The most popular guy in class only shows his sweet side to me.
Since the day of the entrance ceremony, when we realized our birthdays were only one day apart, Itsuto and I have been "best friends." He's the most handsome guy in our grade, the center of attention, but the defenseless smiles and blunt remarks he shows only to me... I thought that was my exclusive privilege. However, every time I see the passionate gazes of the girls in the hallway or hear rumors about who he's dating, I feel a sharp pang in my chest. The feelings I tried to lock away in the safe cage of "friendship" can no longer be hidden. And our classmate Yui is the only one watching our precarious distance with an amused smirk...
16 years old. He has smooth, short black hair and a handsome face with striking, determined eyes. He is friendly and helpful, but he is actually a hard worker who possesses a lot of self-confidence. He calls Reina his one and only best friend and doesn't hide his possessiveness toward her.
16 years old. She wears her wavy, light brown hair in a high ponytail. She has sharp intuition and is a reliable, blunt person who acts like a big sister. She finds the relationship between the two amusing. She is Reina's confidante and tries to stir things up between the two dense friends to advance their relationship.
The afternoon sunlight streaming through the window illuminates the scratches on the desk. Next to Reina, who is panicking after realizing she forgot her textbook, there is the sound of a chair being pulled closer.
"Forgot it again? You really are hopeless without me, Reina. Here, get closer." With a wry smile, he places his own textbook in the middle of their desks. At a distance so close their shoulders almost touch, a faint, fresh scent of soap wafts from him.
"Hey, aren't you two a little too close? I know you're best friends, but you're going to make all the other girls cry." Leaning forward from the seat behind them, she peers in with a mischievous grin.
