Please Stay With Me
Escape School Together, part I

The sky was a little cloudy, the air began to feel cold, the beautiful city of Otaru was now covered with fog that was getting thicker and thicker. December 5th, the beginning of winter has just begun.

In the morning at 07:20, Yuika, wearing a school uniform with a thick jacket and gloves, was walking towards the train station, the girl was just about to leave for school by taking the Train as usual.

The air in the morning felt so cold.

Arriving at the station Yuika meets Minato who is also about to leave for school that morning. Minato sat in the waiting room seat of the Train station while folding both of his hands to his chest. He was also wearing a thick jacket, the man seemed to be enduring the coldness that was on his body.

Yuika smiled as she walked over to Minato and sat down next to him.

"Hey, you're here..!" Minato exclaimed at Yuika as her lips trembled slightly.

"It's very cold this morning." Say again.

"Hmmm..." Yuika's sahut is short.

The breeze blew, a few strands of Yuika's display hair swayed gently, Minato who sat by her side could smell the fragrant fragrance from the girl's hair.

"It looks like today the train is coming late." Minato.

"Really." replied Yuika.

"They told me, maybe the train will be late, about 10 to 20 minutes." Minato.

Because the weather conditions are covered by thick fog, the arrival of the Railway will be slightly delayed.

"I brought you something. Waita..!" Minato said as he opened his bag and picked up something inside.

"Here you take, you like romance stories don't you..?" Minato said back while giving Yuika a book of romance novels.

Yuika then took the novel from Minato's hand. He could feel a chill on Minato's palm as he touched his hand.

The girl then noticed the cover title on the novel.

"Please Stay With Me." Yuika.

"Yes, it's a romance novel, you're sure to love it.

"Thank you..! Said Yuika with a smile.

While waiting for the arrival of the Railway, Yuika dispels the sense of saturation by reading a few chapters from the novel.

While Minato was only paying attention to the area around the station while occasionally looking at Yuika's face, he was so fond of the girl that he felt so happy about continuing to be near Yuika.

"Do you like the story..?" Ask Minato.

"Hm... Yeah..!" Yuika continued to read her novel.

"Yuika..!" Call Minato to Yuika.

"Yes, what's the matter...?"

"Actually, all this time I've wanted to say something to you." Minato said while looking at Yuika's face.

"Something what..?" Yuika stopped reading.

"I've actually been liking it all this time..." Minato had not been able to continue his words, suddenly a middle-aged woman came and sat down next to him.

So that makes the man did not continue his parkata.

Inwardly Minato felt very upset because for the umpteenth time he had to undo his intentions, revealing his heart to Yuika.

"What do you want to say..? Like..? What do you mean..?" Yuika asked with a confused face.

"That's... I meani... No, it's nothing, just forget it." Minato looked a little upset, he was annoyed at himself who could not continue the expression of his heart that he had been silent all this time to Yuika the girl he loved.

After some time waiting at the station, the train finally arrived. Minato and Yuika got into the carriage and sat down together.

Inside the Railway, Minato kept watching Yuika who was sitting by his side.

"Can I hold your hand..?" Minato.

"Huh..! What..?" Yuika glanced at Minato with a feeling of shock mixed with embarrassment.

The girl then hid her hands behind the bag that was on her lap.

"Why..? Am I wrong to ask you..?" Minato smiled while slightly laughing looking at Yuika's innocent window.

"Come on..! My hands almost froze. Give me your hand, let me hold your hand for a moment, until my hand gets warm again." Pinta Minato stretched out her hand hoping that Yuika would hold her hand.

But it seems that Yuika is just speechless and does not comply with Minato's request. The girl kept hiding both of her hands.

"Well if you don't want to." Minato said as she pulled her hand back.

Along the way, on the train Minato was seen continuously blowing while rubbing his palms as it endured the cold.

"Give me your hand..!" Pinta Yuika suddenly.

Yuika could not bear to look at Minato who continued to endure the cold.

He pulls Minato's hand and gives Minato his gloves.

"No problem, wear it before your hands freeze." Canda Yuika while smiling sweetly at Minato.

Minato's heart seemed to be beating fast when he saw Yuika's sweet smile. While smiling there was a dimple forming next to the girl's right cheek. Minato was very fascinated to see the natural beauty that the god gave to Yuika.

"Let me help you put it together." Yuika pulled Minato's hand and put her gloves on Minato's hands.

"What now, it's warm." Say again.

"Yes, thank you..! You're a beautiful, kind girl." Minato was even more admiring Yuika.

The man fell more and more in love with Yuika's kindness.

It felt like he was eager to express his feelings to Yuika, yet he had to find the right time to express them.

A few minutes had passed, the Railway took the two teenagers to their destination.

Yuika and Minato are seen exiting the Railway and walking in tandem towards Otaru 1st High School.

While in front of the school gate, Minato took off the gloves and gave them back to Yuika.

"Here, I think both my hands are getting warm, thanks for lending it to me." Minato gave Yuika's gloves back.

The two teenagers walked near the school gate, yet it seemed that they had come very late to school. The Otaru 1st SMA gate has now been closed.

The two teenagers stood in front of the gate for so long, hoping that the security guard who guarded the school gate would open the door for the two of them.

It seems that Minato repeatedly tried to beg the security guard to open the gate, but unfortunately the security guard did not listen to Minato's pinta, even the security guard told them both to return home.

Meanwhile outside the weather was cold enough that the two of them inevitably had to leave the school gate immediately towards a warmer place.

"What a fucking day." Minato walked while kicking the small stone that was on the road.

" Ha ha..." He suddenly laughed a little.

"Where are we going now..?" Yuika asked Minato.

"I don't know where we're going either, which is why we can't go back to school." Answer Minato.

They just keep walking without knowing where to go.

"Would we just go back home..?" Said Yuika who stopped her skeleton while looking towards Minato.

"The Railway has not yet arrived, it will take 3 hours until the Train arrives, if we go home now..! Would you like to wait for hours at the train station..?" Minato asked Yuika again.

Yuika then sighed deeply, thinking about what to do.

"Come with me, I'll take you somewhere you'll definitely like." Minato said as he walked back.

"But where are we going..?" Ask Yuika.

"Follow it, I'm not gonna kidnap you." Canda Minato's.

The two teenagers then walked along the city of Otaru.

The cold air made Minato's body tremble slightly.

"Minato..! Can we just stop for a second..!" Yuika.

"What's up..?" Ask Minato.

"Ak me... I feel like peeing..!" Yuika's speech recently endured the embarrassment.

"All right, wait a minute around here if there's no one wrong there's a clothing store. You can be a passenger there." Minato walks Yuika to a clothing store.

Yuika then immediately walked into the shop, while Minato stood up while waiting in front of the shop door.

After a few minutes Yuika has now returned and exited the clothing store while carrying a small package.

"This is for you." Said Yuika while giving the package to Minato.

"This is what..?" Minato opened the package and found a pair of black gloves.

"This is for me..? You better not bother. You're so attentive to me." Minato.

Minato then put on the gloves that Yuika had just given her.

"Ah... It feels very comfortable. Thank you." Thank you." Say it again with a smile.

The two teenagers then continued their journey, until they arrived at a very beautiful beach.

There are some people who are also on the beach, enjoying the beautiful ocean on the coast.

Clean white sand and calm sea water add to the beauty of the beach.

"Well..beautiful..!" Yuika was running in the middle of the sand of the beach.

He ran and circled around like a little boy dancing.

From a distance Minato smiled watching Yuika's cute behavior.
