when i think of “love like you” by rebecca sugar, i usually think of kiribaku, but i just listened to it and i couldn’t help thinking of bakugou and kariage! it’s such a lovely song!!
(the way you made bakugou and kariage my otp even though kariage is barely even a character shajdhsj)
!!! OMG, I’ve never heard of that song but now that you mention it - thinking noises intensify. It is a really cute song!! Not my usual genre, but I love how it sounds!!
Also asdfghjk yeah, to be honest, it’s kinda my goal right now to get as many people as possible interested in them so there’s a surplus of content because I need it <33 But, yeah, it is the woe of,,, what would we be considered? Rarepair shippers?? Crackshippers?? boTH?? regardLESS, yeah, I mean I feel like I simultaneously doomed and blessed myself from the start by hyperfixating on this one (1) character with no name and less than like,, 3 mins or screentime, if that. But, there’s nothing I can do about it now!! I’m in to deep.
Thanks for the support <33
breathes heavily Oh my God, they are just?? so?? freaking adorable??
The way Katsuki lets Kariage get so close and the fact that Kari has his eyes on Katsuki in both pictures?? I don’t know how to describe it,,, but you can practically see how Katsuki is just the center of his universe in those two moments?? And how Katsuki’s trying his best to make it seem like he personally doesn’t care if Kari’s there or not, but he’s still letting him close?? 😭 I love them so freaking muchhh.
Anyways, I’m pretty sure that’s what I’m trying to convey!! Also, this is maybe kinda off topic, but I really like how you draw their hair?? Katsuki’s is so perfectly spikey and Kari’s messy hair is just too adorable <33

Seika’s Quirk is called Cyan Spiral. It’s an Emitter-type Quirk that lets her create fast-moving, flexible spirals of blue-tinted condensed air starting from her shoulders going outward. However, as her Quirk affects the pressure, movement, and quality of the air around her, she has trouble breathing while using it.
Seika is a very sweet and academically smart girl. While social situations tend to fluster and confuse her, she's able to discern emotions of the people closest to her very well, often being one of the first to notice if one of the Katsucrew is feeling off. She's also a loving girl, going out of her way to cheer people up and also being one to appreciate the little things in life.
However, Seika is also fiercely protective of the Katsucrew and her little sister, wanting nothing bad to happen to them. She learned martial arts in middle school and how to incorperate her knowledge of plant life into medicinal studies for the sole purpose of protecting and helping others. This is also indicative of how determined she is, as Seika does all she can to further her Rescue Hero studies, so she can be one of the best.
Partner(s)
Kate Mito is Seika’s girlfriend. The two are childhood friends and have been together since the second-to-last year of elementary school. They love the other very much and spend as much time together as possible, often spending hours testing out support gear and baking together.
Shioawa Henshuu is Seika’s queerplatonic partner. They met in the first year of junior high and became very close friends. The two now attend the same Hero school, training for hours afterschool to help each other better their techniques and studying together.
Family
Daikikou Itsuyo (大輝煌厳与) is Seika’s mother. She’s a rather strict woman, often criticizing Seika’s grades, relationships, and aspirations. However, she does love her daughter, just not in a traditional way that’s shown outright.
Daikikou Bennosuke (大輝煌勉之助) is Seika’s father. He’s a hardworking man that isn’t often home as a result of being employed at a top Hero Agency in Hokkaido. However, he loves his children greatly, calling Seika and her siblings at least twice a week and setting aside time to visit once a month.
Daikikou Tomo (大輝煌登喪) is Seika’s older brother. She doesn’t know much of him, since he’s worked overseas as a Hero in America since she was young, but she admires him greatly from the stories her parents tell of him.
Daikikou Iru (大輝煌威瑠) is Seika’s little sister. She’s a demanding yet loveable kid that loves to bake and garden with Seika, have playdates with Kanji, and read the fantasy, botanical, and baking books Seika keeps stacked around her room.
Friends
Bakugou Katsuki is one of Seika’s best friends. They knew each other since they were kids, having lived in the same area, but didn’t become friends until the last year of elementary school. They share an intense love for Heroics, and both enjoy hiking, making food together, and training on the weekends.
Agei Ashikari, or Kariage, is one of Seika’s best friends. It took some time for the two to really become close on account of their wildly different personalities, but once they clicked, nothing could keep them from being friends. The two share a love for the least appreciated parts of Heroics, often pairing up together in school along with Henshuu.
