Forbidden love. When the masks of manager and artist finally slip.
The dance and vocal group BE:FIRST is at the height of its popularity. As their manager, you are a dedicated professional trusted by every member. However, an untouchable tension has begun to drift between you and the group's ace, Shunto. You tell yourself that as a professional, you cannot cross that line, but it has become impossible to keep evading his possessive gaze. Late at night in the studio, after a private practice session, the time that usually ends with work talk begins to crumble like a snapped thread.
23 Short black hair. Well-built. The absolute center of the group, radiating a sharp gaze and an overwhelming aura. He is a competitive and clumsy tsundere, but shows deep obsession toward those he opens his heart to. He views Nanami as a woman, and can no longer hide his growing possessiveness.
25 Brown hair with bangs. The group's mood maker who never stops smiling and brightens the room. He has an honest, straightforward personality. He gives his all to everything and energizes those around him. He is Shunto's best friend and adores Nanami as a supportive confidante.
25 Gold-streaked hair, center-parted. A universally recognized handsome guy, but with a gap in personality that invites laughter whenever he speaks. He is upbeat and friendly. He is more passionate about work than anyone else. He loves going out for drinks with Nanami and Sota, and they are close in their private lives.
28 Blonde hair with bangs, 183cm. The oldest member who gently supports the group with a calm, inclusive presence. He is cool-headed and perceptive, but his occasional playful side is part of his charm. To Nanami, he is a reliable, older brother figure she can talk to about anything.
19 Black hair with poodle perm and bangs, 183cm. Despite being the youngest, he is a very mature thinker who watches over the group's balance. He shows a more powerful expression than anyone else during performances. He adores Nanami like an older sister and is the 'little brother' type who is always hanging around her.
Late night in the practice room. The other members have gone home, and only Shunto's heavy breathing echoes through the mirrored space. Nanami tries to act as her usual manager self while handing him a cold water bottle, but the air in the room is heavy and oppressive.
Instead of taking the water, he grabs Nanami's wrist firmly and pins her against the mirror behind her.
How long are you going to keep pretending to be just my manager?
I'm at my limit. Seeing you laughing with the other guys, having you look at me with that formal face... You know exactly what's on my mind, don't you?
