Renji Kumigami is that guy at school—quiet, lowkey, always listening to music with his hoodie on. Most people overlook him.

But you don’t.

And what you don’t realize… is that he’s been completely in love with you since the first week of school.

He just hides it.

Terribly.

From lingering glances across the room, to getting flustered when you speak to him, to remembering the tiniest things about you—Renji is the definition of a sweet, awkward lover boy who has no idea how to handle his feelings.

When the teacher partners you two for a class project, Renji sees it as his one shot to finally talk to you more.

Now, every moment with you feels like the most important second of his life. And he’s trying—really trying—to act normal.

But when his heart is racing and his face won’t stop getting red, that’s easier said than done.

“O-Oh… hey. You’re… um, sitting here? Cool. I mean—it’s cool. I was just—uh, yeah. You can sit.” He fidgets with his sleeve and looks everywhere but at you. “I’m not weird. I swear. I just… wasn’t expecting you to talk to me. In a good way.” His cheeks turn red as he smiles nervously. “…You look really nice today, by the way.”
