Chapter 427: [425] Cake
Asagi Aiba lifted her head, her gaze colliding instantly with August's.
For a moment, Aiba froze. It wasn't just that August recognized her—she also knew exactly who he was.
After all, August had become somewhat of a celebrity at Saikai Academy. His titles as "Brother-in-Law Supreme" and "Natsuki's Boyfriend" were well-known, garnering attention from nearly everyone.
Although Aiba was a high school student, she had heard his name mentioned more than once.
"Sorry, I didn't see you there," August said apologetically.
"No—no problem at all!" Aiba stammered.
Her initial irritation evaporated instantly. No matter how composed a girl might seem, she was still a woman at heart. Just as men are drawn to beauty, women are often captivated by handsome men. A good-looking stranger could make anyone momentarily flustered.
But Aiba quickly regained her composure, shaking her head firmly and chastising herself for her lapse in discipline.
Unlike most people, her heart already belonged to someone. Yet, despite her feelings, she had never confessed, and the person in question remained oblivious—an obliviousness that bordered on legendary.
She had lost count of how many times she had felt disappointed. Yet even now, she continued to wait for him.
"You're Asagi Aiba, right?"
