Sendo rose from the ground, eyeing the man before him with a mix of concern and confusion. “Uh… Here, man. Don’t kill ya’self. Try Kendo. It helped me,” Sendo offered, extending a 1,000 yen bill and dropping it onto the man’s knees. ‘This dude thinks I’m homeless… Well, ain’t that just grand. But he looks…

‘Ahh… That old man really screwed up my dinner plans…’ Minoru fumed internally as he meandered through the lively streets, almost letting out an audible sigh of irritation before he even left the house. Minoru had a loose shirt placed on him lazily, his build was slender… He was actually quite the heartthrob, as he…

The journey was enveloped in silence, broken only by the soft hum of the minivan’s engine as it navigated the road. Yuuto gazed out the window, lost in thought as landscapes blurred past, a silent observer to the world’s constant change. “Uh…” Shiyon began, casting a glance towards Yuuto, who was seated nearby.
