The school day has ended and the Student Council President Ami Yoko called Haru for his assistance.

"Excuse me, is Ami-senpai here?" Upon entering the teacher's lounge, he was scanning the room and saw his violet haired upperclassman talking to a teacher. "Oh, my helper is here. Please excuse me sensei. Ena-kun, I'm over here."

Haru walks over to Yoko and the both of them wave hi to each other. "I got your text Ami-senpai. What do you need me to do?"
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQjaQysFU0
"Thanks for coming to my aid Ena-kun. Can you help me carry these papers back to the student council room?" On the table beside her is a stack of papers, that's about the size of an unopened ream of paper, but stacked five more times on top of it.

Haru walks up to the stack of papers and carries it. "Oh? It's not that heavy." Haru didn't expect the stack to be light. He turns to Yoko and she smiles at him. "Thanks a lot! Let's go shall we?"
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY8cDKKQkf
Haru and Yoko leave the teacher's lounge and head towards the Student Council Room that is on the third floor. The walk up the stairs was a little awkward but Haru managed to get up there! At the end of the hallway was the Student Council room. "Please come in, Ena-kun."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNunGntXjkw
Yoko opens the door for Haru and Haru steps inside. "Wow, so this is the Student Council room."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOZ3Vtlvx8
The student council room actually looks like an actual lounge unlike the teacher's lounge. There was a L-shaped sofa that surrounded a round table in the corner. It seems like this is where the members would have a small tea party. On the opposite side is a desk that was facing the entrance. This seems to be the desk where Yoko sits in while doing her duty as the Student Council President. On the opposite corner were a bunch of tables lined up next to each other. This is where the student council holds their meetings.

"Just leave the papers here Ena-kun." Haru follows her voice and sees her stand by her desk. Haru walks over and sets the stack of papers down. "Thank you for your help. Have a seat over there by the sofa. I'll prepare some tea for us."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f5sP63pSJ
"I'll take up your offer then Ami-senpai." Haru heads over to the sofa and sits down. Haru sighs and lets his eyes wander around the room.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE0t2JGehG
This is my first time being here despite being in school for two years. Since the school day just ended, I should have some time before I head out.

It was then that Haru remembers that Shou said that it was okay not to come to work today due to his sprained ankle. Speaking of his ankle, ever since he walked up three flights of stairs, his ankle has been hurting again.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Yoko was at the table with a tray. The tray had a teapot, teacups, and a few snacks. "Here you go." Yoko says as she serves her freshly brewed tea to Haru. Besides the tea was a piece of cake and upon further inspection, the frosting had small pieces of lemon zest. "Please try the lemon cake I made. It's a bit tart, but it should help replenish your energy."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRu8gJV8Bw
"Thank you so much Ami-senpai."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ds3sVjOZ7
"It's your reward for helping me. Oh, let me also give you this for your troubles." Yoko takes something out from her skirt pocket and sets it down in front of Haru. What she placed down was two white pills. As soon as she puts down the pills, she walks back to her desk.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB3wNYM1HW
Are these painkillers?
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcPBPcwaTL
Haru glances over to Yoko and their eyes meet for a brief moment. Yoko nods her head and smiles.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN0Tw7Wuhi
She's quite observant though thank you Ami-senpai. I really needed this.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EJy2QQaDT
Haru thanks her in his heart and swallows the painkillers. The pain in his ankle was distracting enough to force him to think about the pain, forgetting what was going on around him.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL79oaLK20x
After spending some time with Yoko, Haru decides that it's time to leave. "I'll be leaving Ami-senpai. Thank you for the tea and cake."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2T4HCoXyF
"You're welcome. Thanks again for your help. Please watch yourself as you leave the school and please take it easy at your part-time job."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qBtML000g
Haru smiles, nods his head, and leaves the room.

Oh, Ena-kun just got home. I thought he went to his part-time job after school?
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBn1NseAIy
As Shina was making her dinner, she heard Haru's door close. Shina is an observant woman who pays close attention to Haru. She remembers what time he wakes up, what time he goes to sleep, his favorite foods, cafes, and hobbies, but the one thing she doesn't know at all is what Haru does for his job.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysNXW3vuij
He's taking a shower? Is he planning to head out for dinner? I want to share some of my curry with him. I have to hurry before he leaves.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIkr3JAVsw
Shina prepares a container filled with her freshly made curry. She went to a mirror to freshen up. Even if it was just for a moment, Shina wanted to appear her best whenever she met with Haru.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xONGvELuH
Alright, I think this is good enough! I hope Haru will love my cooking! I made sure the sauce is mild and there's plenty of meat!
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WnaTgBTFA
Shina leaves her apartment and walks over to Haru's apartment. She takes a deep breath to calm her nerves and just as she was about to knock on his door-
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzFSGtYacz
The door opens up and she is met with a surreal moment. In front of her was a handsome man with a seductive emerald gaze who was also surprised by her sudden appearance. "Uh, can I help you?" The man asks.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIvUskGvXp
"Oh! Um… is Ena-kun home?"
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyJWlr12Nv
"Ena…kun?" The man pauses to think and realizes who she was talking about, "Oh? You mean Haru?"
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFCUdGu90J
"Yes. I made curry for dinner and made a bit too much so I wanted to give this to him."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6W1IJj4tI
"Wow! Haru has such a cute girlfriend who makes him dinner! Sadly he isn't here at the moment, but I'll make sure to remind him that his girlfriend made him dinner."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59XE69d2V9
"No! No! I-I'm not his girlfriend! I'm just-just a classmate!"
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLp2qqERpx
"Really? But you're so cute! I swear that boy is missing out on his youth!"
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXiWP7wt50
Shina laughs and says, "Haha! Thank you. If I ever get to be his girlfriend, it'll be a dream come true."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJAEy5fL4Y
"Is that so? Oh, would you like to come in and leave the food on his table?" Shina accepts the offer and enters the apartment. She leaves the food on the table with a note and leaves.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm0BKOIyJK
"Thank you for letting me leave the food inside."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Eo2l4KEhZ
"You're welcome. I have to get going now so enjoy your evening."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAW3ChtHwQ
"Thank you." The man waves goodbye and heads toward the elevator. Shina watches as his back grows smaller and smaller. Deep down, she wanted to ask for his name, but the words couldn't come out.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMdb2g5xHK
The elevator doors open and he enters. As the doors were closing, the man gave her what she yearned. "I'm Kousuke."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXHg9JLjio
It was nice meeting you. Kousuke was what she wanted to say.
