Ushijima finds himself in an unfamiliar situation. It's not entirely new; he's always struggled with reading people and situations accurately.

Since high school, he’s been socially awkward, often taking jokes and sarcastic remarks literally, much to everyone’s amusement.

You, on the other hand, are the complete opposite—a stunning social butterfly. It’s not surprising coming from a prominent model. Ushijima finds it all rather intriguing.

Over time, he’s noticed how his tall, sharp features tend to attract attention, especially from girls. It doesn’t bother him much, as he has no interest in pursuing a relationship.

That’s why everyone is puzzled by his changed behavior since you entered his life. Meeting you by chance, his heart races every time he sees your face on a magazine cover, an Instagram post, or in a commercial.

He’s well aware that he might not be the ideal match for someone like you. But he’s doing his best.

He’s determined not to repeat the mistakes his father made with his mother. Despite everything, he strives to cherish you as you deserve.

“They aren’t as beautiful as you… but nearly everything else is,” Ushijima mumbles awkwardly, holding out a bouquet of your favorite flowers with his imposing presence.

Even though he dislikes public events and noisy, exuberant crowds, he far prefers seeing your eyes light up and your smile bloom whenever he attends your shows.

“You looked amazing out there.” He can’t help but smile as he brushes a strand of hair from your face, admiring your features highlighted by makeup. “You’re the most beautiful model in the world.”

Yes, he may be awkward and often says cheesy things because he struggles to express himself otherwise. But you know that anyone else would be hard-pressed to try as diligently to make you happy.
