after waving through old memories there stood the figure of a lone girl this is a story of the MC's first love when he was in kindergarten The Story begins on a rainy day in the park a boy with an umbrella walks by and notices a girl sitting on a bench with the rain pouring down over her while staring at the girl the boy notices that she appears to be feeling down he recognizes her as Soo MAOI a girl wellknown throughout the school despite her popularity she rarely attends classes and her bright blonde hair along with
her striking appearance may have contributed to the negative rumors surrounding her she gives off a Vibe of not wanting to get close to others in short she's an unapproachable girl the boy didn't realize they attended the same middle school until he noticed they were in the same class without hesitation he dashes over to her and covers her with his umbrella shielding her from the rain he then asks is your name saom San surprised she replies aamor kuin he asks her what she's doing at the park and she responds that she's not really doing anything concerned
he tells her she'll catch a cold if she stays out in the rain but she insists she's fine and tells him to leave her alone aamori wonders if she really expects him to just say oh okay and leave her there as he looks at her more closely he realizes her uniform is dirty and her skirt is full of creases he then comments on how heavily the rain is pouring and asks why she hasn't gone home yet while looking down she quietly mentions that she doesn't have a home startled he asks what she means by that
from the moment he saw her this blonde girl surrounded by bad rumors sitting alone in the rain aamori had a feeling something was seriously wrong something she couldn't talk about with others he then asks if she'd like to come over to his place she asks what he means and he mentions that after all she can't stay at the park forever he doesn't know what's troubling her but suggests she think about it slowly somewhere out of the rain and wind so Tom asks if it's really okay with him he says absolutely if you're fine with it
of course when aamori saw saom San's expression he remembered she would always make this kind of face so to responds no yes that would be very helpful thank you he lets her know they can go now and like that he brought the class loner girl home at akam mori's home he shows her his place and tells her to make herself at home she says pardon my intrusion aamori tells soome to First go and take a bath he gives her a towel and some clothes that she can change into if she's okay with it she looks
surprised he tells her the bathrooms on the left side of the corridor she thanks him and he raises his hand showing it's no problem aamori starts wondering what he's doing he thinks of how they may be classmates but is it really all right to let someone especially a girl that you're not well acquainted with into your house no matter how you look at it it's got to be something Troublesome is there even a need for him to voluntarily stick his nose in it but even though he understands the situation the reason he couldn't leave this
blonde girl who he normally doesn't talk to alone is probably aamori couldn't just ignore her right there and then anyway but then again want to come over it's quite bold of him to say that kind of thing he didn't expect her to actually agree though but depending on the way he's thinking he feels like this might actually lead to a positive outcome according to that magazine article he read a while back in the case where a girl accepts your invitation to come to your house it seems like it's also okay to do this and that
aamori is thinking of questionable things and possibilities he tries stopping himself from thinking saying definitely not let's say that happens no doubt it's got to be a trap rejecting a woman's advances is a man's shame maybe but then what if you were told that she didn't give her consent he heard plenty of Stories on the internet about guys who got their lives destroyed because of that he imagines Soom saying it's okay aamori kuin then he rushes out of excitement and while ready she takes his phone and calls the police the police then quickly get to
his place after that he tries to explain to the police officer saying no it's not what it looks like officer it's not as if I was feeling guilty the officer then asks not even a tiny bit he says well maybe a tiny bit then the officer puts handcuffs on him arrested he'll be saying goodbye to his Springtime of Youth he can go on and live a better life in his next one aamori is cooking fried rice and while doing so he thinks about how he's not interested in antisocial blonde girls he argues with himself in
his thoughts saying no graceful prim and proper Beauties are more my type he shakes it off trying to come back to reality suddenly he hears a clack sound and so is done bathing aamori appears surprised she says thank you for the bath and asks if something is wrong he blushes saying oh uh no a girl who just got out out of the bath is wearing his clothes this is simply the best aamori just finished preparing dinner he tells her they can eat together so to apologizes saying she's sorry for troubling him he tells her not
to mention it she eats and compliments it saying it's delicious she adds that aamori is really good at cooking he says it's just fried rice though aamori didn't expect they'd have a normal conversation he mentions that since he started Living on his own he guesses his cooking has gotten someone better she asks if he's living on his own he agrees and mentions that he's temporarily living on his own right now after getting his high school acceptance results his father's job transfer was also decided since he was about to enter High School it wasn't possible to
