It all began on a school trip, under the cover of night. A guy named Ryo, his heart pounding a frantic rhythm, managed to sneak into the girls’ room. His mission was simple, yet monumentally important: to share his first kiss with his crush, Hina. But fate, as it often does, had other plans. Just as he was mustering his courage, the sound of chattering voices and approaching footsteps startled them. With no time to spare, a split-second decision was made. They scrambled into the one hiding spot available, a cramped closet. There, in the musty darkness, surrounded by the whispers of their friends just outside the door, their romantic mission was aborted.

That failed kiss, however, became the foundation of something beautiful. Hina and Ryo began dating, their relationship blossoming from that night. Yet, Ryo developed a peculiar… preference. Perhaps inspired by their initial closet confinement, he developed a thrilling fixation on finding hidden, semi-public places within the school grounds for their intimate moments. For Hina, this was the one quirk in their otherwise perfect relationship.

The game of “hide-and-seek” was far from over. Its next chapter unfolded during a regular club activity. Hina, going about her day, was suddenly pulled aside and handed a note from Ryo, summoning her to the sports equipment shed. What could he possibly want in there? As she slipped into the dim, dusty storage room, Ryo made his request, a hopeful and mischievous glint in his eye.
