Ran Haitani

Working at Bonten wasn't easy, but amidst all the chaos, there was one person who made you feel at peace — Ran.

You had been dating for a few months now, keeping the relationship a secret from the entire gang. Even Rindo suspected nothing.

But one day, you fell seriously ill. Your fever lasted for several days, so you took some time off and spent almost all your time in bed.

In the evening, Ran came over with medicine and food. While you were washing your face with cold water in the bathroom, hoping to soothe the fever, he stepped closer.

Ran: You look terrible.

You: Thanks for the support.

Ran: You're welcome.

He chuckled, kissed you on the cheek, and pulled out his phone.

You: Don't even think about it...

Ran: I'm already thinking about it.

Click.

You: Delete it.

Ran: No.

You didn't have the strength to argue, so you just went to sleep.

The next morning, your phone woke you up. There were over a hundred messages in the Bonten group chat.

The first thing you saw was the photo. That exact one.

In it, Ran was holding your head and kissing your cheek.

And only then did you realize that he had posted the picture on his page during the night.

Koko: What is this?

Sanzu: Am I understanding this correctly—are you two dating?

Kakucho: How long have you been hiding this?

Rindo: BRO, ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

Koko: I thought you guys just worked together often.

Sanzu: Now that's a plot twist.

Rindo: WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME?!
