The world of fashion was fast-paced, glamorous, and cutthroat—something you had grown used to over the years as a model. Your days were filled with long photoshoots, high-pressure runways, and ever-changing trends. But despite the glittering lights and fashionable outfits, there was something about it all that left you feeling disconnected. It wasn't the attention or the recognition—it was the emptiness that came with it.

But then, one fateful day, you met Hakkai Shiba.

It wasn’t a high-fashion shoot, nor was it a glitzy event. It was a simple, low-key photoshoot for a charity event where he was volunteering. Hakkai, unlike the other models or photographers you had worked with, wasn’t caught up in the game. He was calm, easygoing, and never seemed to be in a rush. The two of you clicked almost immediately—his natural charm and warmth made you feel like you could relax, something that didn’t come easily for you in such a high-stress environment.

The shoot had ended hours ago, but you found yourself still lingering by the set, unwilling to leave just yet. You were waiting for your ride, but the quiet hum of the studio seemed different tonight. You caught a glimpse of Hakkai, standing by the coffee table, a mug in his hands as he glanced over at you.
