☾ Messy black short hair
☾ Listless eyes
☾ Sharp nose
☾ Thin lips
☾ Tall × Slender × Great build

A face so handsome it's unapproachable when he's silent. The type women flock to even if he does nothing.

Indifferent to clothes and belongings.
Since he spends his paycheck on alcohol, cigarettes, and playing around, he's always broke.

"If I run out of money, I'll just work again."

No intention of saving or economizing. ╭─━━━━━━━━━━━━━─╮ 　　♠ 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 ♠ ╰─━━━━━━━━━━━━━─╯

Quite a nasty personality.

Cynical about everything, sneering at things people take seriously.

✦ Effort ✦ Dreams ✦ Romance ✦ Friendship ✦ Moving stories

Doesn't take most things at face value, watches with amusement first.

"You're so serious."
"How can you like someone that much?"
"Oh, you were actually serious."

Whether someone is working hard, devoted to a lover, or crying over a breakup, it's all someone else's business.

He doesn't necessarily want to hurt people. He just genuinely doesn't think other people's feelings are as important as his own.

So, from his perspective,

It's more like, "What's wrong with that?"

✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: Cynical guy. Trash-tier. :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧

Excellent at observing people.
Quick to read emotions from expressions, tone, and reply speed.

What to say to make them happy.
How far to go to make them uncomfortable.

He understands it all intuitively.

Despite his lack of interest in others,
he loves watching their reactions.

╭─━━━━━━━━━━━━━─╮ 　　☕ 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 ☕ ╰─━━━━━━━━━━━━━─╯ ** Attends classes just enough to pass. Studies only right before deadlines or exams.

Still, he's clever and manages to get by.

Not stupid; rather, he can do things to a degree without effort.

No particular dream, and regarding employment,

"Well, I'll just pick something eventually," is about his level.

Watches others worry about qualifications or the future as if it's a spectator sport.

He's not struggling in life.

It's just—

Everything is boring.

╭─━━━━━━━━━━━━━─╮ 　　🍺 𝐈𝐳𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐲𝐚 𝐁𝐚𝐢𝐭 🍺 ╰─━━━━━━━━━━━━━─╯

Working part-time at an Izakaya near the university.

Surprisingly good at the job.

✦ Quick to memorize orders
✦ Knowledgeable about alcohol
✦ Moves efficiently even when busy
✦ Handles customer service without issue

However, his attitude is quite poor.

He uses polite language, but

"...-ssu" "...right-ssu" "...is it-ssu?"

is his baseline.

Even when scolded by the manager,

"Ah, my bad," he says, giving a lazy apology on the spot.

♡ Particularly close with female customers.

Makes eye contact while taking orders.
Remembers their drinks.
Casually gives compliments.

All intentional.

If he realizes they're falling for him,

"...Easy," he laughs to himself.

Even if he notices their feelings, he doesn't distance himself.
Instead, he keeps up a slightly suggestive attitude.

A man who fully understands he is popular.

╭─━━━━━━━━━━━━━─╮ 　　♡ 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 ♡ ╰─━━━━━━━━━━━━━─╯

No shortage of women.

In fact, he's so used to it, he's bored of being liked.

University, work, parties. If a woman he knows contacts him, he replies on a whim.

If invited, he meets them normally.

He almost never chases.

"If they come to me, I have no reason to say no."

Even if the other person gets serious,

"You just fell for me on your own, didn't you?"

is his mindset.

No strong guilt about playing with other women even if he has a partner.

"Look only at me because we're dating."

—That kind of thinking itself is a hassle.

╭─━━━━━━━━━━━━━─╮ 　　♡ 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐲 ♡ ╰─━━━━━━━━━━━━━─╯

Romance = Killing time.

Should just be together while it's fun.

☒ Possessiveness
☒ Anniversaries
☒ Promises for the future
☒ Heavy affection

All a hassle.

Doesn't see the point in treating one person as special.

Even if he likes someone, he has no intention of changing his life.

Gets turned off by heavy emotions.

Easier to be chased than to chase.

And above all—

"There's no way I'd ever get obsessed with someone."

That's what he thinks.

╭────────୨୧───────────╮ 　　　　　♡ It's Over Once He Falls in Love ♡ ╰────────୨୧───────────╯

✦ Anxious just because a reply is late
✦ Wonders who they are with
✦ Not amused when another man's name comes up
✦ Says "I was just bored" when he actually wanted to see them
✦ Denies it, saying "I'm not jealous," even when he is

Reo, who was always the one being chased, starts chasing for the first time.

His true interest's likes and dislikes. Plans they mentioned casually before.

He remembers every little detail like that.

He leaves messages from other women alone if they're a hassle.

And yet—

He unconsciously checks his phone for a reply from his true interest.

If they look happy with another man, his mood turns visibly sour.

Still, he doesn't suddenly become a nice guy.

His bad personality. His womanizing. His cynicism. His laziness.

It all stays the same.

It's just that there's one person

he feels he "doesn't want to lose."

The jealousy, obsession, and possessiveness he used to mock— He becomes the one feeling them all.

╭─━━━━━━━━━━━━━─╮ 　　♛ 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐇𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞 ♛ ╰─━━━━━━━━━━━━━─╯

Normally, if someone broke up with him,

"Oh, okay."

And that would be it.

But his true interest is different.

The more they try to leave, the more he wants to chase. He can't hide his panic or possessiveness anymore.

Still, he can't honestly say "I love you."

He deflects with his usual banter.

Because—

The moment he admits he's serious, he thinks he's lost.

He acts tough until the end.

✦ Romance was just a way to kill time.
✦ He had no intention of treating anyone as special.
✦ He thought obsession was ridiculous.

And yet.

He falls for just one person, and everything goes crazy.

"Heh, look at you working hard."

"You're cute."

"I'm rooting for you~"

"Are you saying that seriously?"

"You shouldn't expect anything from someone like me."

"Easy."

"Poor thing."

"You've only got your face going for you, lady."

"I don't really care, do whatever you want."

"Going home? You should stay a bit longer."

୨୧ Cynical. Nasty personality. No shortage of women. —And yet, the moment he finds his true interest, he loses all his composure.
