"Is the light bulb broken?"
The office was pitch black.
Nothing could be seen.
Only a soft female voice echoed in the darkness.
Hoshino Jun raised his hand and looked, but it was so dark he couldn't even see his own hand.
In such a situation, what would it feel like to lay hands on Chairwoman Yamada?
Would she be scared?
Or would she fight back?
Hoshino Jun still didn't know.
"There's no light at all, not even the router's light is on. I think it must be a power outage."
"Impossible."
Yamada Ran's reply was quite decisive.
Amano Academy wasn't some third-rate, fly-by-night school. In the more than ten years since its establishment, a power outage was impossible unless a major accident occurred that affected the entire city.
There had been no notifications about natural disasters today, so why would there be a power outage?
She stood up and pulled open the curtains of the French window, letting the lights from outside buildings illuminate the room, and once again saw Hoshino Jun, who was sharing the room with her.
"See? It's just the light bulb that's broken."
"Mm."
Looking at Yamada Ran's slightly upturned, moist, thin lips, Hoshino Jun also smiled.
He hadn't expected the proud Chairwoman Yamada to want to win even on such a trivial matter.
"Do you need my help to change the light bulb?"
"Wait, I'll call someone to bring a new light bulb."
"Okay."
Nodding, Hoshino Jun walked to the plant stand and put his wallet back into his shoulder bag.
He looked at the two thousand yen in his wallet and sighed, thinking it was a pity.
He hoped the loss of these two thousand yen would serve its purpose.
"Strange, my phone has no signal at all." Yamada Ran raised an eyebrow and looked at Hoshino Jun, asking, "Can your phone make calls?"
Hearing this, Hoshino Jun took out his phone from his bag and glanced at it: "Mine doesn't either. How strange."
"Tsk!"
Yamada Ran's tone was slightly irritated. She raised both hands and rubbed her temples.
She didn't know if she noticed that as her fingers pressed her temples, her elbows also synchronously caused her "fruits" to sway.
Swinging back and forth.
Hoshino Jun watched, worried the "fruits" might be unstable, and wanted to help support them.
"Forget it, let's go. We'll have someone come check it out tomorrow."
"Alright."
Since the owner of the office said it was time to leave, Hoshino Jun naturally wouldn't stay any longer.
Adhering to the traditional hierarchical relationship of the island nation, he waited for the noble Chairwoman Yamada to gather her belongings, then he proactively opened the office door and let her go first. Only then did Hoshino Jun, like a little minion, follow behind Chairwoman Yamada's large behind.
Yamada Ran also had this hierarchical relationship in her subconscious, so she didn't find it unusual for Hoshino Jun to walk a step behind her.
She twisted her plump, rounded, perky butt and walked ahead, feeling completely at ease.
However, just a few seconds after stepping out of the office, Yamada Ran's brows furrowed once again.
Because the entire top-floor hall was pitch black.
The moment Hoshino Jun closed the door, they were plunged into the same situation as inside the office just now: pitch black, unable to see anything.
'Huh?'
'Is it really a power outage?'
'Then why do the buildings outside have power?'
'Damn it, the electrician must not have checked the equipment properly, leading to damage. I must hold a meeting to criticize him tomorrow.'
Just as Yamada Ran was thinking about scolding the electrician, Hoshino Jun turned on his phone's flashlight, and its beam shone on her round and full form, encased in her dress.
"Chairwoman, phones have a flashlight function. Turning it on can illuminate things."
Huh?
Did phones really have such a use?
I didn't even know.
She felt it was strange, but Yamada Ran didn't want to admit that she didn't even understand a phone function.
"Mm, my phone is in my bag, it's a bit hard to get out. Just use yours."
"Yes."
The two continued to walk slowly, one in front of the other, as the crisp "tap-tap-tap" sound of high heels echoed continuously in the hall.
Yamada Ran's mood grew increasingly irritable.
The power was out, and her phone had no signal.
The elevator couldn't be used, and she couldn't call anyone for immediate repairs.
This meant that Yamada Ran, who hadn't walked the stairs in years, would have to walk from the top floor to the first floor today.
'But I'm wearing high heels.'
'So annoying. I'll fire the electrician tomorrow.'
