"Thank you very much everyone! Good night!"

Tanjirou left the stage. You were still smiling brightly as you hid your lightstick, but not before giving it a sweet kiss. You turned to Zenitsu and started smacking him.

"AAAAAHHH TANJIROU! PLEASE BE MINE!"

Fed up by your fangirl antics, Zenitsu said, "Stop! The concert's over!"

"I KNOW! I KNOW! ISN'T HE CHARMING?!"

"Yeah, yeah."

"Be more enthusiastic, Zen-kun!"

"E-eh. Yeah! He's charming." You laughed at how Zenitsu tried-and failed miserably-to appear enthusiastic.

You were a fan of Tanjirou ever since he first debuted as an idol. Once your eyes found his in LED screen of your phone, you were sent spiraling down to his fandom. You admired at how charming he can get. His looks, his skills, his talent, his everything. You adore everything about him. You watch every interviews or any content about Tanjirou online and in stores. When rumors spread online, you cast a blind eye. It's normal for people who want Tanjirou to his knees. You were wrapped around his finger.

"Hey, stop daydreaming."

You chuckle awkwardly. You and Zenitsu were about to get separated. He needs to take a bus to go home, while you need to take the train. You two were on the road, ready to bid farewell with each other.

You gave him a grateful smile. "Thanks for coming with me today, Zen-kun. I really appreciate it."

"Yeah, yeah. You better have your boyfriend with you next time or I'll put his head on a platter."

Your mood went sour from the mention of your boyfriend. You two were not on good terms right now. He also doesn't support your fangirl self for Tanjirou. In fact, he hates it. Damn boys. They just don't get the life of a fangirl. The tragic of not being able to reach your idol. Oh, such tragic life!

"Noted."

With a wave, Zenitsu walked away to the bus station.

You looked down to your wristwatch and found it early to go home for the night. Maybe, I could visit (B/N).

With that in mind, you skipped towards your boyfriend's apartment.

* * *

Only to find him with an another girl.

You clenched your fist. You were hurt, but you didn't shed any tears. It's weird. But, why it seems like you were expecting this? This scene literally just came out from a movie.

What's more? He's not even denying it or defending himself. You just want to throw him and some "mysterious" girl from their balcony, sending them to Pluto.

"Miss? Miss? Are you fine?"

Your gaze snapped towards the man in question. He looked worried. "Yeah, I'm fine. I feel great."

Hands landed on your shoulders. You quickly turned around and saw another man looking at you with a malicious glint in his eyes. Right then and there, you felt you are a prey caught in the trap of your predator.

The second man offered, "Why don't you come with us for now? You really look devastated. We'll keep you company." You slapped the man's hands, only to be replaced by an arm around your shoulder. A groan slipped past your lips. You warned, "I'll kick your balls if you don't leave me alone."

The next second, you were pinned on the wall. You were already drained from seeing your boyfriend cheat on you. You can't take this shit anymore.

"Hands off me!"

You struggled under the two men's grip. You tried to knee one of the, but was stopped. It seemed like they knew what you were about to do. You attempted to scream. but a hand prevented you from doing so. The hell?!

The lack of oxygen made you weak, cutting off the rush of adrenaline. Panic invaded your body and mind. You can't let your life be ruined by some idiots. You still have to personally meet Tanjirou! There's no way you'll meet him in heaven. You can't bear to wait that long.

You don't remember much of the next moments.

The next thing you knew hands that were restricting you were gone. Your traumatized body fell on the concrete ground, eyes fixed in a dead stare.

A handsome boy-probably right around your age-entered your view. Unlike the previous assholes, this boy appears to be more kind. His burgundy eyes sparkled in the darkness of the night. It shone and glinted in kindness and warmth. He was looking at you with overwhelming worry. You can see the sincerity of his eyes and voice in the way he asked, "Are you alright, Miss? Are you hurt?"

You shook your head no, answering the latter question. He gave you a large an bright smile. A smile that makes you blind. The boy stood up, lending his hand to you.

That's when it clicked.

Holy shit! Holy shit! Tanjirou is in front of me. THE Tanjirou! Lord, thank you for letting me live to see this blessing up close.

You barely stopped yourself from squealing. You took his waiting hand. Your whole face went red from the physical contact. You prayed Tanjirou didn't see your red face since it's dark and all.

"Um..." Your eyes were trained on him. You noticed he looked even more attractive and hotter in normal clothes. Your blush worsened.

Tanjirou beamed at you. It took all of your will not to fangirl right at the moment. Tanjirou introduced himself, "I'm Kamado Tanjirou! Nice to meet you!"

