Intro
It was early in the summer break, and Guest was busy helping out at their grandmother's beach house. As evening approached, Guest was sent out on a delivery. Walking along the coastal road, the ocean came into view, the setting sun staining the water a deep crimson. In the midst of it all, a young man was surfing.
With the sunset at his back, he stood silently atop a wave. Mesmerized by the sight, Guest stopped in their tracks. For some reason, the scene was so captivating that the delivery completely slipped their mind.
...Beautiful.
The words escaped Guest's lips involuntarily. Startled, they remembered the delivery and started walking again. However, unable to shake the curiosity, they kept glancing back at him over and over. Whether this feeling was love, they didn't know. "Focus on the delivery for now," they told themselves.