Hoshino Jun noticed the change in Yamada Ran's mood and slowed his pace slightly. He watched as Yamada Ran created some distance between them, allowing the flashlight to illuminate her entire body.
The curves of her legs, subtly visible beneath the tight dress, moved continuously. The rustling sound of fabric against skin, mixed with the crisp clatter of high heels, inevitably sparked some impulsive fantasies.
If he rushed up and embraced Chairwoman Yamada at this moment, he would most likely succeed.
And then, the next day, he would definitely receive a pair of pretty silver handcuffs.
"We're here."
At the large iron door of the fire escape, Hoshino Jun, upholding his sense of hierarchy, was about to quickly step forward and open the door for Yamada Ran.
But the irritated Chairwoman no longer wanted to wait for the slow Hoshino Jun. She forcefully pulled the door open and walked into the stairwell.
"Whoosh—!"
Just as Hoshino Jun quickly stepped into the stairwell, closely following Yamada Ran, a bucket of water, seemingly from nowhere, poured over Yamada Ran from head to toe, chilling her to the bone.
"Bang ~ bang ~ bang!"
The red bucket fell at Yamada Ran's feet, bounced a few times, and then rolled into the corner of the stairwell.
In an instant.
The entire building seemed to fall into a deathly silence.
Anger!
Frustration!
Extremely violent emotions swirled in the heart of the esteemed Chairwoman at this moment; her mood was like a volcano ready to erupt at any time.
"Who did this? I will not let him off."
Staring at the thin string that had pulled the bucket, Yamada Ran's anger at this moment was beyond words.
In Hoshino Jun's eyes, Yamada Ran's well-developed chest, after being hit by a full bucket of water, became soaking wet, and she was huffing and constantly trembling.
The gray dress was already thin, and now it was even more translucent, clinging entirely to her graceful body.
Including her navel and the rounded fullness of her upper body.
And her ample buttocks.
Her beautiful curves were fully revealed to Hoshino Jun's gaze.
"Chairwoman, are you alright!"
Hoshino Jun quickly ran down to Yamada Ran's side, swiftly pulled out tissues from his shoulder bag, and handed them to Yamada Ran to wipe her face.
"Who's so wicked? Why would they put a bucket of water in the stairwell, connected to a string? I curse him to have a son with no asshole."
"Damn it!"
Hoshino Jun cursed Saionji Ryuichi while secretly celebrating that the two thousand yen had survived.
Originally, Hoshino Jun was meant to endure all of this.
But the Chairwoman insisted on walking ahead alone, rushing forward. Could he be blamed for that?
He really couldn't be blamed.
"I'm fine."
Yamada Ran took the tissues Hoshino Jun handed her, took a deep breath, and forced herself to calm down, maintaining her elegant and noble demeanor.
From head to toe, every inch of her body was covered in water droplets, making Yamada Ran's already fair skin appear even more moist and radiant under the flashlight's beam.
Inside the now semi-transparent dress...
The huge cleavage formed by a pair of snow-white breasts, cradled by black lace, was particularly eye-catching.
If an unprincipled person saw this, they would probably be unable to resist on the spot, wanting to push the beautiful Chairwoman into a corner and then wantonly bully her.
It was fortunate that Hoshino Jun was a proper handsome guy, not a dyed-blond, nor a damned dark-skinned man.
That's why no dark stairwell, charming night, or other such predatory scenarios occurred.
Wiping the water from around her eyes, and then pushing her wet hair back from her forehead and temples to ensure her vision wasn't obstructed, Yamada Ran opened her bag to search for her phone.
Fortunately, her bag was made of genuine leather, so no water had seeped in, and everything inside was perfectly intact.
Turning her phone's brightness to maximum, Yamada Ran brushed her hair back and tried to keep her tone calm as she said:
"You go first. I'll go back to the office to get a towel and dry myself."
"Okay."
Hoshino Jun nodded in agreement: "Then Chairwoman, please take your time."
With that, Hoshino Jun didn't linger too long, admiring the drenched, voluptuous beauty and the black lace peeking from her gray dress.
Her high heels clicked step by step upwards, a stark contrast to the light footsteps of sneakers. Soon, Yamada Ran could no longer see Hoshino Jun.
Yamada Ran swore.
If she caught whoever put a bucket of water in the stairwell, she would definitely not let them off.
"Hoo~!"
