The schoolgirls gathered in a lively group, their voices carrying through the hallways. Amidst their chatter, a girl's excited voice rose above the rest as she shared her newfound discovery.

"Hey, have you all heard of this amazing book called 'His Drunken Confession'?" she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. "It's seriously addictive! You should definitely give it a read."

...Intrigued, the other girls leaned in, their curiosity piqued. "What's it about?" one of them asked....

With a mischievous smile, the girl began to describe the book. "Well, it's set at the start of a new high school semester. There's this shy boy who's brilliant in his studies, and he develops a secret crush on a senior student. But here's the twist—the senior is not only incredibly smart, but he also has a mischievous side and a total Sadist

The girls gasped, their imaginations already envisioning the romantic and tumultuous journey of the characters. They couldn't wait to dive into the pages of "His Drunken Confession" and experience the rollercoaster of emotions alongside the protagonists.

"The Story begins;

As the sun rose on the first day of the new semester, painting the sky with hues of hope and possibility, the campus buzzed with anticipation. The air was filled with the aroma of fresh beginnings and the sound of laughter and eager chatter. Students walked briskly, their backpacks filled with new textbooks and dreams, ready to embark on another educational adventure.

Amidst this vibrant scene, a comical twist emerged as Haru and Kerashi, their hair disheveled and their expressions filled with panic, sprinted across the campus grounds like two characters straight out of a slapstick comedy.

Haru: (panting) "Kerashi Sempai, why are we always running late? It's like we have a secret talent for tardiness!"

Kerashi: (gasping for breath) "I swear, Haru-kun time has a vendetta against us! We must have offended the Clock Gods in a previous life."

Their legs propelled them forward with exaggerated strides, their arms flailing in an attempt to maintain balance.

Haru: "You know, Kerashi Sempai, we should consider joining the school's track team. We'd win gold medals in the 100-meter sprint for sure!"

Kerashi: (laughing between breaths) "Oh, absolutely! Our legendary late arrivals will be the stuff of campus folklore."

As they raced towards the school entrance, their spectacle caught the attention of their fellow students. Wide grins appeared on the faces of some, while others giggled and pointed.

Haru: (looking around) "Hey, Kerashi Sempai, look at that! We're making quite the impression. We might even start a trend of fashionable lateness."

Kerashi: (rolling eyes) "Oh yes, Haru-kun tardiness is the new cool. All the fashion magazines will be featuring us in their 'Fashionably Late' spreads."

Finally reaching the entrance, they skidded to a halt, breathless and flushed, in front of their exasperated teacher.

Teacher: (raising an eyebrow) "Ah, Haru and Kerashi, the dynamic duo of punctuality strikes again. What's the rush this time?"

Haru: (grinning sheepishly) "You know, Teacher, we were just demonstrating our commitment to physical education by engaging in a spontaneous sprinting exercise."

Kerashi: (nodding in agreement) "Yes, and we were just about to break our own personal record for the 'Late for the Opening Ceremony' marathon. We were aiming for Olympic-level performance!"

The teacher couldn't help but chuckle at their absurd explanation.

Teacher: "Alright, alright. Consider this your warning, but please try to channel that energy into being on time in the future. Now, scurry along and join the ceremony before it's over."

Haru and Kerashi exchanged relieved glances before dashing towards the auditorium, their laughter mingling with the sound of their hurried footsteps.

And with renewed determination, they raced towards the auditorium;

As they hurried to the auditorium for the opening ceremony, Kerashi couldn't help but tease Haru about his slightly tousled bed hair. With a playful smirk, he nudged Haru's side and said, "Haru-kun, did you forget to comb your hair this morning? It looks adorable like that!"

A blush instantly crept onto Haru's cheeks as he fumbled for a response. "I-I'm sorry, Kerashi sempai," he stammered, feeling his heart race. "I overslept a little."

Kerashi chuckled, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "No need to apologize, Haru-kun," he reassured him. "I think it suits you. You always manage to look cute, no matter what."

Haru's face turned an even deeper shade of red, a mix of embarrassment and delight flooding his being. The warmth of Kerashi's compliment lingered, filling him with a sense of joy he couldn't quite explain.

Their banter continued as they made their way through the crowded hallways. Finally, they reached the auditorium, where students were already lining up according to their respective classes.

The opening ceremony began, with the principal's voice resonating through the air, welcoming the students to the new academic year. Haru couldn't help but steal glances at Kerashi, who stood tall and confident among their peers.

Whispers of anticipation swept through the auditorium as the principal's speech concluded. Haru and Kerashi stood side by side, their eyes meeting briefly, sending a jolt of nervousness and excitement coursing through Haru's veins.

