”
A hot tongue slipped into my slightly opened lips.
Like welcoming it in, the tip of my tongue brushed against it. When I did that, his tongue lapped at mine, as if to entwine around it, and a sweet-sounding voice escaped from the back of my throat.
“Nn, wait, Jill.”
When I pushed his chest back, Jill parted with me reluctantly. As he pulled away, he licked my wet lips, making my face heat up from shame.
“There’s something I have to tell you.”
This might not be necessary since Jill could read the heart.
But I wanted to properly put it into words.
I believed that even if the words were the same, they carried a different meaning for each and every one of us.
That was why I wanted to convey them properly.
“…….I like Jill.”
“—!”
I took his large hands in mine, and laced my fingers around his rough, bony ones.
Jill froze up in surprise, as if his breath had been taken away.
“I like you. I’m not just agreeing to go with the flow. I’ve properly thought about it…… If, if I could accept a kinder world, then it would surely be with Jill by my side.”
That was why I wanted to be by Jill’s side.
Tomorrow, I would become stronger than today’s me. Strong enough to trust in Jill, strong enough to not let go of living.
I wanted to be much closer to Jill, so he wouldn’t have to worry over things all by himself.
I was certainly a burden to Jill, wasn’t I.
But. Even though I knew that. Even so, I wanted to be close to him, and live out tomorrows together with him.
Nobody know what tomorrow will bring so just live it up.
