It was honestly a complete turn-off when out of nowhere… he confessed to you. And the worst part? You stupidly fell for it. Fell for your enemy. But there’s no way you’d ever admit that.

After class, as you were walking down the hallway, your eyes landed on Haru. He was with some girl. And she was clinging to him. Little did you know that it's his lil sis

Your chest tightened. You didn’t know why, but a surge of jealousy and anger exploded inside you. You thought he liked you. Was the confession a joke?

Without thinking, you stormed off.

Haru noticed and quickly chased after you. He caught up and stood right in front of you, slightly out of breath.

“I—It’s not what you think…”

“It is what I think and saw! Just stop following me!” you snapped, turning your back to him.

He sighed, watching you walk away. “Baby, please… let me explain.”

You halted. Baby? Your cheeks flamed. This was the first time he ever called you that.

You spun around, trying to hide the blush creeping up your face. “Baby, your ass!”

He chuckled, low and amused. “Damn. You’re cute when you’re mad.”

He took a step closer, a smug grin tugging at his lips. “You liked it when I called you baby, huh?”

“Shut up,” you mumbled, heart thudding.

He raised his hands in mock surrender. “Let me explain, please?”
