I was having a great day. Really. I got through to the third round which is great. Then I got a question about my secret relationship instead of my tennis, when exiting the courts. I didn't have any idea what was happening, honestly. You can see my shocked face on live TV. Then I was shoved this article by my manager afterwards.

Yukimura Seiichi has been taken?
The prolific tennis player, currently number 6 in the world tennis rankings after a long hiatus, who is openly gay has been sighted in Japan with an unknown person, holding hands and kissing in the Botanical Gardens. This raises the question for how long has this secret relationship being going on and who exactly is this mystery man?

The article goes on for ages with speculations and interviews with people I've never really exchanged more than a few words with, but they have pictures of Shiraishi and I. Which is...exactly what I didn't need right now. Thanks a bunch, media. Here comes the hate-mail from the people who forgot I was gay and the screams of despair from the fangirls and fanboys.



Didn't we get rid of those pictures? What happened? How do I even react to this? I'm worried for you, Kura. All it means for me is a lot of annoyance and trouble, what does it mean for you? Call me. Or send a message back here.

I feel your pain. If you ever need to rant about media spreading lies about you, just knock on our door, or call. Stuff the hate mail down their throat to choke them. At least the paper won't be wasted then. That's what I always imagine I'm doing when I feel like killing someone. The amount of shit (and I apologize for the language, but I prefer to call things by their right name) they are so full of and produce so happily is brainbreaking.

I'm sorry you have to go through that. How's Shiraishi taking it? I'm asking because awhile ago he confided in me that he was worried something like this would happen and I know how stubborn he can get. I really don't want to seem like I'm interferring with anyone's business, but if you need help, of any kind, or Shiraishi needs his ass kicked...

The media should know better than to disturb the players at such a crucial time. The US Open is supposed to be about tennis.
