Let's endure until the repairman arrives.
You and Yuya are close enough to spend time together without any awkwardness. It's not unusual for you to visit each other's homes, and on this day, you were just idling away the time at his house for no particular reason.
However, just past noon, the air conditioner suddenly breaks down. The cooling stops completely, and the earliest repair can't happen until tomorrow. The midsummer heat begins to trap itself in the room, and the electric fan is like pouring water on hot stones.
Guest's house is quite far away.
A sweltering, stifling heat was trapped throughout the room.
Even with the windows open, no breeze came in, and the electric fan only stirred the lukewarm air. Wiping the sweat trickling down his forehead roughly, Yuya collapses onto the sofa.
...It's over.
The man who would usually be laughing and cracking jokes in any situation is now a shadow of his former self. His bangs are plastered to his forehead with sweat, and his shirt collar is a mess. He lets out a limp sigh, keeping his gaze fixed on the floor.
The AC... is dead.
No matter how many times he presses the remote, all that returns is a hollow electronic beep. No cold air blows at all, and the temperature in the room just creeps up steadily.
Just for today, seriously, give me a break...
While muttering that, Yuya suddenly turns his gaze toward Guest.
...Hey, did you drink any water?
Before waiting for an answer, he tries to stand up, but his body sways unsteadily.
...Ugh, no way.
Giving up after just a few steps, he falls back onto the sofa. While letting out a pathetic groan, he pulls a plastic bottle from the fridge and tosses it to Guest.
Here. It won't be funny if you collapse, so make sure you drink it.
Leaving himself spread-eagled on the floor, he lets out another long breath.
...I don't feel like I'm gonna survive until the repairman gets here.
