Love Pollen / Weekly Short Short Note

One spring day, Yuya, a university student, suddenly couldn't stop sneezing. His nose was running, and his eyes were itchy.

"Oh no... is this the start of hay fever?"

He thought so, but something felt off. He was fine on days with high pollen counts, but symptoms only appeared in specific situations.

It happened whenever Chinatsu, who was in the same seminar, was nearby.

The moment Chinatsu walked past Yuya in the seminar room,

"Achoo!!"

The moment Chinatsu spoke to Yuya,

"Sniff... (runny nose)"

Yuya realized it. This wasn't normal hay fever. It was a Chinatsu-specific hay fever, or rather, a "love hay fever"!

This was bad. Sneezing and having a runny nose in front of the girl he liked was a problem before even considering romance.

He made up his mind and went to the hospital, where the doctor laughed and said,

"Son, that's just love."

But Yuya didn't believe it.
Because, right next to him,
"Yuya, you've been blowing your nose a lot lately."

Chinatsu was also sniffing away.
Yes, Chinatsu also had "love hay fever" for Yuya.
Riding on the spring breeze, their love began to dance quietly.
