[Scene: Class 1-A - Morning]

(Kenta sits at his desk, surrounded by even MORE papers than before. His eyes have that tired glow. Takahashi stares in horror.)

Takahashi Kenji: "Dude. Again?!"

Kenta: (not looking up) "Professor Hayashi was impressed with my last solutions. He gave me more."

Takahashi Kenji: "More?! How many more?!"

Kenta: (holding up a thick stack) "Geometry this time. Advanced stuff."

Takahashi Kenji: (reading the first page) "What even IS this?!"

Takahashi Kenji: (dropping the papers) "Kenta. This isn't high school math. This isn't even COLLEGE math. This is... PhD level GEOMETRY!"

Kenta: (rubbing his temples) "I've been working on them for three days. I finally finished last night."

Takahashi Kenji: "Three DAYS?! For problems like these, that's IMPOSSIBLY fast!"

Kenta: "Tell that to my brain. It hurts."

Takahashi Kenji: "Then why are you at school?! Go home! Sleep!"

Kenta: "Can't. Festival today."

Takahashi Kenji: (eyes widening) "OH RIGHT! The Summer Festival! The whole school is setting up booths and activities!"

Kenta: "Sui and Yui already texted me. Twenty times. Each."

Takahashi Kenji: (grinning) "They're excited!"

Kenta: (sighing) "They're always excited."

[Scene: School Grounds - Festival Setup]

(The school is transformed. Lanterns hang everywhere. Booths line the pathways. Students rush around in yukatas and festival attire.)

(Kenta walks through the chaos, still looking slightly dazed from lack of sleep.)

Student 1: "Kenta Morik! He's here!"

Student 2: "The genius who destroyed astronomy class!"

Student 3: "And he's got that whole thing with the two girls from 1-B..."

Kenta: (ignoring the whispers) (muttering) "Where are they..."

Sui: "KENTA-KUN!"

Yui: "OVER HERE!"

(He turns. And stops.)

(Sui and Yui are both wearing beautiful yukatas. Sui's is deep blue with gold patterns. Yui's is soft pink with flower designs. Their hair is done up. They look... different.)

Kenta: (blinking) "You... look..."

Sui: (nervous) "Look what?! Is it weird?! My obi is crooked?! I knew it—"

Yui: (also nervous) "Is the color too bright?! Should I have worn something else?!"

Kenta: "...Nice. You look nice."

Sui: (freezing) "N-nice?"

Yui: (face red) "He said NICE!"

Sui: (also red) "KENTA-KUN SAID WE LOOK NICE!"

Kenta: (confused) "Why are you both red?"

Sui: "BECAUSE YOU—I MEAN—IT'S—"

Yui: "THE FESTIVAL! IT'S WARM!"

Kenta: "It's evening. It's cooling down."

Sui: "WELL OUR BODIES ARE HOT!"

(Yui elbows her.)

Sui: (realizing) "I MEAN—WE'RE WARM—FROM WALKING—NOT THAT—"

Kenta: (almost smiling) "You're both weird."

Sui: "YOUR weird!"

Yui: (grabbing his arm) "Come on! We have to see everything! The booths! The games! The food!"

Sui: (grabbing his other arm) "And the dancing! There's couple dancing later!"

Kenta: "Couple dancing?"

Yui: (eyes sparkling) "Yeah! They clear a big area and couples dance together! It's romantic!"

Sui: (looking at him hopefully) "Kenta-kun... will you... I mean... if you want to..."

Kenta: "Dance?"

Sui & Yui: (in unison, blushing) "YES!"

Kenta: (thinking) "Dance. With both of them. In front of everyone."

Kenta: "...I don't know how to dance."

Sui: "We'll teach you!"

Yui: "It's easy! Just follow the music!"

Kenta: (sighing) "Fine. But if I embarrass us, it's your fault."

Sui: (beaming) "DEAL!"

Yui: (squeezing his arm) "This is going to be the best night!"

---

[Scene: Festival Booths - Food and Games]

(The three wander through the festival. Kenta eats takoyaki fed to him by both girls. More indirect kisses. His ears haven't stopped being red.)

Sui: (holding out a ball) "Kenta-kun! Try the goldfish scooping!"

Yui: "No, try the shooting gallery first!"

Sui: "Goldfish!"

Yui: "Shooting!"

Kenta: (taking both) "I'll do both. Efficient."

(He wins a goldfish on his first try. Then hits every target at the shooting gallery.)

Booth Owner 1: "Never seen anyone scoop that fast!"

Booth Owner 2: "This kid is a natural!"

Sui: (clutching a stuffed bear he won for her) "Kenta-kun is amazing!"

Yui: (clutching a stuffed cat he won for her) "The BEST!"

