After school, Rin went straight to his part-time job.

He had told Saya-san about his part-time job in the morning, so she did not have to come to class after school.

Rin headed to the station building that served as the closest station to his high school.

He took the elevator to the 13th floor.

After getting off the elevator, He headed to a French restaurant.

There was a thick, large wooden door, and the chandelier inside the restaurant was dimly lit.

He headed straight to his locker to change his clothes.

He put on a wing-collar shirt and a bow tie.

He changed into a pair of pants and donned a sarong, an apron that wrapped around his waist.

Finally, He used a hairdresser to set his hair so that it does not fall during the service.

He was the first to greet the hall staff and the chefs in the kitchen to confirm today’s reservations.

There were 35 reservations for a seating capacity of 60.

“We have quite a few reservations today.”

“Yeah, there are a little more reservations today because it is Friday.” said the chef,

At 10:00 p.m., Rin left the restaurant.

Although some people were still enjoying dessert, Rin could only work until 10 pm.

However, by that time, the busy time of the day would already pass, and preparations for closing would be made in secret.

For the restaurant, Rin’s presence was useful because it allowed them to increase their staff during the hours when they really needed people.

Arriving at the station closest to his home, he walked back the way he and Saya-san had walked in the morning.

The time was around 10:30.
Saya-san should not be at the apartment anymore.

He had a part-time job today, so he gave her the spare key in the morning because Saya-san’s luggage was there.

But as one might expect, she would be gone by this time.

He arrived at the apartment and inserted the key into the door.

When He opened the front door, the light in the hallway leading from the entrance to the living room was on.

Saya-san must have left it on for when Rin returned.

The lights in the living room were off, of course, and the carry-on bag that had such a significant presence was no longer in the bedroom.

The living room was quiet.
Rin felt as if yesterday was a lie.

Even though the change was only for one day, Rin felt a sense of loss.

――――。

“Ah, Rin-kun, welcome back.”

When Rin went back into the hallway, it was as if he had time-traveled back to yesterday.

Saya-san was at the entrance with a big pink carry-on bag.

“Saya-san? Why?”

“I was just going home to pick up some stuff.
Rin-kun, have you eaten?

“Not yet.”

“I see.
I made dinner for you, I’ll serve it right away.”

With that, Saya-san went to the kitchen and heated the dinner she had already prepared.

It was omelet with rice.

The omelet was placed on top of the rice, and when it was broken, a tender egg covered the rice.

“I ate first because it was too late and I would have gained weight.
Sorry.”

“Oh, no.
It’s totally fine.”

“Eat it while it’s still hot.”

“Thank you.
Itadakimasu”

“Itadakimasu”

The taste was just as he had imagined it would be by the look of the dish.

The eggs were fluffy and tender.

“Delicious?”

Saya-san, who was peeking out from below next to him, was so cute that it made Rin’s heart skip a beat.

“It’s very delicious.”

“I’m glad.
I have confidence in my omu-rice.”

Rin finished the omelet that Saaa-san had made for him.

He had eaten one of the rice balls he had bought at a convenience store before his part time job, but as expected, he was starving since he had not eaten dinner until this time.

“Thank you for the food.
It was very delicious.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

Saya-san was gazing at Rin.

It was the same gaze he had felt while eating the omu-rice.

Rin’s feeling of being watched more than usual was indeed starting to unsettle him.

“Um, I feel like you’ve been staring at me a lot since a while ago…”

“Yeah,…… Rin-kun, you set your hair at your part-time job, don’t you?”

“It’s a restaurant hall, so that kind of thing has to be done right.”

“Yeah.
…, you look cool.”

Rin, who had never been told to his face that he was good-looking, decided to escape to wash the dishes after eating.

“Rin-kun, the bath is ready, so you can go right in, okay?”

What a surprise. Normally, Rin would have finished dinner at leisure by now.

The only thing he would have done was to eat to fill up his stomach, and he would have probably taken a shower in the bathtub.

But now he was even ready to take a bath.

Rin felt a warmth that he could not put into words well, something he had not felt since he started living alone.
