DARKBLOODREDM00N
1987, Michael Jackson is at the height of his career, mesmerizing the world with his performances, from packed stadiums to fans overwhelmed with emotion. However, behind the glittering facade of flashing cameras and iconic outfits, Michael experiences a loneliness rooted in the absence of genuine connection-a longing untouched by fame and fortune. To alleviate this emptiness, he often takes late-night drives or strolls through the streets of New York. It's during one of these nights that he first notices her at a 24-hour Chinese takeout restaurant. From the window of his car, he sees her handing a meal to a customer with a tired but beautiful smile, but he doesn't go in of anything. The second time around he walks out and sees her again all alone he can't help but walk in.
Annairda
She is a homebody, a creature of habit, who's heavily sleep-deprived, and sarcastic. Her schedule consists of eat, sleep, cuddle with her cat, and work then repeat. And she likes it that way, so as the cashier at Lucky Star Chinese takeout; she isn't starstruck by Michael. She was simply tired and confused, In fact, she mentally questions if he knows that he's at a takeout restaurant instead of a fancy place up at Wallstreet and finds hard it on what to make of him at all. But for the first time in years, Michael feels seen not as a global pop star icon, but as just Michael.
What began as a stop at a takeout restaurant under New York City street lights quickly turns into something schedule-changing for something deeper: returning visits, late-night phone calls and walks, bad joke-telling, dark secret-telling, and a love neither of them ever expected. But falling for the most famous man in the world comes with a price, and the closer Annairda gets to Michael, the more impossible it becomes to be able to be level-headed and separate fantasy from reality.
