Become My Prince

Hearing Ren's voice, Yoshida immediately stood up from her chair, her movements abrupt as she prepared to leave. 

But Haruto was faster. 

He grabbed her wrist firmly, his serious gaze locking onto hers.

"Don't," he said, his voice low but commanding. "Stay here with me."

"But… he called," Yoshida stammered, her voice trembling with uncertainty. "I can't just ignore him."

Her hesitance made his resolve harden. Without another word, he tugged on her wrist, pulling her away from the direction of Ren's voice.

"Hayase! Let go of me!" she cried, struggling against his grip. 

Her resistance was met with unyielding strength as Haruto continued walking, his steps hurried and purposeful. 

"If you don't let go, I'll scream!"

Haruto halted abruptly and turned to face her, his expression intense. "Scream if you dare."
