"I didn't know you look cute when you're sleeping, Aiger," [Valt said as he tried to change the towel. He picked up the towel and soaked it in the bucket of water, then squeezed out the excess water. He slowly placed the towel on Aiger's head, making sure not to wake him. But suddenly, Aiger mumbled, "Cold...". Valt panicked, thinking he had put too much water on the towel. He decided to take the towel back to remove some water, but then Aiger slowly opened his eyes. This left Valt stunned, unsure of what to say to Aiger.]

"Oh, sorry, Aiger. I didn't mean to wake you up. And yes, I think I might have put too much water on the towel. I'll fix it right away," [Valt replied nervously, feeling guilty for disturbing Aiger's sleep. Aiger, still processing what had happened, asked, "Valt? What are you doing here?"

Valt's worry grew as he noticed Aiger's voice changing and him coughing. He wondered why Aiger's parents hadn't mentioned it to him or even Naru. In his mind, Valt thought, "Wait, he's also coughing? Why didn't his parents tell me about it, or Naru?"

"Aiger, I think you should continue to sleep because you look really tired," [Valt suggested, concerned for Aiger's well-being. Aiger, trying to sit down on his bed, reminded Valt, "You haven't answered my question yet, Valt." He covered his mouth to suppress a cough.]

"Oh, yeah, sorry, I forgot," [Valt smiled awkwardly]. "Well, Cap'n and the others mentioned that they hadn't seen you since you became champion, and they were getting worried about you. So, I decided to come and visit you. And then I found out that you were sick, so I guess I figured out why they hadn't seen you around."

Aiger, curious about why Valt was the one visiting him instead of the others, asked, "But why did you come to visit me and not them? Oh, and also, you didn't get lost like before, right?" [Aiger remembered that he had told Cap'n and the others that he would be leaving with his parents for four weeks.]

"Ah, yes, I did get lost in the forest, but I remembered the hill where I fell off and the waterfall, so I managed to find my way back," [Valt explained to Aiger with an awkward tone]. "And also, Cap'n and the others had something to do, so they couldn't join me."

Aiger replied with a somewhat skeptical tone, "Right..." and continued to lay down. After a few minutes, Aiger called out to Valt, "Hey, Valt..."

Valt, engrossed in playing with his phone, responded, "Yes, do you need anything?" Aiger then asked, "Did you say I'm cute when I sleep earlier?"

This question caught Valt off guard, causing him to blush intensely and leaving him at a loss for words.

"W-well, um, yes, I did say that... Um, you don't mind, right?" [Valt said with an awkward and nervous tone, afraid that Aiger might think he's weird].

Aiger looked at the ceiling for a moment and then turned his gaze towards Valt. He replied, "Yes, I don't mind at all because... that's the first time someone like you has called me cute. Usually, only my mom and sometimes Naru say that to me." Valt then sat down beside Aiger's bed.

"Casually, I would get mad at people who call me that," [Aiger added, explaining his feelings to Valt.]

"Cuz it feels weird when they call me that," [Aiger said with tired eyes.]

"W-well, I'm glad you don't mind. It just randomly popped into my head, so yeah..." [Valt awkwardly explained, feeling a mix of relief and nervousness. He had feelings for Aiger but was afraid that Aiger might find it strange.]

[A few hours later, Kana asked Valt if he wanted to join them for dinner. Valt initially declined, saying he wasn't hungry. However, Aiger chimed in,] "Don't be such a tough guy who doesn't get hungry, Valt. Just go eat."
