BHSAF 153: Promise

　Friday.

　Today was a rare day for Yui, who was away from school all day at work, so it was a boring day for Yu.

　Not only does a female student who isn't particularly close to Takuya start talking to him, but he also rushes off somewhere during lunch break. Could he be visiting a friend, secretly practicing soccer, or... to Mina, the beautiful manager?

　If he was going to see Mina, it might be interesting to follow him, but the evidence of his infidelity from the school festival was enough.

(I'm tired today...)

　It's fine that a female student is talking to him. The problem is that, unless Yuu is mistaken, she seems to be interested in him. Not as a friend, but as a member of the opposite sex.

　Although he has no interest in the opposite sex other than Yui, he is not cold-hearted enough to treat someone who speaks to him out of kindness rather than malice. However, he does not have the communication skills to be able to politely turn them down.

　Usually, Yui would casually come to his rescue, but today his lifeline is not there.

　For these reasons, Yu was exhausted and spent the day at school without doing anything in particular, before returning home feeling lonely because he couldn't see Yui.

"Haa..."

　When Yu arrived at his room, he thought he would watch a drama starring Yui to relieve his fatigue.

　I heard the doorbell ring.

"?"

　If it were his father, he would have opened the door and come in without permission, and he would have contacted them in advance and given in.

"This happened the other day too."

　It was the day Yui came to stay. I opened the door thinking it was a delivery or something, but it was Yui who was there.

"It's Yui-chan again today... but of course not."

　With that thought in mind, I left my room, walked down the hallway, and headed to the front door.

　Feeling reluctant, he slowly opened the door and there stood an angel. A lustful angel just for Yu.

"Eh, Yui-chan... hm..."

"I'm here...♡ I was wondering what Yu-kun was doing the whole time during the shoot..."

"Aren't you busy? Are you okay?"

　It's not a good idea to talk at the front door, so I let Yui inside the house and closed the door.

"Yeah, tomorrow is a holiday...or rather, I just can't get tomorrow out of my head."

　Tomorrow, which means Saturday.

　That is the day Yuu goes on a date with Airi.

"Hey, Yu-kun. Have you decided where you're going tomorrow?"

"It's all up to Airi to decide, and I haven't heard anything about it yet. We've agreed to meet in front of the station, but..."

　When I asked where they were going from there, I was only told it was a secret.

"In front of the station...that means it's a train, right?"

"Maybe."

　There are bus stops and taxi stands in front of the station, but I didn't think it would be a good idea to specify a meeting place in front of the station and use a bus or taxi, since bus stops and other similar places are located much closer than the station.

"...But there's no need to stay overnight and go somewhere far away...right?"

"Haha, Yui-chan is so naughty."

"N-No way! I'm just a girl in love who's worried about cheating..."

　When you say a girl in love, most people will buy it, but when it's a beautiful girl like Yui, it's just adorable, especially when it's a man who actually has feelings for her.

　Yui's kindness in coming to see me even though she must have been tired from work, and the adorable words she spoke as she looked prettier than usual with her makeup on, probably because she was coming home from work.

　Feeling sorry for making her say that, he wanted her to calm down and was about to kiss her as proof that he only loved Yui.

　Yu's lips felt soft and different from Yui's lips.

"?"

　When he opened his closed lips , Yui's lips were pinned down by her single outstretched index finger.瞼eyelid

"I don't want to kiss Yu-kun, who's cheating on me with my own sister tomorrow..."

"Don't worry, the only one I like is Yui-chan. The only reason we're going out on a date is because Yui-chan said it was okay."

"That's true... but you know... when the person I like goes out with another girl I can't help but feel jealous... I should trust you, Yu-kun... but I can't help but worry what I'll do if you choose Airi... I'm sorry for being such a jealous woman."

　Although Yui seems apologetic, her expression shows that she feels helpless and overwhelmed by these emotions.

　Even though Yui has worked surrounded by adults, she is still just a teenage high school girl. With little romantic experience, it was not an issue that could be easily resolved.

"Don't worry about it. That's proof that you really like me, right? I'm happy that Yui is jealous of me."

"Hmm... thanks... but even if you look like you want something like that, I'm not going to let you have that today."

"Huh..."

　It's only natural that he would want to meet and touch the person he loves, someone he thought he wouldn't be able to see again. However, Yui tells him that today is not an option, and Yu feels disheartened.

"But, if you keep your promise to me, don't do anything to Airi, and come back still in love with me... I'll cosplay and do something sexy with you."

"Huh..."

"Hmm. You don't really like that sort of thing, do you, Yu-kun? Well, when we went to the maid cafe during the school festival, Takkun said he wanted me to wear a maid outfit... Oh, of course I politely refused, so don't worry. I didn't even wear a maid outfit... So I was wondering if boys like that sort of thing..."

"No, it's not that I don't want to... or rather, to be honest, I really want to."

"Come on, naughty... Well then, I'll dress you in your favorite outfit and keep you company until you're satisfied... Just come back to me."

"I'd come back without doing that... But if Yui-chan says so, then when I come back from going out with Airi-chan, I'll run straight to you."

"Mm, I'll be waiting for you... Yu-kun, forever."

　After that, the two of them joked around and talked for a bit, then they each extended just the little finger on their right hands, made a pinky promise, and then parted ways.
