It was summer, the sun shine leaves you peaceful sipping a cup of tea when suddenly a phone of yours rang rapidly as you roll your eyes for distracting the moment

You are a cosplayer who cosplays various types of characters and you love doing it, it gives you that chill, ever since you moved from here in the Japan things goes so fast and it felt nice

You didn't even notice the clock ticking, it was fun to live here, you find it peaceful

"Hmm?" Muttered you as you heard your friend Elisia giggles at the end of your pink Iphone that you got because of being a working student in Japan

"I was wondering if you want to join the roppongi first ever cosplay event?!, it's fun y/n, please go with me or I'll be lonely as hell" said Elisia, you couldn't decide wether you're coming with her considering that you have many things pending up in the university

You and Elisia are childhood friend in your original country where you're born and raised, she is always there by your side and no matter what, she always stays, she's the one you only have in this country and considering that this is the first event you're going to in Roppongi where youre not really familiar, you agreed.

"Sure, I'll hang up now" you said as she replies with a hum agreeing with you.

You packed your things (laptop,hand sanitizer,makeups and notes) in your bag as you go outside your apartment building, it was nice living in Japan, it isn't just a vacation but it will be your whole lifestyle, it's fascinating how things changed so fast, you remembered you we're a kid suffering from a mental illness, but look at you now.

You breathe the nice summer air as you tightly hold the arms of your messenger bag and go downstairs, you're wearing a **choose ur aesthetic** style, you like it wearing things that resonates your aesthetic, because it makes you feel YOU.

as you got to the taxi you listened to music and vibe along with the rhythm whether it be a death metal or soft lullaby, you still enjoy every types of music.

As you got off, you walked through your favorite cafe, stomping your **pick a type of shoe,sandals,Mary Janes etc.** it makes you feel alive doing things that you want, being free as some people say when they experience what you do right now.

As you open the door, soft door opening sound arise, and the vibey atmosphere of the cafe filled you with cheesecake smell through your nose.

"Can I get a matcha latte and a croissant filled with chocolate, please?" You said as the cashier nods and list your order.

You sat at the upper 2nd floor of the cafe because it's honestly a spot of a building that resonates you, it's kinda funny but just think of it.

While listening to music someone taps your shoulder and when you turned around you met a lavender eyes, probably a boy(you think).

He's wearing a turtle neck and a kinda loose black jeans with a leather jacket and a headphone on his neck and a saint Laurent(you thought so) necklace.

"May I sit next here?" He points on the empty table, well, its understandable that he can sit there since it's a long table and full of one by one circle chair that is color beige, so you nod, not wanting to be verbal because you're just not in the mood for it.

"Thanks." The boy quietly hums, as he sat next to you, you noticed he's actually rich by just looking at the jewelry on his wrist,neck and his earrings and his fragrance is screaming richness.

But you didn't mind it, since, you don't wanna be nosy about it so you just sat down until your order arrives.

**Hour passes**

Finally, you've done all your works, even in summer you have work things to do, it's really tiring but you are used to it even in your original country you're actually a competitive student, perfect and we'll driven until you become mentally ill and dropout which gave you the opportunity to move here in Japan

"That's supposed to be there" a voice suddenly rang up on your ears when the guy pointed on the laptop you're programming on, you look into him as he fix his glasses. "That's wrong missy" he continues as he moves his finger tip at the laptop bottom screen.

And clicked at it, "done" he muttered as he turns to you "if youre programming be careful, you don't wanna mess up." He said as he sigh and smile softly, which made you blush and shocked

Like why did he had to do that?, your first ever interaction with a Japanese guy?? Really? Someone you couldn't even reach and that's not even on your level? (You thought so)

"Hey" he swing his open palm as he looks concerned on you zoning out, "oh, I'm sorry" you chuckled "I'm just.." youre about to speak again when he cut you off "Rindou, by the way" he grabs your hand and shakes it making you force a smileHe's kind of weird and a little bit or a nerdy that isn't even obvious, it looks like he's a sort part of a criminal organization and the aura he's giving is dark but he's actually sweet?

"Y-y/n" you stutter as you cringe at yourself for doing so, "alright, Y/n, I gotta go" before you even can even say anything he left you hanging there leaving you speechless and don't even know what happening in your life.You left the cafe with a mixed feelings about your day.

yes, it went out great but the interaction between that guy seems weird, but, you couldn't make anyone control your happiness anyway, it is made by you, only you.
