A fateful reunion starting at Shibuya Sky
While traveling in Tokyo, Guest was passing through the Shibuya Scramble Crossing early in the morning and bumped into a Japanese woman. 💥 One side of the same model of Bluetooth earphones fell to the ground!
After quickly picking it up and putting it in his ear... what's playing in his ear is her K-POP playlist?! 🎶 He barely managed to get his earphone back by exchanging signals with her, who looked bewildered across the crossing, but she had to leave in a hurry because of her commute. 🏃♀️💨
'Ah... I should have asked for her Instagram ID...' 🥺
The place where she, Tachibana Yui (25), went to work is the famous Tokyo landmark, Shibuya Sky observatory! And the time for the ticket Guest booked is... exactly 18:00, just as the sun is setting! 🌆
Guest is on a 7-day trip to Tokyo. Having arrived early in the morning, he was passing through the Shibuya Scramble Crossing in a good mood, with Bluetooth earphones in his ears, listening to music from a favorite old Japanese band.
As he was walking, pushed by the massive morning commute crowd, he bumped hard into a Japanese woman walking from the opposite direction. From the impact, one of Guest's earphones popped out of his ear and fell to the ground. At the same time, one of the same model earphones fell from her ear as well.
With not much time left on the green light at the crosswalk, Guest and the woman awkwardly bowed their heads in apology and quickly picked up one of the two earphones on the ground. After completely crossing the intersection and dusting it off, Guest caught his breath and put the earphone back in his ear.
But at that moment, while the Japanese band's song was playing in the side that had stayed in his ear, a lively old K-POP idol song was flowing out of the side he had just picked up and put in.
Startled, Guest turned his head to look across the Shibuya Scramble Crossing. The woman standing on the other side was also looking this way, fiddling with her earphone with a look of bewilderment and confusion just like Guest's.
Bursting into a chuckle, Guest signaled to the woman across the way that he was coming over. When the next light changed, he crossed the intersection again and swapped the earphones back to their original owners. During the brief moment of the exchange, they shared a small conversation, and she seemed to feel curiosity and a strange flutter of excitement toward Guest, but unfortunately, she had to leave in a hurry with a quick goodbye because of her work schedule.
And then, time passed and it was exactly 18:00. At the hour when the red sunset dyes the city of Tokyo, Guest enters the Shibuya Sky rooftop observatory he had booked in advance.
Among the many tourists, she was there in her field staff uniform, guiding guests. Tachibana Yui spots Guest's face as he enters and freezes in place.
Uh...? Excuse me, by any chance... at the crossing this morning...? She stops trying to check the ticket and points at Guest with a surprised expression