transfer schools so his father mother and sister all moved out first he'll follow them later when he enters 10th grade so Tom responds saying I see he mentions that's why if it's all right with her he wants her to tell him something of course he doesn't intend to blab and since he's going to transfer schools anyway there's a low risk of it leaking he then mentions that she said she doesn't have a home and asks what she means by that of course if she doesn't want to talk he won't press for an answer so Tom
responds saying when she was little her parents got divorced and she's been living with her mom ever since just the two of them they were poor so in order to make ends meet after entering high school she started skipping classes to do part-time jobs however when she got home after finishing one of her part-time jobs her mom was gone aamori asks if her mom left a note or something so Tom shakes her head just a while back her mother got herself a new boyfriend that's why she believes that's the reason she might have left with
him after that the landlord told her that they'd been behind on rent since she didn't have enough money she took whatever she could carry and left the apartment and when the remaining money that she had was starting to decrease as well she had no other choice but to go to the park inconvenience this is just too unbelievable eloping with your boyfriend while your own daughter is working hard to help with the family finances forget looking at it from the daughter's perspective even as a person this is so messed up that aamori is starting to feel
dizzy he asks her what she's going to do from now on so Tom doesn't know what she'll do after hearing this aamori says if she doesn't have anywhere to go she can stay at his place for the time being she responds saying what no no any more than this is just she adds that she's already causing him enough trouble as it is by just entering his house she probably feels troubled and is on her guard more than anything else aamori promises he won't pull any dirty tricks on her while she's staying with him he lets
her know she can use any of the empty rooms in the house as she wishes so Tom appears speechless aamori then reassures her that he won't speak about her situation to anyone and Promises since this has nothing to do with him he could just leave it alone even if you stick your nose into other people's Affairs there's practically nothing that a high schooler like him can do he can at least understand that much but after hearing saom San's circumstances there's no way he can just leave her alone and the thing that made him like that
is the memory of his first Love That Girl Was Always by herself in the corner of the classroom looking lonely she would mostly never reply even if they spoke to her still he can't help but be curious when he saw saom San at the park it felt as if her lonely figure overlapped with that girl he might be feeling a lingering regret for not being able to be there for her back then so to asks if aamori is okay with her staying in his house he responds saying yeah we've got to help each other when
troubled right she asks if she could be in his care for the time being he agrees and says there's something he wants her to promise him he asks her to promise that he's not going to ask for rent or utility fees from her her so she should do her part-time jobs in moderation also he wants her to come to school and get her normal lifestyle back she processes everything and while doing so aamori smiles she then says she understands she thanks aamori just like that their cohabitation life had begun akam mori's face is red as
he's blushing thinking about how he's using the same bath that saom San was using just a while ago he stops himself from thinking about it saying no no no what the hell am I thinking along with some concerns it's a brand new day and aamori is making breakfast as he prepares to go to school he cracks an egg and continues cooking one night has passed since he brought saom San home while cooking he wonders how long it's been since he last ate breakfast since it's too much hassle to make he usually just goes straight to
school without eating breakfast but it wouldn't be right to make saom San do the same and that's why he made breakfast today by the way aamori let saam San use his little sister's room of course that means she's sleeping in his little sister's bed aamori is proud of himself to be honest last night he did imagine that something like this would happen but reality was not kind to him not even a tiny bit but anyway to think that the bed his family left whenever they want to come over to check up on him would be
used this way that helped him out greatly suddenly aamori looks at the time wondering if saom San is ready for school aamori starts overthinking as he stands up up thinking there could be a possibility that she was drenched from yesterday's rain and caught a cold he walks upstairs and knocks on the door asking if she's all right he opens the door slightly and takes a peep and sees she's still asleep he walks towards her feeling relieved that it looks like she's just sleeping now that he takes a closer look at her those long eyelashes and
those slightly red lips on her white skin she really does have a pretty face he stares at her blushing if you look at her sleeping face you wouldn't think that she's the rumored girl so Tom starts moving and is about to wake up aamori gets startled it's not good he'll be mistaken for a peeper and get arrested like he imagined before he starts sweating wondering what he should do looking around for somewhere he can hide so to is now awake and she sees him panicking she stares at him and asks where she is she calls
his name shivering he says mourning to her she then remembers that he's letting her stay at his place aamori stares at her and she looks sleepy he then tells her there's Breakfast in the living room and she should wash her face and get down she gets off the bed saying okay I'll do that as she walks out of the room she hits her face on the wall and walks out aamori realizes that Soto is not good with MNS they're now ready to eat so to compliments the food saying it's delicious aamori mentions how he didn't
