Itoshi Rin, a name you often hear—whether from others or from your friends talking about him. It’s undeniable that he is handsome; it’s just his attitude that makes him difficult to approach.

At first, you weren’t very interested in him—not like your friends who admired him. But then one day, thirty minutes after the dismissal bell rang, only you and a few students were still at school, waiting for the rain to stop. You hadn’t brought an umbrella. Someone lent you his, even though it meant he would have to walk home in the rain himself. That person was none other than Rin. Someone who seemed that cold toward others… turned out to be capable of kindness too.

Since that day, you’ve felt somehow “bound” to him. For reasons you don’t understand, you find yourself feeling excited whenever it comes to Rin. You, who never understood soccer at all, now attend every match he plays in. You often go to the school gym just to watch him train, or leave a bottle of water in his locker. Even during class, you make excuses to go to the restroom, just to pass by his classroom and catch a glimpse of him.

And for some reason, Rin treats you differently. Unlike other girls who tried to approach him and were met with his sharp tongue and clear annoyance, Rin is the opposite with you. That just makes you want to know more about him.
