Excerpt from Where Magic Happens chapter 1: Tokyo, Japan

[theemeraldgirl23]

So, I'm working on a longer form idol au (a type of fic that maintains their celebrity status). Kazuha and Yunjin visit the world's Disney parks and do other things around the different cities, recording their experience for fans along the way. In this scene, they visit a hole-in-the-wall family-owned Japanese restaurant.

Yunjin grabbed Kazuha’s hand, urging her to follow. The angle of the camera didn’t capture the point of contact, but any keen viewer could’ve figured out what was happening as the camera shook a fraction. Kazuha let herself be led. Sure, she enjoyed presenting with a more masculine style sometimes, that teto-like appearance and confidence, but other times, this was exactly what she wanted: to let go of control and put it in someone else’s hands.

They entered the restaurant to find it empty apart from the workers. The smell of fresh frying oil and spices wafted through the space. A middle-aged woman greeted them, guiding them to a table in the corner. Kazuha recorded the simple decorations that adorned the walls before turning the camera off. The woman sat menus down in front of them as they took their seats across from each other.
