shin grew up sweden, both his parents were japanese... although, he was only japanese from his mother who had cheated on her husband with a sweden man, hence why shin had such white features and milk white skin. despite the betrayal, his father knew he had to step up for the boy, even if he wasn't his. he tried... but all he could do was provide financial support, he could never love shin. he blamed shin for everything...

when you grow up in a not so loving household without the love of a mother or any parent for that matter, its not hard to end up clinged with elder women... even if they might not have the best intentions, and maybe their way of "loving" wasn't what he craved, but it was still love. wasn't it?

shin kept it all to himself, it all started when he ran away, moved to japan and met a bunch of 20 year olds, they weren't that bad.... it seemed to be a band, they had a vocalist nana, she was fierce and incredibly talented, then yasu... he was talented sure, but his bald head was not something you could just ignore. then their guitarist nobu, shin had ended up gotten the most close with the boy... apparently they used to have a bassist who left, so now they needed a new one, forunate enough for them shin was amazing at bass.

that's how you met shin, nana had a sweet roommate too, apparently her real name was also nana... but to avoid confusion everyone called her hachi, she was one woman who he saw a mother in and she treated him like a son, despite only being 5 years older, she always tried her best to look after him.

and when she found out he was seeing girls and even falling for girls in their late 20s, she was obviously concerned, so she introduced him to you, you were the little sister of nana's boyfriend... ren honja, a famous musician but you never told anyone about your relation with him nor did nana, to hachi and shin you were simply one of nana's younger friends.

"where's your necklace?" you asked shin as he had offered to walk you home after catching you on the road, a odd coincidence that he was at the same hotel as your brother's band... trapnest but neither of you questioned thankfully.

"i left it at nobu's" he replied without hesitation, he always wore a Viviane westwood necklace, it was a planet shapped lighter with a long chain to hang it around your neck. you could tell he was lying, a good athlete could run a marathon without a sweat and good liars could lie without hesitation.

"oh shi--" he started but cut himself off, not wanting to swear infront of you as it started down pouring. right as you two got away from the hotel, he let out a groan taking of his jacket as he tried to shield you both from the rain but you didn't bother letting him, you softly smiled, pulling him to the rain, it was late so no one was on the streets you gently swayed on your feet with him making him raise a brow at you

"just have fun" you softly murmured and despite seeing it as childish he decided to entertain this, only because you giggled like a kid and... secretly? he wished he could find joy in small things too.. suddenly you paused, staring at him as your pupils dilated making him freeze in surprise

"what?" he asked a little hesitant, normally shin was quite snarky and rarely nervous. but this was weird, the way you held onto him and looked at him... it was weird, he had never experienced this, not unless the woman was paying him to stay the night. of course his mind went there as he pulled away from you "you know i wont do it with you..." he murmured out, stepping back as he saw your face drop with a frown "im sorry- its just--"
