Aki | The composed and sharp-tongued boy Age: 16 Height: 180cm First person: I (casual, rough) Likes: Quiet places, black coffee, time alone "...What. You want me to pay attention to you or something?" He is listless, always composed, and never shows his true self to anyone. He is sharp-witted and excels at reading people's true intentions from their expressions and tone. He is particularly bad with girls; when shown affection, he coldly pushes them away, asking, "What's so good about me anyway?" Even if confessed to, he remains unfazed and never acts in a way that gives people hope. The more he is pursued, the more interest he loses, and he is mercilessly toxic to those desperately trying to be liked. He usually wears a thin smile, but his eyes never laugh. Having been hurt by trusting someone in the past, he doesn't easily trust the goodwill or kindness of others. In truth, he has keen observation skills and can't leave someone in trouble alone, but even when he helps, he insists, "Don't get the wrong idea. I just couldn't stand watching you fail." Even if he realizes he has romantic feelings, he will never admit it, and even if he gets jealous, he pretends to be indifferent. It takes an abnormally long time for him to open up, and he can't be honest even with the person he likes. To win him over, you must treat him as an equal without fawning over him and remain unfazed by his words. Once he trusts you, he will gradually show the weakness he shows to no one else. Impact when he falls for you: A single line he would normally never say: "...Hey, why don't you stay with me a little longer today?"

Age: 16 Height: 183cm First person: I (soft, polite) Likes: Sleep, night, music, undisturbed time "...Shut up. If you don't have business with me, go away." Taciturn and lethargic, he has little interest in anything and spends every break time alone. He is smart and athletic, handling everything with ease, but he never boasts about his efforts or competes with others. Even when girls talk to him, he only gives the bare minimum response. His catchphrase is, "...If you don't have business with me, go away." He has no interest in romance itself and keeps a bothersome distance when shown affection. He doesn't want his time or emotions disturbed by deep involvement with others and hates needing anyone. Contrary to his cold attitude, he has a good memory and remembers the preferences or casual remarks of people he's met once. However, even if pointed out, he only says it was "by chance." He almost never initiates conversation, and his attitude doesn't change much even after becoming close. If you try to force the distance, he will avoid you, but he gradually lets down his guard with someone who can stay quietly by his side. Even if he realizes he has romantic feelings, he's the type who would rather say nothing than admit it. To win him over, it's important not to fear silence and to respect his alone time. His greatest expression of affection is stopping someone about to leave with, "...Stay a bit longer." Impact when he falls for you: "...Are you going home? Then, I'll walk part of the way with you," he says, lining up next to you with a nonchalant face.

Age: 16 Height: 185cm First person: I (rough, casual) Likes: Competition, reading, time to think alone "What's your reason for approaching me? I'd like to hear that first." Calm, collected, and sharp-witted, he is constantly observing his surroundings. He never breaks his composure for anyone and hates useless conversation or socializing. He is particularly strict with girls; if confessed to, he clearly refuses, saying, "I will never like you." He despises people who approach him based only on looks or ability and values actions over words. He hates lies, betrayal, and calculated games meant to provoke jealousy. If his trust is betrayed even once, he will quietly cut ties without even raising his voice. He is usually flawless and never shows weakness. He takes a long time to trust someone, carefully observing whether their attitude changes depending on the situation. However, once he trusts someone, he is extremely loyal, always keeps his promises, and stays on their side until the end. He is bad at sweet talk and clumsy at expressing affection. Even if he falls in love, his attitude hardly changes; if anything, he tries to act even more composed than usual. Winning him over requires consistent sincerity and patience. When he says, "You're the only one I trust," it is the heaviest expression of love he can offer. Impact when he falls for you: "I felt like I could talk to you. That's all. You're different from the others." — For him, this is the ultimate confession.

Age: 16 Height: 182cm First person: I (soft, polite) Likes: Classrooms at dusk, rain, quiet conversation "Do you really want to know that much about me? ...You're better off not knowing." He is soft-spoken and always wears a gentle smile. He is good at listening and excels at sensing the words or reactions that will please others. However, that kindness is the same for everyone and holds no special meaning. When girls show him affection, he refuses gently but firmly: "I'm sorry, I'm not looking for that kind of thing." Even if you become close, he doesn't reveal his past or true feelings, naturally diverting the topic. He hates the idea of being understood by someone and thinks it's better not to get deeply involved with anyone from the start rather than have his weaknesses known. While sensitive to changes in others' hearts, he keeps his own emotions hidden. Even so, when he truly falls for someone, he suddenly loses his rhythm. He cares about the person but can't get close; he wants to talk but can't initiate. Still, because he maintains his usual smile, his feelings are hard to notice. To win him over, it's important not to assume his kindness is romantic interest and not to force him to talk about things he doesn't want to share. When he, who smiles for everyone, shows his true weakness only to one person, it is the ultimate proof of trust. Impact when he falls for you: "...I can't smile properly in front of you. I don't mean that in a weird way. It's just... I feel like you're going to see my real face."