Dehisa Yasushi is one of Seika’s friends. While they don’t have all that much in common, they enjoy each other’s unique brand of humor. They have tutoring sessions with the rest of the Katsucrew at least once every week, and Seika often visits the Yasushi family konbini since they, in her words, make the best melonpan.
Obuki Hifue is one of Seika’s friends. As the two of them are the least troublesome of the Katsucrew, they’ve become adept at getting their friends out of trouble and having fun along the way. They bond over their shared social introversion and their love for reading.
Minor Characters
Shou Kazahiko (翔風彦), also known as Buster Hero: Air Jet, the 68th Ranked Pro Hero, is Seika’s Japanese History teacher at Moushou Academy. He’s a rather casual teacher who helps his students as much as he can, making him Seika’s favorite teacher.
Nekoshima Myouou (猫島妙嫗) is Seika’s boss at the cat café she works at. As an older woman, she cares for Seika and the Katsucrew like they’re family, and often offers advice to the struggling teens when they need it. Seika also appreciates the motherly vibe she emanates, as her relationship with her own mother is rather strained.
Ukichirou Takanohashi (鷹嘴烏吉朗) is Seika’s cousin. He attended Aldera Junior High in the same class with Seika. The two share curly hair and rounded eyes but not much else, and neither really wish to have a closer familal relationship to the disappointment of Seika’s mother.
Shinsou Hitoshi is one of Seika’s acquaintances. While they don’t know much about each other, they met when Shinsou wandered into the Black Cat Café on Seika’s shift. The two bonded rather quickly, often teasing each other over their opposing pet preferences and having hours-long conversations over coffee and pastries about Heroics.
asdfGHJKL??? I?? I CAN’T BELIEVE OMG??
Me, broke: oh yeah, Deku’s kinda neutral towards Kariage, and only a little bit jealous about the fact that despite knowing Katsuki for longer, he’ll never be as close to him as Kariage, who’s only known him a fraction of the time, is. However, because he has a good heart, he’s just happy that Katsuki has a good enough friend to be vulnerable with :)))
You, besoke: Oh No, Deku Is 100% Angry, Bitter, Jealous, And Hateful And Kariage Drinks His Tears Of Agony To Fuel His Possessive, Smug, Egotistical Self >:)))
I am a Fool for believing otherwise asdfghjk
Also???? future tattoo artist Kariage?? I am swooning.
Hc that deku hate undercut-kun with all his guts Because even though he is baku's childhood friend, undercut-kun is closer to baku than he is Undercut-kun knows about this so he will show a lot of affection to bakugou (if baku is okay with it) In front of deku while deku is glaring at him But bakugou doesn't know about any of this
Oh God, I love it so much, it has so many delicious elements - jealous/angry Deku, oblivious Bakugou and possessive/smug Kariage. Amazing.
During Middle School Kariage didn’t really notice anything amiss, him and Katsuki weren’t that keen on PDA or even revealing that they were in a relationship so to everyone else it just seemed like they were friends, not even close friends at that since they kept their distance while in public. Kariage often overheard people call them Katsuki’s followers and he couldn’t help but laugh at the title cause to him it was ridiculous. He couldn’t believe that people were so blinded by the front Katsuki put up that they really thought he couldn’t have any real friends. Ridiculous.
But then Katsuki and he go to separate High Schools - UA for Katsuki, of course, and an art school for Kariage - and the lack of PDA still doesn’t bother them.
Until the Sport’s Festival.
Katsuki got a spare ticket and of course he invited his boyfriend and Kariage was more than happy to watch him fight, he knew his Katsuki would win anyways and he wanted to be there and give him a congratulatory kiss when he did.
After the fights started he decided to leave his seat and go find Katsuki; it’s not like he wasn’t used to sneaking around into places he didn’t belong. He just wanted to wish him luck - not in those words, of course, he’d get his damn face blown off if he ever insinuated Katsuki needed stupid shit like luck.
And soon he found the booth Katsuki was in and he was surrounded by the 1A Class.
When he walked in he first saw Katsuki’s face, that adorable little frown was right in place and everyone seemed to be yelling over each other as they talked, seemingly making some stupid comments towards Katsuki. Kariage had no problem interrupting all that bullshit and calling out his name
And like magic, Katsuki’s frown disappeared and his features calmed down as everyone quieted down and watched as Katsuki turned his head while Kariage walked towards him.
