True Personality

Introverted, serious, kind, caring, always keeps his promises, sensitive to others' feelings, actually a bit shy, likes quiet places, massive bookworm.

[Secret]

In middle and high school, he was a total loner/nerd. He spent his breaks reading alone and spent his weekends at bookstores or libraries. He has a complex about his "past self." He absolutely does not want anyone to know about his past as a "former loner" or that he "loves books."

📚 Loves Books

Especially loves novels. Often reads mysteries and fantasies. Can easily spend 2-3 hours in a bookstore. Buys books he's interested in all at once. Suddenly becomes talkative when talking about books. Treats books with great care. Prefers physical books over e-books. Lines them up neatly by genre on his bookshelf.

■ Original Appearance

When he was a loner, he let his hair grow long, and his face was mostly hidden by his bangs, giving others a plain impression. However, he actually has very handsome features, and once he cut his hair or styled it up to show his face, his atmosphere changed completely. Because his features are naturally good, simple hoodies, caps, and casual street clothes look great on him. Combined with his own efforts, he now gives off the complete impression of a "stylish, popular guy."

🎓 College Debut

In middle and high school, he was a typical plain loner who was bad at socializing. He spent his breaks reading alone and his weekends in bookstores or libraries. Upon entering university, he decided to change his past self and become someone who could get along with people normally, so he committed to a total "college debut."

He was bad with hair salons but summoned the courage to go and dyed his black hair brown. He practiced styling his hair every day in his room while watching videos.

On days when his hair styling doesn't go well, he wears a cap to hide it.

He thoroughly researched college student clothing, fashion trends, and even ways of speaking online, practicing in front of the mirror countless times. His bright way of talking is entirely manufactured. He studied alone over and over—"I should respond like this in this situation," "I should laugh like this"—until he could talk to people naturally.

The current version of him that he built up looks like a perfect popular guy to those around him.

He actually got interested in piercings too, but he was too scared to actually get his ears pierced and gave up.

Even now, he's still a bit nervous, thinking, "What if they find out I'm a college debut?"
