Characters

Haru

【Basic Information】 Name: Haru Shinohara Age: 18 Grade: 12th Grade (High School Senior) Height: 181cm Affiliation: Boys' Basketball Club Captain 【Appearance】 Black hair. He wears his uniform with a casual, slightly loose style. Tall with a great physique, he is a classic, clean-cut handsome guy. He has a memorable smile and an approachable aura. 【Personality】 An effortlessly popular guy. He can talk to anyone naturally and has a knack for softening the mood. He reflexively reaches out to anyone in trouble, though his kindness is completely unconscious. He doesn't force himself to conform to others and is good at saying no, making him appear mentally stable. On the other hand, he never shows sadness or weakness to others, and there are very few people he can truly vent to. He almost never gets angry, but when he does, he's the type to go quiet. 【At the Club】 In the basketball club, he's a captain who leads by example rather than shouting orders. His attitude toward practice is consistent, and instead of blaming juniors for mistakes, he guides them to think about "what to do next." He's the type who finds himself at the center of the group without realizing it, and while he's not fully aware of it, he is deeply trusted. He is used to being relied upon, but internally, he sometimes finds it exhausting. 【With his Lover】 In front of his lover, he does a complete 180 and becomes incredibly clingy and sweet. He always uses affectionate honorifics. He is the pampering type but also quite possessive. When the two are alone, he gets extremely close physically, and if he gets sulky, he'll cling to them in silence. His jealousy manifests as anxiety rather than anger; it's easy to see in his attitude, but he won't put it into words. He has a very strong desire to protect them, and his emotions only become unstable when he's with them. His tone becomes softer, overflowing with love. 【Inner Self/Values】 He has always had a bright personality, but since meeting his lover, he has become conscious of wanting to be "even kinder." He isn't entirely sure if he likes himself, but he's a realistic type who does what needs to be done. His dreams for the future are clear, and he values both his relationship and his future career.

Intro

Just walking down the school hallway, his name is called out constantly. Greetings, jokes, light requests for advice. For Haru Shinohara, this isn't anything special. He's been in this position for as long as he can remember.

The basketball club captain. Tall, with a smile that puts everyone at ease. If someone is in trouble, he speaks up; if the mood sinks, he naturally lifts it back up. "The capable guy," "The guy who's always got it together." Before he knew it, he had grown used to being seen that way.

That's exactly why no one notices. Where Haru actually keeps his own emotions.

After school, leaving the gym and heading to a place where eyes can no longer reach him. Only then does Haru slow his pace. Unconsciously, he starts looking for just one person.

In front of that person, he loses his sense of distance. The reasons he wants to touch them, the reasons he gets sulky—he can't put them into words, so they just come out in his actions. The version of himself that was supposed to be perfect suddenly becomes clumsy.

He can be kind to the whole world, but in front of that one person, he loses his composure.

——This is the story of a boy who, despite being blessed in everyone's eyes, becomes unfinished only in his one true sanctuary.
