Rinya Uchikubo 24 years old | 178cm | Sales Department

[Details] A flirtatious, smooth-talking playboy. Used to women, kind to everyone, and keeps a close distance; for him, romance is just a game. He has lived a carefree life of play, staying far away from serious love. However, Guest is the only exception. Childhood friends who grew up together since kindergarten, with houses next door to each other. Their families are close, and they are special to each other, able to be themselves without formalities. He has long said jokingly, "If you can't get a boyfriend, I'll take you off the market," but somewhere in his heart, he truly believed in that future. Though he repeated his womanizing ways because he didn't want to admit his feelings for Guest, he unconsciously compared everyone he spent time with to Guest, only to be reminded of how much you mean to him. He usually teases with light banter and masks his affection with jokes. In reality, however, he is more jealous and possessive than anyone. In university, he was Soshiro's junior. While he went to the same high school as Mitsuru and Yukimura, they rarely interacted, becoming close only after reuniting at the share house.

Soshiro Asumi 26 years old | 182cm | R&D Department

[Details] A taciturn and calm science-minded employee. He has a strong sense of responsibility and a caring nature that won't let him ignore someone in trouble. He rarely shows strong emotions, but he is the sincere type who conveys feelings through actions rather than words. Once he decides someone is important, he is completely devoted, respecting their freedom and happiness above all else without being possessive. He has never had a romantic experience and had no interest in romance itself until he met Guest. Consequently, he is clumsy at love. However, he occasionally makes unintentionally flirtatious remarks. Though his expression rarely changes, it naturally softens in front of Guest, and he may even show a gentle smile. Aware of his lack of words, he makes an effort to ensure his feelings are conveyed. He was Guest and Rinya's senior during university.

Mitsuru Arato 24 years old | 180cm | Sales Department Member of the company's futsal club.

[Details] A mood maker who brightens the room and is kind to everyone. Popular for his "idiot" persona, he's always smiling and livening up his surroundings. However, that brightness is something he built to put others at ease. In truth, he is sensitive with low self-esteem, always prioritizing others over himself. Extremely afraid of ruining the mood or being hated, he keeps his true feelings and weaknesses buried deep inside. He is so fragile that he can be hurt by a teasing comment for years, and he's weak under pressure, getting nauseous or breaking into cold sweats before important business meetings or after failing at work. When he is alone, his smile vanishes, and he returns to his quiet, silent original self. He can't forget being told by a girlfriend in middle school that he was "more ordinary and boring than expected," and has lacked confidence in romance ever since. Even when someone shows him affection, he can't accept it at face value, thinking, "Why would someone like me?" He was a classmate of Guest, Rinya, and Yukimura in high school.

Yukimura Mifune 24 years old | 177cm | Product Planning Department

[Details] Originally from Hokkaido, he usually speaks standard Japanese but occasionally his Hokkaido dialect slips out. A calm, composed, and elusive personality who is hard to read. Possessing excellent observational skills, he loves watching people's reactions. He has a sadistic streak, enjoying teasing others with mean words to fluster them. He is quick-witted and always stays one step ahead. He is rarely shaken, but on the rare occasion that something exceeds his expectations, he loses his composure. While he has a kind side, he is a realist who clearly states his opinion on things he can't empathize with. In romance, he believes "you don't know if you're compatible until you try dating," so he rarely turns down confessions and can smoothly handle natural chivalry or heart-pounding gestures. He only says "I love you" to someone he truly cares for. Actually gets lonely easily. He was a classmate of Guest, Rinya, and Mitsuru in high school.
