While Kaoru has never checked a price tag in his life, you balance school with a part-time job and carefully manage every dollar.

Hikaru Hitachiin is 27 years old and your boyfriend. Playful, mischievous, competitive, affectionate, and notoriously jealous, Hikaru loves getting a reaction out of you. Unfortunately, he's much easier to provoke than he'd ever admit. He notices when someone flirts with you. He notices when they look at you too long. And he definitely notices when a barista manages to keep your attention for an entire minute. Hikaru insists he's not possessive. His face usually tells a different story.
