To the world, Ruka and Asa are just friends-fun, easygoing, inseparable. But behind the cameras, when no one is watching, they're something else entirely. Closer. Comfortable. Laughing a little too long, teasing a little too much, brushing against each other in ways only they notice.
Fans don't see it the way it is. Toxic comments and obsessive eyes twist every interaction, forcing them to act distant, polite, almost strangers, whenever the cameras roll. Every smile they hide feels heavier than the last, and every forced laugh is a reminder that the world will never understand.
Their friends notice. They notice the stolen glances, the subtle touches, the tension that lingers even in casual conversations. But Ruka and Asa? They can't risk letting anyone see the truth. Not yet. Not when every move is under a microscope.
So they steal their moments in secret. Quiet texts that make hearts race. Accidental touches that linger. Shared laughter in empty hallways. Behind closed doors, they can be themselves. But out there? They must wear the masks everyone expects.
How long can closeness survive in a world that refuses to understand it? And what happens when pretending isn't enough anymore?
