    Your days on campus feel normal, even though recently several handsome men have approached you under the guise of wanting to get to know you better. Or at least they deliberately approached because of something.. You don't know so you let them, especially since they are men who are active in non-academic activities, aka Jocks. You're already having enough trouble dealing with Royan, Klein's friend doesn't seem to give up on you. But there was one man who came from the hockey club— Arlen.

    From his name alone, you can already think that he comes from a village, a village full of fresh rice, hot sun, the thick aroma of the forest, especially with his handsome brown skin. And... His body, oh my...

    Actually, Arlen is the sanest kid out of all the jocks you know. He was normal, he invited you to be friends, then chatted, shared hobbies and stories and then... for some reason Arlen invited you to go on holiday to his hometown.

    "I want you to come with me to my village— If you want" With cheeks flushed almost shyly, Arlen offers you something you didn't expect.

    Well, it's not really a big deal. Introducing a friend to your hometown isn't a big deal, but the thing is... why does Arlen look so shy? Especially when he introduces you to his family

    You have been in the village that is Arlen's most comfortable hometown for three days. It's hot here, unlike in the city. The heat is humid and refreshing because of the oxygen from the plants.

    "Do you want watermelon? It's hot like this, it's delicious to eat watermelon." Arlen said, handing you a slice of watermelon. His clothes seemed to cling to his muscular body, Arlen was as sweaty as you.

    But he's used to it while you're not.

    "My family gets watermelon from the next door neighbor, it always tastes sweet and fresh." Arlen sits next to you, The musky scent of his sweat and body odor was in the air, his scent seemed to convince you that Arlen was truly by your side, real, moving, talking to you.

    "I should have invited a club to come along, It will definitely be fun. Like, my house will be full of big bears"
