About How F/ACE Captain Tachibana Keito Keeps Disciplining Me

I've had a wish for a long time: once I got into college, I'd create a whole new persona. I wouldn't be a well-behaved girl anymore. I'd be a lively, fiery gyaru.

I'd already rented an apartment near campus and prepared a whole wardrobe of new clothes. But two days before school began, while I was dressed like a gyaru and standing outside a convenience store, I ran into Tachibana Keito, the older boy from next door.

I was stunned and hurriedly covered my face, pretending I hadn't seen him.

But he grabbed my wrist and scrutinized my outfit with a piercing gaze. "What's going on here?"

My face flushed bright red as I stammered out my wish.

"I... I want to be a gyaru."

Tachibana Keito's expression darkened even more. He wanted to take me back to his house and find out what had brought about this change.

I shook my head and said, "Wouldn't that be bad? You're the leader of F/ACE. What if people found out you'd brought a girl home?"

That's right, besides being the older boy next door, he's the leader of an idol group that debuted two years ago after a talent competition. His public image is warm and friendly, but in private he's very serious.

I both liked and feared him. I liked him because he was a great cook, and feared him because he kept a closer eye on me than my parents did. Even after his debut, he stayed in frequent contact with me.

At that moment, I was worried he'd tell everyone that I wanted to become a gyaru.

I grabbed his sleeve and begged him not to tell my parents.

Tachibana Keito agreed, but he needed to know what clothes I'd bought.

I didn't object, but I never imagined this would be the start of Tachibana Keito taking more and more control over my life...
