The boys were the three who had been involved with Saya the other day, and Rin had come between them.

All three saw Rin, who could be said to be a familiar face, and spoke to Saya.

“Nakazato-san, why are you with that boy?”

“That boy is the one who interrupted us the other day, isn’t he?”

Saya looked at the three people who suddenly came in front of Rin and started asking questions out of the blue.

“You too. Why are you in our way and why are you with Nakazato-san?”

Rin did not understand what these three boys were talking about.

It was true that Rin intervened because these three were bothering Saya.

But that was because Saya was in trouble when she said no.

Rin really didn’t understand how that was connected to what was going on with him.

“Rin and I got to know each other then and became good friends. Why do you have to ask me that?”

From her reply, it seemed that Saya felt the same way as Rin.

The surrounding classmates were quietly watching what was going on, and it was strangely quiet, even though it was lunchtime.

“Because you’re a celebrity, right, Nakazato-san? You are everyone’s Saya Nakazato?”

“You can’t be with one particular boy.”

“I’m not really an idol, you know?. As far as I’m concerned, it’s okay for idols to have boyfriends.”

“B-Boyfriend? Is he your boyfriend?”

Not only the three boys, but also the word “boyfriend” drew the attention of the class to Rin and her.

Rin pondered whether he should answer like a man here, but no immediate answer was forthcoming as to what he should do.

Technically, Rin was not her boyfriend. But was he not at all? Well that was also different.

At least, that was how Rin felt.

But Saya was a model and belonged to an entertainment agency.

Rin didn’t know if it was appropriate to mention this here.

“Maybe we’re not there yet. But I’m attacking Rin right now.”

Saya answered, deliberately taking Rin’s arm and leaning in close.

The girls in the class saw this and started to freak out.

The boys didn’t make a fuss, but the boy who had just brought his lunch looked down.

“O-Oi, you, get away”

Rather than talking to Saya, they decided to talk to Rin, and the three boys turned their attention to Rin and began to berate him.

“Since you got in the way of Nakazato-san and us, you shouldn’t stay with us here.”

“I really didn’t care what you said earlier. But not now! Hey? What did you just say? What would you do if Rin went somewhere because of you guys?”

Saya had been speaking normally earlier, but her words now contained anger, hearing this, the disgust of the girls in the class focused on the three boys.

“No matter how cute Saya-senpai is, that was terrible of them.”

“It’s just jealousy, right? You’re just jealous, aren’t you?”

“Poor Nakazato Senpai. …”

The atmosphere was clearly turning against the three boys.

“Please let go of my hand.”

“What? Rin?”

Saya looked at Rin with an anxious look on her face.

This was the first time Rin voluntarily released his arm.

The classmates’ gazes were also on Rin.

Rin took the three boys and led them out into the hallway, despite their stares.

“I apologize for making you feel uncomfortable.”

Rin apologized to the three boys as he walked out into the hallway.

“But what you say is so terribly one-sided that I can’t listen to you or take you seriously.”

With these words, Rin returned to the classroom.

The remaining boys did not come back into the classroom again.

“Rin? Were you apologizing to those guys by any chance?”

Rin was apologizing in the hallway with his back bent, so she could imagine it even if she couldn’t hear his voice.

“Saya might not have liked it, but those people probably had feelings for you, or close to feelings for you. If someone linked their arms in front of me like they were showing off, I would feel bad. Besides, they were being made to feel like they were being humiliated in public. Well, it wasn’t that I didn’t like being attached to Saya…..”

“………… Rin!”

Saya, who had been listening to Rin, hugged him again.

“Never go away, okay?”

Saya hugged Rin with more force than before, and the girls’ excitement rose again when they saw it.