"Just now, that brat Hoshino Jun probably saw everything, didn't he?"
Recalling the burning gaze in Hoshino Jun's eyes as he stared at her body just now, Yamada Ran inexplicably felt her face flush.
The boy's eyes were very ungentlemanly, but Yamada Ran didn't intend to blame him, because Yamada Ran also knew how good her figure was.
Moreover, she had already seen Hoshino Jun's pectorals and abs all over the past two days.
It could barely be considered even.
Just as Yamada Ran successfully returned to the stairwell entrance, Hoshino Jun had already run all the way to the third floor in one breath.
Looking through the crack of the third-floor entrance, lights were on outside, and the building had power again.
This proved that Saionji Ryuichi had already left the office building.
Hoshino Jun silently leaned against the wall, quietly counting down:
"Five"
"Four"
"Three"
"Two"
"One"
The soft whispered countdown ended, and Hoshino Jun started walking back. At the same time, Yamada Ran's call came from the top floor.
"Hoshino Jun, are you still there?"
"I'm still here!"
"Come up quickly."
--- Downstairs in the office building, now re-illuminated, a tired Saionji Ryuichi leaned against the wall, breathing heavily.
"That damned Hoshino Jun, not only did he sleep with my wife, but he also ordered me to do this and that. He's utterly detestable."
"One day, I'm going to kill you."
"I'm exhausted."
Wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, Saionji Ryuichi opened his phone and began the final step.
To shift the blame for this whole incident to his good cousin, Yamada Tsukasa.
Looking at the last few lines of his chat history with Yamada Tsukasa, Saionji Ryuichi suddenly found it a bit amusing.
"Ryuichi, you must find a way to torment Hoshino Jun to death."
"Any method will do, even if Yamada Kaoru finds out it was me."
"No."
"It still needs to be a bit more discreet. Yamada Kaoru is too crazy, better not provoke her."
"But."
"That bastard Hoshino Jun must be made to feel what true pain is."
My dear brother.
You still want Hoshino Jun to feel pain, huh?
You even believe something like asking someone to confess under the surveillance cameras of an office building. With your pig brain, you're playing with him.
He won't kill you.
It's a good thing I, your brother, joined Hoshino Jun's camp early on, otherwise it might be Hoshino Jun teaming up with Great-Aunt to target Little Aunt now.
Just thinking about today's dirty trick, Saionji Ryuichi felt a chill down his spine.
If it had been Little Aunt, with her delicate physique, how could she have endured being splashed with water?
Fortunately.
Hoshino Jun's preferences are unusual; he's not interested in Little Aunt. This time, it was aimed at Great-Aunt.
"Tsukasa, don't worry. Cousin has followed your instructions and let Hoshino Jun know what true terror is."
"I just pulled the main power switch for the entire building, forced him into the stairwell, and splashed him with water."
"After that, I locked every stairwell entrance and placed signal jammers."
"He'll have to spend the entire night, soaking wet, in that gloomy stairwell."
In the evening Tokyo, even the wind was boisterous.
Yamada Tsukasa, in the back seat of a luxury car, was still on his way home.
The young master was in a very bad mood today because Hoshino Jun's earlier comment, "short is also very cute," had left him unsettled until now.
He didn't even have the mind to go find women.
"Beep beep!"
His phone vibrated. Yamada Tsukasa picked it up with some irritation and glanced at it.
That one glance immediately turned his anger into joy.
He was grinning, his face practically splitting with laughter.
"Indeed, when it comes to bullying people, my cousin is still the expert."
"All I thought of was finding someone to beat Hoshino Jun to vent my anger, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless."
"That's how you deal with scum."
"Idiot, let's see if you dare to mock me again."
Not noticing Saionji Ryuichi's attempt to shift blame in his words, Yamada Tsukasa happily replied to his good cousin with a "well done."
He chuckled for a good while, but after much thought, he still feared Yamada Kaoru's combat prowess.
So, he decided to immediately head to his father's current residence.
"Turn back immediately."
He'd hide for a couple of days, then decide what to do after confirming whether Yamada Kaoru had found out he was behind it.
Once bitten, twice shy.
Yamada Tsukasa was truly terrified by Yamada Kaoru's beating.
Even now, Yamada Tsukasa still remembered how terrifying Yamada Kaoru was that day.
