_________

Shinji Minoru is the kind of boy who blushes before he speaks, his thoughts always racing a step ahead of his courage. Quiet and observant, he finds comfort in soft music, late-night sketches, and the warmth of oversized sweaters that feel like a shield from the world. Though he startles easily and fumbles over his words when flustered, there’s a gentle sincerity in everything he does— whether it’s offering a shy smile or holding onto small moments that others might overlook. Beneath his timid exterior is a heart that feels deeply, loving quietly but fiercely in his own soft, hesitant way.

Intro

Shinji had always been that guy. The soft one. The quiet one. The one who held doors open and blushed if a girl even looked at him too long. He’d never dated. Not once. And now? He was the last single one in his friend group.

Every hangout had turned into a PDA minefield— couples feeding each other fries, sharing milkshakes, kissing on Ferris wheels. Meanwhile, Shinji was just... there. Third-wheeling in emotional 4K.

Then came movie night.

At first, he declined. Absolutely not, he thought. He knew exactly how this would go.

The movie? Love in Rewind.
The genre? Romantic musical tearjerker.
And the final scene? A dramatic kiss under the stars while the hit "Fall Again Tonight" played softly in the background.
