I am that male friend in the harem story

As expected, when Sagami approached him, Tobe could feel that all eyes were on them. Yumiko's previous talk on the break, which exposed that Sagami had feelings for him, had made all of them think that Sagami planned to confess to him.

Still, while the girls frowned, thinking that this vixen moved so fast, all the guys wanted to complain to Sagami, and their complaint was simple: why the fuck did you make a move on a guy with a girlfriend!?

The majority of them, no except for Tobe, all of them were single, and even if Sagami wasn't the most beautiful, she was pretty cute, and many had a secret crush on her despite her slightly bitch exterior.

"Do you need me for something, Sagami-san?"

"I-I want to talk with you for a bit."

"Oh? What's wrong?"

"Can we talk somewhere? It's hard for me to talk here..."

Sagami's voice was soft, meek, like a girl in love, clearly ready to give her confession.

But—

"I am sorry." Tobe apologized and said, "I am afraid my girlfriend might misunderstand, so if you want to talk, then it is better to be here, or is it a conversation that you can't talk about here?"

"I..."

Sagami didn't expect a rejection from Tobe, which made her feel awkward and even embarrassed, especially when she could see Yumiko snicker at her direction. However, she couldn't blame Tobe since she was the one who had caused a huge misunderstanding between him and his girlfriend. While she could say that she wanted to apologize, she also wanted to confess.

Yes, she decided to confess.

In her mind, as long as a guy was confessed to by a girl, especially by a cute, lovely girl like her, the guy would be happy, right?

Unexpectedly, Tobe refused her, but Sagami couldn't blame him since it meant he loved her girlfriend instead of being a scumbag that would accept the advances of every girl, but then again, she had caused him trouble before, so probably, he didn't like her, right?

So—

"I-I just want to say sorry for before."

In the end, Sagami decided not to play any tricks and just apologized sincerely, bowing her head slightly. "I know that my words have caused you trouble, and while I can't change what I said in the past, please let me apologize."

"...."

Tobe had to admit that a woman was quite unfair, and at the same time, people were quite weak when it came to sincerity, but he felt regret for not following Sagami, since with how she apologized, especially in front of everyone, he knew that he had to forgive her.

With all eyes on the two, and as Sagami apologized, Tobe knew that the only words he could say were to accept her apology; yet, he had to admit that the feeling of having been forced to make a decision due to an inevitable situation made him feel uncomfortable.

Still, this was just his personal feeling, and he also wasn't stupid enough to let his personal feeling cloud his judgment about what to do, even though it felt strange to just forgive Sagami immediately after what she had done.

"It's fine. You don't have to worry, but don't do it next time, okay?"

Even though Tobe knew that Sagami did all of that since she wanted to attract his attention, the trouble that she had given him was quite troublesome, especially when Yukinoshita had started to have a tendency towards yandere.

While Yukinoshita always appeared gentle by his side, Tobe sometimes noticed how her eyes became cloudy, morbid, and filled with an unhealthy obsession toward him.

"I-I won't do it, but..." Sagami hesitated, her face was a little red, as they were so close, his gentleness somehow made her feel an impulse that she never thought she would do, but in the end, she said, "The truth is... I-I like you, so I tried to attract your attention that way."

"...." Everyone.

Tobe wasn't the only one who was silent, but everyone in the class, and even Yukinoshita, who was outside, was also dumbfounded, never expecting that someone would be so bold as to confess directly in front of everyone!

Yet, without a doubt, his current feeling was like that of a farmer who tried to help a snake that was hurt, yet somehow, he was bitten by it.

'This bitch!'

Yumiko, Yukinoshita, and many others couldn't help but think that Sagami was such a bitch, who still confessed to someone even though she knew he had a girlfriend.

As for the guys, they thought that Tobe was so lucky!

Dammit!

What was wrong with Tobe!?

What was the difference between them and Tobe?

The length of their hair?

Should they make their hair longer?

After all, in their minds, their faces were about the same as Tobe's—

No, Tobe was a little more handsome than they, but that was it!

They weren't that different!

"..."

If only the girls knew what the boys thought, they would stare at them in silence.

Still, what was important was Tobe's answer, and as expected, he was surprised, but quickly, he calmed himself, and said softly and calmly, "Thank you, Sagami. I am happy to hear your feelings."

"Then—"

"But I am sorry. I will have to refuse your feelings since..." While Tobe felt strange when he said this, especially with how he had slept with another woman, he still said, "I am in love with someone else, and you should be clear who she is, right?" As he said that, he glanced at Yukinoshita, who was peeking, which made her face blush. She tried to hide before peeking at him again, shyly yet happily.

"Ah, no, no! I know that you have a girlfriend, and... and, I just want to tell you my feelings. I-I don't expect you to accept my feelings... but... but... thank you for listening. I-I bet if we date, it won't work since I am not as beautiful as your girlfriend..."

The more Sagami talked, the more she became depressed, but Tobe said, "Don't put yourselves down. You are cute, Sagami, but I am just in love with someone now, and I am sure no matter who the guys that you are confessing to, they will be happy to know that someone as cute as you likes them."

"I-Including you?"

Tobe wasn't sure why kindness was often mistaken for him having feelings for someone.

Cough!

When this was deliberately coughed, Sagami quickly became tense and apologized. "I-I am sorry, Tobe-kun!" She then met Yukinoshita, who stared at her, so she bowed her head awkwardly and ran away!

"Ah, wait, Sagami!"

Naturally, Sagami's followers quickly followed, which Yukinoshita sighed helplessly, feeling a bit lonely since even if Sagami was such a loser, she still had many who were willing to follow her, but fortunately, Yukinoshita wasn't alone anymore.

"You are so popular."

As she walked toward him, Yukinoshita couldn't help but say so.

"But for someone that I love, I refuse a cute girl like her."

"You are such a good and loyal guy! Your girlfriend must be happy to have a boyfriend like you."

"...."

Tobe's lips twitched when he saw her laughing, which made him sigh helplessly and wrap his arm around her thin, round shoulder. "Let's go."

"Um."

Pulling his arm tighter, Yukinoshita smiled and leaned on him intimately under the gaze of many, who let out a helpless sigh. Yet, even if he loved her, she wouldn't let her guard down, since if she did, those women would jump up and leap toward him like sharks that smelled the scent of blood.
