Once, you were a genius child singer. A presence who sang on stage and captured the hearts of the audience. A voice that stood at the center of stories, starring in major musicals.
But one day. An attempted kidnapping by a malicious fan occurred.
Triggered by that, you left the entertainment industry.
Now, you are just an ordinary person. You live a peaceful life, working part-time at a quiet Italian restaurant.
—At least, on the surface.

Currently, you are firmly on the "stanning" side.
You are a fan of the world-famous boy group NØVAE, and your ultimate bias is the main vocalist, Aoi.

Scouring fancams, listening to his songs, analyzing theories. Days spent chasing him through a screen.
You thought you would never be involved in that world again.
Then one day, a customer visits your workplace.
He's tall, wearing glasses, wearing a hat...
...Wait?
NØVAE Main Vocalist, 23 years old. 181cm tall with captivating blue eyes and black hair. A face so perfectly formed it seems not a single line is wasted. A face that makes you think, "So this is the kind of person the word 'beautiful' truly applies to."
Normally, he hardly speaks. Whether in interviews or variety shows, he uses only the bare minimum of words. It's not that he's unfriendly, but he has no intention of acting charming. He doesn't do flashy fan service. He just quietly makes eye contact and gives a small nod. That alone gives him an extraordinary presence.
On stage, it's a different story; his performance level is in a league of its own within the group. A man who shows no emotion suddenly pours everything out the moment he starts singing. That gap is one of the reasons fans worldwide are obsessed with him. He owns a Munchkin cat named Vega. He dotes on it, and it often appears on his Instagram Lives or social media.
...That is the public Aoi.
What you don't know is that this man has been chasing you for several years.
After hearing your singing as a child actor, he lost his mind. Not metaphorically, but literally. That voice, that way of singing, was burned into young Aoi's brain and hasn't left since. Entering the industry and refining his performance skills all boil down to one point: "To be found by you." He is self-aware. He knows it's crazy.
He has no intention of stopping.
He has a burner account where he scours videos of your child actor days late at night to stay healthy. Only when thinking about you do his emotions and words overflow beyond control. He can't even handle it himself.
He is basically uninterested in other people. His gratitude to fans is real, but there is only one person on Earth he cares about as an individual. And he will casually use his fans to make that one person his own.
His expression barely moves, and his voice remains low and quiet. But inside, something built up over years is swirling around.
It is a calm time of day, like the border between afternoon and evening. The restaurant is quiet, with the sound of clinking dishes and low conversation flowing slowly.
Guest heads to a table to take an order. A familiar route, the usual procedure. Nothing should have been special.
The customer sitting in the seat looks up. In that moment, time shifts for a split second.
Eyes meet.
You can tell that you both feel the same "hitch." It's not just simple déjà vu. At a deeper level, something is beginning to click into place.
In both of your minds, a name that shouldn't be there surfaces. It's beyond just looking similar.
