Shimizu did what she was told to and waited for Sora.

Shimizu: Hmm... I wonder what he's up to...

《The sun started to set.》

Shimizu: Ha-... (It's soo...)

???: Pretty isn't it?

Shimizu: Sora, you're here...

Sora: Sorry for making you wait, this is for you.

Shimizu: Hm?

《Sora gave Shimizu a bouquet of colorful gerberas.》

Sora: I was gonna bring you at Cam's Flower shop but I thought that you'd miss the sunset.

Shimizu: Th-thank you for these flowers, that's so nice of you. Here, sit beside me.

《Sora sat beside her.》

Shimizu: You know what... this day was wonderful thanks to you, you managed to end it up with a beautiful sunset.

Sora: <chuckles>  I'm glad you liked it.

Shimizu: I would love to spend another day with you like this again sometime... (Waaaa, what did I just say?)

Sora: ...

Shimizu: If you're fine wit--

Sora: Sure, I'd love to.

Shimizu: Ah!... R-really? I'll look forward to it then.

《Then the two watched sunset.》

The sky was ablaze with color... fiery orange, searing reds, hot as the sun yellow and yet the outer edges of the blazing sky have begun to cool with the indigo of the night. A sunset is more beautiful than our mere words are capable of encompassing. If you've never seen this miracle... get to a beach and allow yourself to melt into such glorious scene.

Moments later, the sunset was already over.

Shimizu: Aw... it's already over?

Sora: Some time again... Come on, let's go.

《Then Sora accompanied Shimizu on her way to the Inn.》

10:53

Sora's P.O.V.

Oh shoot! I woke up late! I'm late for work! I quickly took my shirt off to take a quick shower.

Knock~ Knock~

Sora: Agggh... who's there? <opens the door>

《The moment I opened the door...》

Shimizu: Good Mor- Aaah!!!

Sora: Sh-Shimizu?!

Shimizu: <covers eyes>

Sora: Hm?

《I realized I wasn't wearing my shirt.》

Sora: Oh! SO SO SORRY! <hides behind the door> What are you doing here?!

Shimizu: I-I brought you something... I'll just leave it here... bye... <runs off>

Sora: W-wait!-- <looks out the door> she's gone...? What is this?

《I picked up the container she left at the doorway.》

Sora: It's fish... with... sauce?.. she made this?

...

Sora: Oh, right! I'm late for work!

《I put the container at the table and started to prepare myself for work. After preparing, I quickly ran to the clinic.》

Shimizu's P.O.V.

Good Morning, yesterday was great that's why I had a good night sleep~ Hmm... I should make something for Sora.

Shimizu: Hm~ Hm~ Hm~ Hm~ <skips to the kitchen> Oh, gooood mornin' Ryu~ <smiles>

Ryu: Ha? Mornin'? Did you eat something? You're blooming today... I don't feel good about it...

Shimizu: <giggles> Hey, you know what--

Ryu: Nope, don't wanna know.

Shimizu: Hehh? You don't want me to make you breakfast?

Ryu: Ah?! I mean... I take back what I said. Please cook breakfast for me. <puppy eyes>

Shimizu: Okay~

Ryu: She serious? She has never been like this ever since she was asked out when she was in Grade 5. Lol. Hmm, maybe... perhaps maybe... Oh my~

La~ La~ La~ La~ La~

Ryu: Hey.

Shimizu: Hm?~

Ryu: Where were you the whole day yesterday?

Shimizu: Guess~

Ryu: Hehh? You... uhm...

Shimizu: I spent my whole day withh???

Ryu: You spent your whole day withh... uh... Inu?

Shimizu: Nope~ Guess again~

Ryu: Oooooh~~~ Him?

Shimizu: Him who?~

Ryu: Your crush?

Shimizu: Kyaaaaa~~~ <blush>

Ryu: Pffffft. Guuurls this daysss... <rolls eyes>

《I made something special. Sole Meunière, a french dish I learned from cooking class. It took me awhile to finish it. After cooking, I put some of it on a container for Sora, and set the rest of it aside for Ryu.》

Shimizu: Done~

《I went to Sora's house.》

Knock~ Knock~

Sora: Aaagh... who's there?

《Then the moment the door opened, I was surprised.》

Shimizu: Good Mor-- Aaah!!!

《I saw his body. Uhmm, I was actually disappointed since he has this skinny... lanky YET a BIT muscly type of body. He looks unhealthy.》

Shimizu: ... <covers eyes>

Sora: Hm? Oh! SO SO SORRY!

《Then he hid behind his door.》

Sora: What are you doing here?!

Shimizu: I-I brought you something... I'll just leave it here... bye...

《I put the container on his doorway then quickly ran off.》

Shimizu: <sigh> Wrong timing Shimizu...

《But... the moment I saw his body... I knew that he was not taking good care of himself. Good thing I brought him food.》
