Summary

He has his life made entirely well for him. He is rich, he is young, he is handsome, he is talented and he is famous. Women flock him. Men envy him. How come there is still something missing?

All her life she only wished to find somebody that will cherish her, somebody who will give her love as much as she does. Is it her fault that she always ends up with bad men?

She liked him because he was a celebrity. He looked at her because she was a friend's friend. There was nothing really special between them. But why is it that until now, they are still in each other's minds? Could she be the one thing missing from his life? Or could he be the man she has always wished for?

Surpise!

Hachi hurried to the restaurant where she and Nana are going to get together. This is the first time since Nana had become a famous singer that they are going to meet again.

It has been six months since they last saw each other. It was a tearful yet happy parting. She is glad that finally, Nana's dream has come true. She was chosen to be the vocalist of a promising punk band and as soon as they debuted, her popularity shot up.

I hope she hasn't change.Hachi thought feeling more nervous as she enters the restaurant. It was a small yet avery nice place. It definitely looks expensive and classy but the best thing about it is it is very secluded. Only a few people were dining at the moment, people who seems rich and important. It was the perfect place for celebrities to go to avoid the paparazzi.

She gave her name to the maître d' and she was escorted to a table for four. Whew… I am not late. She will not forgive herself if she made the newest diva in Japan wait for a mere fan like her. I can't even say that I am still her friend. Hachi thought worrying. But she was the one who arranged for this meeting. That has got to count for something. And with this in mind, Hachi tried to calm herself.

She noticed one famous business tycoon with his associates and a government official with his family inside the restaurant. Will I ever see other celebrities today as well?Hachi wondered feeling more excited.

After she was seated she smoothed her hair and checked her appearance in her compact mirror. She was wearing her usual retro type dress. This style totally brings out the cuteness in her. As she was doing this, she noticed two very handsome men coming in. Her heart began to pound as she recognized who they were. Ren and Takumi of Trapnest! Feeling lucky and feeling more and more thankful of Nana, Hachi took her phone and tried her best to get a snapshot of the two as they were being escorted to their table.I can't believe they came on the same time I am here, lucky!

Trapnest is her favorite band. They are currently the most famous band in Japan. They are very talented and all the members are gorgeous. She has been in love with Takumi ever since she laid eyes on him,with his long silky hair, angelic face yet with a devilish smile and the body, to die for, and of course his talent as a composer and guitarist. He has been the man behind all the great music of their band all this time. Even though she is not really a fan of Ren, she was still happy to see him as well. She couldn't believe that he was this handsome in person. Maybe I will be his fan after all.

Still busy trying to take a photo secretly of the two, she cannot help but notice that they are actually being led to a table very near hers. She would like to kiss the maître d' for doing that. She behaved herself and pretended not to bother. She sipped on her glass as she carefully looked at them. She almost choked on her water when they stopped and sat on her table.

The Gift

As Takumi sat beside Ren in the Limo, he cannot keep his annoyance from showing. He was forcefully taken from his studio, in the middle of his work and was told that he needs to provide fan service for a very important person of Ren's girlfriend. I was on a roll! How can he just interrupt me like that? Takumi light his cigarette, intentionally blowing the smoke towards Ren.

"I know, I know, I'm sorry. I owe you big time Takumi. This is only for a few minutes. Just for you to say hi and maybe give your autograph and that's it. You don't even need to stay for the meal." Ren smiled at Takumi apologetically.

"You dragged me from work, and ask me to be all friendly with a fan for free and you won't even let me have something to eat?" Takumi wanted to throw something at Ren now.

Ren laughed and said "I told you about it two weeks ago. You agreed and that's it. You were the one who said it would be interesting thinking that maybe you can score with this girl. Remember?"

Oh yeah.Him and his damn libido. Oh well, he is getting hungry anyways. It was such a waste that he was making good progress for their new song and he had to stopped abruptly.

"Who is this special person anyway? A relative of Queen Nana or what?" Takumi asked trying to sound amiable.

"She is Nana's, not Queen Nana, previous roommate. Although they've just known each other for less than a year, she says that she has changed her life for the better and she helped her to achieve her dream." Ren explained. "So we are just like Nana's thank you gift to her." He added.

"Fine fine…" Takumi finally stopped sulking and just imagined what this girl would be like. I will let her open me up like a gift if she will pass my taste. Smiling mischievously, he put off his cigarette and put on his sunglasses as he came out of the car.

"Hello Nana, yes, we are here now. Oh, you will be late for 10 minutes? It's ok. We'll go ahead and introduce ourselves then. Yes, yes we will be nice. Ok, see you." Ren closed his mobile and entered the restaurant.

They were greeted by the maître d' and were informed that their guest has arrived.

"Her name is Nana also but my Nana calls her Hachiko." Ren told Takumi. "There she is. Be nice and don't bite!" He added.

After throwing Ren a dirty look, Takumi shifted his gaze at the girl they are about to meet. He cannot really see her face as she was sitting with her back at them. He started to appraise her. From his view, she doesn't look bad.

As they neared her table, he composed himself, put on that devilish smile that girls go crazy about and sat casually on the chair opposite to her.

KMN

The water almost sprayed out of Hachi's mouth when Takumi sat in front of her. She covered her face in embarrassment still coughing nonstop. She couldn't remove the table napkin covering her face to see if Takumi really is in front of her.

