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?"

"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.
502Please respect copyright.PENANAdRhL3XkKbq
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."
502Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9gbZZ8V2C
Yoko opens the door for Haru and Haru steps inside. "Wow, so this is the Student Council room."
502Please respect copyright.PENANA3CG6V6sl6d
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."
502Please respect copyright.PENANAJnYmjCfzB2
"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.
502Please respect copyright.PENANAWk97VLP4p1
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."
502Please respect copyright.PENANAy3B06lWq1Q
"Thank you so much Ami-senpai."
502Please respect copyright.PENANAB86qE2MrUk
"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.
502Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7nOT8Ggan
Are these painkillers?
502Please respect copyright.PENANAm7hy2pBePv
Haru glances over to Yoko and their eyes meet for a brief moment. Yoko nods her head and smiles.
502Please respect copyright.PENANAVSmp2KzaJF
She's quite observant though thank you Ami-senpai. I really needed this.
502Please respect copyright.PENANAluCmaaAdPU
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.
502Please respect copyright.PENANAe3NvMyc7dt
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."
502Please respect copyright.PENANApG1THBLiT9
"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."
502Please respect copyright.PENANAkGdXIVHihh
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?
502Please respect copyright.PENANAhfQUrjZMmE
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.
502Please respect copyright.PENANA8DbXHrk6JV
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.
502Please respect copyright.PENANAaaluOzMei9
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.
502Please respect copyright.PENANAyz4SAyFqoY
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!
502Please respect copyright.PENANADeRcHudedF
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-
502Please respect copyright.PENANAKEyKQRcRhU
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.
502Please respect copyright.PENANAvKa2DheQQc
"Oh! Um… is Ena-kun home?"
502Please respect copyright.PENANA67yqcBPjLY
"Ena…kun?" The man pauses to think and realizes who she was talking about, "Oh? You mean Haru?"
502Please respect copyright.PENANAYeVWJCnqad
"Yes. I made curry for dinner and made a bit too much so I wanted to give this to him."
502Please respect copyright.PENANAx10SgxKEZn
"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."
502Please respect copyright.PENANAXOdnnd4dqg
"No! No! I-I'm not his girlfriend! I'm just-just a classmate!"
502Please respect copyright.PENANAXSc3p2BnXy
"Really? But you're so cute! I swear that boy is missing out on his youth!"
502Please respect copyright.PENANALLsCPs0cZK
Shina laughs and says, "Haha! Thank you. If I ever get to be his girlfriend, it'll be a dream come true."
502Please respect copyright.PENANAKtyseUkiif
"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.
502Please respect copyright.PENANAKfoXXi74sc
"Thank you for letting me leave the food inside."
502Please respect copyright.PENANAigbNZHjJdF
"You're welcome. I have to get going now so enjoy your evening."
502Please respect copyright.PENANAobv3A9qgdK
"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.
502Please respect copyright.PENANAfvArmN6vcq
The elevator doors open and he enters. As the doors were closing, the man gave her what she yearned. "I'm Kousuke."
502Please respect copyright.PENANAZbpXLgIdRp
It was nice meeting you. Kousuke was what she wanted to say.
