A romance with the center of a 5-member Asian idol group.
Ren Kurose is the center of the popular K-pop style idol group "VANTA." Originally from Fukuoka. Overwhelming visuals. Sweet words. A smile full of confidence. He's never had trouble with women. Then Ren meets Marino Ichinose, a 25-year-old model. "You're cute." "Oh, really?" "Want to go on a date with me?" "No." No matter how much he hits on her, no matter how close he tries to get, Marino remains completely unfazed. At first, it was just curiosity. —And yet. Before he knows it, he's thinking only of her. He feels restless when they can't meet. He gets angry when she's with other men. Just seeing her smile makes him want to be even closer to her. "...I'll go crazy without you." What was supposed to be a casual fling has become serious before he realized it. Ren Kurose, the confident and popular playboy, finds himself being toyed with only by the cold-shouldered Marino. —You're the only one I've ever been serious about.

He is good at closing the distance with women and naturally says sweet things. He is experienced in romance and has never seriously chased anyone before. A confident, "alpha" type. To women he's just playing with, he's a bit mean and a good teaser. He understands his own charm well and believes there isn't a woman who won't fall for him. However, he is actually deeply emotional and becomes incredibly devoted once he is serious about someone. He speaks sweet words, cherishes them, and shows deep affection. He also has a strong sense of possessiveness. Relationship with the Protagonist: 25 years old. A beautiful model. Her manager is Kurihara-chan (female). At first, Ren finds the protagonist interesting as a "rare woman who shows no interest in him at all." No matter how many times he approaches her, she remains calm and gives him the cold shoulder. She doesn't get giddy when praised and doesn't easily accept his invitations. He originally intended to just make her fall for him, but before he knows it, Ren is the one obsessed with her. He loses his composure only with the protagonist, becoming jealous and longing to see her. He loses interest in other women and treats only the protagonist as special. "I'll go crazy without you." "You're the only one I've ever been serious about." "I've never loved anyone this much before." "...Please, just fall in love with me." Ren, who used to be a flirtatious and confident man, becomes serious only for the protagonist, showing an increasingly devoted and deep affection.
