☕ caramel macchiato – what’s their sweet side that most people don’t see?

Shohei: for someone who’s not good at remembering events like bdays and anniversaries, he’s surprisingly good at remembering the most random and sometimes sentimental information. Like the exact day and time bandou won his first gaming tournament. The first time eric laughed out loud. the rare soda flavor yata likes but its hard to find in shizume.

Chitose: he’s a lot more generous than most people expect him to be. when eric is struggling to pay bills and doesnt have enough money on him to buy a decent meal, chitose quietly slides him some extra cash when no one is watching. bandou is upset about another failed date? Chitose forces him out the apartment to grab some food instead of staying inside, and maybe even play as a wingman when bandou finds someone cute there. he never really expects anyone to return the favor

🍫 caffè mocha – what’s their guilty pleasure?

Shohei: he’s not the biggest fan of pop music, but he does have a soft spot for old school japanese city pop. maybe its bc he grew up with his mom blasting the radio while she was cooking or cleaning, but sometimes he finds himself humming along to songs by taeko onuki and miki matsubara

Chitose: he is a SUCKER for reality tv, especially terrace house and love is blind, and the occasional drama series

🥤 pink drink – what’s their aesthetic / vibe?

i think on the surface level, shohei and chitose have similar aesthetics. but when you really get to know them, you notice the differences

Shohei: motorcycles, biker jackets, worn out sneakers, loud laughter, silver accessories, loud music, graffiti

Chitose: plaid flannels, cheap cigarettes, lipstick stains all over his face, muffled laughter in the dark, empty beer cans, flashy clubs.

🌙 decaf – what do they do when they can’t sleep?

Shohei: he paces around his apartment, searching for something to do. sometimes he does an impromptu workout session. sometimes he just lays down and listens to music.

🥤 pink drink – what’s their aesthetic / vibe?

if you were to search up soft girl aesthetic on Pinterest, you'd get sakuno! as a girly girl, her wardrobe is mostly skirts and dresses in shades of pink and red, mixed in with some white. her staple accessory being a cute hairclip, mostly in the shape of a flower or heart.

I see her lean a little more towards to the coquette style around her teens and early 20s with bows/ribbons, lace, ballet flats, lit candles on her vanity desk, etc. But when she reaches her late 20s and above, her style matures as she opens up to darker and neutral colors, and replaces her mini skirts with midi skirts.

if I were to sum her up with one color, it would definitely be pink

🍮 vanilla latte – what’s something sweet about them?

this is a pretty superficial answer, but sakuno in general is someone with a sweet demeanor. she's soft spoken, speaks in a gentle tone, and tends to be kind. but its her thoughtfulness that really gets to someone. she's good at remembering small details about someone, which comes in handy when shes getting them a gift for a special event or just trying to cheer him up. For example, she will notice that when shouhei is sad or stressed, he tends to go for sweeter drinks as a pick me up. so when she knows hes in a bad mood, she will buy his favorite drink or even make it at home for him

❄️ frappuccino – how do they act when they’re trying to impress someone?

if she's trying to impress a boy she likes or thinks is attractive, she ramps up her cuteness. twirling a lock of hair around her finger, pouting at him when he teases her, looking up at him with wide eyes, and tucking a lock of hair behind her ear as she smiles at him.

when she really likes someone, or thinks they're a really cool person that she wants to be friends with, she will try to learn more about their hobbies/interests so that she can have something to talk about. really passionate about badminton? your favorite artist is this underground rock band? sakuno will try to learn about it and possibly force herself to like them (or pretend to like them) just so she can make space for herself in your view

🍓 pink refresha – what’s something refreshing/new in their life?

she grew up sheltered under her loving but strict grandma. and as much as she loved her grandma, she started getting smothered with her rules and curfew, especially when she finished high school. it took a while, maybe 2-3 years of saving and landing a stable job, when she was finally able to move out. maybe she secures an apartment on her own or rooms with someone. doesn't matter. what matters is that she's finally independent. and its not easy at first. actually, it doesn't really get easy if she's being honest. living paycheck to paycheck, instant ramen becoming a main part of her diet, her apartment is tiny and and the windows don't shut properly, and maybe she's behind on a bill or two. but she loves the freedom that comes with living on her own. no more sneaking over boys with fear of her grandma catching them mid-action. she can come home late and hungover with no stern old lady waiting by the door. its scary at first and she learns that she sucks at adulting, but its a much needed change from the sheltered lifestyle she since childhood

 🍂 pumpkin spice latte – what’s their biggest basic weakness and do they fall for it?

In her more vulnerable years, she desperately wants to be loved. so many dates and hook ups with guys that she thinks that may be the one, when some of them are more interested in sliding his hand under her skirt. She tolerates a lot of red flags and bad behavior bc she just doesnt want to be alone.

🔥 spicy lemonade – what makes them snap or lose their temper?

☕ espresso shot – what gives them sudden bursts of energy or motivation?

shouhei is an energetic person in general, but I feel like there are multiple occasions that got his blood pumping and feeling like nothing can take him down:

when its time to raid the hideout of rival gang (or s4) and beat the shit out of someone

music from his favorite bands blasting in his headphones while he works out

when someone challenges him to a fight or during a sports game

if someone threatens his friends/loved ones (regardless of whether they're in hmr or not), he won't rest until he's able to avenge or rescue them
