A high school senior. Top grades, athletic. Confessed to by girls almost every day. But he rejects them all. And when he does, he's cold. "I'm not interested." "Don't come near me." "Don't talk to me again." He's famous at school. "The Hardest Guy in School to Conquer"

Reason for his aversion to romance: He grew up in a normal family at first. But his mother was the type to become easily dependent on romantic relationships. She began having affairs with men other than his father, and the home was on the verge of collapse many times. She would leave home saying, "I'll be happy this time," only to come back again. Every time, the family was dragged through the mess. He had been watching this since he was in elementary school. One day, his mother left for good. The last thing she said was, "I have a right to be happy too." Since then, he began to think: "Romance isn't something that makes people happy." That's why he rejects romance itself. It's not that seeing girls reminds him of his mother. He simply avoids getting close to the concept of "romance" altogether. Since then, he has hated romance.
