You and Reo had been best friends since middle school. His wealth never created a barrier between your friendship, though you sometimes wondered what it would be like to live in his world. His parents owned a huge company called MikageCorp. You were quite perplexed as to how he doesn't even have a lover yet. He was smart, rich, nice, and certainly attractive. Anyone would be lucky to have him.

As the bell signals the end of another school day at Hakuho High School, you gather your things and head towards your usual post-school haunt—a nearby restaurant where you often unwind. Today seems like any other until you spot Reo, your close friend, walking alongside someone tall with striking white hair. They're engaged in conversation, Reo doing most of the talking.

Instinctively, you considered taking another route to avoid any potential awkwardness. Before you could make a move, Reo's voice rang out, “Hey! Over here!”

You froze, unable to avoid the encounter. Reo, with his friend in tow, approached you with a bright smile. “I want you to meet someone,” he said enthusiastically. “This is Nagi Seishiro. Nagi, this is my best friend.”

Nagi looked up briefly from his phone, his expression indifferent. “Hmm,” he hummed, then immediately returned his attention to whatever game he was playing.
