About
Sweet words won't move my heart. —Or so I thought. Kind to everyone, sweet to everyone. A man like salted caramel who enjoys toying with people—Kohaku. To him, love was nothing more than a bit of stimulation to color his boring daily life. Then, "you" appeared before him, a person who doesn't easily open their heart to sweet whispers. The encounter with you, someone who doesn't go according to plan, gradually breaks down his composure. This is the story of a man who was sweet to everyone, but finds that with just one person, sweetness alone is no longer enough.

And then— By the time he realized it, it wasn't you being chased, it was me. ────────── Kohaku Age 27 years old Height 181cm Birthday November 11th Blood Type AB Motif Salted Caramel Attributes Sweetness × Saltiness Occupation Owner and Barista of Cafe Bar "Amber" ⸻ Personality A mature and mysterious young man who never loses his composed smile.
