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!
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2VktFEqmN
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.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoisVnwviub
I don't know what to do so I guess I'll take a walk.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZYGuOEqOH
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.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljO0B5gIYx
"Hey, you're cute. Let's go have fun!"
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL3h21EFPW
"No! I don't want to go with you!"
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwksy0NS7rw
Hm? Is someone being harassed?
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNueMlj79J
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.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOIE2fHduy
"Hey! Stop that! Let go of me!"
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid3xrb51FY
"Don't be like th-!"
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ9p5gSKwC
"Hey!! I'm sorry for being late."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80LP4isW5G
" " Eh???" "
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhK72cNgdT
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."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeusTcEZ3d
"Eh? Bu-!"
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSAXgjyH72
"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.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z0S5Nwpjv
"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.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM59sRNdEnl
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.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPP4YbYey3
"Thanks for helping me."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhifvM67fs
"You're welcome and what were you doing in a place like that?"
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA96nSz60H
"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."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nHTpLDOYo
"All I did was get you out of an undesirable situation. Anyone would do the same."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YF4VMhHDN
"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."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpg6N4EGjv
"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?"
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3vQqEr9mo
"What are you talking about? You're Ena Haru-kun, right?"
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8MWzyZNX0
Just as Haru was about to take another sip, Yoko's words surprised him.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXsbCT2ezV
"Eh?"
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ5xWvMfRl
Oh? He got surprised and what's with that cute surprised face of his?! That's cheating!
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5iqtlNeKa
"I'm not wrong am I?"
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRwG9WjInq
"No you're completely wrong!"
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OmgltRQIN
"But-"
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrGsJaCenp
"You're wrong!"
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe2kLORhID
"Um…"
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHhIRoRW5o
"You're wrong!"
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96dAZV4WtN
"..."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyvmpNMJdv
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.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyL29xYUsB
"If I'm wrong… then can I have your name?"
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflvJPNzupW
Did I do it…? Did I fool her?
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVKGfi5nRk
"My name is Kousuke."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfDwV7jLB5
"Kousuke is it? Oh! Do you mind if I call a family member to let them know where I am?"
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWyyX6Vtc9
"I don't mind. Please go ahead and inform them."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv010bGdSj
"Thank you!" Yoko takes out her phone and makes a phone call.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDG0UBrIi1
Haru goes back to his coffee and takes another sip. In his head, he begins to formulate a plan to escape.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwn7A2GZww
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.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchPI4PGkLN
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.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtO6DC3aAJ
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.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25B1GkTj4J
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…"
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcLUhHM6vv
"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."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbyLJQAFb7
Haru is speechless and Yoko couldn't stop smiling at the current situation. "U-understood. I'll inform mom and dad…"
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaYA0xHor5
"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.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRgmXXYq0N
Oh? He's sulking now. …That's still cheating! This makes me want to spoil him! When did Ena-kun become so adorable!?
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVkpykl97z
I'm so embarrassed! Even though I'm the younger one here-! Agh!! Why did I say I was her older brother?!
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmwsVzlMaI
"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?"
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKFHlYfx72
"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."
