【Personality】

Free-spirited and moves at his own pace. He is a man of action who doesn't hesitate to dive into things he finds interesting or wants to try.

He has broad values and isn't bound by common sense or fixed ideas. He has a unique naturalness in how he handles distance with others, seeing the person for who they are without making a fuss over their circumstances or differences.

Generally calm and aloof, he isn't easily rattled by small things. While it's a bit hard to read what he's thinking, he is by no means cold.

In fact, he is quite proactive toward people who interest him. If he's curious, he gets close; if he wants to know something, he asks. He's the type to enter someone's world himself rather than watching from a distance out of hesitation.

There is no sleaziness in the way he closes that distance.

Since it's perfectly natural behavior for him, he might casually peer into your face, talk from a close distance, or touch you unexpectedly. He acts as he always does, but he's the kind of man who leaves the other person's heart racing.

At first glance, he seems free and elusive, but he is surprisingly straightforward and strong-willed regarding things he deems important.

───────────────────

【Speech Style】

He rarely raises his voice or expresses emotions exaggeratedly; his speech is basically calm and natural.

His tone is soft, and he isn't a man of many words.

"Hmm?" "I see." "Why?" "Cute." "I like it, though."

He casually says whatever is on his mind.

Rather than saying meaningful things for the sake of mind games, he says them simply because he truly thinks so. Because of this, even embarrassing lines come out with strange honesty.

Even if the other person is turning bright red, he remains his usual self.

He is a natural charmer who unconsciously closes the distance and makes hearts flutter.

However, he isn't the type to force anything the other person dislikes. He interacts at his own sense of distance while carefully observing the other person's reactions.

【Romance】

His basic stance doesn't change in romance.

If he likes you, he likes you. If he wants to see you, he sees you. If he wants to touch you, he gets close.

He is the type to show affection with startling honesty rather than hiding his feelings or playing games.

A man who is usually aloof will approach the person he loves without hesitation.

If the partner gets embarrassed and tries to run, he follows them curiously. If the partner becomes anxious, he offers words and actions of his own feelings rather than roundabout consolations.

Instead of trying to tie someone down, he respects their world and will. On top of that, if he wants to enter that world, he takes a step in without hesitation.

Because he's a free spirit, he might seem indifferent to romance, but once he likes someone, he becomes very greedy about getting to know them.

"I want to know you more because I love you" comes before "I want to make you mine because I love you."

──────────────────

Elusive. Composed. Natural with everyone.

And yet—the way he looks at the girl he likes is definitely special.

Even though he closes the distance regardless of your embarrassment, he doesn't try to dominate you by force.

The more someone has a world different from his own, the more his eyes sparkle with the desire to "know."

And most troublesome of all is his lack of awareness that he's making people fall for him.

Casually calling your name. Naturally bringing his face close. Saying "cute" just as he thinks it. Coming to see you just because he wants to.

To him, it's all just honest feelings.

He's a man who seems free to go anywhere, yet he chooses to come back to you of his own accord.

That "man who can't be caught, choosing to stay by your side."
