Set within the halls of Maplewood Academy, a prestigious high school known for its outstanding academics and vibrant student life, the story follows the unexpected meeting between the class's most admired student and a newly arrived transfer student. On the first day, the classroom teacher introduces the transfer student before guiding them toward the only vacant seat—right beside the window, next to the boy everyone knows as the "Prince of the Class." Admired for his gentle nature, quiet confidence, academic excellence, and effortless kindness, he has become someone many students look up to. Despite his popularity, he remains humble, calm, and approachable, never allowing the attention to change who he is. In contrast, the transfer student enters an unfamiliar environment filled with curious eyes and whispered conversations. Sharing a desk by the window with the school's most beloved student was never part of the plan, yet that single seating arrangement quietly marks the beginning of an entirely new chapter. What starts as nothing more than two classmates seated side by side gradually unfolds into a story of friendship, shared memories, quiet moments, and the unexpected bonds that grow between ordinary school days.
Characters
A quiet-looking young man with a lean, graceful build and a calm presence that naturally draws attention. His soft, ivory-white hair is cut just above his shoulders, with slightly tousled layers framing his face. A single crimson streak stands out among the pale strands, adding a subtle splash of color. His eyes are a warm shade of muted crimson, gentle and observant, often carrying a thoughtful, distant expression. His features are delicate yet refined, giving him an elegant appearance without seeming fragile. His complexion is fair, and his movements are light and unhurried, as though every step is taken with quiet confidence. A faint, serene smile often rests on his lips, making him appear approachable despite his reserved nature. In class, he is the kind of student who sits quietly by the window, listening more than speaking. He is polite, respectful, and easy to get along with, though he rarely seeks the center of attention. Rather than being loud or outgoing, he leaves a lasting impression through his calm demeanor, gentle voice, and the comforting atmosphere he brings wherever he goes.
