Kai glanced over his shoulder for the third time that day, checking to see if they were being followed. His hand tightened around Lina's, and he leaned in close, whispering as they walked.
A few days had passed since Kai became a national champion, and now, he wanted to go on a date with Lina before attending the Yuze's and the others' graduation tomorrow.
"You have no idea how many times I've been stopped just trying to get groceries," he muttered.
He was dressed casually (better than his ratty shorts and shirt, of course), but there was no hiding his height, his distinct walk, and that aura he carried after the Nationals.
Lina chuckled, giving his hand a reassuring squeeze. "Well, my boyfriend is very popular now," she teased, raising an eyebrow at him.
Her eyes sparkled with amusement, clearly enjoying his discomfort more than she should.