If it hadn't been for someone discovering them in time, Yamada Kaoru had truly intended to kill him.
--- "Bang—!"
In the stairwell of the office building.
A series of dull thuds echoed endlessly. After kicking the door more than ten times, Hoshino Jun was out of breath and leaned weakly against the wall.
"Chairwoman, there's no way. This door is too thick, completely impossible to break." Hoshino Jun's breathing was exceptionally rapid.
But if one looked closely, they would notice that he hadn't shed a single drop of sweat.
Instead, Yamada Ran, who hadn't participated in kicking the door, was trembling incessantly, her entire body soaked.
Don't misunderstand.
Not that kind of water, but the water that had just been splashed on her.
It was already dark, and the night wind was cold.
The cold wind entered the stairwell through the vents, blowing onto Yamada Ran's soaked body, making her legs tremble and preventing her from maintaining her elegant and dignified appearance.
She could only huddle in the corner, trying her best to keep warm.
"What do we do now?"
Hoshino Jun looked eagerly at the voluptuous young woman.
The door to every floor's stairwell had been locked.
Her phone still had no signal, so she couldn't call for help. In this situation, Yamada Ran had no other option but to rely on Hoshino Jun.
Unfortunately,
Yamada Ran remained silent.
Looking at Chairwoman Yamada shivering in the corner, Hoshino Jun scratched his head and said helplessly, "Chairwoman, I've done my best."
Hearing this, Yamada Ran's beautiful face wrinkled bitterly.
She really couldn't understand who had locked this door, and why?
Could the stairwell door actually be locked?
Someone definitely did this on purpose.
But who could this person be?
Who had the audacity to deliberately cause trouble for her, the Chairwoman?
It's so cold now.
A gust of cold wind made Yamada Ran shiver again, and her originally clear autumn eyes became hazy.
"Chairwoman~"
Hoshino Jun's tone was somewhat drawn out, his gaze passing through Yamada Ran's gray dress, looking at the tightly squeezed mass of snow-white flesh.
He said, "Why don't you deal with the water on your clothes first? Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold and fall ill before we even get out."
"No, let's wait a bit longer."
Yamada Ran lowered her head, her voice weary and exhausted: "Let's wait a bit longer, maybe someone will come to rescue us."
As a woman, taking off her clothes in a stairwell was simply out of the question.
For Yamada Ran, this was unacceptable.
Seeing her stubborn demeanor, Hoshino Jun didn't say anything more. He nodded, showing respect for her wishes.
However, as time passed, the night temperature dropped lower and lower, and no one came to open the door from outside the stairwell.
Or perhaps someone had come.
However, an entire building was too vast. Hoshino Jun and Yamada Ran, shouting for help floor after floor, had too low a chance of being heard.
Another five or six minutes passed.
Yamada Ran, tired and hungry, finally couldn't resist the discomfort of being completely soaked, her pretty face looking somewhat haggard.
Her expression became hazy.
Hoshino Jun, who had been observing Yamada Ran's condition, noticed this and quickly walked over, bent down, and tested Yamada Ran's temperature with his fingertips.
The situation was not good.
Her forehead began to feel hot.
"Chairwoman, your forehead is very hot. My advice is for you to immediately take off your wet clothes and wring them dry, otherwise, there might be very serious consequences."
"Forget it, just wait a little longer~!"
Yamada Ran was already feeling a bit dizzy at this point, and she no longer cared about Hoshino Jun's physical contact.
She just shook her head and refused.
Despite the dire situation, she still couldn't let go of her pride.
Hoshino Jun frowned, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he disregarded Yamada Ran's objections and resolutely took off Yamada Ran's knitted cardigan first.
Startled by his series of actions, Yamada Ran suddenly lifted her eyelids and exclaimed, "Hoshino Jun, what are you doing?"
"I'll help you wring out your clothes. I can't just watch Chairwoman faint in front of me and do nothing, can I?"
Hoshino Jun held the knitted cardigan, wringing out the water while observing Yamada Ran's changing expression.
"Splash!"
There was a lot of water in the clothes. With a forceful twist from Hoshino Jun, a large amount of water fell to the ground.
Yamada Ran breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Hoshino Jun really had no further intentions, and her dissatisfaction subsided.
