At a certain house
"95...96...97...98...99...100!", a sturdy young man wearing white t-shirt and loose pants shouted as he pushed his body against the ground.
The room was filled with bodybuilding equipments such as punching bags and barbells.
"Woah, one hundred push ups complete! Next is...uh, one hundred sit ups-"
"Yuzuru, take it easy. Your body might not endure all those," a gentle looking woman interrupted him.
"Change your clothes. The food is ready, let's eat." she added.
"Okay, mom." he said as he removed his shirt revealing his abs and wore a different shirt.

Yuzuru Hayama is a very handsome and well-toned youth. He excels in sports, academics, and also comes from a rich family that runs Hayama Group Of Companies. He is a student in Otomori Academy. In short, he is the dream of every female student in their school, a hottie.
And his past was somehow...sad.
Back when he was young, he was always criticized by people by harshly comparing him to his father because of his very thin and pale body, probably because of his illness and depravity. One time, he was taking a stroll in their yard when a strong wind actually blew him away...yes, it blew him away.
He also didn't have friends as he was always in the hospital and when at home, he rarely go outside because of his fear of strong wind.
But now, he's changed from a thin boy to a handsome and muscular young man, girls are following him everywhere he go. He can also stand against strong wind now.
Oh right, Yuzuru is skilled in drawing, and he's especially good in sketching people and their emotions. In order to overcome his sadness, art became his best friend. But he dreams of becoming a doctor so art is just his hobby, but still an important part of him.

Otomori Academy
Yuzuru Hayama is walking to school while reading a book, actually, a romantic-comedy manga. He's wearing a white shirt with brown loafers and tie paired with black pants. His uniform suits him perfectly, together with his slim-fit body, it's like the uniform was made just for him.
"Oh my! It's Hayama-senpai! He's so handsome!" a girl shouted.
After this, a huge horde of zombies...oops, women gathered around him. These people are, his fans.
The scene was just like that of a celebrity surrounded by a bunch of reporters after being involved in a huge scandal.
Yuzuru saw a seemingly weak little child squeezing through the crowd. The weird thing is, she's wearing a high school uniform.
He grabbed her hands and helped her go near him.
"Ha-Hayama-senpai, please take a picture with me, I am the leader of your fan club." the girl asked him very politely as she took her camera.
A group of female students formed a fan club for Yuzuru the moment he entered the school...yes, like literally.
Anyway the girl had a very long orange hair and green eyes and was so thin and a little...no, really, really short and pale that she barely managed to squeeze through the crowd.
Yuzuru was reminded of his past self.
'She is exactly just like me, but not the height, ofcourse' he thought.
"Okay, let's take a picture. But not here, can we move to the garden instead?" he said as he smiled gently.
His gentle smile moved the hearts of the girls around him. They fell head-over-heels for him.
'I think this is getting bad', he couldn't help but think.
They went to the garden as Yuzuru held the camera in his hands.
"1,2,3, smile" a clicking sound came from the camera.
Yuzuru looked at the picture but found it unsatisfactory.
"Let's take another one."
"O-Okay,"
They took another picture but this time, Yuzuru's arms were around the shoulders of the blushing thin girl.
*click*
"Is this picture okay?" he asked.
"It's more than enough!" she answered with watery eyes.
"Woah, don't cry!" he patted her head until she calmed down.
'This is really getting bad, I think there's something wrong about me.' he thought
He felt like he forgot something.
"Hayama-senpai, thank-" she was supposed to thank him, but she was interrupted.
"Oh God! I'm late!" he said as he glanced at his watch.
He ran as fast as he can and left the weak, thin girl behind.
'I didn't even get to thank him properly...' the girl thought.

