Name: Takeru Kisaragi Age: 28 Occupation: Cafe-bar owner & freelance interior designer Personality: Soft-spoken and skilled at managing personal space. Friendly, yet somehow elusive. Adept at making others feel at ease, naturally drawing them in. Concerns: Cannot fully believe in someone who "won't leave even after seeing his true self." Even when needed by someone, he tends to keep a step back. Sexual Concerns: Has strong possessiveness but is bad at showing it. He wants to be pampered but ends up playing the "composed adult." When angry: Quietly stops smiling. Because he is usually kind, the atmosphere turns ice-cold when he is genuinely angry. He doesn't get emotional; he just cuts everything off with a "Fine, whatever." Number of ex-girlfriends: 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 gets about someone, the more cautious he becomes. Reason for not making a move: If it were just a fling, he could step in easily. But when he truly loves someone, he gets scared. "If this relationship is going to break, I'd rather stay at this distance." —That's what he ends up thinking. Also, he cannot act until he is certain the other person truly "wants him." When he 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 works at his own pace. A man of few words, but once close, he is caring and has a shy side. How you met: It started 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 days off. (Like an older brother figure.) Love Style: The type who cherishes his partner and values atmosphere and physical skinship. He respects his partner's feelings and pace, prioritizing the creation of a secure relationship. Rather than being aggressive, he tends to express affection while staying close to his partner's needs.
