CHAPTER 1: Something I must have not agreed.

Kyoko's morning started with a very long and odd daze at Sawara-san who seems to be a bit confused of what's happening to the kid. He thought that she will jump in joy once he heard the big offer he received yesterday before he go home. But as soon as he mentioned the name "Tsuruga Ren", he felt the temperature decreasing and somehow, he's seeing scary little creatures behind Kyoko.

"Mo-Mogami-san? Are you alright?"

Kyoko snapped out from her fantasy world and apologized immediately "I'm sorry Sawara-san. I think I just misheard you saying that Tsuruga-san will be the opposite character. Ha ha ha ha, I guess I should start buying a dozen of cotton buds."

Sawara-san got more confused "But Mogami-san, he really is the opposite character of the movie."

There was a sudden pause then Kyoko started acting panic-stricken. "H-How could it be?! Me and Tsuruga-san, no matter how you slice or chop or grill it, it doesn't make any sense!" She drifted again to her fantasy world and leave Sawara-san in a state of 'here-she-goes-again' and 'better-not-disturb-her' situation. "The Almighty Tsuruga Ren, who is the God of the industry of showbiz, can never step to the level of the likes of me!" She leaned on Sawara-san's table with flaming eyes "There must be a big mistake!"

"Mogami-san, you've been in the acting industry for almost a year, and you've already received a lot of offers. Don't you think that you've got to have a lot more confidence?" Sawara-san can't even understand on why does Kyoko is still in denial about her skills. He already saw many actors and actresses passing in front of him, but this is the first time he sees someone like Kyoko. Her determination is what makes her stand out from the rest of them. Sawara-san just gave a small smile and hope that one day, when he offers her something big again (a part with Tsuruga Ren), she would give him a big smile with a "I'm glad to accept it" as a reply.

"Well, it's such a waste to refuse it. By the way, don't you think that you're far too early to refuse offers?"

"Huh?"

"I mean, amateurs like you should give all their best to every work they accept. This could be a big step to fame." Sawara-san thought that it might urge her to accept the offer. After all, Kyoko is still an innocent and humble actress.

With what seems like a realization, Kyoko lend out her arms "I'm sorry for my immature attitude. I'm glad to accept the offer."

"That's more I like it" then he handed the script to Kyoko. "Do your best"

"Hai!"

This morning is quite a surprise for Ren. When he sees Yashiro-san greeting him with a girly smile, he knew that it is something to do with Kyoko. They are waiting for Takeda-san, a director for a new movie that he would part, in the lobby since Takeda-san insisted on meeting Ren on personal. They were about thirty minutes early on arrival so Ren ordered a cup of coffee and started flipping on the latest magazine, just to avoid his gaze on that girly smile of Yashiro-san. Unfortunately, Yashiro-san won't budge away from the topic so he started it with a tease.

"Oh look!" Ren didn't avert his gaze. He knew he wanted to have a chance to open the topic about his love life (which he never wanted from the start). Yashiro-san saw that Ren wasn't affected so he point on Ren's left direction and gave a smirk "Isn't that Fuwa Sho pulling the poor Kyoko-chan out from LME?"

Ren abruptly looked at the entrance and saw no sign neither of his arch nemesis nor his potential love interest. He gave a deep sigh then gaze at Yashiro-san with what seems like an annoying eyes. "Yashiro-san, how can you start my morning with that kind of prank?"

Yashiro-san pouted "But it's no fun when you won't talk with me about your personal life, so I have no choice but to open it up by myself."

"Don't you think it is rather rude to talk about some sensitive topic?"

"Not really" Ren already knew that this is Yashiro-san's favorite past time. He already wished that Takeda-san would come earlier than the appointed meeting. Yashiro-san leaned closer to Ren "So, what did you get from Kyoko?"

"What do you mean?" Ren said with an obvious playing safe smile.

