In summer, the asphalt road is as hot as a red-hot iron plate under the red hot sun, and the air on it is so hot that it is twisted and scorched. Looking at the distorted heat haze, I always think of accidentally spying on your unknown side in that summer, and your zero-degree expression in the scorching sun is still deeply imprinted in my mind. The disturbing chirping of cicadas constantly highlights the depression and irritability of summer, which makes me dizzy. The noisy ambient sound around you is no longer important as if it has been calmed down. Your eyes staring at the abyss like stagnant water make the surrounding Everything is no longer important.
Is that an illusion in Heat haze, or is it the reality that I saw inadvertently under the dazzle?
I wanted to catch up, but I was stopped by the siren. The iron fence fell, and the huge rumbling sound suppressed the cicadas for a moment. The train passed by in a hurry, and you on the opposite side returned to your usual smiling expression in an instant. The sense of disobedience in my mind is lingering, and I suddenly feel that your usual smile is not real, it is just a smile on the flesh.
Do you also have troubles?
I care about you, because you are the first peer who gets along with me normally and doesn't care that I don't match the "perfect image". You let me have support when I am lonely.
I am a Center in an idol girl group, one only having the appearance. I performed perfectly but the reality under the perfect image is clumsy. Even if I try hard, I can't catch up with everyone's expectations. I received a lot of work and was excluded by the members.20Please respect copyright.PENANAnFcjnZEBrI
When I go to school like this, I will also receive strange eyes. I am less perfect than the public expects. But you ignored all this and invited me to join the archery club. That was the first summer when I met you.
Your name symbolizes winter, which seems incompatible with summer, but it illuminates and warms me like the sun; in the sun's heat, you melt into summer like snow and disappear.
20Please respect copyright.PENANA1o7Fc5Hax4
You are always smiling and willing to help everyone around you, and I am just one of the people you helped. In your eyes, I am just a classmate and not an idol, I can be my true self.20Please respect copyright.PENANARXxMST0PXT
And I see you as a truly perfect existence, a gentle and elegant top student.
Like a school idol---but you turned into an emotionless machine the moment I saw it.
"If you have any troubles, you can tell me, I hope I can help you."20Please respect copyright.PENANAmKolBT6mgz
I expressed my concern in the next time we meet.20Please respect copyright.PENANA87fCgnmGUs
You smiled and said that you are happy about that, but you are fine, thank you, and I have not been able to do anything further.
You rescued me, and I promised to be your support, because my dream is to be an icon of hope, and I want to help you too. But before I could do anything, you disappeared in summer.
I never got to see you again.20Please respect copyright.PENANA7fVesMd8XX
I should have known that you were not as happy as you looked.20Please respect copyright.PENANAnSMLQIQXU5
If your position is quite the idol of the school, you will naturally face a situation like I am facing.20Please respect copyright.PENANA2jI4nNdCqQ
I am afraid that what I saw of you was a perfect mask, but it is still a fact that you saved me.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAtR7J0TDxRn
And until you disappeared, I couldn't really do anything for you.20Please respect copyright.PENANAKFN4kNl92G
The next time I heard about you, it was a friend of a friend who heard about it. I walked up to you and presented you with a bouquet of blue lilies of the valley. It is the same color as your pupils, and it must bring blessings.
You didn't respond, you failed to respond.20Please respect copyright.PENANAA7NEpxEhJT
I firmly believe that I must continue to pursue my dreams, in order to save people like you, people who keep erasing themselves and respond to expectations, and people whose despair disappears in the end.
Work hard and work hard until I become a top idol.
Unknowingly, the available concert venues are getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more observations. When all the fluorescent sticks are unified into color of aquamarine, the scenery is as beautiful as the ocean.
In the heat haze caused by heat at outdoor concerts, I always see a purple figure, which looks very much like your color.20Please respect copyright.PENANAwYO4RS8yJ6
Is it my hallucination, or the ghost imprisoned in summer? I believe it is the latter.
I will become stronger, I will continue to work hard to convey hope, and I will turn all the fluorescent sticks under the stage into my aquamarine color—the same color as your eyes.20Please respect copyright.PENANA0IO6LCMTWt
I know you're watching, in the summer heat haze.
I stare at the heat haze in summer, remembering your existence.
I want to send this piece of heat, this ocean of blessings, to you.
I pray that happiness can finally reach where you are, and complete this unilateral agreement that I can no longer achieve.