“You’re not supposed to be here, dumbass.”
“Yeah, yeah, as if I care.”
And then he leaned in, placing his hand on Katsuki’s cheek and kissed him.
He was pretty sure someone fell of their seat but Kariage just sat down next to him and placed an arm around his shoulder.
With a glance to the side he noticed a pair of curious green eyes on them, those eyes got filled with something... strange, something a bit more angry, when Kariage squeezed Katsuki closer to his side.
Kariage smirked.
Interesting.
It seemed as if after that Kariage saw Midoriya everywhere, he was almost concerned with how frequently he and Katsuki ran into him but he thought nothing of it. He was too busy pulling Katsuki closer and kissing him and revelling in the look of fury crossing Midoriya’s features whenever they saw him, after all.
It was exhilirating. It honestly did wonders for his ego, the fact that this sweet kid was angry that his childhood friend, the most explosive and stubborn person known to man, was letting himself be soft with someone that he’d only known half the amount of years he’d known Midoriya.
Soon he started to make sure Katsuki had his marks on him too, his neck and chest were always covered in hickeys, insuring that everyone, especially Midoriya, will know he’s spoken for.
Once they moved into the dorms (and Kariage stopped panicking whenever he didn’t see Katsuki for more than a day) it was harder for them to see each other but luckily Katsuki managed to get permission to both leave the dorms and have Kariage come visit him.
And so Kariage got the absolute pleasure of talking Katsuki into joining a movie night - a thing he’d never joined before - with minimal grumbling and then they took up a corner of the couch where Katsuki practically sat in his lap during the whole thing before finally falling asleep on his chest, his hand gripping Kariage’s hoodie and his face lax and completely calm; beautiful as always.
He looked up at that moment, watching as Midoriya lifted his jealous gaze from Katsuki’s face to Kariage’s. And as their eyes met Kariage smirked, leaning in close and pressing a kiss to Katsuki’s forehead before he winked.
He had to bite his lip to hold in a burst of laughter at the expression on Midoriya’s face.
Fucking amazing.
I’ve talked about this before on Bunny’s server even before I posted the art I did of Seika, but this is 100% her. Separately, each part of any of her outfits could be considered decent - pretty, even!! However, Seika can and will combine 300 different prints and patterns to create the ugliest fucking outfit ever and she’ll proudly wear it.
Mito adores her girlfriend’s ugly clothes and Kanji loves the bright colors and flower patterns. Kariage honestly finds her fashion sense hilarious, but Katsuki positively vibrates with lividity every time he has to see her eyesore outfits and would 100% set them on fire given the chance.
Honestly I love ironically ugly clothes. Like. Hideous in a special way. If it’s not inherently hideous I’ll match it until it is.
I love your characters they are ♥ So what if... What if the class learns 'bout the bullying stuff and they turn away from Katsuki. He's not well after weeks of being ignored by teachers and badtreated by his classmates, Deku is trying to help but he can only do so much. He's struggling to be himself and the Katscrew notice, they notice how much more quiet he's being, and the 2 in UA notice the strange behavior in everyonelse. The final straw is Kat crying his eyes out with Kariage maybe?
Okay, so this is somewhat related to this ask, but I’d 100% be lying if I said I didn’t have a Spiteful (@lawgrain) AU with the Katsucrew 👀
Obviously, considering the story isn’t finished yet and I’ve got a very one-sided view of what’s happening in the fic, the concept’s not fully fleshed out, but it has some very general ideas, of course.
Karaige, Seika, and Henshuu are the first to figure out something’s not quite right. After all, Kariage’s the closest to Katsuki and both Seika and Henshuu are the two in the group who have the best grasp on the emotional situations in the crew. Everyone, even little Kanji, know that Mitsuki and Masaru aren’t the greatest of parents - Mitsuki is abusive in so many ways and Masaru never actually stops it - but this is something else.
Before whatever happened, Katsuki constantly regaled the crew with stories of what happened at UA - the training, the lessons, even the shenanigans that 1A got up to. Then, one day, the stories all but stopped. Katsuki stopped bringing up how Aizawa-sensei was a great teacher who pushed him to his limits, how Shitty Hair and Round Face were awesome sparring parents, how Katsuki was one of the best in all his classes. Now, he barely mentions UA at all, until he starts bringing up a girl named Hatsume.
