FOCUSED SILENCE

Regret.

Seina experienced that when she got to her boarding house.

Why must I purchase the same clothing as the girl? Just irritate me!

Seina didn't stop whining.

Seina reopened the small book with Elan's writing on it instead of forgetting about Elan and getting ready for bed since the night served as a silent witness to remind her of him.

The person who likes the color white is... Seina took a long break from reading the book she had written about him.

Why does my mind just contain Elan, Elan, and Elan? Oh, how absurd! However, what is Elan doing right now?

The worms in the stomach compete for assistance when we think about something too much, causing it to quickly fill.

Even though I'm tired, I'm hungry.

Seina opened a conversation on her phone carelessly. When she approached him, Elan's eyes grew wide.

The message is visible: "I got food for you, I will be in front of your boarding house in 15 minutes."

Seina was ecstatic. Seina was shocked by the attentiveness of Elan who always understood what Seina wanted; he was like an alarm signaling it was time to eat without her asking.

'Attention. However, just a pal, honey.

***

"Wow, open!" Elan made a phone call.

Seina hurriedly opened the garage door and noticed Elan carrying a large tote of food.

You must have met your girl, I'm sure.

Elan agreed with Seina's query and nodded.

Since it was hard to meet Seina alone and Elan was able to afford a bottle of perfume, let alone have makeup that neat, Seina was fully aware that the man had met the woman given his impeccable appearance and potent perfume.

Seina assumed it would be Elan who was carefully concealing it because he never revealed to her what kind of lady he resembles.

Seina continued to stand up and opened the bag of food that Elan had given him before Elan left with his shadow. He consumed ice cream.

like how I feel about him. but irritated! In an instant, Seina could feel irritated: "Even though you know I like it! ", she even threw away the ice cream that had just melted on her tongue. However, Seina's demeanor abruptly changed to one of joy. A girl with a small heart who anticipated Elan would return her love.

Her shadow doubled in size when the alarm clock squeaked as though it were in her ear. It was chilly and overcast outside, and there was a strong wind that suggested a storm was about to develop.

Seina sat back down after realizing she was unable to hold herself while standing.

She yelled, "Ah, my head hurts," and collapsed onto the bed.

Seina continued saying, "Come on," to herself. You need to be strong, Seina. All Elan, don't worry.

***

"Seina, get up right away! Why are you late? Mrs. Lela, there is a lesson for today. I do not want you to miss this, "remarked a third party.

Seina recognized the voice and knew that Elina, her lone friend, was standing outside her room.

Seina is a friendly and outgoing person who finds it simple to make friends, but Seina mistakenly believed that all of her friends were just regular people. One companion was more than enough for her.

Seina attempted to open the door while moving, but she was unable to get up and instead collapsed to the ground.

Brak...!

When Seina's chamber started to sound like something was falling from the ceiling, Elina was startled and pushed open the door. Naturally, it was a failure.

"Seina... Sei. Are you alright?" Elina yelled as she pounded on Seina's door.

Since Seina took refuge at the boarding house owner's home because she received no response, Elina fled there as quickly as possible.

***

How shocked Elina was to find Seina laying on the floor not far from her bed when she opened the door to Seina's boarding room.

What are you doing, Sey? Sey?

Elan was reached by Elina.

"And hurry over here! to the boarding house of Seina."

"What's that?" Elan's voice was frantic.

"Seina passed out,"

"Hah! OK, hold on. Straight there I'm going."

***

It didn't take long; Elan was already in Seina's room. Of course, Elan had obtained permission from the proprietor of the boarding house because Elina was present and could clear up any confusion.

Elan repeatedly touched Seina's nose with the wind oil as they stared at Seina, who never opened her eyes. There was, however, no reaction.

Elan quickly covered Seina's forehead with a warm towel. Seina's face was pale, and she began to perspire. His core temperature fluctuated. Seina started crying, and her tears spilled across her pillow. Seina shrieked Elan's name sometimes.

Elina, who had been observing them for a while, suddenly threw up the pretext that she needed to buy food after hearing this.

Where are you going? Elan asked as he clutched Elina's hand.

Without glancing at Elan's face, Elina yelled, "I'm hungry, I'll buy you and Seina some dinner later."

While Elina was looking away in front of Elan when Elan noticed her face, Elina didn't even want to look at her.

Elan was unable to halt Elina's progress any longer. then simply let it go.

When Seina started to open her eyes, Elan remained motionless while gazing at the woman. Immediately, Elan smiled.

I hope you won't get sick again. Elan spoke softly while stroking Seina's hair.

"Why are you here, exactly? It's a boarding house here."

Seina's remarks were rejected by Elan by touched her lips with her index finger.

"Elina passed out when she found you."

Seina looked to the right and left, but no one was in front of her save Elan.

He screamed glumly, "Where's Elena?

What is it that you desire to do? Elan was startled to see Seina sitting down fast. Although he just realized it, he still appears frail.

Seina chose not to respond to Elan's query because, in her opinion, she needed to ask Elina personally.

Elan finally raised her voice after deciding there was no reaction "Elina is supplying us with food. Later, I'll return."

Seina was dozing on the bed after Elan departed. Other than resting and naturally thinking about Elan, there is nothing to do.

Seina grabbed the miniature calendar from her nightstand. When he noticed the number that he had marked with a marker, his eyes grew wider. "Elina's birthday," it stated.

Seina neglected to remember her best friend's birthday because she was too preoccupied with Elan. I don't want to waste my time. For her best friend, Seina has prepared a surprise.

Seina made her bed and the dishes she hadn't had time to wash the day before.

He once more glanced at the calendar next to his bed, noting that Elina was approaching a very momentous day on January 27. Naturally, Seina wanted to plan her best friend's birthday surprise in as much detail and with as much vigor as she could.

Contrary to her expectations, Elan's fatal smack silences Seina when she asks for his assistance in selecting a gift, preventing her from pressuring Elan. Elan initially objected and resisted taking Seina, but after some time he changed his mind.
