"Bang—!"
The bedroom door was pulled open, and Asu Mei, with her long hair draped over her shoulders, wore a white T-shirt and loose, baggy pants, revealing only her neck and hands.
She even wore a pair of white cotton socks on her feet.
Having been in the bedroom for so long, she was probably looking for her bottom-of-the-chest long pants.
This was the most conservative she had ever dressed at home. In the past, when she was alone with Hoshino Jun, she had no regard for her image.
The reason for this was likely her fear that Takayanagi Yuki, who was visiting, might gossip.
"Yuki-nee, why haven't you started eating yet? Why are you waiting for me?"
Seeing Asu Mei come out, Hoshino Jun quickly moved Takayanagi Yuki's leg off his own, causing Takayanagi Yuki to let out a muffled groan.
"Mm-hm~!"
"What's wrong, Yuki-nee!"
Looking at the unnatural blush on Takayanagi Yuki's delicate face, Asu Mei thought of scenes from adult films and instinctively glanced at Hoshino Jun.
But Hoshino Jun remained composed, as if nothing had happened, which made her even more puzzled.
At this moment, Takayanagi Yuki explained, "It's nothing. I just might have caught a bit of a cold from the draft earlier."
"Oh, a cold is no small matter."
As Asu Mei walked over, she glared at Hoshino Jun: "Hoshino Jun, quickly go find some cold medicine for your Aunt Yuki."
You brat, I turn my back for a moment and you're already sitting with another woman.
And get over here, you little punk.
Meeting the jealous queen's death glare.
Hoshino Jun quickly withdrew his damp hand from under the dining table, subtly wiped it on his pants, and then ran to the medicine cabinet to search for cold medicine.
At the same time, he kept an eye on Takayanagi Yuki's every move, worried that Aunt Yuki, who was so tender she could be squeezed for a lot of water, might give them away.
Fortunately, although a faint glow of spring shimmered in Takayanagi Yuki's captivating eyes, her actions showed nothing amiss.
She sat perfectly upright and conversed with Asu Mei with ease.
Hmm.
Aunt Yuki is not only very moist.
She's also very reliable.
After preparing the medicine, Hoshino Jun used a tissue as a 墊 and placed it in front of Takayanagi Yuki.
"Aunt Yuki, it's not good to take medicine on an empty stomach. Please eat first before taking these medicines."
"Mm."
Takayanagi Yuki nodded, glancing at Hoshino Jun. Her hazy expression complemented her rosy cheeks, enough to melt one's bones.
'You little rascal!'
'You kept touching me endlessly.'
'You made Auntie's stockings wet.'
Sweat soaked into the chair, and Takayanagi Yuki didn't even dare to stand up, afraid of being discovered by Asu Mei.
She could only try to dry the chair with her body temperature.
Dinner didn't take long.
It was finished as soon as Takayanagi Yuki's blush faded.
The two women watched a movie in the living room, while Hoshino Jun went into the kitchen alone to wash the dishes.
During this time, he received a message from Kato Nana.
"What are you doing?"
Young girls aren't very proactive; their opening lines are usually "Are you there?" or "What are you doing?"
Hoshino Jun thought for a moment, then looked at his left hand and replied:
"Nothing!"
"Just cleaning abalone by hand."
Seeing Hoshino Jun's message, Kato Nana was a bit confused. Why would he be washing abalone so late at night?
Was he just preparing to eat now?!
Never mind, what Hoshino-kun eats isn't the main point.
Kato Nana looked at herself in the full-length mirror in her bedroom, meticulously dressed. Her hair was tied in a bun, and she wore a loose white shirt. What seemed pure on the outside was completely empty underneath.
When the fan blew, she felt cold all over.
"Hoshino-kun."
"Today, do you want to see my photos too?"
She asked the question, but the next second, Kato Nana sent a photo.
Hoshino Jun glanced at it and immediately replied: "It's pretty, but not very interesting."
No sooner had he replied than another photo arrived, this one with all the buttons of her shirt undone.
In the photo, Kato Nana winked playfully, looking captivating and alluring.
"Holy shit!"
Even Hoshino Jun, despite his extensive experience, couldn't help but exclaim a national expletive, his eyes wide.
