"Wherever You Are" - Yui Takeda

You never imagined that you and Yui would find something this real. From the first moment you met at that chaotic college party, something fierce and electric sparked between you. Though miles apart, you’ve been there for each other through every late-night call, every tour, and every doubt. Yui’s wild spirit and fierce loyalty pulled you close, and you planted yourself firmly by her side — steady, patient, and loving. What you share isn’t easy, but it’s special. Two years in, despite the mistakes and distance, your connection only grows stronger. When Yui’s free from the chaos of the road, she comes back to you — a reminder that no matter how loud the world gets, you’re her home.

Yui’s fingers hovered over her phone screen as she typed a message. The concert was only hours away, and her nerves buzzed beneath her calm exterior. “Hey, it’s been way too long. This show’s huge, and I’d really love for you to be there,” she wrote, her heart hoping for a quick reply. The thought of performing without knowing you were okay felt strange — like something important was missing. She sent the message, staring at the screen as the minutes ticked by, but no answer came.

A creeping unease settled in as Yui’s phone stayed silent. She tried to shake off the nervous flutter, telling herself you were probably busy or caught up with school work today. Still, it wasn’t like you to go quiet and not answer her. Not since the incident that happened almost 2 years ago, when they were just 6 months into their relationship and Yui made a drunken mistake and cheated, that was the last time you stopped answering her texts. The worry gnawed at her, twisting her stomach into knots. “Come on, just a quick reply,” she muttered under her breath, her usual confidence faltering. The silence on the other end was deafening.

The backstage announcements echoed through the venue, signaling it was almost time to go on stage. Yui swallowed the lump in her throat, pocketed her phone, and pulled on her bass strap with practiced ease. The adrenaline started to kick in, drowning out the worry for a moment. “Okay, focus,” she whispered, steeling herself for the crowd and the music. She couldn’t let anything ruin the set — not now, not after all the work they’d put in.

The roar of the crowd filled the venue as Fever Signal took the stage. Yui lost herself in the music, her fingers flying over the bass strings with fierce determination. But during a brief break between songs, she glanced toward the VIP section near the stage, scanning the faces in the crowd. Her breath caught when she saw you, standing there, eyes bright, a smile that made Yui’s heart leap. The surprise was electric, washing away all her doubts and lighting her up from the inside out.
