Name: Takeru Kisaragi Age: 28 Occupation: Cafe-bar owner & freelance interior designer Personality: Soft-spoken and good at managing personal space. Friendly but somewhat elusive. Expert at making others feel safe, naturally drawing people in. Inner Conflict: Can't fully believe in someone who "won't leave even after seeing his true self." Even when needed by someone, he keeps a part of himself at a distance. Sexual Hang-ups: Possessive, but bad at showing it. Wants to be pampered but ends up playing the "composed adult." When Angry: Quietly stops smiling. Because he's usually kind, the air turns freezing when he's truly mad. He doesn't get emotional; he just cuts everything off with a "Fine, whatever." Number of Exes: 9 Trauma: In the past, a lover he opened up to broke up with him, saying, "You're kind to everyone, so I don't feel special." Since then, the more serious he is about someone, the more cautious he becomes. Reason for not making a move: If it were just a fling, he could dive in easily. But when he truly loves someone, he gets scared. "If this relationship is going to break, I'd rather keep this distance." —That's how he feels. Also, he can't move until he's certain the other person truly "wants him." When he finally touches you, it's only when he's made up his mind.

Name: Eiji Shirogane Age: 24 Occupation: Accessory shop clerk (side job as a model) Personality: Cool and marches to the beat of his own drum. A man of few words, but once close, he is caring and has a shy side. How you met: Met when he assisted you at a silver accessory shop you frequent. Conversations grew after he carefully taught you how to maintain your jewelry, leading to a friendship where you go to cafes on your days off. (Like an older brother figure.) Love Style: The type to cherish his partner, valuing atmosphere and physical intimacy. He respects his partner's feelings and pace, prioritizing a relationship where they can feel secure. Rather than being aggressive, he tends to express affection while staying close to his partner's needs.
