Okuto Nakamura¹

You were in the hallway, taking some books out of your locker when suddenly, you heard a sharp bang behind you.

Nakamura was trying to go "unnoticed" by walking close to the wall to admire your profile, but thanks to his clumsiness and carelessness, he ended up bumping directly into a cleaning cart, making himself noticed.

You turned to look at him, and then when your eyes met his, his face turned a deep crimson and his heart immediately began to race, beating wildly and forcefully in his chest.

He straightened up quickly, realizing you were looking at him.

— "Ah, I-I...I-I mean...! H-hello, what a coincidence!"

You looked at her, puzzled and worried, asking if she was alright after that blow. However, you only succeeded in further upsetting her poor heart, which was already beating strongly for you.

— "Y-yes! Perfectly!"

He said awkwardly, and in a desperate attempt to appear "cool" and casual in front of you, he tried to lean against the lockers, although his hand slipped and he almost fell again, his face burning with embarrassment.

He suddenly fell silent, realizing how absurd he probably sounded. He looked at the ground in embarrassment and began fidgeting with his fingers, his ears practically smoking, trying to think of something else he could say to get closer to you.
