### **Chapter 12**

Masahiro returns from school after his heated "conversation" to the Ohshiba home, where he enters slightly flustered from his encounter with Kousuke to an upset Fukushige. Kensuke is yelling at Shige, because he called his brother and best friend dating "disgusting", and demands Shige leaves. Kensuke defends Masahiro and his brother because they are family for him, and is very offended at Shige's words.

Asaya informs Masahiro that his secret is out (in regards to him and Kousuke dating), chairman apologizes for accidentally causing this mess for Masahiro. However, faux blond says it his own doing that this happened. Masahiro apologizes to Yamabe and chairman, for if they find his relationship with Kousuke disgusting like Shige, but asks them to not tell anyone about it. The two friends explain they would never, and that they can't judge because they have never been in relationships. Chairman apologizes for outting Masahiro, as he believed that everyone else had already known except him.

Yamabe questions Shige's reaction, and if their friend likes Masahiro because his reaction to Masahiro and Kousuke dating was extremely harsh in comparison to everyone else's and unlike him. Asaya states that the love Shige has for Masahiro is "the kind of love he hates."

The chapter switches to Shige at home, providing insight into the fact that his mom is not home very often with a note from her that she is out working late as well as his father. Shige has a flashback to when he first Masahiro with Yamabe, and he considered him a punk who would help them get girls. He soon found out that his new friend was simply a nice guy who would not help them with getting any girls. Shige had noticed from the beginning how close Kousuke was to Masahiro, but thought they were simply friends (which had true in the beginning).

### **Chapter 12.5**

Chapter 12.5 takes place before the end of the year and starts with Masahiro, Asaya, and Kensuke discussing food. They pause when they see Kousuke speaking to Assistant Kaide. Assistant Kaide is eating a sweet roll and spills on her chest which Kousuke helps her out by providing her with a towel to help her get cleaned up. Masahiro watches the scene, and is very jealous afterwards (and during). Masahiro is worried that Kousuke is into large breasts, because he doesn't have any. This concerns Masahiro so much that he asks if Kousuke would prefer him with breasts or no breasts.

Kousuke retorts with bigger is better but size doesn't really matter and then proceeds to tease Masahiro who faints from how flustered he gets. Kousuke is forced to finish the dinner of sushi rice because he low key knocked out his boyfriend causing him to be mocked by Asaya for his bad cooking.