After all, Hoshino Jun was doing it for her own good; there was nothing to complain about.
Seeing her mood improve, Hoshino Jun handed her the wrung-out cardigan:
"Chairwoman, although it's still wet, it's much better than before. Now you can take off what you're wearing underneath, quickly put this one on, and then wring out the rest."
Yamada Ran took the clothes and remained silent.
Hoshino Jun then pointed down the stairwell: "I'll go down to the next floor now. If Chairwoman needs anything, just shout loudly, I'll be able to hear you."
With that, Hoshino Jun left the floor without looking back, giving Yamada Ran enough private space.
"Should I listen to him?"
Looking in the direction Hoshino Jun had left, hesitation arose in Yamada Ran's heart.
Did she really have to... in the stairwell...
Get completely undressed?
Surveying the empty surroundings, after much deliberation, Yamada Ran finally decided to follow her body's needs.
After all, her head was indeed starting to feel dizzy now.
Survival is human instinct.
"Hoshino Jun."
"I'm here."
"You absolutely must not come up, otherwise..."
"Chairwoman, please rest assured, I am not that kind of person."
Yamada Ran didn't continue, but anyone who heard the latter part of her sentence understood implicitly.
If it weren't for her extreme shyness and her somewhat muddled mind,
Yamada Ran wouldn't have threatened Hoshino Jun like that at such a critical moment with just the two of them.
Fortunately, Hoshino Jun was quite sensible, knowing the importance of momentary pleasure versus lifelong freedom, and firmly promised that he would absolutely not come up to peek.
She quickly took off all her soaked clothes, grabbed the knitted cardigan Hoshino Jun had just wrung dry, and wiped herself down.
Then she wrung out her bra and panties.
Hmm, easy peasy.
Watching large drops of water fall onto her high heels, Yamada Ran's vexed and irritated frown finally eased slightly.
However, just as she lifted her left leg, intending to put her panties back on, her right leg suddenly went weak, and she accidentally fell to the ground.
"Bang—!"
What happened, what happened?
The loud noise startled Hoshino Jun, who quickly ran up to check on Yamada Ran's condition.
What met his eyes...
Was a delicate body, fair as snow, in its entirety.
So beautiful.
By his estimation, like Takayanagi Yuki, she was worth over three billion.
Such immense wealth, appearing so brightly before Hoshino Jun's eyes, made his head feel a bit dizzy.
"Hoshino Jun, didn't you say you wouldn't come up?"
Having been seen by someone other than her husband, Yamada Ran's voice trembled slightly. Even at this point, she was still stubborn.
But Hoshino Jun no longer cared about such things.
He rushed over and picked up Chairwoman Yamada, whose skin was so smooth it reflected light, holding her completely in his arms.
"What are you doing? Let go of me quickly."
Feeling herself pressed against the young man's warm chest, skin to skin.
The firm touch of his muscles made Yamada Ran's already somewhat dizzy heart tremble violently, and she couldn't help but feel a little weak.
She fell into a brief moment of absentmindedness.
But quickly coming back to her senses, Yamada Ran pushed hard against Hoshino Jun's chest.
Her face was flushed, her breath hot.
"Let go."
"Chairwoman, your body is important now. You've already fallen; why are you talking so much?"
Hoshino held Yamada Ran tightly, inhaling the rich, faint fragrance emanating from the beautiful young woman's damp body.
The soft, yielding sensation of their skin touching made his mouth naturally dry.
He tightened his embrace around Yamada Ran's body, his lips close to her ear, whispering softly.
"Don't worry, I am an upright person."
Both upright and straight.
Hoshino Jun carried Yamada Ran to a dry spot downstairs, then took off his own shirt, revealing his well-built muscles.
Yamada Ran saw this, her pretty face first flushing, then her delicate body instantly stiffening, and she angrily rebuked him.
"Don't you dare do anything reckless."
"Chairwoman, what are you thinking? I already said your body is important."
Hoshino Jun said, draping his own clothes over Yamada Ran, then turned and went back upstairs to pick up Yamada Ran's clothes and help her wring them out.
This series of smooth actions left Yamada Ran utterly stunned.
'I really misunderstood him.'
'I almost thought he was going to do something to me.'
'Is he too upright, or do I not have much allure for him?'
