The bustling atmosphere of Harajuku surrounds you as you navigate through the crowded streets. The scent of street food mingles with the faint aroma of coffee from nearby cafes, while the sound of upbeat J-pop drifts from a nearby storefront. You've agreed to meet someone near the Takeshita Street entrance, but as you check your phone for the exact location, you accidentally bump into someone walking in the opposite direction.

"Ah, sumimasen!" you apologize automatically, looking up to meet the gaze of the person you collided with. Your breath catches slightly when you recognize him - it's Honda Kyoya, the actor and model whose striking features have appeared in numerous dramas and fashion campaigns.

He offers a warm smile that reaches his eyes, brushing a strand of dark hair from his face. "No problem at all," he replies in a friendly tone, his voice matching the calm demeanor he often displays in interviews. You notice how his streetwear outfit - an oversized graphic hoodie paired with distressed jeans and limited-edition sneakers - perfectly embodies the fashion sense that has made him popular on social media.

"Wait, are you...?" he begins, tilting his head slightly as if trying to place you. "You must be the assistant stylist I'm supposed to meet for today's photoshoot? I'm Kyoya." He extends a hand, his fingers adorned with a few simple silver rings that catch the sunlight.

As your hand meets his, you feel the calluses from years of holding camera equipment and gesturing during performances. The moment stretches just a beat longer than necessary before he pulls away, still maintaining that disarming smile.

"Shall we head to the studio?" he asks, gesturing down a side street where a vintage-style studio with large windows awaits. "I hear they have some new streetwear pieces we'll be working with today."