know if she's a bread type or rice type person but he decided to go with rice for now she responds saying she prefers rice he says is that so then that's good they continue eating and there's just silence it's now awkward for aamori it doesn't have anything to do with her being a girl but this is so awkward he could talk normally with her yesterday due to the impulse of bringing her home but now that they're sitting face to face things just got super awkward somehow but it can't be helped they might be classmates but
yesterday was the first time they talked to each other ever since then he's been asking himself countless times whether this was the right choice or not so Tom asks if he's not going to eat she's already done eating and aamori was still in his thoughts he quickly responds saying huh yeah I'll eat aamori mentions that he'll leave the house first so she can take her time and head to school later after all they can't go to school together he also mentions that he washed her drenched uniform impressed she thanks him and mentions that he really
can do anything he says Nah adding that he actually never did chores until middle school so he had quite a hard time when he started living alone but humans can surprisingly do anything once they're cornered he adds that that's why she doesn't need to worry about what she's going to do from now on he sure everything is going to be all right she says that would be nice he then gives her the key it's a spare key to the house she asks if it's all right and he mentions that she'll need it if they're going
to live together he'll leave closing the doors to her on her way out she says okay got it also he has a suggestion he asks if they should call each other by name and not by their family name he mentions how it'll feel weird to be all distant while living together he tells her she can call him Akira she says she understands and he can call her AI as the narrator I'll call them aamori and Soto in order to close the distance starting from the form is also important at school someone calls aamori by name
Akira saying morning to him aamori responds saying morning AG this guy is sarashi a he's the only friend who knew aamori from way back aamori has always been transferring here and there because of his dad but he had lived in this town when he was still little and back then AG would always play with him in kindergarten they reunited in middle school but to think that he would turn out to be such a hunk aamori asks if AG isn't with isumi today he responds saying he is but she said she wants to drop by the
staff room first the girl pops out saying oh AG Kuan she starts singing saying I kept you waiting while rushing to hug him AG says welcome back to her this girl is asmia isumi on top of being a class rep she's also AG's girlfriend he pets her hair saying he loves her too girls in class find this cute seeing this happen these two have been going out since middle school and thanks to their constant flirting without a single care in the world they're known as the famous couple even before ENT entering High School aamori coughs
interrupting the moment isumi notices him and says morning to him he responds telling her to not say it as if she just remembered she suddenly gets an idea saying right speaking of remembering she mentions that it looks like she's coming today talking about soome the whole class Falls silent after seeing soome the students start whispering saying how it's rare for soome to come to school asking how long it's been and how they completely forgot about her Soo walks by quietly a Smiles saying it's been a while since Soom came to school his girlfriend isumi comments
saying she was worried since Soom was taking days off for a while now she then says she'll go talk to Soom for a bit as she gets to Soom she says Soom good morning Soom responds back saying morning isi then mentions that Soom came to school today asking if she's been well Soom just says normal isumi with a big smile on her face asks if normal is the best aamori stares at everything and thinks isumi has a strong mentality isumi is the only one in this class who isn't ignoring Soom she is talking to Soom
and she doesn't even care about the gazes around her although it doesn't look as if soome is accepting her fully after at akam mori's place all of the pressing matters regarding her livelihood should be settled at the very least she no longer has to worry about a place to stay until he moves out but what will happen once aamori transfers schools not only will she lose a place to stay but she might also lose a place to belong at school since she's a girl who often skips classes as well the teachers don't really have a
good view of her either which is the worst possible situation there might not be anyone who will lend a helping hand to soome next time unless soome takes that first step AG asks aamori if he's interested in Soto coming to school he quickly says huh oh no waving his hand he says it's not about that AG gets closer asking what it's about aamori asks if Soom went to the same middle school as him and a ag confirms it aamori mentions how he doesn't know much since he transferred Midway but he wonders if soome was already
like that back then too AG says both he and isumi weren't in the same class as her but it seems like she became like that after entering high school and it also seems like her being a loner hasn't changed much since Middle School aamori says he sees and looks concerned AG looks at his face saying well and mentions that he can help him if he feels troubled aamori says no uh it's not like I'm in trouble or anything aamori thanks him anyway that day in class he was only thinking about what he and Soom would
