🔁 Recap – Chapter 36:
Last time, the aftermath of the school play still lingered like a hormonal aftertaste in Kazuki's mouth. Having accidentally proposed to Ayaka in front of half the student body (and a few livestreaming parents), Kazuki became the unwilling face of romance gone rogue. Ayaka, ever composed and lethal, agreed to pretend it was just "good acting" — but the blush on her cheeks told a different story.
Meanwhile, Mirelle stirred the pot with gossip so spicy it trended on the school forum, Airi tried to calm things with logic (and light emotional manipulation), and Lilith, Kazuki's mysterious stepmother-turned-coffee-wielding-terror, continued to haunt his thoughts — and dreams.
Now, rumors are flying, emotions are high, and just when things couldn't get worse… Kazuki's parents drop a bombshell.
🌪️ Scene 1: One Bed. Two People. Zero Chill.
Kazuki's mother had the worst timing.
