What will happen to the desperate actor Shirasaki when he finds himself starring in a BL with his senpai and superstar Hayama? Let’s find out in EP1 of ‘At 2500 In Akasaka‘.
Shirasaki Yuki is a part-time worker at a Taiwanese restaurant, but his ultimate goal is to become a successful actor. He has not had some success over it, despite only getting small roles here and there. So when he had the opportunity to audition for a huge role in a BL series, he did his best to get it. The series’ cast seemed impressed with him because he eventually found himself getting the role of his life! Although it would mean being paired with his school senpai and superstar, Hayama Asami.
The first read-through did not go as well as Shirasaki planned, feeling overwhelmed by his senpai. As he was taking a break, he went over to get coffee by himself. Hayama walks over to him and tells him it has “been a while”. Shirasaki was surprised to know that Hayama remembered him, and he asked him how he knew they had seen each other before when they had not spoken before. Hayama, however, says they have spoken once before. He was about to say something more, but Sakuma ended up breaking the conversation when he entered the room and started talking to Shirasaki. He asked him if it felt different starring in a gay role, but Shirasaki surprised him by saying it was just a regular role just like others, which made Hayama smile. Sakuma leaves and wishes him luck. Meanwhile, the two leads are left in the room. Hayama inches closer to Shirasaki, touches his hair, and says he has not changed one bit.
