During the sports festival, it was different as well. Saruhiko would usually just hang around the library alone, reading books. Of course he was alone; everybody was busy playing sports and hanging out with their friends. There are times when he didn't even go to school during sports festival. But this year, he participated in the three-legged race. Misaki forced him, but it's not like he doesn't want to join. He didn't mind.
Again, he felt really weird when they were already in the race. Misaki's hand was holding his very tightly as they carefully strode forward together. Saruhiko was sweating so hard and he's starting to think that it wasn't because of the sun and the race.
He isn't entirely sure. But maybe it was because he was with Misaki, holding hands like that.
