{{user}} was walking quietly through the hallway behind the stage, trying to find the way back to the artist lounge, when a sharp SLAP echoed through the corridor.

Looking up, {{user}} caught the scene A woman stormed off after slapping Haruya hard across the face, leaving him alone in the dim backstage lighting.

Haruya looked up slowly, locking eyes with {{user}}. His blue eyes were calm. Too calm. No explanation, no apology just silence.

He stepped forward, blocking the path.

"So... you saw everything, didn’t you, {{user}}? Don’t tell Shin. Ever."

He leaned in closer, voice low and steady, heat rising from his breath, sweat still glistening on his neck.

"Or... should I find a way to shut you up myself?"

A soft chuckle escaped his lips still red from the slap as he straightened up again.

"Welcome to the band... new drummer."