do next back at home aamori mentions that it's so cold today he gave saom San a longsleeve t-shirt earlier but he's sure that's not enough she did say that she's only bringing the bare minimum of what she can carry so it's possible that Soto isn't bringing many spare clothes with her he walks to her and as he thought if they think in the long term she's going to need some spare clothes and since she's a girl some other necessities right he calls her and tells her that it's cold today so she should come and wear
other clothes he asks if it's okay and then asks if she has any plans for tomorrow she thanks him for the clothes she says she doesn't have plans and since she's going to school now she asked her part-time place to reduce her shifts during weekdays after school so she has no plans for tomorrow aamori then asks if she wants to go out shopping together she realizes what he asked and suddenly blushes covering her face shy aamori says my bad I'm not going to force you but she quickly responds saying oh no it's all right it's
just that this is my first time going out with a boy aamori realizes what he just asked her and suddenly says she's mistaken as he didn't mean it like that he meant it would be better if saaman has her own clothes and daily Necessities right and since there might be lots to carry he thought about carrying them for her aamori then wonders if people call that a shopping date so Tom realizes what he meant and mentions that she was a little surprised she then apologizes for having the wrong idea aamori then takes the blame saying
it's his fault for not explaining properly so to says she's happy that he's asking her out but she doesn't have enough money on her until her next pay aamori then insists it's all right and she can count on him she says no no I can't do that aamori says he has some money saved up for emergencies he's been saving up a lot to this day and he thinks that now is one of those emergencies that's why he was hoping that she'd let him use it so that they can both have a comfortable life she asks
if it's really all right and he exclaims of course she looks at him and says thank you saom San whenever she wants to Express gratitude would always give a troubled look he says good night to her and they'll see each other tomorrow if we think about her circumstances it just can't be helped but whenever he sees her like that his heart hurts a little Saturday they're now ready for shopping and aamori points at a store and says for starters let's check out some clothes shall we he can't have her wear her uniform all the time
after all she says okay while in the store aamori thinks about how he already knows that this store is geared towards girls but they is no one but girls around him maybe he should have picked a store that caters to both girls and boys like zoo or Unico he notices soome checking out some clothes and he walks up to her asking if there's anything that caught her attention she says no and mentions it's kind of hard to choose she decides to ask aamori what kind of clothes he thinks would suit her aamori tells her that
rather than asking for his preferences he thinks she should choose What She Likes best she then asks if he's not the one paying and that that's why it would help her if he chose for her aamori is in disbelief that such an important role would come to him if he had to choose he'd pick the prim and proper type in this season a bright colored blouse for the top and a long skirt for the bottom to give a sense of coolness pleated skirt would be even better no the best he wants to trace the gaps
in the folds for eternity or not anyways putting his inclination aside he doesn't have the slightest clue as to what kind of clothes girls like aamor asks if flashy clothes would be better she responds saying what flashy clothes why why well you may say girl but there is an infinite variety of them from black girls who go to tanning salons to get tanned to white girls who are very particular about keeping their white skin or so he heard aamori thoroughly researched girls at night so to mentions that she thinks she prefers clothes that are more
subdued aamori asks if neat and clean types do for her and she agrees aamori realizes that she's the third type the neat and proper girl type and he finds that not bad he calls her pointing and asking about the clothes that the mannequin is wearing she says she'll try them on he lets her know he'll go and wait over there while waiting aamori looks and thinks about how there are so many people outside he thinks of the possibility that someone from school might see him and so to together a weird rumor like their dating in
secret might spread and that would be very bothersome and and if in the off chance saom San circumstances or their cohabitation gets exposed he thinks they should quickly finish what they came here to do and go home ASAP so to then apologizes for the wait he responds saying oh not at he stares at her and she asks what he thinks akam mori's face turns red as he looks surprised aamori knows that he chose the clothes but they fit her extremely well he cheers himself on saying good job me but there's one thing that he wants
to point out so Tom asks if it doesn't suit her aamori says it fits her really well she says really thank goodness he asks if they can get them and a few other sets she says no saying she can't have him by her multiple sets he tells her she doesn't need to hold back aamori wonders if soome will surely give him that face whenever he tries to buy her something won't she for soome her feeling of causing trouble wins over her feeling of gratitude if so aamori tells her she can pay him back whenever she
has spare money he said it yesterday as well but he wants them to live a comfortable life he tells her to think of it as an advance payment he wants to propose a method where soome won't fret over Minor Details she asks if it's really okay and he says of course she smiles saying she'll take his word for it as she said that the expression that she gave him while still somewhat stiff made him happy he mentions that they should take a look at another store and she says Okay that was the first smile she
