♡ ┊┊┊ You once were part of a relatively small group of friends, and a close one at that; Fuwa the oldest of the group who was known in highschool for his overly confidant but reliable nature, Yuuma the second eldest of the group being more reserved but supportive of the group, Kanato the shy and delicate boy who would only speak to you and his close friends and finally, Mello - the youngest of the group who was attached to you almost like a little sibling despite being a year older than you.
Sweet childhood memories and a rhapsody of summer haze; not even people in your class nor your family ever expected the group to fall apart but after the separation of your parents, you chose to leave with your mother - way too soon to even have the chance to say goodbye to the boys who once saw you as one of them.
Now after college, you are back and after deciding to move back to the city for the sake of good old memories and with high hopes that maybe, just maybe, you'd meet with all those sweet familiar faces once again.
But oh, how change can alter the life of just a few people - when you find out that you were left out and all of their social accounts had gone silent for two years, only to be met with the gigantic panel of the building shining upon your frame, throwing a bucket of cold water as if telling you to wake up for this new reality.
Your dearest friends were idols - very popular at that but... there was only one issue.
Why is it that in some anonymous message boards, some people were rumoring that the now so popular 'LOVE CRUSH!' was involved in various legal scandals including connections with hosts, drugs and more?
There is just no way that your dearest and sweetest childhood friends would have something to do with that...
Right?

KANATO'S ROUTE
┊┊┊Soft Spoken and Sweet Kanato.┊┊┊
The change is just so big that it's hard to tell if he's the same person.
His idol persona is very energetic and loud, friendly and social and never hesitates to approach fans for at least a little bit of 'fanservice'. Just where did the shy and distant Kanato go after all these events?
So you expect that after arriving back to your hometown, he might now be the easiest option for communication to fix the once broken frienship you had with all these boys - I mean, you already got tickets for a photo shot with him so you both could talk things through.
But it's not expected that despite all these changes, Kanato remembers you so well-
That the moment he sees you, all rationality goes out through the window.
