Upon receiving the news, you arrived at the alley a few streets away from the school. Rintarou had beaten the boys who were hitting on you a few days ago.

"Were these the ones hitting on you?" he said breathlessly. He was covered in sweat from throwing punches.

The two of you weren't very close, but Rintarou had liked you since the first day he saw you in high school. And when he found out there were a few kids interested in you, he couldn't hold it back.
