Ren has not felt this exhausted in a long while. He got out a bottle of whiskey, put it back, and instead got a glass of Jack on the rocks. Flashes of Kyoko flooded his mind as he leaned back on the couch shutting his eyes. He could not come in terms with his feelings; she was too young, too pure, too… The flashes of her smile again took over his mind. He was still not willing to admit that he was in love, in love for the first time, or to more accurately said reunited with his first love. His at times irrational behavior, more so his manager pointing out his behavior toward Kyoko was driving him insane. Today again images of Kyoko flooded into his mind as he was acting out an intimate scene. All of the models and actresses now all had the same face, and it was Kyoko's face. He did not have to imagine someone to act, not since he was just a beginner. Taking another sip from his drink, he felt further into despair. What bothered him most was Kyoko's attitude toward him. She saw him only as a coworker, her senior, maybe even a friend, but she continuously made herself clear that it was her job, her duty. He wanted more, much more, but at same time was afraid of what would happen if got what he wanted. He did not want his past revealed, nor did he want to hurt Kyoko with his at times cold attitude. Pouring himself another drink he smiled to himself thinking, it was better this way, if only things could just stay the way they are. But there was a storm coming and he could feel that things were going to change no matter how he struggled against the wind of change.

More and more people were starting to suspect something between Ren and Kyoko, and the sparkling flowerily aura that the 2 of them exerted walking down the halls of the agency did not help. Ren though kind to everyone did not give rides and vouch for every beginner in the agency. He often stated his strong opinion on his confidence in her acting abilities. Rumors that usually did not bother him were close to home and he could not help but feel more pressure on him. Taking a break from a filming of a CM he in gloom sat alone when he saw a happy go lucky chicken squatting in front of him.

"What's wrong today?" said Bo

Giving the chicken one of his blinding smiles Ren said: "Why would you think anything is wrong?"

"I thought we covered this before? I can see through that fake face!" Bo said putting his wings on his waste.

Ren once again covered in black aura dropped his eyes in silence.

"Is there another problem with a script?" Bo asked

"No" Ren said quietly "It's about..." he paused contemplating consulting a chicken regarding his love affairs

"Is it about that high school girl?" Bo asked kidding and shocked at the surprised reaction of Ren. Bo turned around to hold his laughter seeing the childish and embarrassed face that Ren seemed only to show to Bo.

"Did you tell her how you felt?" Bo asked, clearing his throat

"NO! Of course not. Like I said she is too young and, she is my junior and I am not even 100% sure that these feeling are really what you say they are" Ren said defiantly

"I thought we covered this. To make it clearer you are happy when you see her right?"

Ren nodded

"And do you feel embarrassed when you are alone and can not look into her eyes?"

Ren nodded

"Do you get extremely angry when other men approach her?"

Another nod

"Now, last one. Does your heart skip beats when you come close to her or touch her, or maybe imagine touching her"

Ren was red and did not like where the chicken was going with this.

"That is enough, fine lets say its as you say" Ren snapped and giving Bo a puppy dog look eyes asked pleadingly "What should I do?"

"Just confess, I am sure any girl would be more than happy to be yours" Bo said, but Kyoko felt her heart squeeze at the thought of Ren confessing his love to someone.

"I don't know how" Ren whispered

"Then lets practice" Kyoko said without giving it a second thought sitting down besides Ren.

Ren at first having trouble imagining Bo as Kyoko pulled himself together and gently grabbing the chickens wing with the most gentle expression on his face making Kyoko's heart skip left and right said "I like you.." he paused Kyoko's heart was about to burst when Ren finished "Kyoko"
