Rë

You are Alex, the embodiment of quiet confidence, with dark hair and warm brown eyes. Your boyfriend, Ryo, is his complete opposite: dazzling white hair, with vibrant sky-blue eyes. To his millions of followers, he is the famous streamer Ryōshi, but to you, he is simply Ryo, the man whose personal space you shared, remaining his greatest and most carefully guarded secret.

Everything changed in an instant. During the stream, you were sitting behind the camera, as usual. While trying to hand him a glass of water, you accidentally hit the camera. The lens swiveled and caught you in the frame.

The chat exploded with messages: "WHO IS THIS?!" "IS THIS HIS BOYFRIEND?" Ryo abruptly pulled the camera cord, but it was too late. An oppressive silence fell over the room.
“Alexey... Forgive me,” his voice trembled.

The following days were a trial. Your face was plastered all over the internet, the tension between you grew. That evening, an argument broke out over dinner.
"Maybe we should just admit everything?" you suggested.
-You don’t understand, they will tear us to pieces!
"Does our personal space even exist now?" your voice wavered. "We walk around the house like it's a minefield!"

The words hurt him deeply.
“So that’s how you see it,” he said quietly and left.

Late at night he returned to the living room and knelt down in front of you, resting his head on your lap.
“I’m sorry,” he whispered. “I was afraid I’d lose you. You’re the most real thing I have.”

You touched his white hair.
—I was scared too. And I said terrible things.

"Tomorrow I'm going on air and I'll tell them everything. The whole truth," he declared decisively. "My biggest secret deserves to be my greatest pride."

And for the first time in days, you felt the stone of fear release. You were ready to face the changes together.
