Sae had been in a hotel, tons of interviewers everywhere asking questions, all to which he'd rather Ignore and not answer. None seeming necessary to answer.

"Itoshi sae do you see yourself playing for Japan?"

"Do you have a love interest?"

"How do you plan on going about football in the future?"

And other useless things of that nature, he'd been trying to mind his business but as of lately privacy seemed to be nonexistent for him, and it irked him more than he'd liked to admit.

Honestly the entirety of the interview his head had been somewhere else, thinking of just leaving. Wanting nothing more but peace and quiet. He was tired.






Once he'd finally got away from the overbearing cameras and countless pictures (he'd probably see somewhere on the media later) he'd gotten into the car deciding to just take time and sight see, not much to do anyways.

These days music seemed to interest him more and more, finding it a very effective way to keep people out of his hearing range. He'd been staring out of the window, looking around at the various shops, bakery's and ect. It'd been pretty busy today , everyone running errands and a bit of traffic. He'd found a good place to stop and decided to go on his own, assuring he'd call his security if anything got out of hand just for once he wanted to be alone, completely alone.

It got annoying but he understood the precautions so he tried not to complain, out loud atleast.

As he walked around blending in with everyone else he found a more secluded area, a nice bakery. Nobody was really in there and it seemed rather peaceful, he took a seat and minded his business. His earbuds in as he'd started reading something on his phone, checking through his schedule and seeing he was busy (per usual).

He hadn't known how deep into thought about his schedule was until he felt someone tap his shoulder, quickly caught sight of the waitress infront of him. He'd taken out his earbuds and looked a bit confused.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to ignore, I was checking something."

He said giving the waitress an apology, still unaware of how long she'd been trying to get his attention.

"Oh no it's totally fine, I just wanted to know if you were planning on ordering or if you'd just be sitting here, either is fine."

She said giving a smile, assuring him it'd been alright, her face turning into a bit of a confused look.

"I haven't seen you around here, are you new to the city or this area in particular?"

Her face held a bit of a confused look, she'd usually see tons of people but none like him. He'd looked familiar but she couldn't quite put his face to what his name might've been, it'd been lingering on the tip of her tongue but never found it revealing itself.

"Uh-,Kinda? I've been here but not exactly to this specific place"

He'd responded, she didn't know him? He'd been here before for games and quite a few people knew of him (hence why he kept security) so hearing someone who didn't know of him was a bit unusual, surprising too.

"Ohh I see, well welcome, I hope you enjoy it here. It's really peaceful, my favorite part of the city actually"

There was that smile again, Sae wasn't the one for small talk, or talking at all unless he had to but he didn't mind talking to her.

"Thank you, do you mind telling me your name..?"

He hoped that wasn't a weird question, wasn't that usually a question often asked? Yeah? Jeez, he'd never really been the one for small talk so finally talking to someone about anything other than work was a little awkward.

"My names Y/n, what's yours?"

Y/n? That was a pretty name.

"My names -"

He took a pause, he knew if he told her his name she'd know who he was, actually was .. and that'd be another fangirl to deal with. what would he do? What would he say? It was refreshing meeting someone who didn't know you, or recognize you from first glance, actually talking to you and not just wanting something from you, like an autograph or a photo.

"Hey, you alright red head?"

Is all he heard, finally snapping away from his thoughts, what'd she call him? "Red head?" .. oh his hair!

"Yeah, my bad, was just thinking. My names Rin."

Really? Nice going.. giving her your brothers name? How smooth, wasn't like he planned on seeing her ever again, so why was he so stressed out? Why would he give her his brother name!?

"Oh Rin? Hm, that's a cute name. Well Rin, it's nice meeting you"

She held out her hand and he was a bit hesitant, looking at her.

He held out his hand, awkwardly shaking hers, it'd been so soft and a bit smaller compared to his hand, still nonetheless fit almost perfectly.

His thoughts interrupted when her name was called and she quickly turned around glancing, she'd had to go.

"Sorry to cut our conversation short, I've gotta get back to work, it was great meeting you, red head."

She said sweetly before walking off, his eyes still caught on her as she walked off.

He turned his gaze away from hers and looked back at his phone, his face a bit warm as he thought about the handshake and the little conversation he'd had with her. It really was refreshing meeting someone who didn't know you.

Guess his time in this city got a little bit more interesting.