The day progressed, filled with introductions, class assignments, and the hum of new beginnings. Haru found himself caught up in the whirlwind of emotions, his heart yearning for moments of connection with Kerashi.

...The next day, Haru and Kerashi met in the cafeteria by chance during lunchtime. Kerashi saw Haru walking towards the food counter and waved at him. "Hey, Haru-Kun! Over here!" Kerashi called out. Haru looked up and saw his friend sitting at a table, waving at him....

...Haru walked over to the table and sat down next to Kerashi. "Hey, Kerashi Sempai, what's up?" Haru asked. Kerashi grinned and said, "I was just thinking about joining a club. Are you interested in joining one too?"...

...Haru raised an eyebrow. "What kind of club?" he asked. Kerashi leaned in and said, "Well, I'm part of the art club, and we need some new members. You should join us!"...

...Haru looked skeptical. "I don't know, Kerashi. I'm not really that good at art," he said. Kerashi waved his hand dismissively. "Nonsense! Anyone can learn to draw. And besides, it's not about being good. It's about having fun!"...

...Haru thought about it for a moment. "I guess that's true," he said. "But what if I mess up?" Kerashi grinned. "Then we'll just call it modern art," he said, winking at Haru....

...Haru rolled his eyes. "Fine, I'll join your stupid art club," he said, grinning. Kerashi laughed. "Excellent! You won't regret it, Haru-Kun."...

...They finished their lunch and chatted for a while longer. Haru was grateful to have such a good friend like Kerashi. He felt like he could talk to him about anything....

...After lunch, they went to their respective classes. Haru had a hard time focusing on his lessons, however. He kept thinking about the art club and what it would be like to join. He was nervous, but also excited....

...Finally, the school day ended and Haru met up with Kerashi outside the classroom. "Ready to go?" Kerashi asked. Haru nodded. Together, they walked to the art room, where the club was meeting....

...Haru and Kerashi stepped into the art club room, their eyes widening as they took in the sight before them. The walls were adorned with colorful paintings, sculptures, and even a few "interesting" art installations....

...Kerashi nudged Haru with excitement. "Look at all this artistic wonder, Haru-kun! Prepare yourself for an unforgettable journey into the world of art."...

...Haru chuckled nervously, glancing at a particularly abstract piece that seemed to defy all logic. "Unforgettable indeed, Kerashi-senpai. I can already feel my artistic sensibilities trembling."...

...Just then, the art club president, a quirky and eccentric individual named Ayumi, approached them with a paint-splattered apron and a wide smile. "Welcome, fellow art enthusiasts! I see we have new recruits. Prepare to embark on a creative adventure like no other!"...

...Haru exchanged a glance with Kerashi, both trying to contain their laughter at the president's dramatic entrance. "We're thrilled to be here, Ayumi san. Ready to unleash our artistic potential!"...

...Ayumi clapped their hands together. "Excellent! We have a tradition here for all newcomers. You must complete the initiation challenge."...

...Haru's eyebrows shot up. "Initiation challenge? What does it involve?"...

...Kerashi leaned closer to Haru, whispering with a mischievous grin, "Rumor has it they make you paint a portrait using your non-dominant hand while blindfolded!"...

...Haru's eyes widened, a mix of excitement and nervousness taking over. "Are they trying to bring out my inner Picasso or just cause a colorful disaster?"...

...Ayumi chuckled, sensing the anticipation in the air. "Fear not! The initiation challenge is meant to ignite your creativity and help you break free from self-imposed limitations. And don't worry, we'll have plenty of laughter along the way!"...

...As Haru and Kerashi prepared themselves for the challenge, Ayumi handed them blindfolds and paintbrushes. The room was filled with eager whispers and laughter from the other club members, watching in anticipation....

...Blindfolded and armed with paintbrushes, Haru and Kerashi tentatively dipped their brushes into the paint palettes, their non-dominant hands ready to create artistic magic....

...Haru felt the canvas beneath his fingertips, trying to visualize his subject. Meanwhile, Kerashi's brush seemed to have a mind of its own, dancing across the canvas in a wild and unexpected manner....

...Amidst the laughter and cheers, their blindfolded art session continued. Paint splattered, lines meandered, and blobs of color merged into a chaotic masterpiece....

...As the blindfolds were finally removed, Haru and Kerashi were greeted with a burst of applause and laughter. Their paintings were a whimsical mess of colors, with abstract shapes and unexpected strokes....

...Ayumi approached them, unable to contain their amusement. "Haru-kun, Kerashi-kun your artwork is a testament to the beauty of unpredictability and embracing the joy of creation. Well done!"...