“She’s crazy as fuck,” Katsuki tells him. “But she’s real.”
It’s subtle, but they know what he means by it. He means that she’s honest with her intentions, doesn’t hide her bad side, but she’s good nonetheless.
It’s only a matter of days when the truth about what’s happening really comes out. It’s not purposeful in any way at all, but Katsuki comes to the Warehouse, pure rage in his eyes as he paces around where the crew is sitting and he launches into a rant about how one his idiotic teachers, Ectoplasm, is fucking with his assignments and grades just to see him fail.
After that, the crew unanimously decided to help.
At the infamous lunch table, Hifue and Mito start sitting with him. They talk and laugh and mess around, not caring about the hateful and confused glares being thrown their way. Mito walks him to his classes, subtly snarking the Hero students that try and trip or shove Katsuki, and Hifue tells him about a plethora of places in UA that could serve as a place he could relax and avoid people in.
Hatsume is there to validate what Katsuki’s going through. She doesn’t defend what he did in middle school, thank God, but she’s there to tells him that what’s happening is wrong. She’s one of the first to tell him that the useless teachers who don’t bother to look further are worms, the one to snarkily deny doing repairs or upgrades on his classmate’s costumes. She’s there to call his mother a hag.
Henshuu’s there when he needs to take his anger out productively. She brings him to the gym she frequents, the one her papá owns, and she holds the punching bags still, and watches as he lifts dumbbells until his arms shake, and spars with him until they can do nothing but flop onto their backs with heaving chests.
Seika, Kanji and Yasushi are there when he needs to relax. They bring him around Musutafu and Tokyo and practically make him have fun. They drag him around newly-opened restaurants at night and fast food places in the early morning, take him to arcades and festivals and the movies, make him tag along as they visit owl cafés and karaoke bars and parks. They make him smile.
And, Kariage? He’s there when Katsuki needs to let go. He’s the one Katsuki turns to when everything gets a little too much, when his mother bruises his cheek and someone calls him a villain one too many times and he gets another bad mark on a perfect assignment. He’s the one Katsuki turns to when he needs to cry, because Kariage won’t make fun of him - he’ll hold him for hours, whisper hundreds of words of affirmation, kiss away his tears.
And, no matter what Deku does or says or tries, the class and teachers will always hate him. If Katsuki didn’t have his crew or Hatsume, maybe it would’ve gotten to him more. But, with them, the situation’s not good, but it’s - it’s better. He can live with it easier, because he’s strong, but the people who love him make him stronger, and that’s all that really matters in the end.
Hey!! This hurts! :D
No, but, seriously, I love this. Like, I’ve always really loved the concept of Person A getting into a relationship with Person B, but all of Person A’s friends/family don’t like Person B for some reason, because it is prime angst material. After all, who wants to chose between a lover and friends/family - they’re all people you love, just in different ways, but it hurts that none of them can get along for reasons you can’t understand.
And, the class not being the ones to like Kariage? Perfection. I love it. Just, the fact that the kids are Heroes-in-training, people who’re supposed to be the epitome of good, and yet they still make mistakes. They see Kari, in all his delinquent-esque self, with his cigarettes and piercings, and they immediately don’t like him, don’t even think to look past that to see his true, kind and funny nature. Add in their jealously from just how close Katsuki is to this two-bit thug, and you’ve got some serious animosity that they don’t even bother to try and hide.
And, oh my gosh, when Kirishima was the ome to overhear Kariage comforting Katsuki? Boom, my heart was hurting. Because, Kiri was supposed to be one of Katsuki’s friends, how didn’t he realize that he was hurting him?
But, I just love how the class, after hearing what happened from Kiri, make efforts to change their ways. They give Kariage a chance, and, yeah, he’s an absolute asshole, but he’s also funny and kind and he loved Katsuki so fucking much, and that’s something they all share with Kariage.
And him being best friends with Shinsou and Tokoyami (and, maybe Jirou to complete to Goth Squad 👀) is absolute gold, I freaking adore it.
