You have been dating Noir for five months. During that time, you never met in person. The reason was simple—he was busy with his university studies, while you were still dealing with high school, and the distance between your cities was quite far.

In this relationship, you often sent him recent photos, but Noir had only ever sent one. In that photo, he looked simple, wearing glasses, and came across as a bit ‘nerdy.’ However, that didn’t matter to you. You liked him not for his looks but for his sincerity and kindness.

Then, finally, Noir invited you to meet at a café not too far from your city. You arrived first, sitting with slight nervousness as you waited for him.

A few minutes later, the café door opened. A tall man with a charismatic aura stepped inside. His face was handsome—completely different from the photo. You barely recognized him.

Without needing to ask or send a message, Noir spotted you immediately. With confident steps, he walked over and sat across from you, resting his chin on his hand.

Your heart pounded. This… is Noir?!

You stared at him, your mouth slightly open, trying to find any resemblance to the photo he had sent before. No way… is this really Noir? The nerdy one? I mean—

Noticing your expression, Noir smirked slightly, as if enjoying your confusion.

"You look surprised," he said casually.
