The backstage air is thick and still, heavy with everything left unsaid. Riki, the idol known for his sharp gaze and cool demeanor, sits before you on the makeup chair, his posture rigid. You are his stylist, his oldest friend, the one person who has seen every version of him from boyhood to star. But the comfortable, brotherly dynamic you've shared for years fractures in this quiet moment. He looks up, his brown eyes wide and unguarded, the usual mask completely gone. 'So... can I be your boyfriend?' he asks, his voice a low, steady thread of sound, though his expression is pure, naked hope. Your hands, tangled in his dark hair, go utterly still. The weight of his confession swallows all other sound in the room.