Kenta: (looking at his empty wallet) "That was... expensive."

Sui: "WORTH IT!"

Yui: "We'll treasure them forever!"

---

[Scene: Festival Grounds - The Dance Area]

(Night has fallen. Lanterns glow warmly. A large area has been cleared. Couples are gathering. Music begins to play—a slow, elegant waltz.)

Sui: (nervous) "Okay! It's starting!"

Yui: (also nervous) "Kenta-kun! You remember what we taught you?!"

Kenta: "Step forward, step side, together. Repeat."

Sui: "Perfect!"

Yui: "But who will you dance with first?!"

(They look at each other. Then at Kenta. Then back at each other.)

Sui: "Rock paper scissors?"

Yui: "Best two out of three!"

(They start playing furiously. Kenta watches, amused.)

Sui: "ROCK!"

Yui: "PAPER! I win!"

Sui: "BEST TWO OUT OF THREE!"

Yui: "SCISSORS!"

Sui: "ROCK! I win!"

Yui: "FINAL ROUND!"

Sui: "PAPER!"

Yui: "SCISSORS! I WIN!"

Yui: (jumping) "I GO FIRST!"

Sui: (deflating) "Nooo..."

Kenta: (to Yui) "Okay. Let's try."

(Yui's face lights up. She takes his hand. They move to the dance area.)

---

[Scene: The Dance - Part 1 (Yui)]

(The music swells. Kenta places a hand on Yui's waist. She puts a hand on his shoulder. Their other hands clasp.)

Yui: (whispering) "Kenta-kun... your hand is warm."

Kenta: "Yours too."

(They begin to move. Kenta counts steps in his head. Yui follows perfectly.)

Yui: (looking up at him) "You're actually good at this!"

Kenta: "I calculated the steps. It's like math."

Yui: (laughing) "Only you would compare dancing to math!"

(They twirl. Yui's yukata flares out beautifully. Other couples stop to watch.)

Student Watching: "Is that Kenta Morik?!"

Another Student: "Dancing?! With Misu Yui?!"

Another: "He's actually good!"

(Yui is glowing. She leans her head against his chest slightly as they move.)

Yui: (quietly) "Kenta-kun... I'm so happy right now."

Kenta: (looking down at her) "Because of dancing?"

Yui: (smiling) "Because of you."

(Kenta's heart does something weird. He ignores it.)

(The song ends. Yui pulls back, eyes sparkling.)

Yui: "That was perfect!"

Kenta: "You're a good dancer."

Yui: (blushing) "I practiced! For this!"

Sui: (rushing over) "MY TURN! MY TURN!"

---

[Scene: The Dance - Part 2 (Sui)]

(Sui grabs his hand and pulls him back onto the dance floor. The next song begins—slightly faster, more lively.)

Sui: (nervous) "Okay! I might be less graceful than Yui!"

Kenta: "You'll be fine."

Sui: (taking position) "Promise?"

Kenta: "Promise."

(They start moving. Sui is enthusiastic but less precise. She steps on his foot once.)

Sui: (panicking) "SORRY! SORRY!"

Kenta: "It's okay. Keep going."

(She settles into the rhythm. Her smile returns.)

Sui: (grinning) "This is fun! We're dancing! Kenta-kun and me!"

Kenta: "We are."

Sui: (looking at him) "You know... I used to dream about this."

Kenta: "Dancing?"

Sui: (quietly) "Dancing with you. At a festival. Like this."

(Kenta doesn't know what to say. So he just keeps dancing.)

Sui: (leaning closer) "Kenta-kun... thank you."

Kenta: "For what?"

Sui: "For remembering me. For being my friend. For... everything."

(Her eyes are shining. From the lantern light? Maybe.)

(The song ends. They stop. Sui is still holding his hands.)

Sui: (breathless) "That was..."

Kenta: "Good?"

Sui: (nodding) "The best."

---

[Scene: The Juice Stand - Intermission]

(They sit at a small table. Kenta drinks from a cup. Sui and Yui watch him.)

Yui: "Kenta-kun? What's that?"

Kenta: "Fruit juice. They said it's a special blend."

Sui: "Oh! That's the festival special! It's got a little bit of—"

Yui: (kicking her under the table) "SUI!"

Sui: (realizing) "I mean—nothing! It's just juice!"

(Kenta looks at his cup. Then at them. Then drinks more.)

Kenta: "It tastes... different."

Yui: (nervous) "Different how?"

Kenta: "Warm. Sweet. Makes me feel..."

Sui: "Feel what?!"

Kenta: (blinking) "Relaxed. Very relaxed."

(There's a slight flush on his cheeks. Not from embarrassment this time.)