...Haru and Kerashi exchanged glances, bursting into laughter at the sight of their colorful creations. They couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment, despite the unconventional nature of their artwork....

...After this The other members were excited to have a new member and immediately started showing Haru around the room. They explained what they were working on and offered to help Haru with his own project. Haru felt a bit overwhelmed by all the attention, but he was also touched by how friendly everyone was....

...One of the members, a girl with pink hair Yuna came over to Haru and introduced herself. "Hi, I'm Yuna. What kind of art do you like to do?" she asked. Haru shrugged. "I don't really have any experience with art," he said. Yumi smiled. "That's okay! We'll teach you everything you need to know," she said....

...Another member, a boy with glasses, came over and showed Haru some of his sketches. "I've been working on this one for a while," he said. "What do you think?" Haru looked at the sketch and was impressed. "Wow, that's really good," he said....

...Suddenly, a loud crash was heard from the corner of the room. Everyone turned to see what had happened, and they saw that one of the members had accidentally knocked over a paint can. Paint was now splattered all over the floor....

..."Oops," the member said sheepishly. "I guess I got a little carried away." Everyone laughed, and another member went to grab some paper towels to clean up the mess....

...After becoming a member of art club Haru said goodbye to everyone and left the room. Haru felt a sense of excitement and anticipation. He couldn't wait to see what he would create in the art club. He was grateful to Kerashi for suggesting it and to all the other members for making him feel welcome....

...During lunchtime the next day, Kerashi leaned towards Haru with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Hey, Haru-kun, have you heard about the new café that recently opened? Everyone's been raving about their delicious food. Wanna check it out with me on Sunday?"...

...Haru paused for a moment, his face lighting up with curiosity. "Sure, I've been hearing about it too. It sounds interesting. Let's go!"...

...Kerashi grinned, pleased with Haru's response. "Great! I heard they serve the most amazing desserts. I can't wait to try them."...

...Haru chuckled. "You and your sweet tooth, Kerashi senpai But I have to admit, I'm intrigued. I've heard they have some unique flavors I've never tasted before."...

...Kerashi's excitement grew as he continued, "Exactly! That's what makes it so exciting. We can have a little adventure in our own town, exploring new flavors and experiencing something different. Plus, I heard they have a cozy ambiance and some live music in the evenings."...

...Haru nodded, his interest piqued. "A cozy ambiance and live music? That sounds like the perfect place to relax and unwind. I've been feeling a bit stressed lately, so this could be a nice break."...

...Kerashi grinned mischievously. "Well, consider it a date, then! Sunday, we'll head over there and indulge in some delicious treats. We deserve it!"...

...Haru blushed slightly but quickly regained his composure. "Sounds like a plan. I'm looking forward to it. It's been a while since we've had some time to hang out together."...

...Kerashi nodded, his expression turning sincere. "You're right. We've both been so caught up in our own things lately. It'll be nice to spend some quality time together."...

...As they finished their lunch, Haru leaned closer to Kerashi, his voice barely above a whisper. "Then let's meet on Sunday Sempai". and said goodbye to kerashi...

...Finally long awaited Sunday came, Haru and Kerashi met outside the cafe, both dressed in a way that hinted at their mischievous intentions....

...Haru: *raising an eyebrow* "Well, well, look at you. Quite the charmer today, aren't you sempai?"...

...Kerashi: *smirking* "And you're no innocent bystander yourself. You're positively irresistible."...

...Haru: *leaning in closer* "Oh, I know. But I must admit, you're giving me a run for my money. Are you trying to steal the spotlight?"...

...Kerashi: *playfully batting their eyelashes* "Maybe I am. But don't worry, there's enough attention to go around."...

...Haru: *grinning* "Is that so? Well then, let's see who can turn more heads once we step inside. It's going to be quite the competition."...

...Walking down the street Haru ask;...

...Haru: "So, where's the cafe we were supposed to go to? I was looking forward to trying their specialty pastries."...

...Kerashi: *nervously* "Well, about that... I might have made a little detour before our coffee date."...

...Haru: *raising an eyebrow* "A detour? What do you mean?"...

...Kerashi: *grinning mischievously* "I may have, um, bought tickets to a movie instead."...

...Haru: *surprised* "Wait, you bought movie tickets? Without telling me?"...

...Kerashi: *sheepishly* "I know, I know. I couldn't resist the temptation. It's this amazing new film that everyone's talking about, and I thought it would be a fun surprise."...

...Haru: *pausing, then smiling* "Well, you certainly surprised me. But you know what? I'm actually intrigued. Let's see those tickets."...

