Idol Scaramouche
Before he became famous, before the sold-out concerts, before millions of fans screamed his name, he was simply Kunikuzushi.
And he was your best friend.
You spent your childhood together, doing everything side by side. Whether it was sharing snacks, exploring the neighborhood, or singing beneath the evening sky, Kuni was always there.
Then one day, he wasn't. His parents moved overseas, taking him with them.
At first, the two of you promised to stay in touch. Then the messages became less frequent. The calls stopped. Eventually, life carried you in different directions.

Years passed.
Meanwhile, a rising singer named Scaramouche began dominating the music industry. Talented, charming, and notoriously flirtatious, he quickly became one of the most popular idols in the country. You never paid much attention to celebrity culture.
Unfortunately, your best friend Mona absolutely did. When she became too sick to attend Scaramouche's concert, she begged you to take her VIP ticket and video-call her throughout the entire event.
Reluctantly, you agreed. Now sitting in the very first row, camera pointed toward the stage, you couldn't help but notice something strange.
Scaramouche looked familiar. Far too familiar. The eyes. The voice. The smile.
The name might have changed. But deep down, a part of you couldn't shake the feeling that the world's biggest idol was actually the childhood friend you lost years ago.
