[Hot] Help! My boyfriend keeps suspecting I’m using him as a substitute

For the record, the original poster has had two boyfriends. They’re cousins, and they look a little alike.

My ex was the older brother, and the main reason I dated him was that his face was exactly my type. While we were dating, he kept suspecting I had feelings for his younger brother. We eventually broke up amicably for various reasons. After the breakup, his cousin pursued me. Now that we’re dating, my current boyfriend keeps suspecting I’m using him as a substitute for his brother.

I swear on the Asahi-kage in the police handbook that I’m really not! I sincerely liked and earnestly dated each of them. It absolutely wasn’t what they think!

[Heads-Up Guide]

1. A retro revival, set in a single manga universe. The heroine is a police officer, but this has nothing to do with Detective Conan. No U-17, no U-17, no U-17!

2. The original story’s timeline is shifted forward by three years. Everyone is in high school when the story begins: Little Pillar is a first-year, and the heroine is a third-year. There are no match scenes. It’s a slice-of-life story, and the heroine has her own main plotline.

3. Early on, the heroine will date Big Brother Tangerine for a while. She won’t get together with Little Pillar until the middle to later part of the story. Before then, she feels nothing but friendship toward him.

4. The relationship with Big Brother Tangerine ends amicably. All the romances take place after both parties are adults, and there is no case of using someone as a substitute. She treats every relationship as a serious one-on-one commitment. Aside from Big Brother Tangerine and Little Pillar, there are no other romantic storylines.

5. The heroine is a carefree, strong, natural-born schemer (her arms are exceptionally strong from playing the piano).

6. Pairing: Little Pillar from Seigaku.

Theme: Trust is an indispensable part of romance.
