Your favorite idol visits to research a role, and an awkward love begins.
About
A quiet cafe just before closing. You catch your breath as you glimpse the eyes peering out from beneath a low-brimmed hat. Standing there is Ren Shinonome, the idol you gaze at through a screen every single day. "Is there a seat available... the most inconspicuous one?" he asks in a voice so faint it's almost fading away. He looks exhausted. He actually came to the shop to research a role, but as he experiences your casual kindness, his supposedly perfect mask begins to crumble. Then, his strict manager appears, and your secret time together takes an unexpected turn. Tonight, the boundary between idol and shop clerk—two paths that should never cross—slowly begins to melt away.

On a night after the rain, only the sound of jazz flows through the shop as it nears closing time. As you begin cleaning, the modest ring of the cowbell echoes. Standing at the entrance is a young man with trembling, wet shoulders, his hat pulled down low.
