SHATTER THE SPOTLIGHT
Epilogue
MC pov : “ The stage lights were blinding. The roar of the crowd vibrated through my bones, the deafening chants of his name suffocating me. KAIJIN! KAIJIN! KAIJIN!! “
Lior Nacht
(Forces a smile)
Lior Nacht
Kaijin Takahashi (mumbles)
Kaijin Takahashi—Japan’s golden son, Korea’s untouchable king. He stood across from me in his designer suit, his perfect, cocky smirk in place. His deep golden-brown eyes locked onto mine like he was daring me to react.
Kaijin Takahashi
You look a little tense.
“He murmured as he passed, his voice smooth, teasing “
Kaijin Takahashi
Nervous?
Lior pov : “ I wanted to scoff, but my throat was tight. He knew. He always knew. The rivalry between us was a performance in itself. We weren’t enemies, not really. But we weren’t friends either. I wasn’t sure what we were.”
“The cameras flashed, the crowd screamed, and he took his place beside me. The host was still talking, but I couldn’t hear a word.”
“Because in that moment, as Kaijin stood next to me, smiling like he owned the world, a sinking feeling settled in my gut.”
But hate was never the right word.. was it?
Kaijin’s pov : “ The way he looked at me—it was never just competition. It was something raw, something unspoken.”
I watched him from the corner of my eye, how he clenched his jaw, his shoulders tense under the weight of expectation. He didn’t know, did he? That he shined brighter when he was like this—fighting, pushing, refusing to break.
Lior Nacht
Why would I be nervous?
Kaijin Takahashi
Because I’m standing next to you, babe. (smirks , eye’s glinting)
Lior Nacht
( stomach flips, hates himself for that) Don’t call me.. that.
Kaijin Takahashi
You love it.
Lior Nacht
( tightens the fingers around the mic)
Kaijin Takahashi
(Tilts head, studying him)
Lior Nacht
This is supposed to be my moment.
Kaijin Takahashi
(Soft scoff, eyes playful)
Kaijin Takahashi
Then take it.
Lior Nacht
(Angry, eyes simmering)
Lior Nacht
You always have to take the spotlight don’t you??
Kaijin Takahashi
( leans in) You always make me the center.
[Suddenly—gasps ripple through the arena. The crowd shifts. A murmur turns into a wave.]
Kaijin Takahashi
( brows furrow) what—?
On the massive screen behind them, a news alert flashes. A video. Headlines in red. Kaijin’s name next to a scandal he never saw coming.
Lior Nacht
(Stiffens) Kaijin..
Kaijin Takahashi
( laughs under his breath, with no humor)
Lior Nacht
( looks at him with heart pounding)
Kaijin Takahashi
( finally meets his eyes, something unreadable)
Kaijin Takahashi
Do you really think it is?
The cheers turn to whispers. The pedestal cracks. The king starts to fall.

The crown and the Ghost
[At midnight, during practice session]
Lior Nacht
(Panting on his knees)
Lior Nacht
Hughh… one more time.
Kaijin Takahashi
You’re gonna drop dead at this rate.
Kaijin Takahashi
Tsk. You’ll never get it like that.
Lior Nacht
(Glares at him in the mirror )
Lior Nacht
Why the hell are you still here!?
Kaijin Takahashi
(Leans on the doorframe)
Kaijin Takahashi
You are more interesting to watch at than my own reflection.
Lior Nacht
Hah! And yet I’d rather stare at a wall than you.
Kaijin Takahashi
Harsh, baby.
Kaijin Takahashi
(Walks in , rolling his shoulders)
Lior Nacht
Don’t! Call me that.
Kaijin Takahashi
Then stop being cute.
Lior Nacht
I’ll throw my shoe at you.
Kaijin Takahashi
Ah, kinky.
Kaijin Takahashi
Not until you fix that footwork. You are stiff.
Lior Nacht
I know how to dance , Kaijin.
Kaijin Takahashi
Mhmmm. And yet—
He moves behind Lior, each other’s eyes meeting in the mirror
Kaijin Takahashi
(Places a hand on his waist)
Lior Nacht
(Stiffens immediately)
Lior Nacht
Don’t touch me.
Kaijin Takahashi
You’re cute when you are flustered.
Lior Nacht
(Looses his balance, nearly stumbles)
Kaijin Takahashi
(Catches him, grip firm)
Kaijin Takahashi
Told you!
Lior Nacht
(Heart hammering)
Kaijin Takahashi
(Still holding him)
Kaijin Takahashi
Say please.
Lior Nacht
(Shoves him) Go to hell!
Kaijin Takahashi
(Grinning, stepping back)
Kaijin Takahashi
Already there baby, you’re here too. After all.
Lior glares at the floor, breathing hard. He should hate him. He should be annoyed. Shouldn’t care.
By the way Kaijin looks at him—like he’s worth watching, makes his stomach twist.
Kaijin is used to people following him around everywhere, being the apple of everyone’s eyes.
But why, does Lior not look at him the same way?
Why does this pull Kaijin away from Lior , instead he yearns for more.
He has no idea why he wants to chase him instead.

Cutthroat
[ In the hallway of Eclipse Entertainment ]
Kenji ( mc friend)
What the hell was that?
I slam my locker shut, muscles still tense from that disaster with Lucien. His hands on me, his voice in my ear—fuck that.
Kenji ( mc friend)
(Kenji scoffs, leaning against the lockers)
Kenji ( mc friend)
That was not nothing. You do realise you told THE KAIJIN TAKAHASHI to leave? More than half of the trainees would kill to have him teach them.
Lior Nacht
They can take my place.
Kenji ( mc friend)
(Whistles low)
Kenji ( mc friend)
Damnn , you really hate him huh.
I don’t even know myself what i feel when it comes to Kaijin.
I sink into the leather chair, one leg bouncing.
Director Kwon flips through some files, completely ignoring me. He does this on purpose—a power move.
Fine. Two can play this game.
I stretch, letting my shirt ride up just enough.
He finally looks up, Annoyed.
Director Kwon
Sit properly!
Kaijin Takahashi
What’s this about?
Kwon slides a document on the desk. LIOR NACHT’S file.
Director Kwon
Make him better. Make him marketable. He needs everything that you have.
I laugh. Shaking my head.
Kaijin Takahashi
You want me to train my competition?
Director Kwon
This ISN’T’ a request
I clench my jaw. Cuz this was never the game I wanted to play.
The next day I walk into the studio.
Kaijin’s already there. Stretching.
Kaijin Takahashi
You’re late, Nacht.
Lior Nacht
I never agreed to this.
Kaijin Takahashi
Too bad. I did.
I exhale sharply. This is the last thing i need.
But If there’s anything worse than losing to Kaijin Takahashi is
TO LETTING HIM CLOSE TO ME
