"Uhh..."
"Ace is shy! Look at him!" Koshi was seated beside the next intro focus, nudging him teasingly. "It's okay, Asahi! You don't have to talk that much just say who you are and what you do."
Daichi was also in the shot, leaning behind the couch.
"I mean, it'll be over quicker once you get it over with, right?"
"I don't know, hyung... It's awkward."
Asahi was clearly bigger than Daichi and Koshi, but he appeared to be a great deal more timid than them. The two parental figures of the idol group looked at each before sighing. They both knew how hard it was to pull Asahi out of his shell. It was honestly surprising to many, he was one of the members with the strongest stage presence.
Koshi smiled, putting an arm around Asahi. He was surprised, leaning away from the older one only to be caught in Daichi's arms as well.
"This is Ace!" Koshi introduced, gesturing to the gentle giant beside him. Asahi covered his face out of embarrassment.
"He's one of KARASUNO's amazing rappers! He may seem shy now but once you watch him on stage, you'll be falling in love! Right, Daichi?"
"You two are embarrassing..."
"Correct! Ace has fantastic rap skills. I personally think he's one of our most charming members. I mean, girls like the rugged handsome look, right? And he's real sweet."
"Right!"
Asahi groaned, letting his hands drop to his lap. He sighed. That made Koshi and Daichi grin. It was basically a signal that Asahi gave up.
"Okay, okay," Koshi relented, standing up and moving out of camera shot, "we flustered him enough. It's all yours."
Shifting in his seat, Asahi glanced around before his eyes landed back on the camera. He immediately looked away again.
"Uh, I'm sorry," Asahi apologized to the camera, and probably the staff as well, "I'll probably get better at this as time goes on... But I'm not really used to it yet."
The staff behind the cameras and mics silently gestured for him to continue. Asahi nodded and took a deep breath. He waved slightly.
"You probably know by now but, uh, you can just call me Ace... it's my... stage name..." He rubbed his neck before continuing, "I'm a rapper. I'm in the HipHop unit together with two of my other members... I assume you'll meet them later? Right?" Asahi quickly glanced up for confirmation from the staff before looking back at the lens.
"I don't really know what else to say..." He bowed then gently smiled.
"Please take care of me, nice to meet you." The camera caught him quickly holding up a heart with his right hand before ending the shot. Koshi would later tease him for it.
