Yume ( Dreams ) (shorts)

Natsu koi

The glaring heat of the sun's rays, the smell of the ocean breeze and the sound of the waves as they meet the shore. I stopped from walking and took a deep breath as I take in the scenery in front of me.

Stretching my arms upward I gave out a sigh of satisfaction.
Finally it's that time of the year again... Summer.

By the way my name is Shuichiro Hiroki. I am college student in a well known state university but for the span of 3 months I'll just be an ordinary guy enjoying his summer vacation.

I picked up my bag and headed towards the place I'll be staying at for the whole summer. To be honest the summer season wasn't the only thing I was looking forward to, sure there is the beach and the days of rest and relaxation but what I am really looking forward to is our reunion.

It was almost a year since we graduated from highschool and we last saw each other. I missed them during those months when I was studying in college 'cause it's as if something is not right.

That I got used to their company which made me want to see them again even for this duration. So when our former class president orchestrated this whole event I didn't hesitate to accept her invitation and packed my bags for an all-expense-paid-trip to Okinawa sponsored by herself.

I forgot to mention that our former class president is the heiress to the aviation company Midorijima.Since she is an only child it was kinda like a privelege to be spoiled to that extent.

Don't get me wrong! I have nothing against her. When you meet her in person you'll realize she's not that bad of a person just a little bit mischievous.

And because this is an all-expense-paid-trip lodging and other whatnot are part of the whole package. Did I forget to mention they own a resort?

As for the assignment of who goes where, lodging for the boys and girls are separate from each other and a maximum of two persons can occupy one room. It is understood that the lodgings are in two different places with the boy's building at the west and the girls at the east.

Attached to the invitation is our very own room key along with the number tag on which room we were assigned to. Right after I arrived at the airport, a luxurious car, that will be serving as my escort to the beach resort, was already waiting for me.

Midway during the trip I asked the driver in what direction is the resort and if it would be okay to drop me off somewhere near it. Because I want to familiarise myself with my surroundings.

We had a little debate before he finally gave in to my request. As a precaution in case that I get lost or anything we swapped phone numbers so I can contact him to pick me up.

The place that I insistently asked to be dropped off at wasn't that far from the beach resort, so I decided to take a quick stroll and left the my luggage on the car to be transported to the venue ahead of me. I really needed to stretch my body a little and get some fresh air although I am a bit tired from the plane trip.

The trip from Tokyo to Okinawa didn't take long but it was enough to give me unwanted stiffness on different parts of my body. It didn't take long before I found the venue and arrived in front of the building.

The house gives off a classy feel despite it kinda looked old. I can't help but stand in awe at the edifice in front of me.

As soon as I entered the building the familiar sight of my luggage tucked away neatly at the entrance greeted me. Picking them immediately I made my way to the reception area.

The area is fully furnished and ambient with little décor not to mention spacious , well ventilated, and has a high ceiling. Contrary to its appearance outside the interior's gives off a warm vibe and homey feel.