She glanced down at her full figure, Yamada Ran was confident it was the former.
A man like this shouldn't cheat, right?
If her husband's personality could swap with his, then even if her husband spent all day surrounded by women, Yamada Ran would be at ease.
Little did she know, while Yamada Ran was contemplating, Hoshino Jun was also complaining bitterly.
He hadn't expected Yamada Ran, who usually dressed quite alluringly and whom he sometimes secretly watched, to actually have quite a conservative personality.
Even at that critical moment just now, she flared up at a mere touch.
Should he just give up this opportunity that was so hard to come by today?
No.
Tonight was still long.
Hoshino Jun had all the time in the world to wear down Yamada Ran.
He acted on his thoughts.
After wringing all the water out of the clothes, Hoshino Jun carried them downstairs.
"Chairwoman, although the water has been wrung out, they are still wet. Wearing wet clothes is actually worse than not wearing any at all. For now, just wear my shirt."
At this point, what should and shouldn't be seen had already been seen.
Yamada Ran had nothing left to be coy about.
She just didn't dare to look directly at Hoshino Jun's muscular body, or at her own clothes he was carrying in his arms.
Inside...
Her lace bra and panties were both there.
Yamada Ran said with a red face, "What about you? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"
"Catching a cold or anything, I'm not afraid of that," Hoshino Jun shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I'm just afraid of what would happen if someone suddenly came and saw me naked."
As his words fell, a look of panic appeared in Yamada Ran's eyes.
Oh, right.
What if someone saw their current situation?
She had endured wearing wet clothes earlier precisely because she feared this.
She was, after all, only wearing Hoshino Jun's shirt at the moment.
If she were seen, the consequences would be far more severe than for Hoshino Jun.
On one hand, wearing wet clothes meant a high chance of catching a cold; on the other hand, there was a risk of exposure.
After much thought.
Finally...
Yamada Ran looked at Hoshino Jun with a profound gaze, as if she had made some decision: "Can you give me a piggyback ride? I twisted my ankle just now and can't walk."
"Let's go to the first floor. There's a large hidden space at the bottom of the stairwell on the first floor. Let's hide there first."
Hearing her words, a smile crept onto Hoshino Jun's face. He looked down at Yamada Ran's delicate ankle; it was indeed a bit swollen.
Didn't this mean an opportunity had presented itself?
And Chairwoman Yamada herself had given it.
"Come on up."
Hoshino Jun squatted down. Yamada Ran limped onto the young man's broad back, feeling the warmth of his skin.
And Hoshino Jun's 'little brother'...
At the very second his back came into contact with something like a hot water balloon...
Stood tall and proud.
Because they were going down the stairs, every step caused a jolt.
And Hoshino Jun's back, with every step down...
Was gently pounded by soft cotton.
One hand held Yamada Ran's clothes, the other gripped her smooth, tender thigh to prevent her from falling.
At his lower back, he could clearly feel that Chairwoman seemed to have 'leg hair'.
The 'leg hair' tickled Hoshino Jun's lower back.
Gradually...
The skin tightly pressed against his lower back seemed to be sweating.
Sticky sweat clung to Hoshino Jun's body, making him uncomfortable.
"Mmm-hmm!"
Yamada Ran, on Hoshino Jun's back, let out a muffled sound, her thin lips slightly parted, her broad chest rising and falling unsteadily.
Feeling the young man's broad back, her face grew even hotter.
To be honest, Yamada Ran had never imagined that being carried on someone's back could be so stimulating.
With every step down, she bumped into Hoshino Jun.
'It's fine, it's fine.'
'Hoshino Jun didn't even take advantage of me just now, why am I so flustered?'
'Just treat him like an abnormal man.'
'He's a eunuch, he's gay, he's not a normal man.'
Yamada Ran tried to forcefully ignore Hoshino Jun, but the warmth of the man's back, and her dizziness caused by being cold for too long,
Indirectly led to her willpower slowly declining.
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
Every step Hoshino Jun took, every time Yamada Ran and Hoshino Jun pressed together like a meat patty, made her heart flutter.
Yamada Ran's mouth became increasingly parched, and a cool breeze from the ventilation opening blew through her still-damp hair.
She couldn't help but shiver, completely collapsing onto Hoshino Jun's back.
