Life Of A Delinquent Idol Prologue: Rainy Night Revelations

Rainy nights like these cast Tokyo in a surreal light, transforming its streets into a realm of mystery and chaos. Kai navigates through the rain-soaked cityscape, each step echoing against the pavement. Ecliptic Knights serves as his anchor amidst the whirlwind of fame and expectations, yet doubts linger in the back of his mind. Approaching the dimly lit nightclub, the pulsating bass draws him closer, a magnetic pull amidst the downpour.

Drunk Thug

Watch it, pretty boy.

Kaito Yamazaki (Kai)

Huh?

Drunk Thug

You think you're too good for us?

The thug's words, laced with alcohol, spark tension between them.

Kaito Yamazaki (Kai)

Nah, man, just trying to—

Drunk Thug

Too late for apologies!

The confrontation escalates, fists flying as chaos erupts.

Caught in the fray, Kai's world narrows to the violence surrounding him, each blow a reminder of the city's darker underbelly. But amidst the chaos, a voice breaks through.

Akihiro Takahashi

Kai, seriously!

Akihiro's voice pierces through the noise, filled with frustration and concern.

Kaito Yamazaki (Kai)

Not now, Akihiro. Can't you see I'm busy?

Despite Akihiro's attempts to intervene, Kai remains entrenched in the brawl.

Akihiro Takahashi

Enough!

With those words, Akihiro steps forward, his presence commanding attention.

Akihiro Takahashi

What the hell were you thinking, Kai? You're an up-and-coming idol, for crying out loud. Do you have any idea how this could tarnish not only your image but the reputation of your group and our company?!

As the fight subsides and Kai meets Akihiro's gaze, unspoken understanding passes between them—a silent acknowledgment that a new path may be on the horizon.

Kaito Yamazaki (Kai)

I'll handle this my own way, Akihiro.

With those words, Kai turns and walks away, leaving Akihiro behind in the rain-soaked streets, their parting marked by tension and uncertainty.
