Tsuruga Ren, former artiste of LME and still the most popular male artiste, started his own agency, Kuon Entertainment. His agency basically scouts and accepts talents and conducts training for the talents. Ren is also one of the instructors for the acting classes. Ever since Ren started Kuon Entertainment, he had been working closely with LME by providing them with the talents they need and LME provided a practical workplace for budding artiste from Kuon Entertainment. It may sound risky for LME to do this but Lory trusts Ren's ability in nurturing talents.
Though Ren left LME, it didn't stop him in continuing acting. Being a veteran in acting, he receives invites by different directors and producers to appear in dramas, movies and variety shows. As acting was his passion, it was too much to give up. He continues to accept invites but on a time to time basis because he wants to put in effort in nurturing the future artistes. He believes that in this way, he need not give up on acting and can also give opportunities to people like himself who are passionate in acting.
After a day's work, he was in sitting at his working desk in his own apartment looking through the profiles of newcomers for the different sections of the agency. But after a while, tiredness kicked in and he still couldn't find any talents of good calibre to send to LME for audition of a new drama. He decided to leave it as it is for a moment and went to his modern Japanese style furnished kitchen to get some coffee.
Whenever he walks into this kitchen, he is always reminded of a particular person and this person's face would surface in his head which always made him go into a very dreamy mode. He might look all handsome and composed in front of his co-workers but never did they know that whenever he sees this person, he would smile deep from the heart. Sometimes he acts like a spoiled brat making impossible requests, a demon king who loves to tease or a strict mentor. His former manager, Yashiro knew about it and couldn't believe that only in front of this person would Ren show so many of his real emotions. It is completely different to his acting. It's almost like a different level of acting or hidden emotions. Ren himself do realize this other side of him and keep himself in check. Though Yashiro had mentioned that he could have harboured feelings of love for this person but Ren often just brush it off as feelings of a senpai to a kouhai.
"Ding Dong…. Ding Dong…."
'Who could it be at this hour? It's already 1am.' He walks to the main door and picks up the intercom. 'Oh my god!!'. He couldn't believe his own eyes and ears. It was the person he least expected to see at this hour.
