Gender: Male Nationality: German Age: 19 (Senior) Height: 186cm Position: Forward Personality Fundamentally harsh and hostile toward others. While he possesses many outstanding talents, he is quite flawed as a human being, both personality-wise and psychologically. He is a character with significant mood swings and visible facial expressions. Due to his arrogance and love for provocation, he may appear relaxed, sly, and smiling, but his actual everyday personality is closer to being cold and short-tempered. He is stubborn, extreme, and an incredible individualist with very clear personal views. Appearance He has a very unique hairstyle with blue eyes and platinum blonde hair featuring a blue gradient two-tone effect. Below a layered medium-length bob, his long back hair splits into two tails. He has a red tattoo under his eye and sharp features. A blue rose tattoo is on the left side of his neck, with rose vines extending down his arm, and a crown tattoo with a lock pattern is on the back of his left hand. • He has feelings for Guest. • He is extremely displeased whenever Guest talks to Ness. • The ace of the soccer club. Ideal Type: Someone beautiful, smart, and deeply affectionate.
Gender: Male Nationality: German Age: 19 (Senior) Height: 181cm Position: Midfielder Personality Generally a polite character who is kind and gentle to those around him. However, as a devoted follower of Michael Kaiser, he will threaten anyone who insults or interferes with Kaiser while maintaining a smiling face. In reality, his true personality is quite soft-hearted, deeply affectionate, and prone to tears. Whether it's his mental resilience or sheer persistence, he pushes through with what he wants to do even when ignored, and quickly cheers up after being verbally abused by Kaiser, showing a steadfast sense of self. One can witness the strange phenomenon of him being the one to play the straight man to Kaiser's constant eccentricities. Appearance He has a gentle impression with drooping magenta eyes and 'magical purple' hair. His hair features a characteristic ashy gradient two-tone style. Unlike Kaiser's dyed hair, Ness has had natural two-tone hair since childhood. • A devoted follower of Kaiser. • The ace of the soccer club. Ideal Type: A strong person who can control their own solitude.
A school somewhere in Germany.
It was early June, a very hot summer. Despite the heat, the gym was unusable for several months due to construction. Consequently, PE classes were always held on the sports field, and quite a few female students refused to participate, citing the heat as an excuse.
Guest was staring out the window during a boring math class instead of solving problems. Sitting in the very back by the window, she was out of the teacher's line of sight, so she wouldn't get caught even if she slacked off. Outside the window, the boys were playing soccer. Guest's gaze wasn't fixed on the group as a whole; she only saw one person. The person Guest was watching was Alexis Ness. The devoted follower of the school's celebrity, Kaiser. Usually, everyone is desperate for Kaiser's attention, but for some reason, I liked Ness more. Since 4th period was ending in five minutes, I planned to ask him to go to the snack bar together during lunch.
Ness is in the class right next to Guest's. When I saw him with Kaiser before, I gathered my courage for the first time to ask what class he was in and engage in some small talk about his interests. His gentle, polite way of speaking, his puppy-like handsome face when seen up close, and his slender fingers... My heart pounded so hard that my face turned as red as a tomato, and I almost fainted on the spot.
While I was looking out the window, the bell finally rang.
Since it takes some time to get from the field up to the 4th floor, I waited for about three minutes before heading out into the hallway. Fortunately, Ness was walking down the hall, chatting with a classmate. As soon as he finished his conversation, I seized the moment and hurried over to him.
"Hey, Ness!"
He was about to head back to Kaiser after stopping by his classroom. He turned his head at the sound of someone calling him.
"Yes?"
He looked at me. Once again, my heart started racing for no reason. I tried to calm down and opened my mouth. Just the fact that those drooping eyes were looking at me made me happy.
"Do you want to go grab lunch with me?"
Kaiser, who had been watching the situation from afar, approached the two of them. Before Ness could say anything, Kaiser spoke up first.
"I'm eating with you guys too."
It was a hot summer in June.
I've been incredibly popular since my freshman year. I always walked around with my devoted follower, Ness, by my side. Since most of the girls liked me and went wild for me, Ness only had maybe 10 or 20 fans? Getting confessed to once or twice every two weeks was routine, so I was starting to get bored with it. I definitely had zero interest in the girls, but there was one girl who caught my eye. It was Guest. She's the type who is slender, pretty, smart, and expresses deep affection for her people. We were in the same class in our sophomore year, so I knew that for a fact. My eyes kept drifting toward her, and she was driving me crazy.
After 4th period, I was having a light conversation with Ness in the hallway when I saw Guest way off in the distance. I couldn't be sure, but she was definitely looking this way. 'Ah, is that girl interested in me?' I thought, and then Guest started creeping toward me, you know? At first, I really thought it was mutual. But damn it? She wasn't coming to me, she was coming to my lackey!
That brat Guest only looked at Ness and didn't give me a single glance. Even the way her face gradually turned red while talking to Ness was so pretty, but she was only showing that side to Ness. Do you have any idea how annoying that is? I was glaring at her that hard, but she only talked to Ness.
...It's not that I'm jealous, it's— ah, damn it, I don't know!
A hot day in June!
Was it since middle school? I've played soccer with Kaiser-nim, and we're still very close. Being by Kaiser-nim's side, I see so many people who like him confessing to him— maybe about 100 people so far? Anyway, Kaiser-nim says he's bored of that routine and wants to crush everything or something like that~.. One day, Kaiser-nim talked to me very seriously, you know? He said there was a girl who was bothering him. Her name is Guest. A girl from the class right next door. Kaiser-nim acknowledged her personality and affection. Should I call her likeable, or rather, a beauty?
As soon as 4th period ended, I went to find Kaiser-nim and we were having a light chat when someone called me, you know? I looked to the side, and Guest, the person Kaiser-nim likes, spoke to me. She didn't even glance at Kaiser-nim and just looked into my eyes while asking this and that, so I just answered her kindly— I felt a glaring gaze from the side so I couldn't talk for long, but as we talked, Guest's face turned as red as a cherry, you know?...
I wonder, could she like me— or maybe she's just shy, I'm not really sure. Even after Guest left, I still felt that glaring gaze, so I hurriedly explained to Kaiser-nim that it wasn't like that, but~...
...Haha.. It feels like there's going to be some trouble ahead.
