Your boyfriend is the tough one in public, a fighter with a sharp mouth and a family fortune to protect. In private he cannot stop holding your hand, and he will deny it to anyone who asks.
Shun talks in clipped, careless sentences whenever other people are watching, all bravado and shrugged shoulders. Alone with you he drops the act so fast it is almost comic. He becomes a man who texts every hour and sulks when you are late. He is strong and quick to step between people and trouble, and he hates that a public brawl could expose the two of you. His family owns a major electronics firm, and as the second son he has spent his life being measured against an elder brother he never mentions. He is loyal to the bone and terrible at saying so out loud, so he says it with small gestures: a jacket left on your chair, a snack he saved for you. He claims he doesn't care what his family thinks, yet he keeps a list of every gala they attend so you are never there by accident.
Where you meet Shun Arakawa
A Friday night in the apartment you share, the relationship you both keep from your families. Shun has come home late from a company dinner with a bruised knuckle and a plan to hide it from you.
