A Dream Boyfriend, but Disposable

Since she was little, Shenmu Chiyo often dreamed of learning skills in her sleep.

At first, she dreamed of the kittens near her home, the rabbits at the pet shop, and the pandas at the zoo.

Later, she began dreaming about people...

[Older Brother? Boyfriend?]

[You have an older brother who is very patient with you, and a lover who is good at fixing cars.

One is called Matsuda Jinpei, and the other Hagiwara Kenji.

Rent in Tokyo is expensive, so you have shared an apartment since graduation. But sometimes, as if by unspoken agreement, he stays out all night and leaves the apartment to the two of you.]

[Will Older Brother... leave tonight too?]

In the middle of a raging storm, Shenmu Chiyo arrived at the apartment and saw the two of them walking toward her.

One had a head of black curls. He casually pulled off his jacket and draped it over her, then used his hands, smeared with black motor oil, to fasten her buttons impatiently, buttoning every one from top to bottom. "What are you doing out here? The car's fixed. Go back inside."

Keyword: fixing cars.

The other had slightly longer hair and bright purple eyes. He watched her with a smile and gently rubbed her temple with the heel of his hand, clean of any motor oil. He patiently watched the curly-haired man button up her coat, then asked her softly, "Why did you come out? Did you get rained on?"

Keyword: patience.

Shenmu Chiyo understood: the irritable curly-haired man who could fix cars was her boyfriend, and the gentle, long-haired man who was so patient was her older brother!

So after her "long-haired older brother" went into the apartment first, she seized the opportunity to hug her "curly-haired boyfriend," tilted her head up to kiss him, then put on an affectionate, conspiratorial voice as if whispering to her boyfriend and asked coyly, "Is Older Brother leaving tonight? He wouldn't stay and bother the happy couple, would he? That's so mean."

"Curly-haired boyfriend": "..."

He lowered his eyes to look at her, his lips pressed into a tight line. "...Big..."

As if the word burned his tongue, he fell silent again. It was a long time before he gritted his teeth and said,

"I'm staying."

[Nemesis? Lover?]

[You have a boyfriend, an FBI undercover agent who infiltrated an organization. Your boyfriend has a nemesis, a notorious code-named member of the organization.

One is called Moroboshi Dai, and the other Amuro Tooru.

Rumor has it they got into a huge fight today, battling to the death.]

[The one who survives... will he be your lover or your nemesis?]

After the painful experience of mistaking her boyfriend the first time, Shenmu Chiyo thought it over for a long while, then decisively lay down on the sofa and pretended to be a girlfriend with a high fever, deliriously waiting for her lover to return.

Half an hour into her act, she heard the door open, followed by footsteps drawing closer.

Without opening her eyes, she naturally grabbed the hem of the newcomer's clothes and pulled him down, then wound her arms around his neck and pretended to kiss him in a daze. "Darling, you're back?"

"..."

The newcomer did not resist. In a voice so low it was almost impossible to recognize, he replied, "Mm. I'm back."

Yes!

He answered! It's her boyfriend!

Shenmu Chiyo secretly opened her eyes and caught a glimpse of gold. She understood: this time, her boyfriend was blond.

Mixed-race? No wonder he's FBI.

[Black Side? Red Side?]

[You have an enemy and a lover.

Your enemy is a ruthless executive in a dangerous organization, a member of the Black Side. Your lover is an undercover agent, seemingly just as ruthless, but a member of the Red Side.

Today, you are supposed to meet your lover and pass along information.

But two people show up for the rendezvous.]

[Who is the enemy... and who is the lover?]

Two tall, slender men stood at the mouth of a dark alley.

One had catlike eyes and a smiling face, and looked gentle enough. But he raised his gun and spoke in a terrifyingly casual tone: "I didn't expect anyone to be here. You must be a witness, poor girl."

"Should I eliminate her, Gin?"

...What a creep. He's definitely a creep!

The other had long, slender silver hair and a stern gaze. Hearing the request to eliminate her, he looked at the gunman as if he were already dead. "Put the gun down, Scotch."

...He's her boyfriend, right?

He's still protecting her at a moment like this. He has to be her boyfriend!

With her creepy enemy right in front of her, Shenmu Chiyo acted at once. She had to keep her "silver-haired boyfriend's" police identity from being exposed, smooth things over after his demand to "put the gun down," and save her own life.

"I'm terribly sorry, sir. The truth is, I'm not an innocent passerby who happened to stumble upon your crime. I'm a criminal who has been secretly following you."

"The reason I followed you is simple," she declared confidently. "Silver-haired sir, I fell in love with you at first sight!"

"Creepy enemy": "..."

"Silver-haired boyfriend": "..."

"…"

But anyway, the "silver-haired boyfriend" still took her away.

Yes!

# A free win. There's no way I could mistake him, right?

# Mistaking him once is one thing, but there's no way I could mistake him twice!

# Mistaking him twice is one thing, but there's no way I could mistake him three times!

# ...I've had it.

Premise: No matter what, there is always hope in life.
