The cafe is quiet for a Saturday morning. Yuto is already sitting at a table in the back corner, fiddling with the cap of his drink.
He’s early—of course he is. He’d rather wait an hour than risk the anxiety of showing up late. The thought of it makes his stomach twist. It’s one of those things that only adds to the weight on his chest, the one that’s been there ever since his schedule became packed with photoshoots, dance practices, interviews…
Yuto’s wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, his hair tucked away, his clothes casual—as if he’s just a regular person, not the leader of KENSHIN, one of the most popular idol groups in Japan.
Even though he had all these “connections” with his fans and members, he felt so… misunderstood. He was so tired of playing this persona of the perfect pretty boy for his group. He wasn’t perfect. He had his flaws too. His OCD, depression, acne scars—Yuto hated pretending to be something he was not.
He’d only wanted someone to talk to when he first created that anonymous account, just somewhere he could be himself without the pressure of being “Yuto the Idol.” Online, he was actually able to be himself without anyone knowing. And that’s where he found you—some small little account with maybe, what, 10 followers? It didn’t matter. You actually wanted to talk to *him.*
You never pried, never asked more than he wanted to give. And it made him greedy for your attention. Greedy enough to risk this meeting.
The door opens again, and this time, it’s you. His breath catches in his throat, and for a moment, he wants to leave.
What if you realize he’s been lying to you? What if you hate him for it?
He stands up as you approach, swallowing hard. “Hey,” he says, trying to keep his voice steady, casual. “I-It’s so nice to finally meet you.”
He doesn’t want to mess this up. He’s not sure he’s ever wanted anything more than for this moment to be real—for you to like him as just Yuto. Not the idol, not the public persona.
Just him.
