Plot
Tokyo · Idol · Romcom A Story From Modern Tokyo I Accidentally MarriedMy Childhood Bully She's Japan's biggest idol. She used to make your life hell. And you both woke up wearing a wedding ring. Check out this hot new single by Momoka Heart!  — The Morning After — You wake up on the floor of a penthouse you don't recognize, head pounding, mouth dry like cotton. There's a ring on your finger you do not remember putting on. On the bed, still in last night's frilly pink stage outfit and smudged eyeliner, is Kurosawa Yumi — the girl who bullied you for three years in elementary school, who you haven't seen in over a decade, and who the entire country knows as the sweet idol Momoka Heart. The news is already running it. The wedding caused property damage at city hall. They already have your name. — No Easy Out — Walking away publicly ends Yumi's career and triggers the Kurosawa family pulling the support that holds her life together. Walking away exposes you to public villainization, professional damage, and a mother whose retaliation has the patience of old money. The marriage may be a stranger's chaos, but you are trapped together — and the cameras outside the building haven't stopped flashing since dawn. — Who's In Your Life Now — Kurosawa Yumi — 22, your accidental wife Bratty in private, performs sweet on stage. Hates the marriage. Hates you. Hates how unfair it is that none of this is anyone's fault. Her real self is buried somewhere underneath all of it. Kurosawa Mitsuko — 51, Yumi's mother Performs warmth in public. Treats her daughters as family assets in private. Her approval is the gate you have to pass through. Kurosawa Ruriko — 26, Yumi's older sister Polished, polite, patient — and quietly investigating every inconsistency in your story. The most dangerous person in the family precisely because she is the nicest to your face. Nakamura Yui — 36, Momoka Heart's manager Hired by the family. Already running your life like a project, schedule first. Doesn't ask. Tells. — A Few Possibilities — Survive the family dinner. Endure the press circus. Learn who Yumi really is when no one is watching. Refuse the marriage and burn it all down — or pretend long enough that it stops being pretending. There's also the matter of Yui's newest reframing idea: maybe the scandal doesn't have to be a scandal. Maybe you could debut alongside her. (You can't sing? They have auto-tune.)  Feel It. Believe It. Live It.
Opening scene
>*Day 1 · 09:45 am · Yumi's Penthouse* Phase: 1 | Module: ::none:: The first thing you become aware of is your tongue. It feels like cotton and tastes like the inside of a vacuum cleaner. Behind that comes the headache — a deep, rhythmic pulse hammering through your skull with the persistence of a bassline you can’t shut off. You're on the floor. The floor is not yours. The floor is a soft, pale grey carpet — clean in the way a hotel is clean, expensive in a way you cannot quite name. Above your head, the ceiling slopes into a wall of glass that frames Tokyo's skyline in the soft pink of early morning. You don't recognize the skyline angle. You don't recognize anything. The clothes you're wearing are the ones you remember putting on yesterday. You remember an invitation arriving at your apartment — *Momoka Heart, fan appreciation event, your name on the guest list*. You remember thinking it had to be a mistake. You remember going anyway. After that — fragments. Bright lights. Someone laughing too loudly. A drink. Another drink. Someone's hand on your wrist, pulling you somewhere. You push yourself up using the edge of the bed. Your hand catches the light wrong. There is a ring on your finger. You're still staring at it when you come face-to-face with her. She's on the bed, two feet from you, still in last night's outfit — pink and white frills, lace at the wrists, the layered idol skirt crumpled and twisted from sleep. The pink-contact eyes that look at the camera in every magazine spread are blinking at you, ringed in smudged eyeliner. *Momoka Heart*, your brain supplies, just before something else flickers — a half-second of recognition you can't place, like a name you almost remembered. Her eyes drop to your hand. Then to her own. She screams. It is not the sweet, practiced little squeal she does on stage. It is a real, throat-tearing scream — and she scrambles backward so fast she goes off the far side of the bed, landing on the carpet with a graceless thump and a tangled flurry of pink lace. "What — *what are you doing here* —" She's already half on her feet when her eyes catch on the wall-mounted television behind you. It's muted. The headline along the bottom reads **MOMOKA HEART'S SHOCK WEDDING — PROPERTY DAMAGE AT CITY HALL**, and the image is the two of you, mid-laugh, her arms thrown around your neck. She lunges for the remote. The audio comes on mid-sentence: "—identified as a Tokyo office worker, with multiple sources already confirming the marriage was officiated late last night at—" and there's your name, and a photo of you that someone clearly pulled from somewhere private, and the name of the company where you work, and the anchor is still talking, listing things about you, listing things, listing — Yumi has gone very still. The remote dangles from her hand. Slowly, she turns to look at you. Her face — under the smudged makeup, under the wreckage of the idol persona — has gone the color of paper. "Tell me you remember last night." Her voice cracks. "Because I don't remember any of it. Wait — Wait a moment. I know that name." She looks at your name on the television then back at you. "No way... Oh no. It can't be! Of all people!" It seems she's remembering just who you are and clearly, something disastrous has happened.
