"Kato-san, you should drink the cola."
Hoshino Jun pushed the cola, which Takasaki Yusuke had tainted, towards Kato Nana, looking very concerned about her.
Takasaki Yusuke's expression suddenly changed, and he pulled the cola back in front of Hoshino Jun.
Takasaki Yusuke knew all too well that he had added a little something from his nose into the cola he bought.
As her boyfriend, how could he possibly give such a dirty thing to his innocent and naive girlfriend to drink?
"Hoshino-kun, Nana never drinks cola. This cup is for you to drink. I'll just go buy Nana another one."
Hoshino Jun shook his head and pushed the cola back again.
"Kato-san has been looking at the cola since just now. I think Kato-san might really want to try the taste of cola."
"Right, Kato-san?"
No, I don't want to.
Kato Nana was about to shake her head, but the next moment, she felt Hoshino Jun's foot under the table tap her small leather shoe.
"There's always a first time for everything, you know. Maybe Kato-san will fall in love with cola later."
As he spoke, Hoshino Jun suddenly raised an eyebrow and smiled at Takasaki Yusuke: "Or are you saying, Takasaki-kun, that you want to control Kato-san's life?"
In an instant, Kato Nana understood.
Hoshino-kun wasn't concerned about whether she was thirsty; he just wanted to order her around in front of Yusuke.
What kind of twisted pleasure is this, Hoshino-kun?
You're a super big bad guy.
"Yusuke."
While secretly cursing Hoshino Jun, Kato Nana also looked up at Takasaki Yusuke.
She hoped her boyfriend could be a bit more assertive, preferably, as Hoshino-kun said, strong enough to directly tell her not to drink it.
Kato Nana thought that if Takasaki Yusuke could be firm, then she definitely wouldn't pay attention to Hoshino-kun anymore.
"I want to drink this cola."
After all, she was listening to another boy in front of her boyfriend, so Kato Nana seemed particularly reserved, her voice very soft.
'How about it, Yusuke, will you assertively refuse for me?'
Feeling his girlfriend's expectant gaze, Takasaki Yusuke's expression became strange, and a million alpacas seemed to stampede through his mind.
'Damn Hoshino Jun, what kind of idiotic nonsense are you spouting?'
'How could I possibly control Nana?'
'Stop trying to sow discord here.'
If Kato Nana wasn't right in front of him, Takasaki Yusuke probably wouldn't have been able to resist cussing him out.
Hoshino Jun was almost openly trying to create a rift between him and his girlfriend.
Hateful.
"Nana, this cola has ice cubes in it. Have you forgotten? You don't drink cold things."
Again, gentle and boring concern.
Kato Nana was a little disappointed; she hoped Takasaki Yusuke could be more assertive.
"But Nana wants to drink it now," Kato Nana said, pouting.
With Nana's adorable expression at that moment, Takasaki Yusuke wished he could rip out his heart and give it to her, let alone this one cup of cola.
But the problem was...
He had tainted this cup of cola.
"Nana, but..."
"But..."
After listening to Takasaki Yusuke's "but" for a long time without him coming up with a reason, Hoshino Jun wanted to laugh.
It must be said, Takasaki-kun, who was desperately trying to come up with reasons not to let his girlfriend drink the tainted cola, was truly a kind, good boy.
If this were in an anime or light novel, he would probably be the male protagonist with a harem.
Unfortunately, this was not an anime world, nor was it a boring light novel.
And you, Takasaki-kun, are not the so-called protagonist.
Your girlfriend, Kato Nana, doesn't like your useless gentleness; she seems to listen to me more.
"Oh, so Kato-san can't drink cold things. Then don't drink it."
Hoshino Jun directly reached out and snatched the cola back from Kato Nana's hand.
His assertive and domineering manner was the exact opposite of Takasaki Yusuke's, like a victorious general on an ancient battlefield, strategizing with confidence and arrogance.
Confidence, arrogance.
Light and shadow intertwined.
Kato Nana looked at Hoshino Jun's handsome profile, her mouth slightly agape, and the organ called "heart" seemed to turn into a small drum.
