Chapter 5: Rooftop Confessions

A/n : So this Chapter will be of 2 Part because I need time to think what should Happen in the next Chapter

________________________________________________________

The crisp morning air rushed past Y/n as he sprinted toward the school gates, his bag bouncing against his back with every hurried step. His legs burned from the sudden exercise, but he had no choice-he had already missed four days of school, and today wasn't the day to add another absence to the list.

"Man, if only I hadn't overslept..." Y/n muttered under his breath, frustration clear in his voice.

As he neared the school, he was too lost in thought to realize just how fast he had been running. Only when he slowed down did he notice a familiar figure standing still by the front gate. Futarou Uesugi, his classmate, stood with his arms crossed, eyes fixed on a sleek black limousine parked just outside.

Y/n raised an eyebrow. That's one expensive ride... he mused internally before approaching his friend.

"Oi, Futarou, what's up with you just standing there? Don't tell me you're admiring some random limo now?" Y/n teased.

Futarou turned slightly, acknowledging him with a nod. "Oh, hey, Y/n."

Before the conversation could continue, the limousine door swung open with an air of elegance, immediately drawing both their attention. Stepping out one by one, the familiar figures of the Nakano Quintuplets emerged, their presence commanding attention as always.

Itsuki, the first to speak, folded her arms and furrowed her brows. "Hey, what's your deal?"

Nino scoffed upon seeing Futarou and rolled her eyes. "Oh, it's you again."

Yotsuba, as energetic as ever, grinned. "Good morning, Uesugi-san!"

Ichika gave a sly smile. "Yo, Futarou."

Miku, on the other hand, simply muttered, "Mmm," barely making eye contact.

As the quintuplets greeted Futarou, Y/n couldn't help but notice something-every single one of them had completely ignored his presence. Geez, at least acknowledge I'm here... he thought bitterly.

But just as he was about to say something, Itsuki turned to him. "Oh, Y/n! Morning."

Yotsuba followed with a bright smile. "Good morning to you too, Y/n!"

Ichika smirked playfully. "So, you finally decided to come back to school, huh?~"

Miku hesitated for a moment before quietly adding, "Morning, Y/n."

The moment those words left Miku's lips, the rest of the sisters turned to her in surprise, their gazes locked onto her as if she had just done something out of the ordinary. Miku instantly stiffened, her cheeks growing a faint shade of red.

"W-What?" she stammered.

Nino squinted at her suspiciously. "Did you just... greet Y/n?"

Miku looked away, fiddling with a strand of her hair. "U-Umm... yeah?"

Itsuki narrowed her eyes. "You never even greet us properly, yet you greeted Y/n? Don't tell me... you like him?"

Miku's face turned an even darker shade of red. "I-It's not like that! Y/n is just a good friend, so I greeted him, that's all!" she defended herself hastily.

Itsuki hummed, still not entirely convinced, but she eventually let it slide. "Well, if that's the case, then whatever."

The conversation drifted as the sisters began walking toward the school building. However, just as Futarou was about to follow, they suddenly picked up their pace, breaking into a light run.
