The school day has ended and the Student Council President Ami Yoko called Haru for his assistance.

"Excuse me, is Ami-senpai here?" Upon entering the teacher's lounge, he was scanning the room and saw his violet haired upperclassman talking to a teacher. "Oh, my helper is here. Please excuse me sensei. Ena-kun, I'm over here."

Haru walks over to Yoko and the both of them wave hi to each other. "I got your text Ami-senpai. What do you need me to do?"
430Please respect copyright.PENANAXBdCAyNHGu
"Thanks for coming to my aid Ena-kun. Can you help me carry these papers back to the student council room?" On the table beside her is a stack of papers, that's about the size of an unopened ream of paper, but stacked five more times on top of it.
430Please respect copyright.PENANA6EuPH9xG9o
Haru walks up to the stack of papers and carries it. "Oh? It's not that heavy." Haru didn't expect the stack to be light. He turns to Yoko and she smiles at him. "Thanks a lot! Let's go shall we?"

Haru and Yoko leave the teacher's lounge and head towards the Student Council Room that is on the third floor. The walk up the stairs was a little awkward but Haru managed to get up there! At the end of the hallway was the Student Council room. "Please come in, Ena-kun."
430Please respect copyright.PENANADk7rwl3Bmd
Yoko opens the door for Haru and Haru steps inside. "Wow, so this is the Student Council room."
430Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ka3ni5mjS
The student council room actually looks like an actual lounge unlike the teacher's lounge. There was a L-shaped sofa that surrounded a round table in the corner. It seems like this is where the members would have a small tea party. On the opposite side is a desk that was facing the entrance. This seems to be the desk where Yoko sits in while doing her duty as the Student Council President. On the opposite corner were a bunch of tables lined up next to each other. This is where the student council holds their meetings.

"Just leave the papers here Ena-kun." Haru follows her voice and sees her stand by her desk. Haru walks over and sets the stack of papers down. "Thank you for your help. Have a seat over there by the sofa. I'll prepare some tea for us."
430Please respect copyright.PENANAw4fxuY2uRZ
"I'll take up your offer then Ami-senpai." Haru heads over to the sofa and sits down. Haru sighs and lets his eyes wander around the room.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAJUk7PsKEIw
This is my first time being here despite being in school for two years. Since the school day just ended, I should have some time before I head out.

It was then that Haru remembers that Shou said that it was okay not to come to work today due to his sprained ankle. Speaking of his ankle, ever since he walked up three flights of stairs, his ankle has been hurting again.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Yoko was at the table with a tray. The tray had a teapot, teacups, and a few snacks. "Here you go." Yoko says as she serves her freshly brewed tea to Haru. Besides the tea was a piece of cake and upon further inspection, the frosting had small pieces of lemon zest. "Please try the lemon cake I made. It's a bit tart, but it should help replenish your energy."
430Please respect copyright.PENANAonHSaV4AeZ
"Thank you so much Ami-senpai."
430Please respect copyright.PENANAHExNy6gqe4
"It's your reward for helping me. Oh, let me also give you this for your troubles." Yoko takes something out from her skirt pocket and sets it down in front of Haru. What she placed down was two white pills. As soon as she puts down the pills, she walks back to her desk.
430Please respect copyright.PENANA9nxVs8vAAc
Are these painkillers?
430Please respect copyright.PENANAERGzxdxkir
Haru glances over to Yoko and their eyes meet for a brief moment. Yoko nods her head and smiles.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAvjxSOhLFSG
She's quite observant though thank you Ami-senpai. I really needed this.
430Please respect copyright.PENANA9U3EJg2ufH
Haru thanks her in his heart and swallows the painkillers. The pain in his ankle was distracting enough to force him to think about the pain, forgetting what was going on around him.
430Please respect copyright.PENANA8CzDLUKlJu
After spending some time with Yoko, Haru decides that it's time to leave. "I'll be leaving Ami-senpai. Thank you for the tea and cake."
430Please respect copyright.PENANAq3QejD8lVI
"You're welcome. Thanks again for your help. Please watch yourself as you leave the school and please take it easy at your part-time job."
430Please respect copyright.PENANA4o5Lis5MF6
Haru smiles, nods his head, and leaves the room.

Oh, Ena-kun just got home. I thought he went to his part-time job after school?
430Please respect copyright.PENANAGj3Rd5zeoy
As Shina was making her dinner, she heard Haru's door close. Shina is an observant woman who pays close attention to Haru. She remembers what time he wakes up, what time he goes to sleep, his favorite foods, cafes, and hobbies, but the one thing she doesn't know at all is what Haru does for his job.
430Please respect copyright.PENANASUvc8ehrX9
He's taking a shower? Is he planning to head out for dinner? I want to share some of my curry with him. I have to hurry before he leaves.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAMpIVMudMN1
Shina prepares a container filled with her freshly made curry. She went to a mirror to freshen up. Even if it was just for a moment, Shina wanted to appear her best whenever she met with Haru.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAT1SgKGJXlQ
Alright, I think this is good enough! I hope Haru will love my cooking! I made sure the sauce is mild and there's plenty of meat!
430Please respect copyright.PENANAKxedcwpLdA
Shina leaves her apartment and walks over to Haru's apartment. She takes a deep breath to calm her nerves and just as she was about to knock on his door-
430Please respect copyright.PENANA9H990ehpmi
The door opens up and she is met with a surreal moment. In front of her was a handsome man with a seductive emerald gaze who was also surprised by her sudden appearance. "Uh, can I help you?" The man asks.
430Please respect copyright.PENANATf4evv8VMA
"Oh! Um… is Ena-kun home?"
430Please respect copyright.PENANAgYGRd3zZYa
"Ena…kun?" The man pauses to think and realizes who she was talking about, "Oh? You mean Haru?"
430Please respect copyright.PENANA7iLZ4JmtwI
"Yes. I made curry for dinner and made a bit too much so I wanted to give this to him."
430Please respect copyright.PENANAO3IXDCeCf1
"Wow! Haru has such a cute girlfriend who makes him dinner! Sadly he isn't here at the moment, but I'll make sure to remind him that his girlfriend made him dinner."
430Please respect copyright.PENANAlngbx1fPvr
"No! No! I-I'm not his girlfriend! I'm just-just a classmate!"
430Please respect copyright.PENANAUcnOYo9CCl
"Really? But you're so cute! I swear that boy is missing out on his youth!"
430Please respect copyright.PENANA8curtqJtNC
Shina laughs and says, "Haha! Thank you. If I ever get to be his girlfriend, it'll be a dream come true."
430Please respect copyright.PENANA7BqYknMrx4
"Is that so? Oh, would you like to come in and leave the food on his table?" Shina accepts the offer and enters the apartment. She leaves the food on the table with a note and leaves.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAUbESYTvtNE
"Thank you for letting me leave the food inside."
430Please respect copyright.PENANATCkZC7dwV0
"You're welcome. I have to get going now so enjoy your evening."
430Please respect copyright.PENANAs3AnrCv8HN
"Thank you." The man waves goodbye and heads toward the elevator. Shina watches as his back grows smaller and smaller. Deep down, she wanted to ask for his name, but the words couldn't come out.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAWiaIStLLgi
The elevator doors open and he enters. As the doors were closing, the man gave her what she yearned. "I'm Kousuke."
430Please respect copyright.PENANA79WOtdanA5
It was nice meeting you. Kousuke was what she wanted to say.
