“...Why don’t you stay at my place just for tonight?”

It can't be helped that the contractor won't come until tomorrow. I guess I'll have to stay at a hotel tonight... I'm nervous since I haven't done that much.

Just as I was about to sigh, Yuu-kun, who had been walking ahead of me, turned around and stared at me.

"...How about staying at my place just for today?"

...Huh? ...Your place? Whose?

While I stood there with my mouth hanging open, Yuu-kun spoke up in puzzlement.

"That's why I'm saying you should stay at my house. Mom isn't here today, either... and besides, you have a reason, so you won't get scolded for staying over."

True, I do know Yuu-kun's mother, and I know she's the type of person who would surely help with a smile... but is it really okay?

"At a time like this, you should let yourself rely on someone a little. Besides... I want to thank you for the other day too. Let's get dinner somewhere."

As he said that, I felt like Yuu-kun, looking up places on his phone, was smiling as if trying to hide it.
