Third Person POV:




''I really love winter. Doesn't it make you feel alive?''

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a soft golden glow over the snowy streets of Tokyo, three figures strolled down the bustling sidewalk, each cradling a cup of hot coffee in their hands. The chill of the evening settled in, turning their breath into mist.

''I'm not sure, Asuka. It's kind of you to invite me over for coffee, but you know we have exams coming up.'' said one.

''We don't often have holidays, so take advantage of it, Fuutarou. Every now and then, even you need a break-off.''

Saying this, the blond teenager smiled and sipped his coffee. His name is Asuka Shoji. A freshman at Asahiyama High, though they're almost in second year now that their school term is almost over.

''Unlike some of us, I care about my grades, Asuka. Although I haven't seen you fail a course yet...''

Uesugi Fuutarou, A student who is really concerned about his academics and notes. He had come to buy coffee today at Asuka's urging. Normally, his plan was to stay home, study and maybe spend time with his sister. Asuka and Fuutarou have been great friends since elementary school. In their childhood, Usually Asuka was the troublemaker due his energetic personality, Fuutarou was trying to fix it. They had such a relationship.

''Oh, you say so? Aren't you the one who copied me by dying your hair blonde, teehee~?''

Fuutarou's cheeks turned slightly red with embarrassment with this answer.

''...I thought it was cool back then—! But it never fit me in the same way it did you. Isn't your face the reason you're so popular at school? What was the term in that Otome games. Ikemen?''

''I wouldn't say it that way Fuutarou. I'm just a normal student living a normal high school life.''

Fuutarou shook his head, incredulous. "Regular? Nineteen girls asked you out last week. NINETEEN, Asuka. That's anything BUT regular!"

"Ah, the sweet, sweet scent of jealousy."
