The boy nodded.

A cute look on his face.

He tried to tighten his lips.

So that I don't laugh obviously.

…

After returning to his seat and sitting down, the boy with his head lowered showed a big smile on his face.

...

On the way to school, he walked very fast at first.

His steps were as brisk as if he were about to fly.

He was very excited.

Thinking of going home, he couldn't help but smile.

But......

When he entered his community, his steps gradually revealed a bit of hesitation.

The closer he got to his home, the slower he walked.

He... began to feel a little scared.

Is morning mom real?

Won't he find out now when he gets home...

Was his mother in the morning just a figment of his imagination?

…

No, no, no...

The boy shook his head violently in his mind and denied it.

How could the mother in the morning be his hallucination?

He clearly remembered it clearly.

I recalled it countless times in the classroom.

Mom...is back.

…

The boy swallowed.

He walked into the unit building.

…

Every footsteps was like stepping on his heart.

He became more and more nervous.

…

He hesitated for a while.

This situation is so similar to yesterday.

Even the follow-up is exactly the same.

The boy heard the footsteps coming up, and he didn't want to run into his neighbor.

He quickly inserted the key into the keyhole.

He had the key in his hand from the beginning.

…

"Bang~"

After entering the house, he turned around and closed the door.

…

But today, he soon noticed how deserted the room was.

Not as sluggish as yesterday.

The boy was a little stunned.

today……

He also got home first.

…

The boy pressed his chest hard.

His heart beats very fast.

He is a little cold.

It's a little hot again.

…

today……

Can he wait for his mother?

He would never cry himself to sleep like he did yesterday.

Even now, he found that his eyes were a little hot.

My nose is also a little sore.

…

The boy rubbed his nose vigorously.

He closed his eyes again and took a deep breath.

Will not……

Mom told him this morning to be careful on the road...

Even though he didn't look back, he knew that his mother was always watching him.

He suddenly regretted it.

He should turn around.

He turned around and waved to his mother.

Say goodbye.

instead of...

"I am leaving."

…

Boy doing homework in the living room.

Instead of going back to his room.

He tried hard to focus on his homework.

Instead of getting up and leaning out the window every now and then to take a look.

Every now and then, I look up at the time on the clock.

…

Unfortunately, the results are not very obvious.

The boy felt as if his heart was hanging in mid-air.

That feeling of weightlessness... was uncomfortable.

The boy didn't know how many deep breaths he took.

The tightness and sluggishness in the chest have never improved much.

Naturally, the homework was not done smoothly.

Doubling and correcting made him more and more irritable.

…

The boy knocked his head hard.

concentrate.

He told himself harshly in his heart.
