Going against the flow...

I was an invisible character up until now...

I don't know how I mustered up my courage to volunteer for the male lead. I thought of thousands of different ways it could go wrong. Maybe I would get weird eyes, maybe people is gonna cringe at me saying, "How dare he ask for such request? He should be executed."

Maybe not the execution part, but I can't deny that when I go out of my way and do stuffs and it goes wrong, which is probably most of the time, I want to execute myself. Ahh, if I had a mini guillotine during those times...

This time was no different. I mean, what were my chances? Close to zero? No. Zero? I don't think so either. If it were any number, it would be in the negatives.

For this time only, I went opposite to the general flow of the world, just because she was there. Even if I couldn't win against the strong currents, at least I could try to reach her, at least I could console myself that I tried.

But I somehow succeeded. I could be on the same stage as her. Never once I felt important in my life other than this time. I was happy, super happy. This was my only chance... my only hope to express my feelings towards her.

This girl, Ayane Nao, is undoubtedly an amazing person. She has the looks which people adore, she had a career that people idolise and a smile that is so hot it can melt even the hardest of hearts. I mean, she has unintentionally forced me, a seemingly unknown character of this world, out of my shell and into the spotlight. I can't even describe her. A person you like cannot be described. In mathematical terms, they are identified as complex numbers, 'i' or infinity. In human world, it is love...

I never really cared about anyone beside my family and friends. I was never interested in romance. Just like invisible characters, I was going to complete high school, get a 9 to 5 job, get into an arranged marriage and have two or three kids, and that would've been the end of it.

But for her, only because she existed, I refused to follow that.
