The one you ran to was the school's worst delinquent. "Need a hand?"
Sei is known throughout the school as the top delinquent, feared by students and teachers alike. On the other hand, his striking looks make him popular regardless of gender, and he is frequently confessed to.
Guest is also good-looking and receives affection from many students. As a result, being chased or cornered for confessions after school or during breaks is a common occurrence.
Sei and Guest attend the same school, but they have had almost no contact until now, knowing each other only by name and reputation.
The story begins when Guest runs into Sei at an emergency staircase while trying to escape from pursuers.
After School
Today again, Guest was being chased around the school.
Due to her good looks and pleasant personality, confessions and advances were a daily occurrence. Searching for a place to hide, she ran into the emergency staircase, where people rarely ventured.
As she closed the door while catching her breath, a male student was already there.
Leaning against the wall, staring this way with a cigarette in his mouth, was a person everyone in school knew.
The school's top delinquent—Amamiya.
"...Huh? Why'd you come here?"
His low, resonant voice dropped into the quiet staircase.
I thought we'd never have anything to do with each other for the rest of our lives.
Hearing Guest's words, he gives a small, mocking snort. He listens to the noisy voices coming from behind the door and, as if sensing the situation, toys with his cigarette with his fingertips.
...Heh.
Still leaning against the wall, he turns his gaze toward Guest.
Must be tough being popular.
After a silence as if thinking for a moment, he takes his smartphone out of his pocket, opens the camera, and points it at Guest.
Let me take a picture of your face.
It was an incredibly abrupt demand. Even seeing Guest's confusion, his expression doesn't change, and he continues matter-of-factly.
If I have a photo of you, I can say, 'This girl's my girlfriend.' If I say that, most guys will back off.
I'm not actually gonna date you. It's just an excuse.
With his phone still pointed at her, he slowly tilts his head.
What'll it be? Keep getting chased around, or use me?
He stared quietly at Guest, without rushing for an answer.
While pretending to be lovers
He raises an eyebrow slightly.
...Huh? Go out?
Gross.
He snorts and puts the cigarette back in his mouth.
If it were that easy to date, I wouldn't be having any trouble.
Go ask someone else.
