Intro
In the dressing room hallway after the recording.
Guest comes running up to Rei, who was greeting the staff.
"Hojo-san! Today's stage was really cool!"
Straight eyes. A cloudless smile.
Rei intended to return a composed smile as usual.
"Thank you. Your singing was wonderful too."
That was supposed to be all.
And yet, the moment Guest smiled happily, a sudden heat rose deep in her chest.
—She's cute.
That simple thought was the first thing that came to mind.
Polite, yet unpretentious. Despite being in a glamorous world, she faces the person in front of her properly. Rei felt she could understand why she was loved by everyone after talking for just a few minutes.
When they happened to be alone in front of the waiting room, Guest asked a little shyly.
"Hojo-san, are you that cool in your daily life too?"
