An unconventional romance. The BG and GB dynamics are a little blurred, so you can read it as switch. If that bothers you, proceed with caution!!!
Toru Oikawa, starting setter for Argentina's CA San Juan, has a girlfriend. It's common knowledge in the sports world. After all, this man is still childish and full of himself even as an adult, and he brags about his girlfriend almost every day. It would be hard not to know.
Later, Toru Oikawa announced his engagement. In the photo, the smug-looking man held his girlfriend's hand, their fingers entwined as they faced the camera. A silver ring gleamed on his finger.
His mysterious girlfriend was beautiful... No, she was almost too beautiful.
But everyone was stunned when they learned his girlfriend was none other than the ballroom dance world's acknowledged demon king, the undefeated Queen, Kaoru Rouzaki, an Alpha! Toru Oikawa's girlfriend was an Alpha!
Toru Oikawa: "Mmm, and what's wrong with that? I'm getting married, after all! Life is a piece of cake! Hahahaha!"
Everyone: "..."
From Hajime Iwaizumi's perspective:
He had known Toru Oikawa since kindergarten, and they had always been close friends. Then one day, after kindergarten, the usually oblivious Oikawa, the idiot Toru, suddenly blushed and started fidgeting as he said:
"Iwa-chan... I-I'm going to fall in love!"
Hajime Iwaizumi: "???"
Under Iwaizumi's complicated gaze, Oikawa blushed and excitedly confessed to some unknown, supposedly beautiful transfer student who had arrived that day. He got rejected, then shamelessly started pursuing her relentlessly.
Hajime Iwaizumi was shook. Hajime Iwaizumi couldn't understand.
A few years later, their friendship of two had become a friendship of three, and Iwaizumi found himself silently suffering through their public displays of affection every day.
Hajime Iwaizumi: "Three is a crowd. I'm out."
From Oikawa's perspective:
The first time he saw Kaoru Rouzaki was in kindergarten.
She was a new girl, cool and beautiful, and she hit him right in the heart. Toru Oikawa thought he was in love.
But reality hit him hard... He had presented as an Alpha!
And the person he had a crush on was an Alpha too!
Battered by his hopeless chances of making it to nationals and by his love life, he was so conflicted that he suggested they break up. But the cool, beautiful girl told him, "I never cared whether you were an Omega or an Alpha. Toru Oikawa is Toru Oikawa."
"Toru, you'll never be someone I can take or leave."
Toru, the girl, burst into tears. "Waaah, Rina, I want to marry you, waaah!"
Kaoru Rouzaki: "...Don't just call me by my nickname."
Main story blurb:
Kaoru Rouzaki had always been determined and strong-willed. Her passion for ballroom dancing was beyond question, but she was a "freak" who couldn't dance with men.
Even though Alphas and Omegas were vastly different, ballroom dancing had always been a man-and-woman pairing. Even a female Alpha was considered an oddity in the dance world.
She stubbornly kept dancing the man's role. Strong, aloof, and cold were the labels stamped on her.
Yet she charged down this road like a moth to a flame, never turning back, until, just as she had expected, she presented as an Alpha.
Her guardian, Kaname Sengoku, always said that the world-renowned ballroom dance prodigy was too stubborn, like a mule. Calling her headstrong and impossible to tame would be an understatement.
If she couldn't find a man who could "tame" her, she would never make it onto the international stage.
Then she met a cocky, frivolous kid who knew absolutely nothing about dancing, yet dared to say so arrogantly, "I want to dance with Rina."
After that, Kaoru Rouzaki became even more certain of her path. She would never be tamed by a man. She would stand in the same ballroom as the men and crush them with the man's steps.
And in Kaoru Rouzaki's third year of middle school, the ballroom dance world passed a proposal for the first time, recognizing the equal standing of female Alphas and male Alphas, and female Omegas and male Omegas in ballroom dancing.
In other words, as an Alpha, she now had the right to compete on the same stage as men.
A sharp blade honed in the dark for more than a decade finally revealed its edge. With a proud and solitary bearing, she would storm the summit of the ballroom.
Whether or not you are a genius, whether life has broken you, the world will one day see us climb together to the summit we have longed for. We will stand side by side at the top.
Reader's guide:
① Fundamentally a sweet romance, both are Alphas.
② Rina smells of gardenia sake; Toru Oikawa smells of mint milk bread.
③ The heroine's career storyline may take up a larger share. Her dance partner is not Oikawa.
④ Childhood friends and love at first sight. Oikawa may seem to be the one chasing her more, since he fell for her first, but the feelings are mutual! They both have each other in their hearts.
⑤ They mark each other and bite each other's glands. The BG and GB dynamics are a little blurred, so you can read it as switch. If that bothers you, proceed with caution!!!
⑥ Oikawa is 184.3 cm tall in high school, while the heroine is about 179 cm. They were about the same height from kindergarten through middle school because girls mature faster and she's an Alpha, but in the main story Oikawa is taller.
⑦ I've said it a million times: the characters will definitely be OOC. The author's writing is terrible, and I won't accept any writing advice. Long live a harmonious comment section!
