"Mom I'm off for work! Love you!" A young man with short silver hair announced to an empty home, with a smile before softly closing the door and exiting.
As the young man left his home and started walking٫ he couldn't help but think that today was going to be a good day. After finding a few plant and wood elementals to take over his shop, he finally has time to go to an interview to be his idols manager... It all seemed so surreal٫ just yesterday it felt like he was taking over his mom store٫ but really its been two years and he finally found some trustable workers to look after his mom's shop for a short while!
The young man suddenly snapped out his thoughts as he felt he'd seen an oddly familiar back.
"Is that my idol Kenji??"
The person he seen was wearing a black hoodie so he couldn't be sure... But since he was also going the same way as his shop he might as well see if it's really his idol, yet after walking for 6 minutes he couldn't tell, what would you expect from a back view of course? So he decided to drop it.
His little green shop was right ahead in a corner near an alleyway, not quite far from his home only a ten minute walk. Its place is quite secluded, but thanks to his mother's hard work, she managed to gain quite a few loyal customer who would fill this place up.
His mother's shop was a plant and tea shop, it sold a small selection of flowering plants, ferns and herbs, all grown and incubated in the shop with a fine quality you can't find anywhere else, it also has a tea area where people go to sit and have tea; the shop had all kinds of tea, with Hibiscus Phoenix tea being the most popular, Made from Phoenix tears and Roselle petals, everyone loved it, the sweet Phoenix Tears mixing with the fruity sour Roselle petals made for a delicious treat in people's mouth! It's Mother's most cherished specialty, only the shop can make.
She really made the shop bloom with her sweet smile and amazing service… Sadly… She…
His thoughts and gloomy atmosphere were once again interrupted as the man in front of him finally turned around.
His blonde hair was flowing out from the hoodie, his face covered with a mask and glasses… Which was all too familiar.
"That hair, the secretive atire… It could only be my idol!" The young mans eyes bloomed as he realized the persons identity, but soon his head was splashed with cold water as he heard the words out of his idols mouth..
"Are you stalking me?"
"Wh-What??" The young man was baffled where did this come from he was just going to work…
"You've been following me for 8 minutes!!" Kenji said irritability.
"N-No! I wouldn't dare! I was just going to work!" The young man shouted with panic…
Kenji looked over this elemental that was stalking him and he couldn't help but think though this stalker looked quite good with his pale white skin, crystals like emerald eyes, round head, medium length silky smooth white silverish hair, and thin 1.75 meter body… Within his slight deep voice and emerald eyes the panic of being caught was written all over his face!
He was just another one of those people who wanted to take advantage of him while outside or maybe even hurt him. Kenji instantly put his guard up. Using an excuse of work was the most used in the book, he couldn't try something else?
"Hmph! Let's see what lying does to you when I get you in court!" Kenji said while walking off, trying to hurry and get away from this stalker, anyway, he committed his face to memory. When he gets back home he would draw it and handle legal action. It seems like he wasn't going to be able to taste the famous Hibiscus Phoenix Tea today.
"Kenji! Wait!" The young man yelled which caught the attention of many…
"Kenji? Is it the idol Kenji!!??" Some random elemental yelled, which caught even more attention.
When Kenji heard this he didn't dare turn around, but there was a dead end ahead what was he to do?
He pulled out his phone and called his head of security and told them his location, and asked them to get a light elemental, because he's probably going to have a bone or two broken...
As he was finishing up his call, people started to catch on and started running towards him like crazy... It was policy not to use techniques and hurt people on a lower level than you, so he couldn't even use his metal element and if he did it could only be some armour, but his armour isn't so strong because he doesn't cultivate.
That's it, starting today, he's going to cultivate his hardest, to protect his safety!
"Dang it, this is all that stalkers fault!" Kenji cursed 3 million times in his heart.
"I'll never forget this!" He gritted his teeth hatefully and stared at the perpetrator.
"Ah!" The perpetrator yelled in a shocked tone as he seen all the people that came running, he was terrified he'd get stamped over. As a plant elemental he's very fragile, he'd probably died being stomped over by this large group of people, but he caused this with his nonsensical yelling…
Thus he mustered up his courage and ran towards Kenji whilst using his power, shooting vines out his palm and wrapping them around all the people in the front and stopping the rest them.
He ran to his restaurant that was right there and threw Kenji in, then he turned to face the crowd and retrieved his vines.
"Sorry, but you can't take him today, nor can you run into this shop and cause any damages or you will be held responsible, there's a camera out here and in there so I'll be sure to pursue legal action against the destructors, so if you aren't coming to buy and instead to see your idol, I recommend you wait until he leaves." He bowed deeply then ran into his shop in a flurry.
When he entered the shop he was breathing and shaking heavily, what just happened was terrifying and he felt like he was about to wilt. He should drink some water instantly before he really does.
He looks around his shop and calms down a little bit, the dark green bricked interior, gave him a calm feeling, he looked straight ahead to see his new worker behind the counter looking at him with a startled and dazed expression.
"Renji, water please."
"Ah! Y-Yes! Of course!" Renji started and rushed through the door that was behind the counter.
Just as the perpetrator was about to walk to the tea section of the shop, to sit down he seemed to remember something and looked down on the ground to see the person he threw there…
"K-Kenji Akamura!" My Idol!
