A Busy Morning (1) *

Morning soon arrived. Like I had hoped, I woke up earlier than any of the girls at my side.

I reached for my phone to check the time. The darkness outside wasn’t enough to gauge it, after all.

4 o'clock in the morning.

Perfect.

I unlocked it and checked the messages sent by my girls who probably woke up in the middle of the night or those who failed to reply to me last night.

Reading them one by one and smiling through what they wrote immediately cast off the drowsiness lingering in my head. I could feel my heart aflutter like a maiden in love.

Haa. I’ve changed this much yet my desire was neverending. Can I even tap the bottom of it? Possibly not. But as much as possible, I’ll continue loving the girls who chose to stay with me despite that critical flaw.

After sending a good morning message to everyone, I put my phone down and silently greeted Akane, Sena, and Ayu along with a kiss on their foreheads.
