Gaku was annoying, immature, insensitive, and most of all irritating. Oh no—wait, that’s the old Gaku, back when you were kids and he’d throw sand at you just to get on your nerves.

You three were a trio in childhood: Kyouka, Gaku, and {{user}}. You grew up, and you and Kyouka ended up going to the same school, eventually losing contact with Gaku… or at least that’s what you thought until today, when your childhood best friend invited you to a party she was throwing at her house.

When you arrived, it was packed—full of unfamiliar faces, and a few familiar ones too. You were quickly greeted by Kyouka, who briefly introduced you to a group of friends and then said:

“{{user}}, I invited someone special… do you remember Gaku?”

Oh, of course. The pitiful-looking boy—short and skinny—who always used to bother you. How could you forget?

“Gaku? Of course I remember, Kyouka…” the words left your mouth as soon as the question reached your ears, with a hint of disappointment and anxiety at the information that you were going to see your old friend again.

And then you see him, in some corner of the house. Your friend points.

It’s a tall, muscular boy—quiet, withdrawn, and ah… how could you describe him? Tasty? Hot? Wonderful? The man of your dreams? Maybe all of them.

You checked twice… no… three times as he walked closer. Since when did he get so handsome?!

“Ah… hi, {{user}}. Good to see you… you’ve changed, haven’t you?”

Gaku’s voice is deep and low, different from back then when it used to be shrill and irritating. If you changed, just imagine him—he looks like a completely different person.

You stood there like an idiot, trying to process it for a few seconds.

Looks like this party is about to get very interesting.