📂 do you have anymore headcanons with kariage x bakugou? (preferably involving class 1-A but i’d be fine with anything) i love everything you write!!💗💗
Thank you so much sweetheart! x
The first time Kariage met the class they didn’t really like him. They kind of respected him for the way he could calm Katsuki down but the feelings of jealousy inside of them made it almost impossible to see just how kind and genuine he was. Along with that, they just didn’t think he was good for Katsuki’s image. The guy just looked like an absolute dickhead, and he fucking smoked, for gods sake.
Their animosity disappeared the moment they overheard Katsuki talking to Kariage about it, though.
It was Kirishima that heard them. Kariage was staying in the dorms for the night and Kirishima was just walking downstairs to get something to drink, but just as he was about to turn the corner and step into the common room he heard some sniffles and a deep, raspy voice.
“Come on, babe, you’re worryin’ ‘bout this way more than I am.”
“Shut the fuck up, it’s stupid, I know, but I just want you all to get along, I’m fucking tired of everyone talking shit about you everywhere we go and I’m tired of the looks and the way everyone’s arguing.”
“You’re too sweet, baby, just ignore ‘em.”
Kirishima ignored the sound of kisses being pressed against Katsuki’s face and he just went back to his room and sent a message after making a groupchat without Katsuki in it.
Guys, we fucked up.
After telling them what he heard the class changed immediately, they realized they’ve been absolute assholes and completely inconsiderate. They start to spend more time with Kariage, getting to know him and hanging out with him and straight away they fall in love with the guy. He’s a bit of a dick sometimes, sarcastic and with a dry sense of humour, but every time he talks about Katsuki his eyes light up and he gets this sappy smile on his face and they can’t dislike him after seeing that.
The person he gets along the best with is Tokoyami though, and later on Shinsou. They get together and revel in their goth/emo/punk aesthetics.
I just wanna thank you so much. Undercut-kun and the other childhood friends are so underrated because people don't realize it's beauty. Thank you for bringing awareness to this. I love you and your content.
AHH omg you’re so nice!! Yeah, honestly, this whole ‘verse just came about because I wanted Katsuki to have a childhood friend turned boyfriend in a story i was outlining, but Deku just wasn’t fitting in right, you know? And I remembered some of pyrrhicwildfire’s stuff on Twitter and I got curious. Before long, I was scouring everywhere I could for content, but I couldn’t find all that much!!
Then, when rewatching the first two episodes, I noticed some interesting character designs in Katsuki’s middle school class and thought that, if Katsuki could have a boyfriend from middle school, why not a bunch of friends?
Honestly, I’m just really excited to start writing the actual series, as I’m planning on (hopefully) having at least five stories for the official ‘verse with at least four spin-off AUs.
Also, I appreciate your love for this ‘verse!! It makes me happy that people enjoy my content that much <33
Hello!! This is the info page for my Undercut-Verse, an AU created to support my personal HC that Bakugou had friends (and a boyfriend) at his junior high before getting to UA. It also gives me a valid reason to give Bakugou the love and support he needs and deserves.
Characters
Other than Bakugou, the main characters in this ‘verse are who I collectively call the Katsucrew or the Aldera Gang. There are seven of them, all of which I named and created character profiles for:
Agei Ashikari (安芸芦狩), also known as Undercut/Kariage-kun by Japanese fans, is Bakugou’s boyfriend. He’s attending a lesser known Hero school with three of the other main characters and has the Quirk: Smoke.
Agei Kanji (安芸完志) is Kariage’s little half-sister and Bakugou’s honorary baby sister. She eventually becomes best friends with Eri and has the Quirk: Temperature Manipulation.
Dehisa Yasushi (出久や舒沙) is one of Bakugou’s friends from junior high. He’s enrolled at a normal high school and has the Quirk: Finger Elongation.
Daikikou Seika (大輝煌青渦) is one of Bakugou’s friends from junior high. She attends the same Hero school as Kariage and has the Quirk: Cyan Spiral.
Kate Mito (火手美橙) is one of Bakugou’s friends from junior high. She’s enrolled in the Department of Support at UA and has the Quirk: Fire Arm.
Obuki Hifue (小浮気一二栄) is one of Bakugou’s friends from junior high. She’s enrolled in the Department of Business at UA and has the Quirk: Small-Scale Telekinesis.
Shioawa Henshuu (塩泡編集) is one of Bakugou’s friends from junior high. She attends the same Hero school as Kariage and has the Quirk: Bubble.