Is this a joke? Did the maître d' mess up? What is this?!Hachi's mind is swirling with these questions. As if on cue, a vague answer to all her questions came in the form of hearing her name tinkling from a man's voice. "Nana-chan…"

She sneaked a peek to where she heard her name came was Ren, smiling kindly at her. She stared at him with eyes wide open then she looked at Takumi. Good thing her face was still half covered, if not they would have seen that her mouth was as wide open as her eyes. Before she can further embarrass herself, she heard somebody familiar shouting her name.

"Hachiko! Sorry I'm late. I missed you so much!" Nana hugged her from behind. Then she went to kiss Ren on the lips and Takumi on the cheeks. She doesn't know if her eyes can get any bigger or whether they will just fall off the socket.

Hachi was dumbstruck. She could not comprehend that she was a part of this group. She looked at Nana's familiar smiling face. She felt happiness swelled within her as she noticed that Nana has become more beautifuland looks very happy.

Although she is still confused at the recent events, she got a hold of herself and tried to recover from the shock. She looked at Nana with eyes begging for an explanation. Still, words can't seem to come out of her mouth.

"How are you hachi? You look beautiful by the way. Are you hungry? Let's order. Excuse me?" Nana waved towards the waiter oblivious to what has happened to Hachiand totally forgot to explain why they are with Ren and Takumi.

"Nana, don't you want to introduce us properly to Hachi?" Ren noticed that Hachi needed an explanation. But Nana was busy ordering a bunch of food to the waiter that she completely ignored what Ren just said.

"I am Ren, and this is Takumi. We are friends of Nana. I am actually her boyfriend. And I apologize for my girl's inconsideration. Nice to finally meet you Hachi."Ren explained quickly extending his hand towards her. He cannot take to make Hachi even more self-conscious.

Still in a trance, Hachi accepted his hand. At least she was able to remove the cover from her face. But for sure she still looks stupid. Kill me now. She thought.

To make her feelings worse, she heard a snort of laughter from the other guy. She felt her face become hot. Really, kill me now. The love of my life is in front of me and I just made myself look like a joke to him.

"Nice to meet you Nana-chan." Takumi still wearing that devilish grin winked at her. Ok. I think I just died.

Hooked

This is going to be fun! Takumi felt himself getting excited. This is the first time that he was with an actual fan girl making all this cute expressions.

Looking back, he never or any of his other band mates had an opportunity to actually see closely how their fans react as they don't really go near them. Because they have become popular in just a short time and they are still in demand, they haven't had a chance to hold a fan meeting yet. I should suggest to the management that we should have one soon. He made a mental note. Typical Takumi. Even on break, work is still on his mind.

Actually there are only two things on his mind all the time. Work and Women. Although it is on a 90-10 ratio, at least he is not just all work.

As he was staring at the girl in front of him, blushing uncontrollably under his gaze, he can feel something unfamiliar growing inside him. Whatever it is, he does not want to think of it at the moment. He wants to enjoy this meal as it has started quite interestingly. He can't deny that this girl is too damn cute! He cannot even make himself refer to her as a woman.

As they are having their meal, Queen Nana chattered away about her experiences towards stardom to the cute girl with Ren occasionally laughing lovingly towards her and the girl smiling fondly at her. He is under her mercy. Feeling sorry for Ren, he continued to just stare and smile to the girl they call Hachi.

He was surprised at himself. It was like his charms got turned off and he was not his normal self towards the ladies. Maybe because Queen Nana is too noisy. Maybe I am too tired. He can only manage to smile and look at Hachi. He could not even utter a lame pick up line. Well maybe, she is not my type. He decided on that thought.

Still ignoring the strange feelings he is experiencing towards Hachi, he finished his meal and asked Ren to come out with him for a cigarette. It would give Nana and Hachi also some time alone to catch up. Probably Hachi will be able to talk if he and Ren are not there. They excused themselves and went out.

"Cat got your tongue?" Ren asked Takumi when they were outside.

"What do you mean?" Takumi asked him back.

"You haven't said a word after saying nice to meet you at Hachi. You just stared and smiled stupidly at her. That is so unlike you! Are you really Takumi? Maybe you are just a clone or something." Ren joked.

"Excuse me, I was being courteous and giving Nana and Hachi time to talk. It's not very nice to interrupt them with your Queen hogging all of her time. Besides, you looked more stupid. Hanging at Nana's every word. Blech!" Takumi fired back at him.

"I'm in love. What can I say?" Still smiling Ren put off his cigarette.

"Besides, we are only here for her to look at and maybe just to provide some autographs. No need to be all friendly right?" Takumi was still justifying why he acted dumb all throughout the meal.

Ren noticed that he was distracted. Takumi didn't even flinch when he told him that he is in love. Every time he tells him that he loves Nana and would like to be faithful to her, Takumi always laughs at him and acts all grossed out. Hmm, I wonder. A funny thought playing in Ren's mind.

When they were supposed to go back inside, Nana and Hachi came out.

"We are going to my studio. I would like to show Hachi where I work. You can stay here if you like. We are going ahead ok? I'll see you later" Nana told them and again gave them both a kiss and without waiting for an answer, she yanked Hachi's hand and ran towards her waiting car.

"What the hell is wrong with your woman? I haven't even able to give Hachi my autograph yet!" Takumi said furiously. He kept on and on complaining how obnoxious Nana is and that they weren't able properly say goodbye to Hachi all the way back to their own studio.

Ren just laughed at him. Something is definitely up with Takumi.