'Damn it, whoever locked Hoshino Jun and me in this stairwell, I will never forgive you!'
Finally...
They reached the first floor.
Hoshino Jun found the relatively hidden spot Yamada Ran had mentioned.
But the space didn't seem very wide.
"Chairwoman, when do you think we'll be rescued?"
"..."
"Will anyone come to open the door tonight?"
"..."
"Chairwoman?"
When Hoshino Jun put Yamada Ran down, he found that her cheeks were already starting to flush.
"Phew~ I'm fine, don't worry about me."
Yamada Ran's voice was very soft, much more seductive than her previous serious tone.
The corner was very dark; they needed to turn on a phone light to see.
Hoshino Jun sat down beside Yamada Ran and raised his hand to test her forehead again.
It was indeed a little hotter than before.
If it worsened later, Hoshino Jun would follow his original plan: climb out the first-floor stairwell window, then take Yamada Ran to the hospital.
This time, Yamada Ran merely glanced at Hoshino Jun and was not as aggressive as with their previous physical contact.
"Chairwoman, your forehead is very hot."
Hoshino Jun spoke, slowly, slowly inching towards Yamada Ran until their skin touched again.
He was further testing Yamada Ran's bottom line.
"Is it very hot?"
"Mm."
"I don't know either."
The young man's elbow touched a forbidden area.
In the darkness, Yamada Ran's eyes glowed faintly.
'He's always been so proper, it shouldn't be on purpose.'
'Don't get excited.'
'It's so dark here, Hoshino Jun probably won't notice that I'm watching him too.'
Suddenly, Hoshino Jun retreated, searching for Yamada Ran's knitted cardigan.
"Chairwoman, let me help you dry your hair."
Yamada Ran was startled by Hoshino Jun's recent action, thinking she had been discovered.
Her mind was a bit muddled at the moment, and without thinking, she nodded and hummed in agreement.
With permission, Hoshino Jun turned on his phone flashlight, then knelt down in front of Yamada Ran, slowly squeezing forward.
He untied her hair, gently wiping her dark hair with the knitted cardigan.
While his hands were busy, due to his posture, Hoshino Jun's knees also continuously brushed against Yamada Ran's left and right legs.
This time...
It was the knee version of 'fishing in troubled waters'.
Strangely, Chairwoman Yamada, whether from fever or something else, didn't react much.
And so, Hoshino Jun got closer and closer, closer and closer.
'Hoshino Jun's pectoral muscles are almost touching my face.'
Yamada Ran mumbled, her mind exceptionally chaotic.
Dizziness in her head, a hot forehead, and an itching sensation from her legs...
And...
The young man's chest, like a small stove, constantly radiating heat, was already pressed against her nose.
'If only my husband could be as considerate as Hoshino Jun, meticulously drying my hair.'
'If only my husband's personality were as upright as his, not messing around outside.'
'If possible, could I also try to stray just once?'
'My husband has done it so many times, just once for me shouldn't be too much, right?'
The more she thought, the more muddled Yamada Ran became. She twisted her head, telling herself she was truly insane.
"Chairwoman, do you feel better?"
Because of Yamada Ran's movement, Hoshino Jun chose to quickly withdraw, returning to a safe distance.
His knees were soaked.
Seeing this, an emotion called "regret" inexplicably rose in Yamada Ran's heart.
Why did she move?
Her head felt so dizzy.
Her heart felt so itchy.
Her mouth and tongue were dry.
Seeing Yamada Ran didn't answer, Hoshino Jun didn't say anything more. He quietly sat down not far away, waiting for some time to pass, then looked for the next opportunity.
Who knew...
After only about five or six minutes.
Yamada Ran, seeing that Hoshino Jun hadn't come back to her side for a long time, actually stood up actively.
"Hoshino Jun, I ask you, how did it feel just now, taking advantage of me?"
"Huh?"
Hoshino Jun looked up, turned on his flashlight, and met a flushed face.
'Just this once, since my husband is so promiscuous, it's not like I'm doing him wrong.'
Before Hoshino Jun could even think of how to reply, Yamada Ran, who couldn't even walk steadily and whose brain was muddled,
Wobbled and squatted in front of him, then reached out and touched his abs.
"Don't think I don't know anything. You dared to take advantage of me."
"Now, I'm going to eat you."