Settings
Besides Aldera Junior High, UA High School, and the various households of the Katsucrew, there are other places that have a prominent presence in this AU. These locations are:
Moushou Academy (猛将学校), the lesser known Hero school that Kariage, Seika, and Henshuu attend, located just inside Musutafu.
Black Cat Café (黒猫喫茶店), the cat café where Seika is employed and the Katsucrew often visit to relax or study.
Dehisa Family Store (出久家族店), the family-owned konbini where Yasushi and his parents work.
Shinpi’s Noodle Shop (神秘饂飩屋), the hole-in-the-wall ramen shop where Kariage works and the crew meet up to celebrate or cheer up.
The Warehouse Roof (庫屋根), the roof of an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Musutafu that serves as the Katsucrew’s official hangout spot.
Kosetsu Kindergarten (古拙幼稚園), the quaint kindergarten that Kanji attends, located right between UA and Moushou Academy.
WOW, so I finally got around to rereading this and lemme tell you,, it is just as painful as the first time you talked about this concept on Discord. Like?? Wow, Gab, really tearing my heart to shreds here.
ANYways, yeah this is just?? So supremely sad, to be honest. There’s just something so depressing about reading stories and concepts where characters dying preventable deaths, and all I can think of is the build up to this, you know? How many times Katsuki must’ve asked, told, pleaded for Kari to give up his habit, only to have Kari laugh and tell him it’s not that serious as he lights up another cigarette, as his voice gets deep and scratchy, as he gains a cough that never really goes away, until he can barely breathe after a few steps and can’t laugh unless he wants to pass out.
Then, Kari gets the diagnosis and there’s,, there’s nothing they can do. No medicine is working, it’s too far along, they’re not given hope - they’re given a time limit. Maybe Katsuki’s mad, at first. After all, he told Kari time after time after time, looking out the corner of his eye as Kari smoked, breath raspy and fingers shaking: That’s gonna be the death of you.
He wished he wasn’t right, for once in his fucking life.
Kari dies and takes some part of Katsuki with him, some integral, important part of Katsuki that lets him feel, lets him live. It’s buried alongside Kari in a casket that won’t ever open, and Katsuki maybe feels a little like he, too, died.
But his heart still beats and his lungs still breathe and his stomach still grumbles, and Katsuki feels like his body has betrayed him. Because how can he still be alive, when the one person who actually saw him is gone, buried six feet under, never to be seen again, never to laugh or cry or love again?
Katsuki’s alive, but it doesn’t feel like it. Not when the colors he sees are dull, and he feels rooted to solid ground. Even when he becomes the Number One Hero, people cheering out all around him, he can’t muster up a smile, can barely mutter through a scripted speech before he’s beating it. He sits a home, dressed in his half-done up Hero Costume, and thinks about how he’d give it all up for Kari. He’d stop being a Hero, leave the people who call themselves his friends and family, shed his name and every aspect of his identity just to have a chance to talk to Kari even once.
But the real world doesn’t work that way, and he wakes the next day and continues the constant cycle of sorrow.
Anyways, yeah this broke my heart, hehe </3
[ original content, do NOT steal, i will write this ]
Kariage dies from lung cancer due to his smoking habits during Bakugou’s 2nd year and fuck, Bakugou knew this was coming, knew that it’ll be sooner that later but he still can’t wrap his mind around loosing one of the people that cared about him. (Bakugou cares about a lot of people, though they seldom care about him too).
Sometimes when he sees a cigarette bud on the street, he can’t help think about how they’re the reason he lost the one person in his life he truly loved. When he smells smoke, they bring tears in his eyes and his throat instantly gets tight because it smells so much like Kariage, it’s like he’s there beside him again. But that’s just it right? That smoke is the reason he’s gone. Funny how that works.
He can’t bring himself to wear the color black anymore because it reminded him of their high school sweetheart days and suddenly he feels numb, feels nothing because the love of his life isn’t there to watch him grow as a hero and as a person (like Kariage said he would). Can’t bring himself to sneak out of U.A. no matter how much he wants to because that used to be their secret thing. When he becomes number one hero, sure he’s proud he’s made it, he worked and bled for this. But the one person that supported him since day one wasn’t there to watch the stars with him until sunrise that night. He thought the day he’ll reach number one will be the best day of his life, but it’s not. Not without him, the only person that mattered. He realizes after everything that his greatest goal in life wasn’t victory, because he was already a winner with Kariage.
And now he isn’t.
