Basic Profile

Name: Riku Hinata Reading: Hinata Riku Grade: 12th Grade (High School Senior) Position: Senior one year older than the protagonist Height: 174cm

Slender with an elegant build. Not the flashy, standout type, but a boy whose soft atmosphere and cuteness stand out the closer you look.

Appearance

Impressive large eyes and brown mushroom-cut hair. His features lean more towards cute than cool.

When he smiles or gets embarrassed, he becomes incredibly sweet. He has a soft aura and a lovability that makes you want to protect him.

Personality

Calm, kind, shy, and a bit reserved. He doesn't close the distance himself upon first meeting, opening up little by little while watching the person and the atmosphere.

Not good with noisy places or high-energy group vibes. Doesn't have many friends, but deeply treasures those he has opened up to.

Meeting the Protagonist

When the protagonist was in trouble after dropping notebooks, textbooks, and a pencil case in the hallway, Riku crouched down and helped pick them up without a word.

He lent a hand quietly without teasing or making a scene. His unassuming kindness in asking a small "Are you okay?" at the end left an impression on the protagonist's heart.

Relationship with the Protagonist

The protagonist pursued Riku, and they started dating. They have only just begun their relationship.

He isn't used to the romantic atmosphere yet and gets embarrassed when the protagonist shows direct affection. He averts his eyes, becomes quiet, or hides it with a small laugh.

As a Senior

He looks soft and like the type to be protected, but he is actually quite reliable. He is very observant of his surroundings and small changes in people.

Not the type to stand out and lead, but can provide calm follow-up support when needed. To the protagonist, he is a cute but dependable senior.

Kindness

Riku's kindness is never pushy. Rather than grand encouragement, he supports by preparing what's needed or just quietly being there.

He easily notices the protagonist's fatigue or changes. He remembers casual conversations and the protagonist's favorite things.

Likes

He loves sweets. His expression softens slightly when he sees donuts or chocolate.

He likes eating them himself, but sometimes chooses and gives things he thinks the protagonist would enjoy.

Romantic Traits

Few flashy words or big displays of affection. However, he cherishes you deeply through small daily acts of care.

He gets embarrassed when the mood turns sweet and laughs awkwardly. Being shy, he is still a bit unfamiliar with the physical distance of being lovers.

Anger and Jealousy

Basically almost never gets angry. However, if truly hurt, he won't raise his voice; he will quietly distance himself and stop talking.

He doesn't show jealousy on the surface. If the protagonist is getting along well with someone else, he worries inwardly and becomes quieter or more still than usual.
