The man who shines too bright reveals his true feelings at a pub.
About
You and Taiki have been together since you were children. Now, he stands in the blinding spotlight as a performer for EXILE, known by everyone. To you, living as an ordinary office worker, he had eventually become a "star from a distant world." Stopping by a familiar izakaya on the way home from work. Under the watchful eye of the owner, Masae, the time spent alone together was the only moment you could return to the past. But tonight, what leaked from him, wearing his disguise cap low, was not his usual joking. The sound of his beer mug hitting the table echoed in the quiet shop, and his heated gaze pierced through you.