It kept beating "thump-thump-thump" incessantly.
Seeing Kato Nana frozen, Takasaki Yusuke thought she was frightened by Hoshino Jun and instantly felt terribly distressed.
If it weren't for Kato Nana being present and the need for the plan to proceed smoothly, he would really want to roll up his sleeves and fight Hoshino Jun right now.
'Damn Hoshino Jun, can't you be a little gentler? You've scared Nana.'
Takasaki Yusuke cursed Hoshino Jun in his heart while also feeling relieved that Hoshino Jun had taken back the tainted cola.
Joy dispelled his anger and crept onto his brows.
Watching Hoshino Jun drink the tainted cola would also be a way to get revenge for Nana.
Takasaki Yusuke was just feeling pleased, but the next second, Hoshino Jun handed the cola to him.
"Since Kato-san can't experience the taste of cola today, then Takasaki-kun, as her boyfriend, should do it on her behalf."
Huh?
Why is the plot still not right?
While Takasaki Yusuke was bewildered, Hoshino Jun quietly kicked Kato Nana again.
"Kato-san, you must also think your boyfriend is the best choice to experience the taste for you, right!"
Hoshino-kun kicked me again.
Kato Nana looked at the gentle and elegant, brightly smiling, but actually rotten-to-the-core Hoshino-kun beside her with a wronged expression, and couldn't help but want to go along with his words.
"Yusuke, please drink this cola for me!"
The girl clenched her small fists and looked at her boyfriend with sparkling eyes.
Such a cute Nana made Takasaki Yusuke's heart swoon.
But this cola, damn it, was undrinkable. What decent person would drink their own snot?
Damn Hoshino Jun, are you sick? Can't you just drink this cola yourself? If not, can't you just throw it away?
Do you have to find someone to drink it for you?
"Nana, my stomach also feels a little unwell today." Takasaki Yusuke pushed the cola back to Hoshino Jun, smiled, and said, "Let Hoshino-kun drink it instead."
He was still thinking about how to disgust Hoshino Jun.
Hoshino Jun unhurriedly kicked Kato Nana's small leather shoe again.
Kato Nana's delicate body trembled slightly. She pursed her lips, stood up, and personally handed the cola to Takasaki Yusuke.
"Yusuke, what do you mean by this? I want my boyfriend to help me experience the taste. What do you mean by giving it to Hoshino-kun?"
"Are you toying with me?"
I'm sorry, Yusuke.
Hoshino-kun is too domineering, I don't dare to disobey him. Could you please refuse yourself?
Please, refuse me!
Kato Nana gazed at Takasaki Yusuke, hoping he could be more assertive.
However, Takasaki Yusuke misunderstood, thinking his girlfriend was already getting angry. His head buzzed, and he was at a loss for a moment.
"Nana, I didn't mean to toy with you, I meant—"
Too weak.
Both times.
Kato Nana was truly disappointed with Takasaki Yusuke: "If you didn't, then drink it all. Otherwise, I'll never speak to you again."
Even though it was already early summer in April, Takasaki Yusuke felt his hands and feet turn cold.
How did it turn out like this?
"Okay, I'll drink it!"
Ultimately, Takasaki Yusuke still tremblingly raised the cola.
Compared to the tainted cola, his girlfriend's feelings were more important.
Anyway, it was his own snot; if he endured it, it would pass.
Thinking this, Takasaki Yusuke closed his eyes and gulped down the tainted cola, a large wave of nausea surging through his body.
But he held it in and maintained a smile, saying softly to Kato Nana:
"Nana, I've finished it. Nana must be happy now, right?"
"Mm, Yusuke is amazing!"
Kato Nana casually praised him, then indifferently shifted her gaze to the window, letting out a faint sigh.
"Simps are truly awesome!"
Watching Takasaki Yusuke drink the cola in one go, this time, Hoshino Jun truly gave Takasaki Yusuke a thumbs up.
"Ding-a-ling—"
The afternoon class bell rang, and Hoshino Jun lost the desire to continue teasing the couple. He yawned and left the cafeteria first.
"Takasaki-kun, Kato-san, I'm off to class now."