You gulped. You bestowed him a restrained smile. "I'm (L/N) (Y/N)."

"That's a nice name!"

How could a perfection exist?

Silence covered the two of you. Mustering up the courage, you asked, "Can I... Can I hug you?"

"Hug? Of course!" Tanjirou wrapped his arms around you. You felt the slight sweat in his exposed neck, but his scent is good. You caught a whiff of his shampoo. You were amazed at how he maintained to smell good despite being tired and sweaty. You pulled away, feeling reluctant.

"Have you already eaten? I don't believe you're alright after what just happened." Before you could even protest, Tanjirou took your hand and lead you out of the alley you hadn't realized you entered minutes ago.

The bursting feeling in your chest as he led you in the street made your smile seemed permanent on your lips. Your unoccupied hand landed on your chest, feeling the heightened rate of your heartbeat.

Eventually, Tanjirou and you entered a simple food chain, much to your relief. You don't want him to spend too much money on someone like you. You just noticed he was wearing a hat and a pair of shades as he took it off, following the rules of the said food chain to take off hats and shades upon entering.

There were a few customers inside. They weren't distracted from the chime of the bell you both made as you two waltzed inside the restaurant. The staffs their seemed to brighten up at the sight of Tanjirou; a reaction you noticed quickly immediately.

Tanjirou lead you to an empty table, asking you what your orders are.

You don't even know this restaurant existed in the first place, so what in the hell you are going to eat?

Awkwardly scratching your cheek, you admitted, "I don't really know. It's my first time here."

Tanjirou said, "Well, you're lucky! This restaurant serves the best homemade dishes! I recommend this one specific dish. It's my favorite!"

His enthusiasm sent your heart ablaze. He looks even more charming like this! You were so glad you got to see this side of Tanjirou.

You reached for your wallet, pulling out a bill. Tanjirou swiftly stopped your hands, saying, "It's on me! I literally dragged you along. It's the least I can do."

He's too good for this cruel world. You thought as you smiled bashfully at him. You simply nodded and let him took the orders to the counter.

Watching him from afar, with your elbow resting on the table and your cheek resting on your palm, you realized outside his idol career, Tanjirou is just a normal person. No, you can never call Tanjirou "normal". He is a very peculiar boy. He wasn't stained by the cruel hardship of the world. You are sure he is aware of it, maybe that's why he chose to be an idol. He wants to keep the cruel world at bay.

You were even surprised at how he was comfortable to you. Isn't he supposed to be afraid you might use things like this to blackmail him or ruin his reputation? He's kind, far too kind for you.

The sight of your boyfriend cheating entered your mind. You shook your head. He's not worth it. You thought. You deserve so much better, (Y/N).

"Food's here!"

You snapped from your thinking session. Tanjirou sat across you. His eyes were sparkling at the sight of his "favorite dish". A smile came on your lips at the mouth-watering first impression of the said dish.

"Itadakimasu."

The two of you conversed as you ate: laughing, debating, and comforting each other. Never did the butterflies on your stomach left you. You prayed once more for Tanjirou to assume the red on your face was due to the heat. The two of you were like good friends, even though you two met for at least an hour ago.

You want to remain in contact with Tanjirou, but he has other duties in life. How could he possibly remember a nobody like you?

The fact saddened you. As you stood outside the restaurant, you swore you will never forget this encounter with the person you admire so much.

Tanjirou turned to you. He held out his phone to you. "Let's exchange numbers."

"Eh?"

He repeated again, "Let's exchange numbers."

You blinked at him, astonished he asked for your number.

Tanjirou's mood significantly shifted. "If you don't want to, it's fine."

You panicked. "NO! I mean yes! It's fine! We can exchange numbers!" You took his phone, replacing it with your phone. You added yourself in his contacts, not even trying to read the other contacts for respecting his privacy.

Tanjirou brightened up. He eagerly entered his number in your contacts. Smiling, he returned your phone as you returned his as well, cheeks red from embarrassment.

Your phone chimed. You even don't have to look to know who it is. It's your mother worried for you. "I need to go. See you soon, Kamado-kun."

You were about to run towards the station before Tanjirou stopped you by grabbing your wrist. He pulled you in for a hug, which sent you to a state of inner fangriling. He still smells good.

Tanjirou whispered, "You can call me Tanjirou, you know." He pulled away. "I'll see you again, (Y/N)-chan!"

He started running towards the other direction, leaving you in front of the restaurant.

He looked down at his phone, seeing your name on his contacts. A fond smile graced his lips. Yes! We can still see each other.

Tanjirou will definitely clear his schedule this weekend to spend time with you again.
