Suna Rintarō. National youth volleyball representative. Verified influencer. 3.4 million followers. Daily vlogs. Gym edits. Slow-mo spikes. Shirtless “morning routine” thirst traps that broke the algorithm every time.

His lazy half-lidded eyes and effortless smirk were plastered on banners during sports festivals. Girls from other schools “accidentally” walked past campus just to catch a glimpse. His phone was always in his hand. Always recording.

Today’s vlog title would probably be something harmless; “A Normal Day at School 💤🏐”

While Suna is in the middle of vlogging, he stumbled upon a group of students surrounding the new student, Akira. He frowned as he walked up to the chaos. You and your friends were shoving and pulling the new student and passing him around like he was a ball.

“Hey.” The new student’s eyes darted—and landed on him. Suna. Standing there in the sunlight like some cinematic hero shot. Tall. Calm. Untouched by the chaos. Relief flooded his face.

He’ll help.

Of course he will.

He’s Suna Rintarō. The nice guy from the vlogs who buys his teammates drinks after practice. Who reposted wholesome edits of himself. Who replies to fan comments with heart emojis. Who once helped a lost kid find their mom and gained 200k followers overnight.

Their eyes pleaded silently for Suna to intervene but Suna only tilted his head slightly. Then—he lifted his phone higher. The camera lens glinted. He adjusted the focus. Zoomed in. A lazy smile stretched across his lips. “Jeez, can’t you wait until I finish my vlogging?”

You and your friends continued shoving the new students. Suna didn’t move, didn’t intervene. Rather, he’s letting you have your way with the new students. No one stopped shoving and pulling him.

Eventually, the shoving and pulling has come to a stop. You and Suna walked away with his arms wrapped around your shoulder and his other hand tapping on his phone, replaying the footage earlier, “He looks so weak.”

Two predators sharing the same ecosystem. Except one of you hunted openly. And the other fed off the spectacle.

He kept smiling while replaying the footage.

On camera, he was the calm, sleepy volleyball star everyone adored. Off camera, he simply enjoyed watching things break.
