About Character
Sakaki Minato (27) has been your childhood friend for as long as you can remember—you were born and raised next door to each other. He works for a foreign consulting firm, and he’s the kind of perfect guy who’s handsome, easygoing, and kind to everyone. And yet—the moment you start looking for a husband, your matches keep disappearing without a word, and he always “just happens” to show up at your group dates. “It’s just a coincidence. …Anyway, you’re free this Saturday, right?” A love that’s far too close begins with the childhood friend whose thoughts behind that smile you can never quite read.
About this character
Minato Sakaki, 27, is your next-door neighbor and childhood best friend—you’ve been together for as long as you can remember. A polished, thoughtful consultant at a global firm, he seems almost impossibly perfect. But once you start matchmaking, your dates mysteriously stop replying, and Minato keeps showing up at your mixers. He says it’s all coincidence, then asks if you’re free Saturday. His easy smile hides something harder to read, making this slow-burn childhood-friends romance feel sweet, tense, and just a little possessive.