At this moment, he seemed to understand a little what "contrast" meant.
With buttons fastened, she was a pure maiden.
With buttons undone...
To put it simply: "So slutty!"
To describe it poetically:
"Kato Nana's soul, mixed with light, like frost and strong liquor, brewed into a jar of tenderness. Hoshino Jun couldn't spell out romantic words, but his body swelled with youthful spirit."
The evening breeze blew through the cherry blossom trees, their branches rustling. A few streaks of moonlight shone through the tree shadows into the kitchen, casting dappled light on the screen door.
Because of chatting with Kato Nana, washing the dishes took a bit longer.
By the time Hoshino Jun returned from the kitchen to the living room, Takayanagi Yuki had already left, leaving only Asu Mei by herself, giggling incessantly at a variety show.
Hoshino Jun tapped the table and said, "Auntie, it's time for bed. You have to get up early for work tomorrow."
Asu Mei was sprawled on the sofa, her calves bent in mid-air, the pink of her soles faintly visible through her pure white cotton socks.
"No way," Asu Mei whined, twisting her round buttocks. "Let me watch a little longer. This show only has one episode a week."
Hoshino Jun blocked the TV, pretending to be fierce: "Watch the rerun tomorrow. Go to bed now!"
"What's the point of reruns? Good shows should be watched as they air! What if the rerun has cuts? Wouldn't I be missing out big time?!"
Asu Mei pouted, looking at Hoshino Jun with wide, pleading eyes, like a little girl playfully begging her father.
She was like this.
Hoshino Jun was always helpless against her. He moved aside to let her continue watching: "I give up with you. Go to bed right after you finish watching, got it?"
Asu Mei's eyes suddenly sparkled, and she said sweetly, "Auntie knew Jun-chan was the best! Mwah~!"
Having received a flying kiss from Auntie, Hoshino Jun said no more, humming a song as he returned to his bedroom first.
...
...
The next day.
The morning sun shone on Hoshino Jun's handsome face, forcibly waking him from his sweet dreams. Hoshino Jun frowned slightly and rolled out of bed.
He casually pulled out a large white T-shirt and slim-fit black pants from his wardrobe, brushed his teeth in the bathroom, and then walked straight out the door.
Handsome men never needed special grooming.
As long as their face was clean and their outfit wasn't too ugly.
Even if they were messy and disheveled, there would be a kind of chaotic beauty.
The temperature on an April morning was pleasant.
The sun was not scorching, and the breeze was just right.
"Aunt Yuki, I'm going downstairs first. I'll wait for you at the bus stop."
After sending a message to Takayanagi Yuki, Hoshino Jun went downstairs first.
At the same time.
Inside apartment 403 next door.
Jo had just walked out of his bedroom when he saw his mother, dressed in a light pink floral long dress, changing her shoes at the entrance.
"Oh, all dressed up so pretty, Mom, where are you off to?"
Hearing his son's voice, Takayanagi Yuki was about to speak, but then suddenly remembered Hoshino Jun's instructions and immediately changed her words:
"Mom's going out for a bit. Jo, you stay home and watch TV."
To make her son improve, she couldn't give him money, and she couldn't tell him when she would be home.
She wanted to see if he would cook for himself when she returned.
After speaking, without waiting for Jo to react, Takayanagi Yuki, wearing white high heels, opened the door and left the house.
"Bang—!"
The sound of the door closing echoed, and Jo suddenly remembered something.
He hadn't gotten money from his mom yet.
All his contact methods had been deleted by Yamada Kaoru, so to take Yamada Kaoru to catch Hoshino Jun, he had to go to Yamada Kaoru's house in person.
"Do I have to walk?"
Jo's face instantly turned bitter. Yamada Kaoru's mansion was not close to here!
Never mind!
If he had to walk, he would walk.
At least, if he could just make Kaoru give up on Hoshino Jun, what if he had to walk across the whole country!
"Hoshino Jun, you must think that Yusuke inviting you to dinner today means he wants to be good friends with you."
"Little do you know, what is this called... luring the wolf..."
"Mm, luring the wolf into the trap!"
