I LOVE YOU, NOT HIM

、TWELVE '

"Are you excited to meet them on the rooftop later, Nene-chan?" Her friend asked and she nodded

"Why do we have to meet on the rooftop though? Are we gonna talk about something important?" She asked

"You have no idea how important it is. They're gonna confess their feelings to you later-" Aoi slapped her mouth and eyed her friend

"What did you just say, Aoi-chan?" Nene asked surprised

"N-nothing"

"Feelings? You mean they like me!? The three of them!?" She whispered-yelled to avoid gaining unwanted attention from the students in the cafeteria

"You just spoiled the fun, Aoi-chan" Akane said in disbelief

"I'm sorry. I just couldn't contain my excitement"

"Anyway, cat's out of the bag. Yes, they like you" Aoi confirmed

"What!? Why!?"

"What do you mean why?"

"Amane-kun is supposed to like Kou-kun and vice versa"

"Focus, Nene-chan. They don't like each other. They like you" she flushed a bit upon hearing that

"But what about Lemon? We're just friends"

"Oh my God! I can't believe you're so oblivious. Haven't you notice his intentions when he suggested calling you Darin?" Akane asked in a sassy tone

"No" she shook his head

"Of course you wouldn't because you're a dense radish" Akane deadpanned

"Hey! That's mean!"

"I'm sorry Nene-chan but I have to agree with Akane this time"

"So what should we do?" She asked them for help

"What should you do?" Aoi rephrased the question

"I don't like them more than friends. I should just reject them" she shook her head up and down in her plan with her hand on her chin

"No!" The couple yelled

"Why? Didn't you told me that I should do what I want to do?"

"Well, yeah. But don't you want to give them a chance?" Akane asked

"No"

"Come on, Nene-chan. You might find your heart skipping a beat out of the three"

"I don't want to get arrhythmia"

"....."

"Seriously, I don't get paid enough for this" Akane sighed

"Just give in to peer pressure and give them a chance, okay?" Aoi asked and she nodded in defeat

"Guys!" She called the trio to gain their attention

"What is it, Senpai?" They were about to head to the rooftop but it seems fate decided to mingle

"I heard from Aoi-chan that the three of you liked me-" she averted her gaze with cheeks flushed slightly

It was a cute sight for the trio forgetting the disappointment when Aoi spoiled her in mistake

"But I don't feel the same way" she confessed and if you listen carefully, you can hear hearts shattered to pieces

"Although I can't reciprocate your feelings, I'm willing to give you three a chance because Aoi-chan and Akane-san forced me" she sighed deeply and eyed the trio

"Really!?" The trio asked in unison and she nodded. They embraced her squishing her in the middle

"I'll do my best to make you fall in love with me, Darin~"

"Shut up for a sec, Yamabuki" Amane hissed

"Yesterday, we planned a schedule so that we can all take turns to spend time with you" Amane informed her

"And of course, I'm the first one to spend time with you" Lemon slung her arm over her shoulder

"Amane's the last one. Talk about unlucky" Lemon laughed

"Watch your mouth, Lemon" Amane warned sweetly

"Okay" he grabbed his phone and opened his camera app

"I'm done watching my mouth. What's next?" He teased and the other was fuming with anger. Amane chased Lemon while Kou and Nene was busy laughing

"You have a pretty smile, senpai" Kou said and Yashiro was caught off guard. It made the tip of her ears colour red

"How could you say that without getting embarrassed?" She asked still blushing

"I normally get embarrassed saying these things but it's entirely different when it's you" her blushing intensified

"That's foul play! Stop starting without us!" Amane pointed an accusing finger while hugging Yashiro from behind

"Since when did you get so bold, Kou?" Lemon asked

"When I started liking senpai" he replied honestly

"Omg stop it, Kou-kun" she covered her face from embarrassment

Kou - 2
Amane - 4
Lemon - 1

Amane went to the hospital and sat beside his little twin brother. He woke up three days ago and his parents finally told him the reason why his brother was in a coma. Tsukasa saved him from an accelerating truck and he got hit instead. Amane lost that part of his memory and his parents never told him so that he won't blame himself. They had an emotional reunion and was glad to have Tsukasa back

"Ne, Amane. How did it go with, Nene-san?" He asked as he ate an apple

"We got rejected but she gave us a chance"

"How depressing" his brother mocked

"My pride will get hurt because of this but how do you make a girl fall in love with you?" He asked his brother. Tsukasa burst out laughing while Amane turned red

"Since when did you became this amusing, Amane?" He asked as he continued laughing

"Just tell me already" he demanded and his brother wheezed more

"Teru-niisan, how do capture a girl's heart?" He stopped eating and his older brother stared at him

"You finally grew up, Kou" Teru wiped his fake tear

"You tear their skin open-" Teru replied

"Nii-san!"

"Just kidding"

"Who are you trying to impress, Nii-chan?" Tiara asked

"Yashiro-senpai" he replied but froze in realization

"Don't worry. I knew from the start that Nene-niisan wasn't your girlfriend" she deadpanned them

"How about you use your cooking skills to amaze her" Teru suggested

"You're right!"

"Just be yourself, Kou. You're charming in your own way. Mom said that, remember?" Tiara smiled encouragingly at him

"Thanks, you two"
