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!
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XVzc2GbOh
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMwI7djo6t
I don't know what to do so I guess I'll take a walk.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwISa1kmGZ
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnW3TjqBN8
"Hey, you're cute. Let's go have fun!"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5FM9bXTzy
"No! I don't want to go with you!"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPWdsR6fxz
Hm? Is someone being harassed?
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmV2ZKeWYp
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvg4rRSX30
"Hey! Stop that! Let go of me!"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb0qlOaV2i
"Don't be like th-!"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XSXYvqWig
"Hey!! I'm sorry for being late."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs94OqzVOm
" " Eh???" "
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSm75MrYo9
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."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72X8ckMPrh
"Eh? Bu-!"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GxKYclUOt
"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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5HhpvZBGe
"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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hoYb5l2hA
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ095IuHxx0y
"Thanks for helping me."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQFNe8RwCI
"You're welcome and what were you doing in a place like that?"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDgYbxxfP3
"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."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8LkiInEuL
"All I did was get you out of an undesirable situation. Anyone would do the same."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06I4Usmi84
"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."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEGpK9M5fY
"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?"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnIiGd5l4x
"What are you talking about? You're Ena Haru-kun, right?"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOCiRRG46w
Just as Haru was about to take another sip, Yoko's words surprised him.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBfOeJEyG0
"Eh?"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0NMnH6bfD
Oh? He got surprised and what's with that cute surprised face of his?! That's cheating!
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVbFwJMyZP
"I'm not wrong am I?"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2sx4MLg6H
"No you're completely wrong!"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBD7ZLIKRi
"But-"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWdszyOI8p
"You're wrong!"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKqAY5V7HW
"Um…"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTMAnutrP5
"You're wrong!"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5UZwEPXAr
"..."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbUvowapef
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gswsxr5JW
"If I'm wrong… then can I have your name?"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xNWXspqRe
Did I do it…? Did I fool her?
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xJ0t84D3w
"My name is Kousuke."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBXXbM0XxV
"Kousuke is it? Oh! Do you mind if I call a family member to let them know where I am?"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDKdUMZZxo
"I don't mind. Please go ahead and inform them."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcyC3xaynD
"Thank you!" Yoko takes out her phone and makes a phone call.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEFtrvLiAc
Haru goes back to his coffee and takes another sip. In his head, he begins to formulate a plan to escape.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1UYw3uoTc
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNGlAwIftt
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfzFvO63FL
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt44YVgSpg
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…"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f8RRnPRgz
"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."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv7i2kXl5Q
Haru is speechless and Yoko couldn't stop smiling at the current situation. "U-understood. I'll inform mom and dad…"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O9mYPCXwm
"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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gbi48BzZi
Oh? He's sulking now. …That's still cheating! This makes me want to spoil him! When did Ena-kun become so adorable!?
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q85Pwd0Lm
I'm so embarrassed! Even though I'm the younger one here-! Agh!! Why did I say I was her older brother?!
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QxwlbVCBX
"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?"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GTAnk42Lm
"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."