"Playing innocent huh? I never forget about the package you received from her. When did you have it?" This is what he hates the most when they already start talking; Yashiro-san asks even the tiniest detail about his love life. Doesn't he even notice that it makes him all embarrassed when he talks something like that? Ren flips again the magazine to hide his embarrassment. "How can you be so sure that I already have it?"

"Oh! I remember one day, seeing the almighty Tsuruga Ren staring in a daze with a lovely smile while murmuring…what was it again? Kyo-ko?"

Ren flinch from his seat then bury his head on the magazine. Yashiro-san laughs "You see! Your face is easy to read when it comes to Kyoko-chan."

Just when Ren decided to defend himself, a greeting interrupted them. "Ah! It's nice to see you in personal, Tsuruga Ren."

Takeda-san is walking towards them. He didn't imagine Takeda-san as a chubby old man with a bald head. Takeda-san sat on a sofa opposite of Ren and then they shake hands. "You probably know who I am."

"Of course, even though it is the first time meeting you, your name is frequently heard on the industry." Ren said with a gentle smile.

"So, as we talked on the phone, I'm here to discuss to you about the role you're going to play in my movie. Yashiro-san and I already talked about this and he automatically agreed on it without further information. The last thing I needed is your approval."

"So Yashiro-san knows about it" Ren thought. He suddenly feels nervous. An abrupt acceptance is something normal, but along with those girly smiles, something must be happening.

"There will be no problem about my approval. I'm grateful to accept the role. Yashiro-san told me about the few details of the character I'm playing." Ren gets his cup of coffee then sips a couple.

"Oh! So Yashiro-san already told you. That's good. I think being a third party suits you, especially when your partner is playing a role of a fierce attitude woman but with a soft heart towards you. It will be perfect!" Takeda-san laugh and they both join in.

Ren suddenly remembers something "By the way, which's going to act as my partner?"

Takeda-san looks at Yashiro-san with a confused face "What? Yashiro-san didn't tell you?"

Yashiro-san abruptly defended himself "I think it will be better if you will tell him."

Takeda-san just smile, but Ren thinks something is really odd. "Don't worry, she may be a newbie, but I definitely like her skills when it comes to playing a fierce role."

Oh no! Ren thought.

"Your partner is also part of LME, Mogami Kyoko"

Kyoko holds the script in her trembling hands. She doesn't know how to react on this, but she must be glad that her goal will finally be reached. She swears on herself that one day, she will act along side with Tsuruga Ren, and show him her skills. She wanted to be known as an actress with the same level as him. She rode the elevator and presses the one button. While waiting to reach the first floor, she suddenly realizes that the role that she will be playing will be a married woman who will meet a new guy whom she will fall deeply in love. "A third party huh?" she thought. "I've never acted romance before, but I guessed it will not be mainly shown since the main topic of the movie is getting revenge on his husband. Revenge? How nostalgic."

When the elevator door opens, she walks out and stopped when she saw Tsuruga-san talking with a chubby man. She suddenly feels nervous. How should she greet him? It suddenly became awkward talking to him. She decided on passing them, but the chubby man saw her and called her "Ah! Mogami-san! What a good timing. Come and join us."

Kyoko looked at them nervously "Ah…G-Good-morning"

"This must be the director"

Kyoko sits beside Takeda-san while placing the script on her lap.

"I see, so you already agreed on to it. Since the two of you are already here, I might as well tell you about the few changes I add on some scenes."

"Like what? Yashiro-san asked confusedly.

"Let's see…Kissing scenes."

"Kissing scenes?!" Kyoko can't believe what she heard. She's going to kiss the soft and gentle lips of Tsuruga Ren?

"There are also hugging scenes, flirting scenes and…ah! Before I forgot the most exciting part…" and Takeda-san smiled "Bed scenes."

"WHAT?!" both Ren and Kyoko shouted.

Having the two of them as main characters on a movie is already up to my head for about five months. I've already write it. I hope you will continue the next chapter. Tnx for reading =)
