Chapter 21

Y/n POV:

"How was your first day of work? Perfect, I assume?" Haruto asks as we both begin to close down the store. For the past few hours, I had been stacking things, dusting off some display drums, and sorted through some random products. I also terribly danced around the store, making me realize my 'dream' of becoming a K-pop idol was as good as gone.

"It was fine. My boss is a bit strange, but I could get used to it," I tease him with a wide smile on my face. As usual, he freezes and I begin to laugh at his behaviour. "I'm kidding dude, chill," I say as I ruffle his hair. Even though I'm shorter than him, I can still reach his messy black hair as I lightly run my hands through it.

'His hair is so soft. What kind of conditioner does he use? He better not use a 3-in-1 shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, cause I can't be friends with him if he does,' I think as I continue to feel his hair, not noticing the blush on Haruto's tan skin.

"Two can play at that game," Haruto says as he begins to lightly ruffle my h/l hair. Unknown to him, my face begins to heat up as his fingers run through my hair.

'His hands feel ni- Wait! Don't finish that thought!' I think as I remove my hand from his head, him repeating the same action soon after. 'Yeah, don't go thinking that I liked that or anyth-'

"Like my hands going through your hair or something?" Haruto teases as he puts on his devilish smirk, immediately making my whole body tense as my blush grows deeper. "I'm only kidding, chill," he says soon after as he chuckles.

"Haha, a comedic genius in the making," I sarcastically say as I begin to play with the cuffs of my new hoodie, already becoming attached to the gift.

"You said it first. Don't cry when it bites you in the butt," Haruto says before his eyes slowly trail down my figure, beginning to look for the said body part.

"Touché...Oi, my eyes are up here," I say as I notice his eyes are no longer looking at my face. A smug idea comes to my mind as I begin to devilishly smirk, unknowingly replicating Haruto's. "Caught feelings or something?" I 'seductively' say before I break out in laughter, not noticing Haruto slightly freeze before turning away, hiding his face from my view.

'Who'd fall in love with my dumbass?' I ask myself as I begin to calm down my laughter, finally noticing Haruto facing away from me.

"You good?" I ask with genuine concern, hoping I didn't say anything to upset him.

"E-eh? O-oh, yeah!" Haruto responds as he turns back to face me, his hand rubbing the back on the neck. He puts on a smile, I can tell it is clearly strained. Shrugging it off, I leave the topic alone, even though I didn't know what I did wrong.

A ding coming from my pocket shakes both of us out of our trances as I pull my phone out. Seeing that it was Mafuyu messaging me, I lightly smile as I open the message.

Mafuyu-chan

I'll be done in a few minutes

It's called Performing Concert

It's close to the train station

I slightly chuckle at the message as Haruto suddenly speaks up.

"Who you messaging?" he curiously questions making me turn my head to him. He has a neutral look on his face, but if you look close enough, you could see a slight scowl tug at his lips.
