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!
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZdyarEC7z
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.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPFzreR9Zs
I don't know what to do so I guess I'll take a walk.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB5C2zNJIr
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.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqFRLOHO2X
"Hey, you're cute. Let's go have fun!"
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjj9kTLMnQ
"No! I don't want to go with you!"
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1JXaaILwi
Hm? Is someone being harassed?
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIMipGzhPd
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.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV036Z8N4M
"Hey! Stop that! Let go of me!"
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjDTmnPAMh
"Don't be like th-!"
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFCM3l5F1t
"Hey!! I'm sorry for being late."
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxOVD3HnAv
" " Eh???" "
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuvOFgTDHB
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."
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPibwKspRbr
"Eh? Bu-!"
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5NhWnBQIe
"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.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwR3NpAIrN
"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.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9hgOhPnyN
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.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKEFzT3IOQ
"Thanks for helping me."
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv6MqQ5aql
"You're welcome and what were you doing in a place like that?"
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3L3oXLJ2i
"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."
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJMtIWEGZY
"All I did was get you out of an undesirable situation. Anyone would do the same."
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9befvmyD49
"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."
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CjEwlyIYr
"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?"
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMfrrLZy7B
"What are you talking about? You're Ena Haru-kun, right?"
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWrYstL4VL
Just as Haru was about to take another sip, Yoko's words surprised him.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMcx4rzr5h
"Eh?"
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjYHbraHe1
Oh? He got surprised and what's with that cute surprised face of his?! That's cheating!
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZRWDb5TU2
"I'm not wrong am I?"
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G2rBslhAY
"No you're completely wrong!"
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvu8kKQUgk
"But-"
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC3lgdvB5u
"You're wrong!"
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9AOdmOhEi
"Um…"
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B224hhMUF
"You're wrong!"
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlNkoUhDJb
"..."
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSBl2T4V5p
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.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeg3K7eQRa
"If I'm wrong… then can I have your name?"
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi7soHeEIC
Did I do it…? Did I fool her?
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx09NrcPbc
"My name is Kousuke."
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglvJHazew3
"Kousuke is it? Oh! Do you mind if I call a family member to let them know where I am?"
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRM3HDGfqE
"I don't mind. Please go ahead and inform them."
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPNnWQTpnd
"Thank you!" Yoko takes out her phone and makes a phone call.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4d0TxoaYh
Haru goes back to his coffee and takes another sip. In his head, he begins to formulate a plan to escape.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZeJ216Bwf
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.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTsfEmfJ3u
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.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xzqzZE3I0
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.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIGNFdJUwf
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…"
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWqz6VhtJd
"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."
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYUBiKdeUi
Haru is speechless and Yoko couldn't stop smiling at the current situation. "U-understood. I'll inform mom and dad…"
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36SsGon0tG
"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.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFTSShwJc5
Oh? He's sulking now. …That's still cheating! This makes me want to spoil him! When did Ena-kun become so adorable!?
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2169NxajB
I'm so embarrassed! Even though I'm the younger one here-! Agh!! Why did I say I was her older brother?!
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBS32pF3or
"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?"
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqKkm4UVgC
"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."
