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!
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7Bw1l5bPI
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.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGV2YqFWaf
I don't know what to do so I guess I'll take a walk.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe5hsSV2lW
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.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVZoqjvt1I
"Hey, you're cute. Let's go have fun!"
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSz9kDccoO
"No! I don't want to go with you!"
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdvZ6MbRlW
Hm? Is someone being harassed?
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDZeQCHSSp
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.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6TmZOlLkE
"Hey! Stop that! Let go of me!"
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYFv9yduD3
"Don't be like th-!"
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPozlLhxrW
"Hey!! I'm sorry for being late."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiMIQe0UKK
" " Eh???" "
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrno5Hz4rUC
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."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGTejebtDf
"Eh? Bu-!"
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCJI0iAa5b
"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.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu0nkFSi4H
"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.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZMl1ea6zi
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.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4xndo7H1H
"Thanks for helping me."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUGodfhQIL
"You're welcome and what were you doing in a place like that?"
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjnYIw4m2X
"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."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m5mZfCd6U
"All I did was get you out of an undesirable situation. Anyone would do the same."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnuoOppnYs
"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."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZRuc8AZF4
"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?"
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgECRa8aJP
"What are you talking about? You're Ena Haru-kun, right?"
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSxPqgtiwL
Just as Haru was about to take another sip, Yoko's words surprised him.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm8InIAqtC
"Eh?"
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UYYFW7zcQ
Oh? He got surprised and what's with that cute surprised face of his?! That's cheating!
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe4ioyy2ln
"I'm not wrong am I?"
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOVcu92b8V
"No you're completely wrong!"
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTk1fVe41d
"But-"
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYVZR2IBbU
"You're wrong!"
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4INAqZOpT
"Um…"
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdbaJoqfB0
"You're wrong!"
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEtiPFvGQY
"..."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgenlGE7pr
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.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5H7G0714v
"If I'm wrong… then can I have your name?"
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGk4RRyvKb
Did I do it…? Did I fool her?
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH937Ex1uq
"My name is Kousuke."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaobx14bNpj
"Kousuke is it? Oh! Do you mind if I call a family member to let them know where I am?"
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSMq8ppxLJ
"I don't mind. Please go ahead and inform them."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qjheZ2nq7
"Thank you!" Yoko takes out her phone and makes a phone call.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ck8oA4Ajs
Haru goes back to his coffee and takes another sip. In his head, he begins to formulate a plan to escape.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZVCqXTAe3
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.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3CnnhCCOK
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.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmbhVyQmFj
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.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR7qmCVUEj
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…"
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeJwqTqgI5
"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."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GAtWzKIsO
Haru is speechless and Yoko couldn't stop smiling at the current situation. "U-understood. I'll inform mom and dad…"
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwAkLahv43
"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.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqvzOq73lp
Oh? He's sulking now. …That's still cheating! This makes me want to spoil him! When did Ena-kun become so adorable!?
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq99pRCgkg
I'm so embarrassed! Even though I'm the younger one here-! Agh!! Why did I say I was her older brother?!
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QYRPZwufe
"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?"
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRifj6w9YW4
"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."
