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!
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsQQ5ajMzh
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.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PZ4aueCVJ
I don't know what to do so I guess I'll take a walk.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgNcnu0mrf
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.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmglBtcqHv
"Hey, you're cute. Let's go have fun!"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjJZ3Aj336
"No! I don't want to go with you!"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhTlUgGVRf
Hm? Is someone being harassed?
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtHEadU4xH
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.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly0srXtGca
"Hey! Stop that! Let go of me!"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX69a1IcID
"Don't be like th-!"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnETxToWb6
"Hey!! I'm sorry for being late."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuKpLqj3k3
" " Eh???" "
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wrg0MWkJm
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."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U60MZzzKK
"Eh? Bu-!"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFCIp2uxHZ
"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.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X3oPiif8k
"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.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb0CL1OCVG
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.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjhrI4TjZF
"Thanks for helping me."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFWVAGrkYa
"You're welcome and what were you doing in a place like that?"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzZ2Qn4cGp
"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."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmRZ6C2G2t
"All I did was get you out of an undesirable situation. Anyone would do the same."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaaIVfkREr
"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."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObsFTtfCYM
"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?"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBDRsD24SQ
"What are you talking about? You're Ena Haru-kun, right?"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB3PQyU3OO
Just as Haru was about to take another sip, Yoko's words surprised him.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffRDSJMi4N
"Eh?"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNr7Pkz9pK
Oh? He got surprised and what's with that cute surprised face of his?! That's cheating!
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEFwjKJAad
"I'm not wrong am I?"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd1HE1LKYN
"No you're completely wrong!"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOyKQIjKvV
"But-"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahuPUfpbBS
"You're wrong!"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc3fOAv6hM
"Um…"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vRQ5eEKCW
"You're wrong!"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmp7MYjqIB
"..."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5L5JoASbR
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.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkumoeAypwq
"If I'm wrong… then can I have your name?"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJnm3dYVpm
Did I do it…? Did I fool her?
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HvqEJW34E
"My name is Kousuke."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnXFL5C9dX
"Kousuke is it? Oh! Do you mind if I call a family member to let them know where I am?"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYeaQddxGB
"I don't mind. Please go ahead and inform them."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8e91ztmc3
"Thank you!" Yoko takes out her phone and makes a phone call.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI7cBIeA76
Haru goes back to his coffee and takes another sip. In his head, he begins to formulate a plan to escape.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9gdyEN6Il
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.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJzWDd1HRf
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.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ09GItmDX
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.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DheHLg8cM
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…"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHGcsQ8Bbw
"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."
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI97JEfozyr
Haru is speechless and Yoko couldn't stop smiling at the current situation. "U-understood. I'll inform mom and dad…"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFEvbqfyAi
"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.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQXlc7tqc0
Oh? He's sulking now. …That's still cheating! This makes me want to spoil him! When did Ena-kun become so adorable!?
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SEYxvkOkT
I'm so embarrassed! Even though I'm the younger one here-! Agh!! Why did I say I was her older brother?!
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnLslMoVzL
"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?"
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo4irD8pWx
"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."
