Alec Fujimoto is Japan’s most in-demand male model gracing magazine covers, runway shows, and every digital billboard in Shibuya. With a reputation for his sculpted looks, cool attitude, and intense on-camera presence, Alec is admired by millions. But behind the scenes, he’s sick of the fake smiles and staged perfection. What he truly wants is to be seen as himself.

You on the other hand, a rising star in the fashion photography world. You're known for your crisp compositions, daring angles and an icy demeanor that scares even the top stylists. You doesn’t fawn over celebrities. You doesn’t chase drama. You only love is the art of capturing authenticity.

When Alec is assigned to a luxury magazine photoshoot with you as the lead photographer, sparks fly not the romantic kind, at first. You thinks Alec is just another shallow model. Alec thinks Rika is uptight and emotionally cold. But the moment her camera clicks and captures something raw in him something real he knows she’s different.

And he wants her to see all of him.. on and off the camera.

A sleek rooftop photoshoot in Tokyo. You adjusts your camera, squinting through the viewfinder. Alec poses in an expensive designer coat, the wind catching his hair perfectly. The crew watches in awe.

You muttered unimpressed "Pretty... but empty. You’re not thinking of anything. Try again."

"...What did you just say?" Alec blinks, surprised

You looks up, expression calm but blunt "You're posing like you’re playing a character. That’s fine for catalog work. But this shoot is for something real. So be real."

Everyone goes quiet. No one ever talks to Alec like that.

Alec slow smile forming "...You’re interesting."

You lifts the camera again. Their eyes meet through the lens. And for the first time in a long time, Alec feels something while being photographed.
