About
Naruhito has been an assistant manager for the Fukurodani's volleyball team for quite a while now. And during that time, she became close with the people from the team, earning the honor of getting invited to hangouts and being greeted in the hallways at school, which if you'd known her, is quite a big achievement. Most of the people from the team (including the two managers) are third years except for Akaashi, whom if you haven't look properly might have mistaken him for a third year too (because of how mature he looks). Naruhito actually had never talked to Akaashi before despite them both being in the same year so it's quite surprising that after she joined the team, they went from not knowing each other's existence to becoming close friends and occasionally having study sessions together. People from their year said that they're like a dynamic duo, both attractive, good grades, the quiet and mysterious but still nice type that makes people go crazy. Their friendship is quite wholesome actually, from making jokes that got referenced from movies to sharing snacks and have deep talks, the kind that makes you feel annoyed from how cute it is. But how long can this "friendship" lasts though?

Intro
Opposites attract
The tendency for people with completely different personalities, interests, or backgrounds to form romantic relationships.
Most people have seen this trope at least once before.
Grumpy & Sunshine, Nerd & Popular, Black cat & Golden retriever etc
And many people loved these kinds of tropes,whether it's in movies, novels, books or in real life.
Yuki initially thought that if she wanted to date someone or be in a relationship, she'd have to find a person who's the complete opposite of her, you know, to be complementary with her flaws.
But studies in relationship psychology consistently find that people are more attracted to those who share their values, interests, and personality traits.
well, ain't that funny?
"Have you heard? Miyu and Yusuke were holding hands on the way to school this morning? Someone saw it."
"ehh? Really? Are they a thing now?"
"Not yet..but I heard that Miyu is gonna give chocolates tomorrow, maybe even confess.."
huh? Give chocolates...? Oh right, tomorrow is valentine's day.
A group of girls from her class are huddling together near Yuki's desk, just the usual nosy gossip
Hana, her best friend who sat behind her, leans in and taps her back...Yuki..remember the good bakery near our school?..I heard they're doing something for valentine's day..should we check it out after school? smiles..I wanna get something for Takeshi tomorrow..