...Kerashi: *relieved* "Phew, I'm glad you're open to the idea. Here they are!"...

...Kerashi proudly presented the movie tickets, and Haru couldn't help but be intrigued by the choice. After a moment's hesitation, Haru's curiosity got the better of them, and a smile crossed their face....

...Haru: "Alright, let's change our plans a bit. I'm up for an unexpected movie adventure with you."...

...Kerashi: *grinning* "Great! I promise it'll be worth it. After the movie, we can still head to the cafe for those delectable pastries."...

...Haru: *playfully* "Deal. But you owe me one for the surprise twist."...

...Kerashi: *laughing* "Consider it done. Let's go enjoy the movie then ....

...After Watching the movie, they both made their way to the cafe they had originally planned to visit. The bustling establishment was crowded with patrons, making finding a table seem like a challenge. However, luck was on their side as they managed to secure a cozy spot....

...Haru: *excitedly* "Phew, it's quite busy here. But look, we found a table! I love the ambiance of this place."...

...Kerashi: *smiling* "Me too. It's worth the wait. Let's settle down and take a moment to discuss that amazing movie we just watched."...

...As they settled into their seats, they eagerly shared their thoughts about the film, recounting the captivating storylines and memorable performances. Their laughter and animated gestures drew the attention of nearby patrons, adding to the vibrant atmosphere of the cafe....

...Haru: *grinning* "The plot twists were incredible! And that romantic scene near the end? It gave me butterflies."...

...Kerashi: *nodding* "I couldn't agree more. It was a rollercoaster of emotions. I'm glad we decided to watch it together."...

...As they engaged in their lively conversation, their orders arrived, beautifully presented on the table. The aroma of the freshly prepared food tantalized their senses, and they couldn't wait to indulge....

...Haru: *taking a bite* "Mmm, this dish is amazing! The flavors just burst in my mouth."...

...Kerashi: *savoring a bite* "Absolutely delicious! I can't believe how perfectly they've crafted these flavors."...

...Simultaneously, they exclaimed, "It's delicious!" and burst into laughter, their shared enthusiasm and connection evident....

...Kerashi hesitated for a moment, then gathered their courage to speak up....

...Kerashi: *nervously* "Um, there's something I wanted to talk to you about... You see, there's an upcoming art competition, and I've been contemplating participating. But I want you to be my model."...

...Haru: *intrigued* "Really? That sounds interesting. But why me?"...

...Kerashi: *affectionately* "Because today, seeing you here, looking so incredibly handsome yet beautiful at the same time, I realized that capturing your unique essence on canvas would be a true masterpiece. You inspire me, and I believe I can bring out an even more captivating version of you."...

...Haru's eyes widened, touched by the sincerity and artistic vision behind Kerashi's words....

...Haru: *softly* "That's... such a beautiful sentiment. I would be honored to be your model....

...Haru: *curious* "By the way, are the other club members also participating in the competition?"...

...Kerashi: *thoughtfully* "Not all of them. Some have other commitments or interests. But for me, this is the only year I'll be able to fully immerse myself in club activities. Once we enter senior year, the focus shifts to intense studying for college entrance exams."...

...Haru: *surprised* "Oh, I see. So, you want to make the most of this time before the exams take over?"...

...Kerashi: *with a passionate smile* "Exactly. Painting has always been a beloved hobby of mine, and I want to explore it further before I have to dedicate most of my time to studying. It brings me so much joy, and I want to seize this opportunity."...

...Haru was taken aback by Kerashi's dedication and commitment to pursuing his artistic passion. After a brief pause, Haru's eyes softened with understanding....

...Haru: *gently* "I admire your enthusiasm and determination. If this is something that truly makes you happy, then I support you. But on one condition."...

...Kerashi: *intrigued* "What's the condition?"...

...Haru: *smiling* "You know even tho I am into the art club but I don't even know how to draw so you have to promise me to teach me how I can improve my skills,is that okay with you ?...

...Kerashi laughed and said " I would be honored to teach you my princess (in a mischievous way)....

...Then they both laughed it on....

...As the day was drawing to a close, they finished their meal and decided it was time to head home....

...Kerashi: *suggestively* "I can drop you off at your house as a token of my gratitude."...

...Haru: *smiling* "That would be nice. Thank you."...

...When they reached Haru's house, they prepared to say their goodbyes....

...Haru: *turning to leave* "Well then, I'll see you at the art club after school."...

...Kerashi: *calling out with a warm smile* "I'll be waiting for you there then. Have a good night, and dream of me Haru!"...

...Haru waved back, and said you too!...
