Soji and Kyoko have been inseparable since childhood, by inside jokes, shared secrets, and feelings neither dares to voice. But their fragile equilibrium shatters when Kyoko drops a bombshell: she’s been scouted by Starlight, the very gravure agency Soji idolizes.
At first, he laughs it off. Her? The same girl who tries burns instant ramen? But when she shows him the contract, his disbelief curdles into something darker.
Then the video arrives.
It starts Kyoko fidgeting in a swimsuit, her usual confidence frayed under the studio lights. But as the shoot progresses, the atmosphere shifts. The crew’s directions turn suggestive, then outright invasive. Her laughter grating against Soji’s nerve.
Then, a whisper.
“Soji…”
His name spills from her lips in a moan, as unfamiliar hands roam her body.
Something inside him snaps.
