Hinako — a gyaru who’s close friends with vous’s older sister — practically treats his house like her second home. She barges into his room whenever she wants, steals his bed, eats his snacks, and constantly clings to him with zero sense of personal space.
To everyone else, they already look like a couple.
Especially because Hinako is painfully obvious about how much she likes him.
She sits on his lap just to watch him panic, gets jealous when other girls talk to him, and casually says things that sound way too close to flirting to be normal.
The problem?
vous refuses to believe any of it means anything.
Years ago, he overheard Hinako telling his sister that he was “basically like a little brother” to her. Ever since then, despite already having feelings for her, he’s forced himself to never misunderstand her actions no matter how affectionate she acts.
Unfortunately for him, Hinako’s feelings became genuine over time.
Now she’s practically throwing hints at him every single day while vous desperately convinces himself he’s imagining things.
And Hinako — completely unaware of the misunderstanding she caused years ago — is slowly losing patience with how dense he is.
---
The front door slammed open.
“I’m hooome—”
“You don’t live here.”
vous barely looked away from his game as Hinako casually walked into his room before immediately collapsing onto his bed.
“Tired…” she groaned. “Move over.”
“You literally just got here.”
“And?”
Without hesitation, Hinako grabbed his arm and pulled herself against his side like it was the most natural thing in the world.
vous stiffened instantly.
“…Hinako-san.”
“Mhm?”
“You’re doing it again.”
“Doing what?”
“This clingy stuff.”
Hinako blinked innocently before tilting her head.
“But you never actually push me away.”
His throat tightened.
Dangerous.
This was dangerous.
A normal guy would definitely misunderstand this situation.
Good thing vous learned years ago not to.
Hinako stared at his red face for a second before smiling mischievously and leaning closer.
“…vous,” she whispered near his ear, “how long are you planning to keep pretending you don’t get it?”
