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."
290Please respect copyright.PENANAuWN4ocWjeF
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?"
290Please respect copyright.PENANAo3fkHsxgYJ
"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.
290Please respect copyright.PENANAw1mZYPHgCt
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?"
290Please respect copyright.PENANAqeFMYRDnJR
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."
290Please respect copyright.PENANAiEalRRMdv0
Yoko opens the door for Haru and Haru steps inside. "Wow, so this is the Student Council room."
290Please respect copyright.PENANAkhS32Ig24I
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."
290Please respect copyright.PENANAs52xlVDmF1
"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.
290Please respect copyright.PENANApLmhYt43Nu
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."
290Please respect copyright.PENANAhB8ZOf6ZjV
"Thank you so much Ami-senpai."
290Please respect copyright.PENANAlrEMS5N2yJ
"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.
290Please respect copyright.PENANAOLoJ8tqcn2
Are these painkillers?
290Please respect copyright.PENANA5eXrDDF8e9
Haru glances over to Yoko and their eyes meet for a brief moment. Yoko nods her head and smiles.
290Please respect copyright.PENANAlvH4DXJVKu
She's quite observant though thank you Ami-senpai. I really needed this.
290Please respect copyright.PENANAhTN3CRbJ6G
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.
290Please respect copyright.PENANA28RotM7rfS
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."
290Please respect copyright.PENANA4HFQGqohmR
"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."
290Please respect copyright.PENANAwJCID6cGyN
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?
290Please respect copyright.PENANAMsOarHKEYt
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.
290Please respect copyright.PENANAS0xewJn2Vu
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.
290Please respect copyright.PENANARG66QjWHu3
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.
290Please respect copyright.PENANAAGMyXo2xHl
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!
290Please respect copyright.PENANAc75DmazNo6
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-
290Please respect copyright.PENANA0JGmAjJxv2
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.
290Please respect copyright.PENANAG5VD0kVLRe
"Oh! Um… is Ena-kun home?"
290Please respect copyright.PENANAW0pUaTkK5L
"Ena…kun?" The man pauses to think and realizes who she was talking about, "Oh? You mean Haru?"
290Please respect copyright.PENANAOTgpWg5Nr5
"Yes. I made curry for dinner and made a bit too much so I wanted to give this to him."
290Please respect copyright.PENANAz0JwbIdlaz
"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."
290Please respect copyright.PENANA8mvE5JDTgo
"No! No! I-I'm not his girlfriend! I'm just-just a classmate!"
290Please respect copyright.PENANAi7gmtT73Nn
"Really? But you're so cute! I swear that boy is missing out on his youth!"
290Please respect copyright.PENANAfoYNikC8MZ
Shina laughs and says, "Haha! Thank you. If I ever get to be his girlfriend, it'll be a dream come true."
290Please respect copyright.PENANAMJq1wffcMn
"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.
290Please respect copyright.PENANAhDLjoWkGVK
"Thank you for letting me leave the food inside."
290Please respect copyright.PENANAM2z6tdErdA
"You're welcome. I have to get going now so enjoy your evening."
290Please respect copyright.PENANAIzvnOLnEEl
"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.
290Please respect copyright.PENANAwhnHqoBnWW
The elevator doors open and he enters. As the doors were closing, the man gave her what she yearned. "I'm Kousuke."
290Please respect copyright.PENANAvuOIaHD3UO
It was nice meeting you. Kousuke was what she wanted to say.