Yui: (whispering to Sui) "How much alcohol was in that?!"

Sui: (whispering back) "Just a little! For flavor! I didn't think he'd drink the whole thing!"

Kenta: (leaning back) "You two are whispering."

Sui: "N-no we're not!"

Kenta: "You're bad at lying."

Yui: (sweating) "Kenta-kun... how do you feel?"

Kenta: (thinking) "Tired. Frustrated. But also... warm. Happy?"

Sui: (confused) "Frustrated? Why frustrated?"

Kenta: (looking at them) "Because of you two."

Sui & Yui: (freezing) "US?!"

Kenta: "You're always there. Always caring. Always feeding me. Always making my ears red."

Yui: (nervous) "Is that... bad?"

Kenta: (shaking his head slowly) "No. It's good. It's too good. I don't know how to... respond."

Sui: (softening) "Kenta-kun..."

Kenta: (standing suddenly) "I need to... do something."

Yui: "Do what?"

Kenta: (grabbing both their hands) "Come with me."

Sui: (heart racing) "Where?!"

Kenta: "Somewhere quiet."

Yui: (thinking) "Empty classroom protocol!"

---

[Scene: Behind the Festival Stage - Quiet Area]

(It's a small clearing behind the main stage. Lanterns hang here too, but it's private. No one else around.)

Sui: (looking around) "Kenta-kun... why are we—"

(Kenta stops. Turns to face them. His face is slightly flushed from the juice, but his eyes are determined.)

Kenta: "I've been thinking."

Yui: (nervous) "About what?"

Kenta: "About you two. About everything."

Sui: (heart pounding) "And?"

Kenta: (stepping closer) "You both kiss my cheek. All the time."

Yui: (blushing) "W-we do..."

Kenta: "You feed me with your chopsticks. Indirect kisses."

Sui: (dying inside) "Yes..."

Kenta: "You make me food. You walk with me. You fight over me."

Yui: "Is that... okay?"

Kenta: (looking at them both) "It's more than okay. But I realized something."

Sui: (barely breathing) "What?"

Kenta: "I've never kissed you back."

(Their eyes widen.)

Kenta: (stepping closer to Yui) "Yui."

Yui: (trembling) "K-Kenta-kun?"

(He leans in. Presses his lips gently to her cheek. Lingers for just a moment.)

Kenta: (pulling back) "Thank you. For always being there."

(Yui's face explodes in red. Her hand flies to her cheek where he kissed.)

Yui: (voice cracking) "HE—HE—KENTA-KUN—FIRST KISS—MY CHEEK—"

(She wobbles. Grabs a nearby pole for support.)

Sui: (staring in shock) "He... he kissed her..."

(Kenta turns to Sui.)

Kenta: "Sui."

Sui: (frozen) "Y-yes?"

(He steps closer to her. Same gentle motion. Lips on her cheek. Soft. Warm.)

Kenta: (pulling back) "Thank you. For finding me again. For not giving up."

(Sui's brain short-circuits. Her face is the color of a tomato.)

Sui: (opening mouth, no sound coming out) "I—you—we—kiss—CHEEK—"

(She also grabs onto something—Yui's shoulder—for support.)

---

[Scene: The Aftermath - Both Girls Processing]

(Yui and Sui stand there, leaning on each other, both touching their kissed cheeks, both completely red.)

Yui: (whispering) "He kissed me."

Sui: (whispering back) "He kissed me too."

Yui: "On the cheek."

Sui: "On the CHEEK."

Yui: "His lips."

Sui: "Warm."

Yui: "Soft."

Sui: "Kenta-kun's lips."

Yui: (grabbing Sui's arm) "SUI! THIS IS HAPPENING!"

Sui: (grabbing Yui back) "I KNOW! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!"

Kenta: (watching them) "Are you both okay?"

Yui: (shrieking) "OKAY?! WE'RE—WE'RE—"

Sui: (also shrieking) "YOU JUST—WITH LIPS—ON CHEEKS—"

Yui: "FIRST TIME!"

Sui: "FROM YOU!"

Kenta: (ears red but calm) "You've done it to me many times. I thought it was fair."

Yui: "FAIR?! THIS ISN'T FAIR! THIS IS—THIS IS—"

Sui: "REVOLUTIONARY!"

Kenta: (confused) "It's just a cheek kiss."

Yui: "JUST?! JUST?! KENTA-KUN, DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANS?!"

Kenta: "...That I kissed you?"

Sui: "IT MEANS YOU WANTED TO! VOLUNTARILY! WITHOUT US ASKING!"

Kenta: (thinking) "...Yes?"

Yui: (squealing) "AHHHHH!"

Sui: (also squealing) "HHHHHHH!"

