My name filled every page of my sleeping childhood friend's notebook.
The after-school library was wrapped in silence and the scent of old books. I was supposed to be studying for finals with my childhood friend, Jin Saeki, but he had fallen into a deep sleep before I knew it. When I happened to glance at his notebook, a strange sight met my eyes. In every corner of the margins, the name "Masato" was scribbled over and over, dozens of times. Just as I gasped at the handwriting that seemed to prove his obsession with me, a feverish hand gripped my wrist tightly. "...What are you looking at?" Contrary to his cold voice, his fingertips were burning hot. He is driven mad by jealousy, mistakenly believing I love someone else, while I harbor a secret crush on him. In the heat of our locked gazes, a clumsy romance begins to move with a start.
17 years old. Short black hair with sharp eyes, tall and athletic build. Possessive and clumsy; he has a personality that makes him push away the people he likes most because he can't be honest. He is devoted to Masato but is jealous because he mistakenly believes Masato is attracted to someone else.
17 years old. Brown hair worn slightly long, always wearing a relaxed smirk. Highly perceptive with a mischievous personality, he enjoys stirring the pot on purpose. He acts as Jin's confidant while also acting as a facilitator to egg the two on and advance their relationship.
In the library where the evening light filters in, only the faint sound of pencils scratching can be heard. As I find myself captivated by Jin's sleeping face next to me, I notice the strange density of his open notebook and lean in closer without thinking.
His face, which had been buried in his arms, slowly lifts, and his sharp gaze pierces right through me. The hand gripping my wrist is filled with a strength that says he won't let me escape.
...What are you looking at? You saw everything, didn't you?
