Unforeseen Budding

A girl named Jeremie, around 15 years old, could be seen tossing around on the bed while fiddling with her phone. Tears glistened in her eyes as she appeared to be arguing with someone on her phone, maybe her close friend or boyfriend. After diddling for around 10–15 minutes, she threw her phone onto her pillow and started sobbing and shouting, "Why did you block me now? Why can't we just solve the issue? Why would you do this to me? Just why?"

She then sobbed for around 30 minutes, releasing her pent-up frustration. She rolled over, grabbed her phone, and started to scroll her feed. She needed an escape, something to lift her spirits. As she mindlessly scrolled through her social media feed, a random ad popped up: "Free DEVIL HEARTS Concert Tickets! Enter Now!"

Jeremie's heart skipped a beat. She had been a fan of DEVIL HEARTS for as long as she could remember, and Akkii, the group's charismatic vocalist, had always been her favorite. Without hesitation, she clicked the ad and entered the contest. It was a long shot, but she needed something to hope for.

A few days later, she received an email that made her heart race with excitement: "Congratulations, Jeremie! You've won free tickets to DEVIL HEARTS concert!" She couldn't believe her luck. This was her chance to forget her troubles and see her idol in person.

The day of the concert arrived, and Jeremie's excitement was palpable. She made her way to the venue, her heart pounding with anticipation. The atmosphere was electric, filled with fans just as excited as she was. As she took her seat, she felt a wave of happiness wash over her. For the first time in weeks, she felt truly excited.

The lights dimmed, and the crowd erupted in cheers as DEVIL HEARTS took the stage. Jeremie's eyes were glued to Akkii, his presence commanding and magnetic. He sang with passion, his voice resonating through the venue and touching her heart. It was as if he was singing just for her.

During a break between songs, Akkii scanned the crowd, his eyes seeming to search for someone. When they landed on Jeremie, her breath caught in her throat. He smiled warmly, and she felt a connection that transcended the distance between them.

After the concert, Jeremie lingered near the stage, hoping for a chance to meet Akkii. To her astonishment, a staff member approached her. "Akkii noticed you in the crowd and wanted to meet you. Would you like to come backstage?"

Jeremie's heart raced as she followed the staff member backstage. She couldn't believe this was happening. When she entered the room, Akkii was there, his smile just as warm as it had been on stage.

"Hi, Jeremie," he greeted, his voice gentle and kind. "I'm so glad you could make it to the concert."

Jeremie blushed, feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness. "Thank you, Akkii. Your performance was amazing."

Akkii chuckled, stepping a little closer. "I'm glad you enjoyed it. I could see how happy you were in the crowd. It made me want to perform even better."

Jeremie is 5.3 while Akkii is almost 6.3* Imagine the tension while she looks up to make eye contact with him…*

Their eyes locked, and Jeremie felt a spark of electricity between them. "You were incredible," she murmured, her voice soft and slightly breathless.

Akkii's gaze lingered on her, his smile turning a bit more playful. "You know, it's fans like you that make all the hard work worth it. You have such a captivating presence."

Jeremie's cheeks flushed, and she found herself stepping closer to him. "I couldn't take my eyes off you," she admitted, her voice low and intimate.

Akkii reached out, gently brushing a strand of hair from her face. "The feeling's mutual," he said, his voice dropping to a seductive whisper. "There's something about you, Jeremie. I couldn't look away."

Their conversation flowed effortlessly, the chemistry between them undeniable. As they talked, Jeremie felt her worries melt away in his presence. He was kind, attentive, and genuinely interested in getting to know her. She found herself opening up about her troubles with her boyfriend.

Akkii listened intently, his expression serious, while a scheming thought erupted in his mind as he looked at the captivating beauty. "You deserve someone who treats you with respect and kindness, Jeremie. Don't settle for anything less." He then moved closer to her, tucked her hair back, and looked deeply into her eyes.

"Hey, Jeremie," Akkii said softly, his voice cutting through the gentle hum of the place. "Ever tried whiskey before?"

Jeremie looked into his eyes, a curious smile playing on her lips. "I've never had it before."

Akkii smiled, his eyes warm and inviting as he stepped closer, their bodies almost touching. "I thought it might be nice to share a drink with you. There's something special about whiskey. It has a way of warming you up and bringing out good conversations."

"So my first time is with you, right?" Akkii playfully teased, lifting his glass.

"Mmm, I haven't done it with my boyfriend yet," Jeremie murmured, but Akkii heard it clearly and felt a desire to have this beauty rise in his heart.

Akkii chuckled, his gaze dropping to her lips for a brief second before meeting her eyes again. "I'm happy to have introduced you to it. Here's to many more nights like this."

Their faces were inches apart, the tension between them palpable. Akkii reached out, gently tucking a loose strand of hair behind Jeremie's ear. "You look beautiful tonight," he murmured, his voice low and intimate.

Jeremie's cheeks flushed, her breath catching at his touch. "Thank you, Akkii San." she replied, her voice equally soft and inviting.

"Call me Akkii," Akkii sternly said with a playful smile on his face, lifting his glass and clinking it with hers.

Akkii's hand lingered on her cheek, his thumb brushing her skin lightly. "There's something about tonight... and about you... that's making it unforgettable."

Jeremie leaned in, her lips almost brushing his. "Maybe it's the company," she whispered, mustering up some confidence, her eyes half-closed.

Akkii closed the distance, capturing her lips in a slow, lingering kiss. The world seemed to fade away, leaving just the two of them in that moment. When they finally pulled apart, he rested his forehead against hers, his breath warm against her skin.

"Stay close, Jeremie," he murmured. "I want to share many more moments like this with you."

Jeremie blushed, her heart racing with excitement and desire. "I'd love to do that, Akkii sa…. Akkii."
