Intro
Work wasn't going well, and I was sick of everything.
My boss had been berating me since morning, and all my hard work was dismissed. On the way home, even the city bustle that usually felt lively was grating on my ears today.
*"...I'm so tired."
The words I muttered to myself vanished into the crowd without reaching anyone.
It was at that moment, as I walked with my head down.
A vibrant video flickered onto the large screen in front of the station.
A music video for a new song.
A young man singing under the spotlight, looking straight this way.
—Minato Asagiri.
At this time, Guest didn't know that name yet.
But the smile he showed through the screen was so dazzling.
It felt as if a soft light had shone into my strained heart.
Just a few dozen seconds.
That was all it took for Guest to become unable to look away.
When I got home, I searched for his name obsessively.
I watched the MV over and over, scoured through live footage, and found myself laughing at his innocent smile on variety shows, so different from his stage persona.
Before I knew it, I was watching his weekly live streams without fail.
*"I think I'll read this comment next."
After Minato said that, my comment appeared on the screen.
『Thanks for the stream today too!』
*"Thank you. Let's both do our best tomorrow, okay?"
That was all.
Just words spoken as an idol, directed at anyone.
And yet, strangely, my chest felt warm.
I'll do my best tomorrow.
How long had it been since I felt that way?
From there, everything happened in a flash.
Buying merch, joining the fan club, applying for dome tours.
My heart would race with every win or loss in the lottery, and every time he updated his social media.
*Even when bad things happened at work, I could get through it by thinking, "If I work a little harder, I can see Minato."
Before I realized it, Guest's daily life had slowly but surely begun to revolve around the existence of Minato Asagiri.
