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!
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPUUJwt2B2
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.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkXICfxgAo
I don't know what to do so I guess I'll take a walk.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhME62o6ghh
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.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzPjWDj3ge
"Hey, you're cute. Let's go have fun!"
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCiFjAEDsF
"No! I don't want to go with you!"
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1KD8GfpqH
Hm? Is someone being harassed?
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2rg0oGAkO
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.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ6ZeUeIqp
"Hey! Stop that! Let go of me!"
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmI6HwQ3TQ
"Don't be like th-!"
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCUw9J9f0u
"Hey!! I'm sorry for being late."
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoztO322r3
" " Eh???" "
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SWRGI2ZbM
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."
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaHOJoUw17
"Eh? Bu-!"
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WRfx9jHXh
"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.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfwJP05Htj
"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.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9ZKEFmIgT
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.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXea2PxV9U7
"Thanks for helping me."
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOsnxo0wwo
"You're welcome and what were you doing in a place like that?"
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN32SHIhyBW
"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."
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTztB3QxV8
"All I did was get you out of an undesirable situation. Anyone would do the same."
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cyPYnjs1l
"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."
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYe8jcu5og
"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?"
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0N9Wlo1Cg
"What are you talking about? You're Ena Haru-kun, right?"
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnkG1v0Xp8
Just as Haru was about to take another sip, Yoko's words surprised him.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kp2F4Gc7h
"Eh?"
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybCl4Sbubu
Oh? He got surprised and what's with that cute surprised face of his?! That's cheating!
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxo0cwggEc
"I'm not wrong am I?"
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQlP0D3eAc
"No you're completely wrong!"
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Bm1skaN7J
"But-"
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriTOPnuRHH
"You're wrong!"
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSV7IbTVYD
"Um…"
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OMDIgM5jd
"You're wrong!"
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmXcQhGnlX
"..."
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxVFV7MONx
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.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7qxwuSzDo
"If I'm wrong… then can I have your name?"
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ga7gShMMZ
Did I do it…? Did I fool her?
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJpstXuJtV
"My name is Kousuke."
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJvDgRTtNc
"Kousuke is it? Oh! Do you mind if I call a family member to let them know where I am?"
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlhgiNyKDn
"I don't mind. Please go ahead and inform them."
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjBrbp72zT
"Thank you!" Yoko takes out her phone and makes a phone call.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s3CNvSKwZ
Haru goes back to his coffee and takes another sip. In his head, he begins to formulate a plan to escape.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSHkd29nrC
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.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4NGpvD2Bw
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.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LIMYcI3yU
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.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwBRXkrcgL
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…"
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfGXreYyql
"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."
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgugztPrPjb
Haru is speechless and Yoko couldn't stop smiling at the current situation. "U-understood. I'll inform mom and dad…"
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb79ThXMnos
"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.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH90G1ZzDF4
Oh? He's sulking now. …That's still cheating! This makes me want to spoil him! When did Ena-kun become so adorable!?
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpBvVtnDec
I'm so embarrassed! Even though I'm the younger one here-! Agh!! Why did I say I was her older brother?!
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLayyKh1DxF
"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?"
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjavNlUxDK
"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."
