On the surface, Haru was calm and collective. With just one glance, nothing would seem out of the ordinary, but on the inside…

Ahh!! That was so close! I thought my heart would give out!
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImmj8kdBfd
Haru was in complete disarray. His breathing became heavy and sweat was forming on his forehead. His hands rattled as he tried to focus his breathing. Gradually, Haru's state of mind became the same as the facade he has on his face.

Haru leaves the elevator and inhales the cold night air.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPV8W6xFT7
I don't know what to do so I guess I'll take a walk.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S2DtkDHj0
Haru begins his night time stroll and the first place he thought of was a nearby convenience store to get a drink. As he was making his way, girls from the ages of high school, college, and business women, noticed Haru's handsome appearance. Haru smiles and waves to them whenever he notices their gaze and when some of them had the courage to walk up and talk to him, he would engage in short conversations.

I never got to experience the nightlife outside of work like this before, but I can see why I should avoid it. There's too many young ladies and women eyeing me. I'd prefer it if it was a few ladies at a time.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvNVFny8zc
"Hey, you're cute. Let's go have fun!"
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMfsO88ziF
"No! I don't want to go with you!"
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3YxyJ8feO
Hm? Is someone being harassed?
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP69Wqzqlly
Haru turns around the corner and sees a middle-aged man heckling a familiar lavender-haired young lady. The troubled young lady was none other than the Student Council President, Ami Yoko. She was still in her uniform which told Haru that she left the school late. Yoko continued to refuse the man's advances and the man grew impatient with her and grabbed her arm.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wppJVgEjI
"Hey! Stop that! Let go of me!"
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNAHpImnpx
"Don't be like th-!"
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQqHHeGb05
"Hey!! I'm sorry for being late."
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOwjIIuGOT
" " Eh???" "
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkxpJndXwZ
Yoko and the man looked in the direction of the voice and they saw Haru running towards them with a worried face. He stops just short of Yoko and takes her hand. "I'm sorry for being late."
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1u9qHoAvF
"Eh? Bu-!"
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS1KRei9Xk
"Come on. Let's go home. Our parents are worried about you. I'm sorry you have to look after my troublesome little sister." Haru bows to the man and by using the confusion he created, he was able to take Yoko away from the man without any drama. Yoko was still in a state of disbelief and wondered who was the dashing man who was leading her by her hand.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBraShXvaI
"Looks like we'll be safe here." Haru says as he glances outside while taking a sip from his coffee. Yoko sat across from him and began to observe him.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SAoDsMcYV
Why is he wearing a disguise? Even though he looks like this, there's no way I can mistake his voice. Though, it's quite astonishing to see him like this. A handsome man who can be mistaken as a college student or a young office worker. Not only that but his attitude and personality is quite charming and easygoing.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAyFqQBHui
"Thanks for helping me."
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnXuaTqHuT
"You're welcome and what were you doing in a place like that?"
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VMwLQ1t3z
"I was heading home and that way was a shortcut to my house, but as you saw, that man came up and tried to take me with him. I'm grateful that you stepped in and took me away."
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiWvVoG4eM
"All I did was get you out of an undesirable situation. Anyone would do the same."
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGYhljutqi
"No… I don't think so. I think it's because it's you who is willing to help me. Even when I didn't call for help, you still came and for that, I'm happy that you came for me."
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vrfDqQ9LN
"I'm glad that you are happy and all, but what do you mean because it's me? This is our first time meeting, isn't it?"
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0HM94qnru
"What are you talking about? You're Ena Haru-kun, right?"
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct2qR7lgVa
Just as Haru was about to take another sip, Yoko's words surprised him.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxmcpV9bZd
"Eh?"
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbWjAdLEYk
Oh? He got surprised and what's with that cute surprised face of his?! That's cheating!
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobkNUBuAbC
"I'm not wrong am I?"
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFi5ckoEQn
"No you're completely wrong!"
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm0pc2BDsk
"But-"
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIAXrISjFc
"You're wrong!"
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw14PQiyYEq
"Um…"
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7moxwFDvMU
"You're wrong!"
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsPIgfJu7T
"..."
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChMfGNFxUS
Him denying it is making it more obvious… Oh well, if only he would he could be more honest to himself. I'll just have to use my secret weapon.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVvr8T93NM
"If I'm wrong… then can I have your name?"
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjALbymuHB5
Did I do it…? Did I fool her?
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r0jtK9Kt0
"My name is Kousuke."
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcuKRQdyZ5
"Kousuke is it? Oh! Do you mind if I call a family member to let them know where I am?"
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gV1p2c4Le
"I don't mind. Please go ahead and inform them."
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIAZraip46
"Thank you!" Yoko takes out her phone and makes a phone call.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLekrJxdpYn
Haru goes back to his coffee and takes another sip. In his head, he begins to formulate a plan to escape.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG8jStFVVC
I'm glad Ami-senpai is safe. After her call, I'll leave here before she confirms my identity. I'll casually check my phone and pretend a friend texted me something important and then I'll leave. A perfect plan… Now all I have to do is wait.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYApo229Z6
Haru was smiling in his mind thinking he was successful, but his plan shattered before it came to fruition. Just as Yoko starts her phone call, Haru's phone begins to ring.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QlvBylDXO
Cold sweat forms on his temple and looks across the table and sees Yoko smiling at him. Haru's host instinct tells him that Yoko had him in her trap.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNSWv8RKQm
Haru lowers his cup back to the saucer and takes out his phone. The caller ID read Ami Yoko and Haru couldn't help but cringe for his mistake. Haru answers the call, "Hello…"
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaAyc4xnz2
"Ah! Big Brother! I'm sorry for worrying you and mom and dad, but can you tell them I'm well? I'm in a study group with some friends and I'll be home shortly."
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pL2WOWU6B
Haru is speechless and Yoko couldn't stop smiling at the current situation. "U-understood. I'll inform mom and dad…"
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad1N7DOEEt
"Thank you! I love you Big Brother!" Yoko hangs up and continues to smile in her complete victory. Haru begins to sulk and becomes gloomy.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSTfxtEl1S
Oh? He's sulking now. …That's still cheating! This makes me want to spoil him! When did Ena-kun become so adorable!?
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16OjthIh7v
I'm so embarrassed! Even though I'm the younger one here-! Agh!! Why did I say I was her older brother?!
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMqiIV3epu
"Ena-kun." Yoko calls out to him in a soft voice. Haru brings his head up and sees a gentle smile on her lips. "Yes Ami-senpai?"
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjN13opI1g
"Fufu~ Let's have a talk between you and I. Tell me everything about yourself and the self that you've hidden from everyone else. I'm interested in getting to know you."
