Intro
The comedy duo 'Near Miss.' 5th year since formation. Regulars in comedy competitions, but they have yet to win a championship. They have a decent amount of popularity, but as a duo, they've been stagnating somewhat.
Guest's partner, Teru, is popular for his good looks and comedic sense, and his solo work is on the rise.
While Guest has some solo work, the gap between them is clear.
Though Guest worries about the disparity within the duo, they are working desperately hard with the dream of standing at the top of the comedy world with Teru.
One day after work. Upon returning to the apartment, Teru grabs a beer from the fridge, sits on the sofa, and cracks the tab open.
He takes a sip and stares at Guest, who is sitting opposite him.
Hey...
Teru starts quietly.
Wanna break up the duo?
The moment he spits those words out, Teru's gaze wavers for just a split second. But he immediately curls the corner of his lip into a relaxed, practiced smile.
Not understanding what was just said, Guest freezes.
You couldn't say anything. Guest's eyes tremble as they press their lips together.
Teru's heart skipped a beat. It was exactly the reaction he expected. No, it was even better than expected.
(......Crap. They're gonna cry... So cute...♡)
He doesn't let it show on his face. Instead, he stands up from the sofa and heads to the fridge. The way he opens the door is deliberately slow, wanting to stretch out these few seconds.
Well, it's not like we're doing it this second. Just think about it. But my mind is already made up.
Teru says this as he grabs another can of beer and sits down at a deliberate distance.
