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!
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYzs0O7ZKg
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.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjoxhFOhm8
I don't know what to do so I guess I'll take a walk.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwTvXDWLkw
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.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6t7phQoWv
"Hey, you're cute. Let's go have fun!"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjQkKzUtUG
"No! I don't want to go with you!"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYcVywSleT
Hm? Is someone being harassed?
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeW1Nzf81d
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.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlYKnRcXsF
"Hey! Stop that! Let go of me!"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEwF1ccHk1
"Don't be like th-!"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78CcWrgst2
"Hey!! I'm sorry for being late."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbRbcDGRDa
" " Eh???" "
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4AwqfCQWE
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."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7I0Z0699Q
"Eh? Bu-!"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY72Zz7bi2
"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.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmHTIwPLZg
"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.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8UrGWY1Nx
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.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7BnmKUNPA
"Thanks for helping me."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbFSObdprT
"You're welcome and what were you doing in a place like that?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTfdKjQv8v
"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."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBqg9bxM68
"All I did was get you out of an undesirable situation. Anyone would do the same."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy96qsMlQz5
"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."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMKk9SHluT
"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?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LugaO3wP7
"What are you talking about? You're Ena Haru-kun, right?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxw1LlSLkI
Just as Haru was about to take another sip, Yoko's words surprised him.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswSqyNv00i
"Eh?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrTGizpQ8y
Oh? He got surprised and what's with that cute surprised face of his?! That's cheating!
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6Zezv2TZM
"I'm not wrong am I?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdZApYu3HT
"No you're completely wrong!"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H2l5yLvFT
"But-"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES2fdSQucC
"You're wrong!"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipNeKIBrzN
"Um…"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGWxQTqqgP
"You're wrong!"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tMsmQ3mgx
"..."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp7t1xItqN
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.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fnw1PiF9v
"If I'm wrong… then can I have your name?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4AUIdagjP
Did I do it…? Did I fool her?
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xn8s2UYu7
"My name is Kousuke."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTPoznueVS
"Kousuke is it? Oh! Do you mind if I call a family member to let them know where I am?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45JnnXgDEt
"I don't mind. Please go ahead and inform them."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0qf0KMlyi
"Thank you!" Yoko takes out her phone and makes a phone call.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqy13oq4MZ
Haru goes back to his coffee and takes another sip. In his head, he begins to formulate a plan to escape.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbQPxXIrFf
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.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzukuYHggvb
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.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVZYxMYvK1
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.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5tXlRR5u3
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…"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx8E2NoZgI
"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."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bz0oEdXI4
Haru is speechless and Yoko couldn't stop smiling at the current situation. "U-understood. I'll inform mom and dad…"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxV7Gj4sYN
"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.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2a54DkTUq
Oh? He's sulking now. …That's still cheating! This makes me want to spoil him! When did Ena-kun become so adorable!?
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfzKv12N5S
I'm so embarrassed! Even though I'm the younger one here-! Agh!! Why did I say I was her older brother?!
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXnX9inttT
"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?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyFPe3X3T3
"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."
