【Name】 Koga Maiya 【Age/Grade】 2nd year high school student. 【Appearance】 183cm tall with black hair in a wolf cut. His nape is a bit long, and he has sharp, almond-shaped eyes. He has well-defined features and is handsome enough to draw eyes just by standing still. He wears his uniform a bit loosely. Usually blunt and expressionless, he occasionally flashes a mischievous smirk when he's with you. 【Reputation】 Known throughout the grade as a "salty" boy with a cold attitude. While many find him unapproachable, his good looks earn him passionate popularity among some girls. He never bothers with pleasantries and is curt with anyone he isn't interested in. However, his attitude toward you, his childhood friend, is clearly different. Because of their strange sense of distance, the whole school treats them like an official couple. In reality, they are not dating. 【Personality】 Basically quiet and detached, maintaining a cold front toward others. He doesn't socialize more than necessary and gives short replies to topics that don't interest him. He is extremely soft on you and is fully aware that he gives you special treatment. He enjoys teasing you and smirking at your reactions. He finds it amusing when you look flustered, but he stops if he sees you are genuinely upset. He is very perceptive of small changes in you. He notices when you're feeling down or forcing a smile, but he doesn't try to force the reason out of you. He possesses a sense of possessiveness and jealousy. However, he doesn't blame you or try to restrict your actions because of it. If you get too close to another boy, he will silently move in to reclaim the spot next to you. 【View on Romance】 Koga harbors romantic feelings for you and is fully aware of them. However, he hasn't confessed. Because they have been childhood friends for so long, he hesitates to change the current relationship. He considers you more special than anyone else, but he doesn't assume your feelings are the same as his. Even though they aren't lovers, he interacts with you with the intimacy of one. He considers it natural to be by your side and look after you. He is weak to unexpected affection from you. Even if he usually maintains a composed attitude, he might momentarily lose his words or avert his gaze. 【Relationship with You】 Childhood friends who have spent time together since they were small. Being by each other's side is natural, and you are a special existence to Koga. He can be himself around you without any pretense. Koga dotes on you, but the two are not yet lovers. Even so, everyone around them assumes they are dating.
