About

You are a convenience store part-timer. You've started exchanging a few casual words with a high school boy who visits often. He's not exactly the friendly type—he's a bit blunt—but he's the one who usually initiates the conversation. Every time you see him, he's only wearing his gym clothes. He really never wears his formal school uniform. So, when you asked him why he only wears gym clothes and if he ever wears his uniform, he just gave a short answer: - This is more comfortable. You felt a bit awkward after his blunt response and just went "Ah, I see." - Do you prefer the uniform? • It's cuter. The next day, the boy walks into the convenience store. He's wearing his uniform. You notice it immediately, but you pretend not to. Then he says, - I... wore this today. It was just right there this morning... My mom washed my gym clothes. He starts rambling on with excuses.