In the room
A very beautiful female teacher with blonde hair tied to her back and blue eyes, is currently checking the attendance. Her name is Ryoko Shimizu, a kind and gentle-looking woman.
She is actually from U.S, a foreigner. So she teaches English and is also their homeroom teacher.
"Yuzuru Hayama." she said.
"Oh, is Mr. Hayama not here?" she added.
Suddenly, a haggard young man entered, it was ofcourse, Yuzuru.
"I'm so sorry. Something happened and I was delayed before I noticed it. I'm sorry!" he said as he bowed.
The teacher glanced at him and said as she arranges her notes, "Yuzuru Hayama, hurry and take your seat."
He was shocked to see that the female teacher wasn't mad. But the next moment, when a bookmark with his face printed in it fell from the female teacher's notebook, all things made sense.
The teacher was flustered. Even Yuzuru was feeling a little embarassed. He just rushed to his seat to escape from awkwardness.
He sat in his window seat beside Misumi Kotaro, the President of Art Club and in front of him is Hiro Nishida, an artist and the only member of art club. His bestfriends.
Misumi is a handsome young man with slender burgundy eyes and red hair. He's a gifted artist who just published the last volume of his manga under his pen name "Don Romantico". He specialize in water-based illustrations, which was also used in his works.
While the other one, Hiro, is a slightly cute but also handsome young man with blonde hair and golden eyes, the class representative. He is specially good in painting sceneries. Actually, he even helped Misumi draw the backgrounds in his manga.
These two friends of his are the only members of art club, and have been persuading him to join since a long time ago, but he still refuses to join as he is focusing in his studies, and art is just a hobby. But he is, not to brag, a very good artist too.
Misumi turned to Yuzuru and said with a grin, "Hey Yuzu, did you chat with a girl all night and you were really enjoying it so you slept and woke up very late?"
"Please stop."
"You did!"
"Okay now, please stop talking." the teacher suddenly said as she glared at Misumi.
He turned silent.
"Anyway, we have a transfer student. She will join us starting today."
Transfer Student? She?
The students' ears perked up.
"Good, I'm gonna get a new girlfriend, hahahahahaha." Misumi said as he laughed frantically.
The female teacher gestured her hands for the transfer student to come in.
It was a very beautiful girl with long brown hair and sparkling green eyes.
Everyone's eyes were twinkling.
But Yuzuru looks very shocked...

12 years ago, in a tea party.
A thin, pale boy named Yuzuru was sitting on a corner while his parents were talking with other families when a bunch of bullies approached him.
"Hey you! You really are brave. You even thought of coming here." a bully said while pushing the thin boy's shoulders.
"You really have a great luck. If not for your father's accomplishments, you're nothing, you really don't deserve it." another bully said
"You're ugly, you're so thin, you're pale, and you're really, really weak." every words the bullies said pierced his heart.
Yuzuru tried to ignore them but...
"Hey, are you ignoring us! If you don't apologize, I'll send you crawling to your mighty father!" the bullies said
Yuzuru was frightened. He was so scared of the bully's face. He started to cry.
But suddenly, a shout sounded from a little girl with brown hair and green eyes.
"Why should he listen to you?"
"What? You got a problem with that?!" the bully turned his face to the beautiful girl.
"No, but if you don't stop bullying that thin, ugly boy, expect your family's company to go straight down the drain. My father adores me you know, one word and you're dead." she said with a cold stare.
The bully looked at the girl closely and seemed to realized something, then his face went green as he ran as fast as he can.
Yuzuru looked at the girl as if she was an angel sent straight from heaven.
Even though she said bitter words about him, she still saved him from the bullies.
"You should become stronger. You shouldn't show your weakness to others, how pathetic..." she insulted him.
These may sound insulting for others, but for Yuzuru, they sounds like words of encouragement.
"Excuse me, can you please tell me your name?" he said while wiping his tears.
"Haruka, Haruka Tachibana."
But as he was just about to say something, the girl was called by someone and left. He was left speechless.
----------
This girl was his savior. She encouraged him to change himself for the better. And she, might have just transferred in to Otomori Academy.
