After finishing their lunch and sipping the last of their drinks, Heri standd and glanced at his watch.

“Let’s go up to the fifth floor for a bit. I need to pray—it’ll only take five to seven minutes,” he said casually.

“After that, we’ll head to something fun… Daiba 1-chome Shopping Street!”

Sakura nodded quietly.

“Prayer…” she thought. The word still felt unfamiliar, but her curiosity was growing.

While Heri performed his prayer in the quiet prayer room, Sakura wait in the hallway. Her thoughts drifted… to all the things she didn’t yet understand about Heri—and how that, somehow, made him even more intriguing.

When Heri returned, he led her to Daiba 1-chome Shopping Street, a small retro-styled area hidden between Odaiba’s modern buildings.

As soon as they stepped inside, Sakura’s eyes widened.

“Wait… this is in Tokyo?!”

The space was bursting with neon signs styled from the Showa era, faded boards straight out of the past, and traditional Japanese snacks lined up in wooden displays

    Spring… is only a few weeks away.Sakura stepped out of her apartment that morning. The Tokyo air is still cold, biting at her cheeks and ears. She made her way toward Yoyogi-Uehara Station, ear mufflers wrapped snug around her ears, shielding her from the last reluctant breath of winter.In her ears, “Kaiju no Hanauta” by Vaundy played through her headphones.At the station, the morning train was already packed. Station attendants pushed passengers in so the doors could close. Sakura is among the crowd, squeezed in tightly—just another part of her everyday life.When she arrived at Higashi-Ikebukuro, she walked calmly toward the office. She stopped by a vending machine and grabbed a can of hot coffee, clutching it tightly in both hands—hoping the warmth of the can would transfer into her shivering body, chilled by the winds sneaking between the buildings.She checked her schedule for the day—a meeting with her manager in Ōmiya.“Sakura, let’s go. Make sure you’ve got the documents,”

    Inside the nearly empty train, Heri stand quietly near the door.The song “Fragrance” by Mahiru and RINZO played softly through his earphones, blending with the Tokyo nightscape flowing past the window.Tokyu Lines… today he had retraced the tracks that were once part of his life.The only difference now was—Sakura had walked them beside him.Memory and reality gently met, and his heart felt warm.Once he arrived back at the hotel, he runs into a few cabin crew members.“Heri, where’ve you been? Disappeared all day,” one of them asked casually.“Just hung out with a friend,” he replied softly, offering a faint smile.They chatted about their shopping adventures in Shibuya, lunch in Ginza, and laughter in Ikebukuro. They invited him to join next time.Heri just nodded politely.The Tokyo they sought and loved… are different from the Tokyo he kept quietly in his heart.For today—and maybe even the days to come—he wanted to be selfish, choosing his own version of the city.That night, am

    The warm aroma of curry drifted from the kitchen, wrapping the small house in comfort. Inside, Akari moved swiftly, helping Yuriko with dinner preparations, while Kenta hurried back and forth, carefully setting the table with plates and cups. In the living room, Mayu sat quietly in front of the TV, occasionally humming along with the jingle of a passing commercial.From her seat, Sakura peeked into the kitchen. Something stirred within her—a quiet curiosity.“Sakura, would you like to take a look?” Yuriko called with a warm smile.Sakura nodded gently and stepped in. The kitchen is small, but full of life—sounds, aromas, and soft laughter. In one corner, Akari was preparig salad, while Yuriko stirred the curry and tasted the sauce from a large pot.Sakura looked around. There is something alive in this space. A kind of warmth—voices, scents, and casual movement that made everything feel connected.This kitchen… is nothing like the one in her apartment. Hers is always quiet. Empty.“Wh

    “Nii-san! Why didn’t you tell me you were coming to Tokyo?” the young girl called out, half in protest.“Ah… yeah, haha,” Heri replied awkwardly. “I already made plans with someone, Akari-chan. I was worried I wouldn’t have enough time.”Akari’s gaze immediately shifted to Sakura. “Nii-san… who’s she?” she asked innocently.Sakura quickly stepped in to introduce herself, not wanting things to become awkward. “Kitagawa Sakura. Nice to meet you.”“I’m Yamamura Akari! Nice to meet you too, Kitagawa-san!” the girl said enthusiastically with a wide grin.“Nii-san,” she added with a teasing smile, “is she a friend… or a friend?”“Mom’s going to be so happy when she sees her!”“Mom?” The question flashed quickly through Sakura’s mind. Whose mom…?Heri let out a small sigh, then turned to Sakura and explained.“Akari is the eldest daughter of my host family here in Tokyo.”Sakura, who had been feeling a bit uneasy, instantly relaxed. Even happy. A figure from Heri’s past—someone she’d only he

    11:45 a.m.Sakura is lounging on the sofa, hugging a small cushion to her chest. Her eyes were nearly closed, drowsiness slowly taking over.She glanced toward the bed. Heri is still fast asleep… or—wait? Sakura rubbed her eyes. Heri had opened his eyes halfway and was quietly looking in her direction.Slowly, he reached for his phone and turned off the alarm before it had the chance to ring."You're awake," Sakura said softly.Heri gave a small nod, yawned, and rubbed his face. Then, he got up and headed into the bathroom to wash his face and perform his prayers.His movements were neat and disciplined—clearly the product of long-standing routine. Sakura watched in silence, simply observing. For some reason, there is a quiet comfort in watching him like that.Without saying much, Heri picked clothes from his suitcase and returned to the bathroom. Before long, he reemerged—fully ready, wearing a navy blue sweater over a white shirt, dark jeans, and his favorite OnCloud sneakers.“So…

    “Have you eaten yet?” Heri asked as he walked slowly beside Sakura.“I have,” she replied with a nod. “Had an onigiri for breakfast, and a coffee at Tully’s while waiting for you to land.”“Oh yeah,” she added, “so… what’s the plan now? You heading to the hotel first?”Heri gave a small nod. “Yeah, I need to check in and drop off my luggage. And honestly… I’d like to take a nap until around noon before we go out.”Sakura just smiled. Truthfully, when she decided to pick Heri up at the airport, she hadn’t thought about what came next. All that mattered was seeing him again—being the first person to welcome him.“Where will you wait, Sakura-san?” Heri asked.“Uh… maybe at a café near your hotel?” she replied, unsure.“You sure that won’t be too long?” Heri paused. “Or… if you’d like, you can just wait in my room?”Silence.Both of them froze. Awkward.Until Heri, a little flustered, quickly added, “I mean—you can just chill on the sofa, watch TV or order snacks from room service while I
