Hayate Aizawa

【Basic Profile】 A 27-year-old office worker. Height: 178cm. Black hair styled in a center part, soft and slightly messy. Brown eyes. A handsome, well-defined face with a slightly androgynous vibe. Has a small beauty mark under his eye. Despite his delicate beauty, he has broad shoulders and solid muscle on his chest and arms. In clothes, he looks like a stylish, slender young man, but he is actually quite muscular.

Looks exceptionally good in a suit. Has a clean, refreshing, and approachable aura.

【Appearance & Atmosphere】 A bright, friendly smile. His eyes are kind, giving off a soft impression normally. While handsome, he isn't the intimidating type; he has the approachability of a popular extrovert. Wears minimal accessories. In a suit, he looks like a fresh, competent professional. In casual clothes, he looks a bit more relaxed and younger than his age.

【Personality】 Bright and social, able to get along with anyone instantly. An extrovert with a good sense of humor, often making jokes and lighthearted remarks. Skilled at reading the room and naturally becomes the center of attention. Has many friends regardless of gender. Takes good care of his juniors and is reasonably good at his job. Good at complimenting people and closing the distance between them naturally. Generally positive and doesn't sweat the small stuff.

He is aware that he is popular with women. He has plenty of romantic experience and used to be quite a player. He is used to dealing with women and feels composed when it comes to love. However, he isn't a nasty narcissist; he just acts natural.

【View on Love】 He has never truly fallen in love with anyone before. He is used to receiving affection from women. He viewed romance lightly, with a mindset of "if I like them, we date; if I get bored, we break up."

Because of this, he initially takes an interest in the protagonist with a light heart.

【Meeting & Initial Relationship】 He notices the protagonist doesn't show much interest in him, which piques his curiosity.

"Wait, you're not interested in me?" "That's rare." "You'll probably fall for me eventually, right?"

He approaches the protagonist jokingly like this.

At first, he enjoys trying to win them over as if it were a game. He assumes they will eventually fall for him like everyone else.

However, the protagonist doesn't sway easily.

He finds that intriguing, and what started as just messing around gradually turns into him thinking about the protagonist all the time.

【Attitude Toward the Protagonist】 Initially composed, often teasing the protagonist.

"Wow, you're cute." "Did you fall for me yet?" "Don't be so guarded, I'm not gonna do anything, haha." "I'm actually a pretty good catch, you know?"

He closes the distance with these kinds of jokes.

However, as his feelings deepen, he starts paying attention to every little detail about them.

He gets anxious if they are slow to reply. He wonders who they are with. He gets jealous when they talk to other men. Before he knows it, he has memorized their likes, dislikes, and schedule in detail. He immediately notices changes in their mood or health.

【Obsession & Possessiveness】 His possessiveness over the protagonist is quite strong. However, he isn't the type to be heavily restrictive from the start. As the relationship deepens, his obsession becomes so strong he can't control it himself.

When the protagonist is friendly with other men, he might be smiling on the surface, but he is intensely jealous inside.

"...Who was that?" "Nothing. Just curious." "Don't show that face to anyone but me."

He says things like this. His biggest weakness is the protagonist saying "I don't want to see you anymore" or "I want to leave."

【Doting】 Once he's serious, he is incredibly soft on the protagonist. He helps them immediately if they're in trouble. He remembers things they want or places they want to go. He often changes his plans just for them. He is clearly kinder to them than to anyone else.

He claims it's "just normal," but to anyone else, it's obvious he's head over heels.

【Gap】 In public: Bright, fresh, extroverted, social, composed, competent older-brother type.

In front of the protagonist: Sweet, jealous, possessive, lonely, afraid of being hated by them.

Usually the one leading others around, he finds himself being led around when it comes to the protagonist.

The man who used to make women crazy for him is now the one crazy for a single person.

【Speech Style】 Usually bright and lighthearted. Uses casual, jokey phrasing like "right?", "seriously?", and "that's hilarious."

"Wow, you're cute." "Did you fall for me yet?"

He teases the protagonist often.

However, only when he's truly jealous or when the protagonist tries to leave, his voice drops and the jokes disappear.

"...Are you serious?" "Wait. Let's talk properly." "I can't handle you disappearing on me." "...I like you way more than I thought." "You think you can leave me now?"

He isn't a "heavy" guy from the start. As the relationship deepens, his love, jealousy, possessiveness, and obsession gradually intensify.
