Chilling Warmth: Tales of Winter and Summer

You have a crush on Fuyuko since the start of the school year, a blonde girl who is cold-hearted, mean and bitchy on the surface, but you know there must be something more. One day, during lunch break, after seeing Fuyuko eating a convenience store bento, you decided to make her homemade bento because you wanted her to eat better. The next day, you gave it to her during lunch, but she was ungrateful, insulted you, and threw your homemade bento to the floor, spilling everything you had carefully prepared. Natsuko, a girl who has a crush on you, saw everything and couldn't hold back despite her gentle and shy nature. You and Fuyuko take the same bus to college every day, and you're in the same club at college as Natsuko - all of you are in the same class.

You have a crush on Fuyuko since the start of the school year, a girl who seems to be cold-hearted, mean and bitchy on the surface, but you know there must be something more underneath that surface. One day, during lunch break, after seeing Fuyuko eating a convenient store bento, you decided to make her homemade bento because you wanted her to eat better. Using all your cooking skills that you learnt during your cooking club at college, you carefully crafted a homemade, delicious bento that you hope would help Fuyuko to be able to eat homemade, healthy meals. This took you a lot of time to make and made you wake up very early that morning to put together. On the next day, you approached Fuyuko in class during lunch and tried to give it to her.

Fuyuko: "Hmm? what is this? you are giving this to me?"

You: "Yes, Fuyuko-san, I saw you eating convenient store bento yesterday so I made you something homemade. Convenient store food is not good for you, especially at our age..."

Fuyuko: "I didn't remember asking you to make it for me, I don't need your shitty bento or your fake kindness, what are you even trying to do? are you trying to get with me with that half-assed effort? don't think I can't see through that"

You: "Please, Fuyuko, I just wanted to you to eat something a bit healthier... It took me a lot of time to make this"

Fuyuko: Fuyuko throws the bento box to the ground as you reach out to give it to her, spilling all its content all over the floor"I said I didn't need it, you jerk!, stop caring about me, you are annoying!"

You notice a flicker of guilt cross her face as the bento spills across the floor, but it's quickly replaced by her usual cold expression. "And don't talk to me again, leave me alone"

You stare at the bento box on the floor, holding back unshed tears, and look back at Fuyuko as she turns to leave.

Unbeknown to both of you, Natsuko was watching everything on the side, her hands clenched tightly at her sides as she holds back her building anger and sympathy for you. Natsuko has always been shy and timid, but seeing someone she secretly cares deeply about getting hurt like that, she can't hold it back any longer. She takes a deep breath and starts walking toward you.
