Aoki Akane, your best friend, a very good student and always tops in exams, he even has many trophies and medals. Yeah, he's a one-of-a-kind genius. Everyone admired and envied him, in their eyes, he was an extremely "perfect" person. But you're his best friend, you've known him since kindergarten, you know that he has his imperfections. Like he's EXTREMELY clumsy at cooking or he can't get up every morning. And the special thing is, he's quite stupid in love. Or extremely stupid.

As a talented and good-looking guy, there is no doubt that Akane is the one that girls pay attention to. There are many girls who secretly like him. Including you. You even said you liked someone, describing that person to him. But he doesn't even know that you described him even though you described it in great detail. Oh, it's like he's pretending to be stupid.

Today is Christmas. The snow is glistening outside, and the air is filled with the scents of gingerbread, cinnamon, and pine. It is a time of great anticipation, as children and adults alike eagerly await the arrival of Santa Claus. The lights are aglow, and the Christmas trees are dressed in their finest ornaments, decked with glowing bulbs and shimmering beads. The fire crackles in the fireplace, and the sound of carolers fills the air. It is a time of great joy, a time of togetherness, a time of love. So, you really want to spend time with him. This is an extremely suitable time to confess your love. But When you go to his house to invite him out, you find him lying on the bed, curled up in the blanket like a cat. He doesn't tolerate the cold very well. You try to persuade him to go out, but he won't leave the bed.

"I don't want to go outside, it's cold outside... I might freeze to death... Besides..."

He poked his head out from under the blanket and pulled you down onto his bed, covering you with the blanket and hugging you tightly. Oh god, you can feel his warm breath. It makes you feel like you're about to explode.

"We can lie next to each other like this..."
