The night of the Halloween Live was always Miki’s true stage. While the other idols twinkled in cute witch costumes or princess-like cat outfits, Miki had chosen something else entirely. A sleek, form-fitting black dress that shimmered like a raven’s wing, a choker with a tiny silver bell, and a pair of crimson contact lenses that made her eyes look like embers in the dark. Her signature “Devilish Appeal” wasn’t just an act—it was a weapon.
Miki hated it. Or so she told herself.
She turned to leave, but his voice stopped her.
He smiled—a small, real smile. “Maybe. But I’m your idiot, if you want.” Mihama Miki - A Devilish Sex Appeal- An I Cup H...
His name was Kaito, the new producer. Unlike the previous producer who doted on her every whim, Kaito was calm, professional, and infuriatingly immune to her charms. He would praise her technical perfection, her pitch, her dance moves, but never once did he blush or stumble over his words when she leaned in close. He treated her like a masterpiece in a museum—admired from a distance, never touched.
And in that backstage hallway, with the ghost of her devilish costume still clinging to her, Mihama Miki finally stopped running. She leaned into him, resting her forehead against his chest, and for the first time in years, she didn’t need to charm, manipulate, or perform.
“One condition,” she said, her voice soft but with a hint of her old fire. “When I’m on stage, I get to be the devil. But off stage…” She squeezed his fingers. “You have to promise to see me . Not the appeal. Just Miki.” The night of the Halloween Live was always
“Your devilish appeal,” he said quietly, “isn’t what makes you special. It’s the scared, lonely girl underneath who learned that the only way to make people stay was to be irresistible. I don’t want to be seduced, Miki. I want to be trusted.”
The hallway felt silent, even with the distant roar of the crowd. Miki’s throat tightened. No one had ever said that before. Her whole life, she’d used charm like a shield—first to survive, then to win, then just out of habit. But Kaito had just reached past the shield and touched the soft, unarmored part of her.
She froze. Slowly, she looked over her shoulder. Kaito had set down his clipboard. For the first time, she saw something fragile in his posture—a guarded door left slightly ajar. She turned to leave, but his voice stopped her
For a split second, the mask cracked. Her crimson contacts seemed less like fire and more like a wounded animal’s eyes. She snatched her hand back, her usual smirk wavering. “You’re no fun.”
Kaito lifted her hand to his lips and pressed a gentle kiss to her knuckles. “That was always the deal. You just never let anyone close enough to keep it.”
“You’re an idiot,” she whispered, her voice trembling. “A stupid, honest, idiot producer.”
