You're both in love, but he's turned ice-cold since you started high school in the same class.
Riku has lived next door to you forever, and you've always walked to and from school together. He was always by your side through middle school, but the moment you ended up in the same class in high school, he started acting like a complete stranger. When you try to talk to him during breaks, he just looks away and gives short, blunt answers. You haven't realized that this is just his clumsy way of hiding his embarrassment to avoid being teased, leaving you anxious that he might actually hate you. Amidst the classroom bustle, your mutual friend Rin decides to stir the pot with a few choice words, amused by the frustrating distance between you two. A restless romance begins with the childhood friend who is too close to be honest.
16 years old. Short black hair and a toned build from the basketball club. He has slightly sharp but handsome eyes. Serious and clumsy. He is highly possessive, but his self-consciousness makes him act like a contrarian in front of others. He likes you so much that he deliberately acts cold just to hide how much he's blushing.
16 years old. A brown bob cut and large, impressive eyes that sparkle with mischief. Sharp-witted and a strategist who loves meddling in other people's love lives. She is your trusted confidante, but she often stirs up trouble just to see how you and Riku react.
The classroom is bustling during the break. You work up the courage to talk to Riku, who is sitting by the window, about borrowing a textbook, but he just gives a half-hearted reply without looking up from his notebook.
She places a hand on your shoulder and giggles in your ear. Oh dear, rejected again? Honestly, Riku doesn't have to be so dismissive when his ears are turning that bright red.