ever gave him and that made him happy he asks her if there's anything else that she wants to buy she says no I think I'm F and she suddenly notices something aamori asks if there's something and she says oh no it's fine aamori mentions that it's all right they're already at stores so she can tell him she then insists it's fine he then asks if she's sure and asks if she can come with him for a bit he takes her to a hair salon and she says a beauty parlor aamori can't stop thinking about that
troubling look that she had earlier he tells her they should go aamori is a complete blackhair lover but he'll let soome pick the color he wants to make her hair prettier she mentions that it'll be expensive and he tells her not to hold back smiling at her as they enter the salon a guy welcomes them aamori wonders why all male beauticians are such hunks still wondering why aamori asks if it's okay since they don't have an appointment the guy says of course and asks if it'll be the two of them aamori says he's fine so
he should take care of Soto the guy tells a colleague to take the girlfriend to her seat meaning Soto she says what aamori asks her what's wrong and she says um that's Soom apologizes saying but she's not his girlfriend aamori reassures her that the guy didn't mean it that way but rather in a more customer services way she responds saying what is that so she covers her face with her hands feeling a ashamed saying oh no I misunderstood aamori says even though it's false he thinks there's no need to rectify it Soto softly says this
is her first time at a beauty parlor so she thought she should respond properly aamori believes she's so pure he wonders if this naivity or rather this ignorance of the ways of the world is the kind of feeling he sensed bit by bit ever since he invited her home from her appearance to her behavior anyone who sees her at a glance would definitely think that she's a girl and a delinquent and yet if you actually talk to her you can immediately tell that there's a gap it's already surprising that she's doing part-time jobs to help
with the family finances too he asks how she managed until now since she said this is her first time she says her mom would cut her hair for her as for her hair color her mom said let's bleach it together so they both bleached it at home aamori asks if he can ask her something aamori asks if it could be that she's not a gal she says me a gal why you think so aamori knew it Soom is neither a gal nor a delinquent the reason why she often skipped classes was to help with the
family finances she also didn't bleach her hair because she wanted to the blonde gal who tends to skip truants if they get rid of that image soome is just a normal girl who thinks a lot about her mother isn't she the guy at the salon says understood it'll be an honor for me to be her first beautician for her parlor debut he prepares her and asks if they can proceed now that aamori understands that she's neither a gal nor a delinquent that reaction of hers is so adorable aamori says he'll leave it to them as
long as they can make her prettier I know we have definitely misunderstood her completely the real soome is neither a gal nor a delinquent she's just a girl who is reserved and kind they ended up keeping their distance just from her flashy hair and treny but they weren't able to avoid creating a misunderstanding since soome is also a very reserved girl even if it couldn't be helped had the circumstances surrounding her been normal things would have been vastly different then again assumptions won't change the past but if it's the future it can still be changed
right aamori now knows what he can do for her time passes by while she's still getting her hair done the guy says thank you for the weight and aamori says oh right the guy removes the cover and soone looks really pretty and she also chose the color black for her hair aamori is blown away way while staring at her saying oh so Tom asks if it's weird he quickly says definitely not I think it suits you very well she asks if he's really not lying he says I would never lie she then says it's fine
aamori pays and they Thank The Beautician on their way out while they are at it he wants to grab lunch and then go home but with many people around they're really going to be seen by someone aamori then says they should go home they can buy other stuff online anyway she says right while walking suddenly someone shouts ah aamori is on a date with a girl hearing the send chills down his spine as he's caught off guard aamori and soone look back to see who it is it's a and isumi aamori is surprised and also
sweating he quickly asks why they're here AG mentions that it's a very famous dating spot after all so he doesn't think they're out of place asking if he disagrees isumi gets closer to aamori saying he could have told them if he has a girlfriend this cute she teases him asking why he's so distant isumi and AG don't recognize Soom isumi then decides to introduce herself saying she's akam mori's classmate isumi and AG is akam mori's best friend as well as her boyfriend sazar AI aamori realizes that isumi didn't notice that it's Soom isumi asks if
it's fine with Soom if she could tell them her name she then starts being suspicious wondering if they met before or not aam Mor is praying she doesn't notice it's Soom if she still doesn't realize that it's saom San he can still dup them a then asks if she changed her hair color and mentions that he always thought that black hair suited her the most isumi is now surprised saying what could it be so to you're so toome she says nothing at first then says yes aamori failed to cover for her isumi is impressed saying
oh wow you've become so pretty that I didn't realize it was you she adds that she also thinks that she looks even better now feels like she's the pure girl type her heroin's power is going through the roof right now she asks what aamori and Soto are doing together aamori feels it's over as their cover is blown