(They jump up and down together, still holding each other.)

---

[Scene: The Return Kisses]

Yui: (suddenly stopping) "Wait."

Sui: (stopping too) "What?"

Yui: (grabbing Kenta's arm) "If he kissed us... we should kiss him back!"

Sui: (eyes lighting up) "YES! RECIPROCITY!"

Kenta: (blinking) "That's not necessary—"

Yui: (standing on tiptoes) "TOO LATE!"

(She kisses his cheek. Right where he kissed her.)

Sui: (also on tiptoes) "MY TURN!"

(She kisses his other cheek. Same spot.)

Kenta: (standing there, both cheeks freshly kissed, ears crimson) "...Now we're even."

Yui: (beaming) "Even? We're WAY past even!"

Sui: (grinning) "We're at SQUARE ONE! Which is actually SQUARE TWO! Or THREE!"

Yui: "We're at KISS SQUARE!"

Kenta: (almost laughing) "That doesn't make sense."

Sui: "DOESN'T HAVE TO!"

(They both grab his arms again. Hug tightly.)

Yui: (murmuring) "Kenta-kun... this is the best festival ever."

Sui: (nodding) "The absolute best."

Kenta: (looking at them both) (thinking) "Frustrated? I was frustrated earlier. But now..."

(He looks at their happy faces. Their red cheeks. Their sparkling eyes.)

Kenta: (thinking) "Now I'm not frustrated at all."

---

[Scene: Festival Grounds - Later]

(The three walk back into the festival, arms linked. Sui and Yui are still glowing. Kenta's ears are still pink.)

Student 1: (whispering) "Did you see? Kenta Morik kissed both of them!"

Student 2: (gasping) "BOTH?!"

Student 3: "Behind the stage! Someone saw!"

Student 4: "The ice prince melted!"

Takahashi Kenji: (appearing out of nowhere) "KENTA!"

Kenta: (sighing) "Takahashi."

Takahashi Kenji: (grabbing his shoulders) "I HEARD EVERYTHING! CHEEK KISSES! INITIATED BY YOU! BOTH GIRLS!"

Kenta: "Word travels fast."

Takahashi Kenji: "This is the greatest moment in school history! The ice prince finally—"

Kenta: "I'm not an ice prince."

Takahashi Kenji: "You WERE! But now? Now you're a WARM prince! A KISSING prince!"

Sui: (proudly) "He's OUR prince!"

Yui: (nodding) "The best prince!"

Takahashi Kenji: (tearing up) "I'm so proud. So, so proud."

Kenta: "You're crying."

Takahashi Kenji: "These are tears of JOY!"

---

[Scene: Festival Fireworks]

(The sky explodes in color. Fireworks bloom overhead. The crowd oohs and aahs.)

(Sui and Yui stand on either side of Kenta, each holding one of his hands. They look up at the fireworks, faces illuminated.)

Sui: (quietly) "Kenta-kun... tonight was perfect."

Yui: (softly) "I never want to forget this."

Kenta: (looking at the fireworks, then at them) "You won't."

Sui: (turning to him) "Promise?"

Kenta: (meeting her eyes) "Promise."

Yui: (leaning her head on his shoulder) "Good."

Sui: (doing the same on the other side) "The best."

(Kenta stands there, two girls leaning on him, fireworks painting the sky, their warmth seeping into him.)

Kenta: (thinking) "I solved twenty geometry problems this week. Hardest ones of my life."

(He looks at them.)

Kenta: (thinking) "But this? This is harder. And better."

(He squeezes their hands gently.)

Sui: (feeling it) (smiling)

Yui: (feeling it) (smiling wider)

(The fireworks continue. The night is warm. And Kenta Morik, for the first time in a long time, feels completely at peace.)

---

[Scene: Kenta's Room - Night]

(Kenta lies in bed. His phone buzzes. Twice.)

Sui's Text: "Kenta-kun! Tonight was magic! Thank you for the kiss! I'll treasure it forever! Sleep well, my prince! "

Yui's Text: "Kenta-kun~ my cheek still feels warm where you kissed me! I'm never washing this cheek again! (jk but not really) Sweet dreams! "

Kenta: (staring at the messages) (smiling)

He types back:

Kenta's Text (to both): "Good night. Thank you for tonight. And for the return kisses."

(Immediate replies:)

Sui: "AHHH HE SAID RETURN KISSES! "

Yui: "KENTA-KUN ACKNOWLEDGED OUR KISSES! "

Sui: "SLEEP WELL OUR KENTA-KUN!"

Yui: "DREAM OF US!"

Kenta: (putting down the phone) "Chaos."

(He closes his eyes. Smile still on his face.)

Kenta: (muttering) "But my chaos."
