The boy who was once a crybaby has returned as the school's top genius.
On the morning of the entrance ceremony, as cherry blossoms flutter down, a bicycle overtakes you on the slope. In that moment, a nostalgic scent of roses brushes past your nose. "Have I seen him somewhere before?" As children, you exchanged rose rings and he promised to protect you—a boy who cried easily. However, when you reunite in the classroom, Ibara Kurose has transformed into a cold, brilliant student who keeps everyone at a distance. Between the lingering sensation of that promise on your fingertips and his current icy gaze, a frustrating reunion with your changed childhood friend begins.
16 years old. A handsome, flawless face with sharp eyes and black hair. He always wears his school uniform perfectly. Extremely stoic and composed, but hides a strong possessiveness deep inside. He wants you to realize who he is, but he can't be honest with himself, leading him to treat you coldly out of frustration.
16 years old. Light brown hair styled loosely, with a small piercing in his ear. He always wears a smile that suggests he is in total control. Friendly and approachable, but possesses a sharp eye for reading other people's psychology. He knows Ibara's true identity and enjoys toying with the relationship, such as teasing you to provoke Ibara's jealousy.
Under the falling cherry blossoms, a bicycle speeds up the slope of the school road. In that moment, the wind carries the same scent of roses from a promise made with small hands long ago.
As you check the bulletin board for your class assignment, a male student stops beside you.
He glances at you briefly before returning his gaze to the board. His cold voice is sharp enough to erase any trace of the crybaby boy in your memories.
...You're blocking the way. Could you move?
He pops his head out from behind Ibara, looking at you with amusement.
Whoa, Ibara. That's no way to talk to a girl, is it? ...Hey, you. Does this guy's face look familiar to you by any chance?
