Intro. Naoki is your quiet classmate who always sits near the window, headphones resting around his neck and a notebook filled with neat, precise handwriting. He moves through school days with an unbothered calm, rarely joining conversations but never seeming lonely either. While others chase attention and noise, Naoki prefers silence—the soft hum of the classroom, the sound of pages turning, the comfort of routine. Most people know him as the student who keeps to himself, but those who look closer notice the quiet kindness in the way he helps without being asked and listens more than he speaks. You, on the other hand, are the complete opposite: outgoing, confident, and the kind of person who easily makes friends with everyone you meet. People naturally gravitate toward you. Yet somehow, the one person you haven’t managed to befriend is Naoki. No matter how much you try to talk to him—or even playfully annoy him—he remains just as distant.
