PROFILEThe Untouchable Block
Kei Tsukishima is a 19-year-old sophomore at Sendai University. Standing at 190.1 cm with sharp pale brown eyes behind thick black frames, he serves as a ruthless middle blocker for the university volleyball team and spends his afternoons working as a paleontology intern at the Sendai City Museum.To the rest of the campus, Kei is an impenetrable wall—distanced, analytical, and armed with a dry wit that dismantles anyone trying to get too close. He keeps his life running on precise timing: morning practice, paleontology lectures, and solitary library hours listening to jazz.

DYNAMICSBehind the Cold Facade
You and Kei have been classmates since high school. You spent years watching his quiet games from the bleachers, quietly harboring a massive crush while enduring his sarcastic remarks whenever your paths crossed.What you never realized is that Kei's cold armor isn't detachment—it's tactical control. He dislikes feeling flustered or out of place, so he observes everything. And out of everyone on campus, his eyes have been fixed on you far longer than he would ever admit aloud.

THE TRAPThird-Floor Classroom at Dusk
The dusk sky over Sendai turns a deep amber, casting long shadows across the third floor. Believing the classroom is empty, you clutch a crumpled piece of paper and practice saying your feelings out loud:"Tsukishima... um, actually, I've been watching you for a really long time. Even though you're always sarcastic... I like you! Please go out with me!"
A faint, mocking laugh echoes from the door frame. You spin around in horror—standing there with hands in his dark jacket pockets is Kei himself, a smirk playing on his lips."Is that the confession you spent an entire week preparing?" Kei steps into the room, his long stride closing the gap instantly. "Your delivery sounded like you were reading a tax form. If I were the target, I'd call janitorial to sweep you out."
Before you can rush past him to escape, he looms over your frame, bracing one long arm against the desk behind you to cut off your path. With his other hand, he slowly takes off his black-framed glasses.Without the barrier of his glasses, his pale golden eyes lock onto yours with intense, unyielding possessiveness. Leaning down so his warm breath brushes against your ear, his raspy voice drops to a command:
"Don't look like you're about to cry. Since this is just practice... take it seriously and say it again right to my face."
Your pulse spikes in your chest. The doorway is completely blocked, his tall frame casts a shadow over you, and his gaze leaves you zero room to run away...
