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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd1JXs2A6i
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpeuQG5nZR
I don't know what to do so I guess I'll take a walk.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtBfo26aEb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eYHuAu2F3
"Hey, you're cute. Let's go have fun!"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4d8pFpxGo
"No! I don't want to go with you!"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wZHR8XwPN
Hm? Is someone being harassed?
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifGuez64fM
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6AgZPwFF0
"Hey! Stop that! Let go of me!"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLVVSvyt8N
"Don't be like th-!"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcwQU7tZN2
"Hey!! I'm sorry for being late."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH2erS4WhE
" " Eh???" "
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQAHb8EB9j
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YjsJTtB9Y
"Eh? Bu-!"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxpAt5rP29
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPtlDGMUt0
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5mYJAO2W8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdurCITRjzb
"Thanks for helping me."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTFCdz0xhv
"You're welcome and what were you doing in a place like that?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9eMLW1SBk
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeD8zsDcOg
"All I did was get you out of an undesirable situation. Anyone would do the same."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlWDyvGeQW
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNwOabSpNJ
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi15AyOnfZ
"What are you talking about? You're Ena Haru-kun, right?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ203PKen2N
Just as Haru was about to take another sip, Yoko's words surprised him.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW2bmbmhHJ
"Eh?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXAI7RKxEx
Oh? He got surprised and what's with that cute surprised face of his?! That's cheating!
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0SqjFqyv9
"I'm not wrong am I?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQSmwJtlzh
"No you're completely wrong!"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOy3qogXz7
"But-"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xb7ACdfmi
"You're wrong!"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFZc9wiLLh
"Um…"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6nvCA5ngN
"You're wrong!"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYI74S73L6
"..."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x8djTbmuR
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf15HVSY9yS
"If I'm wrong… then can I have your name?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l4AxoTYvB
Did I do it…? Did I fool her?
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFbNSJT935
"My name is Kousuke."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHv9viAd31
"Kousuke is it? Oh! Do you mind if I call a family member to let them know where I am?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnfc1oHFOV
"I don't mind. Please go ahead and inform them."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2FZedUEw3
"Thank you!" Yoko takes out her phone and makes a phone call.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDpcpfDc3H
Haru goes back to his coffee and takes another sip. In his head, he begins to formulate a plan to escape.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNSsqRTMHF
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pBZQMN6i5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXk35Yczjf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPSRfzv8Wb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVhIb2qi7y
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tc73Ce7fV
Haru is speechless and Yoko couldn't stop smiling at the current situation. "U-understood. I'll inform mom and dad…"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeHeZU9iMO
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYTNXvzHT8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gzYJeglvY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoma8qAbEc
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcz0027Aoc
"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."
