Chapter 1: It’s Hopeless
“Kaa-san, I’m off to school!” The boy tells his Mom as he gets to the door.
“Don’t forget your bento, Itsuki.” The boy's mom said as she handed him a box that seemed to be the boy's bento.
“Thanks, Kaa-san. I’m off now.” The boy said as he went out of his home to go to school.
Sano Itsuki, an average yet awkward individual. An average student you could see anywhere.
Waking up, eating breakfast, getting ready for school is his daily routine. A very normal thing you can define a boy of his age, except for one thing…
“Hey Sano-kun! Good Morning.” Inoue Aimi, the school idol in other words the school's popular girl. One would be happy if the school's most popular girl talks to them, but not in Sano's case. He finds it troublesome getting such unwanted attention. For one thing he was satisfied with his normal daily life, but it’s a problem as he is getting the attention he had been always avoiding.
“Uhh...morning, Inoue...san” Sano replied muttering. Inoue was one of the types of people he is not used to. He gets awkward when it comes to people like her.
Hearing the reply of Sano, Inoue gave him a very bright smile. Getting nervous Sano left Inoue onto herself and went to his class not noticing the dead stare of Inoue to him.
Such daily occurrence was the normal for him...but not until only later that his “daily life” would change.
◆◇◆
The day went on and his class had finished. As he was preparing to go home he was called out by Inoue.
“Sano-kun, would you mind if...if you can come with me in a minute. Uhm...I have something to tell you.” Inoue said fidgeting making the classroom in a pandemonium. As to be expected as the school’s most popular girl herself had asked for a guy to come with her.
“What does she want?” Sano thought as he was suspiciously gazing at Inoue. Not knowing Inoue’s motive he had no choice but to just agree with her request to him. Seeing that Sano agreed to come with her, she got delighted and waited no time as she told him to follow her.
Inoue had led Sano to an isolated room on the old building of the school. A room that was famous for a confession place, a well known thing by every student in the school.
Getting in Sano noticed that Inoue was acting suspiciously, he couldn’t help but try to ask her what’s wrong but before he could speak Inoue had called out to him.
“U-Uhm...Sano-kun…” Inoue nervously spoke. Finally at that moment, Inoue had gotten her confidence and spoke out her feelings.
“S-Sano-kun! I like you! Please go out with me!” Upon hearing the feelings of Inoue, Sano could only stand there trying to digest what just happened. The school Idol just confessed to him, that much he understood but he doesn’t understand why she has an interest in him. He couldn’t help thinking about why Inoue Aimi is confessing to someone like him.
Should he be happy? Joyed? Shocked? One thing for sure is that this is really troublesome for him. He doesn’t like unwanted attention, he thinked and tries to reason in his mind. ““What do I do? How do I answer her?” such worries were flowing through his mind.
“I...I’m sorry! I-I can’t go out with you!” He answered truthfully. Going out was really troublesome for him, so his only choice was to try and reject Inoue. “W-Why...?” Inoue asked sadly to which Sano answered “I-I don’t want to have a relationship...p-please understand that it will be really troublesome if you go out with someone like me, Inoue-san.”
“...Why…? It’s not...a problem...I...I would really love to get to know Sano-kun more…”
Sano couldn’t take it and try to say one more time, “I’m really sorry!” and going to the rooms door to leave but only to find that “E-Eh...the...the door’s locked…?”
“...I locked it…” Inoue’s tone changed, Sano hearing that looked at Inoue only to see that she had a look on her eyes that was dead staring at him.
“...Why?...Why do you...keep...pushing me...away?”
“Do you...hate...me?”
“Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?”
“...Itsuki-kun....why…?”
Feeling the intensity of change from Inoue, Sano fell on his knees and couldn’t help but freeze slowly feeling afraid from Inoue’s behavior.
“...I can’t...take it...anymore...Itsuki-kun, you keep pushing...me away. You...leave me no...choice…”
Staggering, Inoue came closer to Sano grabbing both his shoulders. “You...keep avoiding me…Itsuki-kun...that’s why you leave me...no choice…” Hearing that, Sano couldn’t help but feel chills up his back.
“You’re such a bad boyfriend ♡, you keep on pushing away your own lover ♡.” Inoue spoke terrifyingly to Sano’s ears.
“L-Lover…! You're kidding me! Inoue-san...this is just a prank right…? Please tell me this is a prank…” Sano is now desperate, fearing Inoue’s unexpected actions. “Oh...no, Itsuki-kun♡. This isn't a joke♡, cause from now on...you’re mine♡!”
“You’re mine♡! You’re mine♡! You’re mine♡! You’re mine♡! Mine♡! Mine♡! Mine♡! Mine♡! Mine♡! Mine♡! Mine♡! Mine♡! Mine♡! Mine♡! Mine♡! Mine♡! Mine♡! Mine♡! Mine♡! Mine♡! Mine♡! Mine♡! Mine♡! Mine♡! Mine♡! Mine♡! Mine♡!”
“No one else can have you...anyone that tries to get in my and Itsuki-kun’s relationship...are INSECTS!? I must get rid of anyone who tries to get in our way!”
“It’s hopeless, she’s...she’s crazy!!” Sano has lost hope, as he can no longer escape from the girl’s grasp. Inoue was hugging Sano tightly so as to not let him escape. “Where the hell does she get all this strength from!?” Sano is desperately trying to get out of Inoue’s grasp but to no avail.
“...That’s no good, Itsuki-kun...You’re trying to...run away and...push me away again. I’m not...going to let you go...not anymore, because from now on...you’re mine♡ and...mine alone♡!”
It was completely hopeless, Sano can’t escape from the girl called Inoue Aimi.
