(Nene’s pov!)

We’re just friends. Is the thought that Hanako had beat into his mind. His and his assistant, Nene’s, relationship was just friendly. Right? So what was this stingy feeling inside him whenever she gets a bit too chummy with other guys? Why did he always feel like he has to be near her or she’s slowly slip away from him.

The more notice he gave these feelings, the more embarrassed he’d get. Any words that he tried stringing together that could even attempt to describe how he felt, to him, it all just sounded possessive. Which he hated. But despite all of his teasing, he’d love to wrap his arms around Nene’s waist. Lean into the crook of her neck. Know just what she thought of him. If she felt the same way he did. Tell him she loved him, wanted to be her boyfriend. Her everythin—

Hanako snapped out of his trance at the sound of a sweet voice calling his name. He looked up from the floor of the abandoned bathrooms. To see Nene. Trying to talk to him. Hanako chuckled slightly before raising an eyebrow.

“Hm? What.. were you saying..? I-i just got soooo boredd~ Ya know?”
