My 2D anime story

Lunch Break.

Su Yu, Yui Yuigahama, Hina Ebina, and Yumiko Miura all made their way to the Service Club room.

By the time they arrived, Yukino Yukinoshita was already there.

When Su Yu stepped inside, Yukino's face flushed slightly—

She couldn't help but remember the reply he had sent her last night.

"That's a memory I treasure. I don't want to share it with anyone. For a brief moment, I felt like I was blessed by the goddess of fortune."

It was so embarrassing.

Su Yu was always like this—

She couldn't tell if he was serious or just messing with her.

Was she angry?

Not really—she just felt… flustered.

But was she not angry?

No, she definitely felt a strong urge to step on him a few times.

Except—

She thought back to the last time she stepped on him, and what he had said in return…

A wave of helplessness washed over her.

"I can't seem to do anything against him…?"

Even if she told Yuigahama, she was more worried Yuigahama would misunderstand and things would get awkward again.

"Yukinon, look at this!"

Yuigahama's voice snapped her out of her thoughts.

She instinctively turned toward Yui's phone screen—

And froze.

For a split second, her heart skipped a beat.

"...Yuigahama-san, this is…?"

"Why is there a picture of me…?"

"Su Yu-kun took this photo of you! I think you look super cute! I really like it! Can I keep it?"

Yukino stiffened.

What… what kind of situation is this?!

She immediately shot a questioning glare at Su Yu.

"I traded this photo for one of Yui's. She really likes you—aesthetically, of course. Just like me."

Su Yu shrugged casually.

Yukino's mouth slightly opened, at a loss for words.

She turned back to Yui, who was still smiling cheerfully.

"Yukinon, pleeease?"

Yukino hesitated for a moment—then sighed in relief.

"So that's how it is…"

"You can keep it. If you really want my photos, you can come to my house and pick one from my album."

Yukino reluctantly agreed.

"Really?! Thank you, Yukinon!"

Yui beamed happily.

"It's nothing. And when I visit your house, I'll pick one of yours too."

"Of course! If you like, you can pick several!"

"Just one is enough."

The tension in Yukino's chest finally eased up.

For a moment, she thought she had walked into a disaster.

But it turned out to be just Yui being Yui.

Lunchtime

During the meal, Yui was extra clingy with Yukino.

She even leaned against her a little—acting closer than usual.

Yukino wasn't used to this level of affection—

But… she didn't push her away either.

She even shared some side dishes from her bento with Yui.

Watching the two girls interact so naturally, Su Yu had a sudden thought—

"If this were an anime, I'd probably be completely irrelevant."

"And the production company would definitely be Kirara Fantasia."

Afternoon Classes

After lunch, Su Yu took over Yukino's tutoring role.

She had already prepared study guides for each of the three girls.

Su Yu only needed one class period to memorize all her notes.

During the next period, he flipped through a different book—

Not manga-related—

But a Supervision Interview Collection.

After School—Service Club Tutoring

With Yukino heading to Flashlight Animation, Su Yu took the three girls to the Service Club for tutoring.

At first, Yui was skeptical.

"Can Su Yu-kun really tutor us? Yukinon is way better at this…"

But—

To her complete shock—

Su Yu didn't even need to look at the textbook.

He could instantly point out all their mistakes from memory alone.

"…"

Yui stared at him in disbelief.

"He remembers every textbook…?"

She stole a glance at Su Yu.

Yukino had always ranked first in their grade—

But now, there was a real possibility that Su Yu might surpass her.

Just imagining it… made her smile unknowingly.

"Yuigahama-san, stop daydreaming and focus on your book."

Su Yu's stern voice snapped her back to reality.

"Ah! S-Sorry!"

Her face turned red as she quickly looked down at her notes.

Hina giggled softly.

Meanwhile, Yumiko stared at her textbook, working harder than usual.

She had the most assignments, and she didn't want to disappoint Su Yu.

For the next two hours, the only sound in the clubroom was the flipping of pages.

End of Tutoring

After a quick quiz session, Su Yu nodded in approval.

"Tutoring is over for today."

Yui stretched, pouting slightly.

"Su Yu-kun is too strict… Yukinon is way gentler."

Su Yu closed his book, looking at her seriously.

"If you don't work hard, you might have to take remedial classes during the holidays."

"Wha—! I-I'll study, I promise!"

Yui panicked immediately.

At Sobu High, failing grades meant mandatory summer school.

And if she had to stay back—

Then Su Yu wouldn't be able to spend summer with her.

"Good. If you fail, I might just find a different girlfriend. I don't want to date an idiot."

"I'm not an idiot!!"

Yui pouted angrily.

"If she fails, then maybe I should try dating Su Yu-kun instead~?"

Hina teased playfully.

"Hinaaa!"

Yui's cheeks puffed up adorably.

Yumiko stole a glance at Su Yu.

"Would he actually…?"

But before she could think too much—

Su Yu suddenly turned to Hina with a calm smile.

"If it's you, I might consider it."

"Oh? Are you serious, Su Yu-kun? I'm intrigued~."

Hina laughed playfully.

"Yui, you should be careful. Su Yu-kun said I'm smart. He likes smart girls, right?"

"Su Yu-kun…!"

Yui pouted again, glaring at him.

Su Yu simply reached out and pinched her cheek.

After School Walk

As they walked out of school, Su Yu held Yui's hand.

Passing by the soccer field, he glanced at Hayama Hayato.

Yumiko noticed his gaze, her expression complicated.

"I don't even like Hayama anymore… So why…?"

Su Yu quickly looked away and continued walking forward.

At the School Gate

"See you tomorrow, Yui~!"

Hina waved cheerfully.

"See you tomorrow~!"

Yui smiled and waved back.

Once Hina and Yumiko left, she wrapped both arms around Su Yu's arm.

"Yui, your smile makes you look a little… dumb."

"Su Yu-kun! That's so mean!"

"No, I meant it's cute. Only adorable girls smile like that."

"R-Really…?"

Yui blushed happily.

"So, between me and Yukinon, who's cuter?"

"You are. Even Yukino agrees."

"Ehh? Yukinon said that?! That makes me so happy!"

"Yui, who do you like more—me or Yukino?"

Yui hesitated.

"Umm… that's…"

Su Yu leaned closer.

"Wait, Yui, you're actually hesitating? You like Yukino more than me?!"

"I-I'm sorry, Su Yu-kun! I like Yukinon more!"
