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!
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIS4OJC4Ah
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAyM02xwnB
I don't know what to do so I guess I'll take a walk.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj9tCHmN1V
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApSUB8gM91
"Hey, you're cute. Let's go have fun!"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlfd6U87C2
"No! I don't want to go with you!"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULLuYw1lzP
Hm? Is someone being harassed?
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rBEb0OAQV
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzCUZeAkvJ
"Hey! Stop that! Let go of me!"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd30TpIbji
"Don't be like th-!"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zQM7vZaLA
"Hey!! I'm sorry for being late."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYQzfT94jK
" " Eh???" "
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKny4GxDRVo
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."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3JWVqhQQf
"Eh? Bu-!"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NaM9mzv0P
"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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd1temPgBQ
"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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGRO5rArb5
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc3seE64mX
"Thanks for helping me."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zVI4rTHbS
"You're welcome and what were you doing in a place like that?"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65dDtAROPX
"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."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV9utojEZw
"All I did was get you out of an undesirable situation. Anyone would do the same."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTUV9D4Kc4
"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."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN34mESMGfe
"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?"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF6hiPih8w
"What are you talking about? You're Ena Haru-kun, right?"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzAaMOodPP
Just as Haru was about to take another sip, Yoko's words surprised him.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYxLZWpyPa
"Eh?"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdCMnQRF0u
Oh? He got surprised and what's with that cute surprised face of his?! That's cheating!
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqv5zbCOdH
"I'm not wrong am I?"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r9xweXMcy
"No you're completely wrong!"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMm7wqT0Cd
"But-"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDH5R9bqt4
"You're wrong!"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzQgz5oD2a
"Um…"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uwp3H89Yz
"You're wrong!"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhy0mNIo4k
"..."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6XL835heI
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCELs5vxxDh
"If I'm wrong… then can I have your name?"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNa3mxmqFH
Did I do it…? Did I fool her?
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZF2M9dOD9
"My name is Kousuke."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Zt6TQdnIT
"Kousuke is it? Oh! Do you mind if I call a family member to let them know where I am?"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrqnWTn4OD
"I don't mind. Please go ahead and inform them."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsBjdIA5sh
"Thank you!" Yoko takes out her phone and makes a phone call.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi5Jpe1GbW
Haru goes back to his coffee and takes another sip. In his head, he begins to formulate a plan to escape.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7mCWydqVY
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzvNV5fHd6
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzhYqnFX7E
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ24euAMAf
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…"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzUwBsGZpr
"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."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SDpi2KEou
Haru is speechless and Yoko couldn't stop smiling at the current situation. "U-understood. I'll inform mom and dad…"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJErSwKEJ4
"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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl4gCFZaEf
Oh? He's sulking now. …That's still cheating! This makes me want to spoil him! When did Ena-kun become so adorable!?
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmbGNezGST
I'm so embarrassed! Even though I'm the younger one here-! Agh!! Why did I say I was her older brother?!
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkOFTZxz0j
"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?"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfRLpY2ZMM
"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."
