"A SEQUEL IS A SECOND CHANCE"
By: dontmesspwithme
Fragment: 1
"The one whom I need the most"
"It's been seven years huh… Seven years had passed since that dreadful night that I really don't want to remember. Seven years since that day that his lying ends and he finally admitted the truth. That god-damned truth. SHIT! If I can come back on the time before I fell in love with that bastard. I feel ashamed of myself every time I remembered my idiocy. The way I reacted back then, the way my heart beats every time he was around. I cursed myself for loving him, for believing in him. For those memories that we shared together which I once believed all true. "
Mikan sighed as she sits on her office chair. The whole office is a bit lonely, with pure black and white motif. It's dull. Lifeless as her best friend always points out. She gave no comment whenever she brought out the topic that she always hates.
"Mikan how's your love life? You know I know someone who can give you all you need. Do you want me to set a dinner for you two? ".Every time her bestfriend, Hotaru, ask her the same question over and over again, she always replies that she is busy and had no time for a relationship.
"Oh, I see, you had no time. Or is it because you still love him? And you hated yourself for still feeling that way even though he doesn't give a damn about your stupid feelings, right?" Hotaru always backfire her with those things about the past.
Every time Hotaru mentions her about her stupid past, she can't argue with her because all Hotaru said was true.
The door of her office opens, she notice her best friend, Hotaru Imai. When Hotaru saw her, her eyebrows twitched. As always, Hotaru notices that her best friend's mind, as always is not on earth. So she went to near to Mikan's table to slap her lightly on her face. Mikan was now back to earth.
"Baka, if you're can't get over with it, why did you let him to left you?" Hotaru asks her best friend.
Mikans' lips pressed together as she answered, "Hotaru, why do you always know what I'm thinking? You know, you're like a fortune teller. Teehee.." she half joked.
Hotaru rubbed her temple and said, "Idiot, you're like an open book. And besides, am I not your best friend?".
Mikan smile a little. She stands up from her seat and run toward to Hotaru to hug her but Hotaru just shove her away, AGAIN. As always. It's like their routine.
"Setting that aside, I've got an e-mail from one of my friends, she ask me if you can be the head for their upcoming project." Hotaru said to her blankly.
Upon hearing this, Mikan smiled. And asked with a little bit of curiosity, "Uhm, what's that project all about?".
"She said that they are planning on making an art magazine. She also said that if you're okay with it, you're the one who's going to interview artists and there's also a segment that you'll be observing and tailing the chosen artist a month to know more about the artist and then you're going to publish it." Hotaru said, explaining her whole work.
"ohhh.." Mikan just muttered.
"So it is a yes or a no? Please remember that I don't accept a 'no' for an answer." Hotaru said with a threatening voice.
Mikan gulped and started to speak, "I guess that leaves me no choice. I accept."
A week after, now they are standing at the door of a 15-floored building. As they entered the lobby, the people's attentions were gathered to them, to Mikan and Hotaru. The two are definitely are beauties both are having fair complexions and a body to boast. In fact, they are like models, too bad they weren't. As they entered a room Mikan felt like there was something bad that will happen but she shrugs off that thought, thinking that it was her imagination.
"Good Morning Ms. Sakura. Thanks for accepting our company's offer." A lady with a permed hair said as she bows.
"It's nice to know you." Mikan said to the lady while smiling at her.
"The pleasure's mine. By the way, I'm Sumire Shouda, the head of the planning department. Tobita-san asked me to welcome you here. You will start working tomorrow. Anyways, this year, we're going to make a new magazine about arts. Our team will focus on the theme, 'love'. Like on how artists are expressing their feelings towards their words and to whom their works were dedicated." Sumire said slowly as if trying to make her understand what her saying is.
"Ne Shouda-san, Hotaru told me that in every issue there is a featured artist. Then who is our featured artist for the magazine's first issue?" she asked curiously. Being curious was part of her job. Thats what a journalist is.
"Yes,there is and he is none other than the famous painter that captured everyone's attention. Mr. Natsume Hyuuga. So, you will follow him for a month to observe what he does. His actions, on how he thinks, on how he paints, and his point of view about our theme."
"Okay, I think this would be a piece of cake." Mikan said unconsciously not understanding clearly what Sumire is saying.
It took her a few minutes to finally understand it.
"SHIT'" she muttered.
Natsume Hyuuga, that bastard from her tremendous past? Is destiny's hand is playing her? Why it does have to be him? And before she could react, Sumire left her due to some purposes.
And then she turned to Hotaru who is standing beside her at that time. Silence engulfs them. Then she decided to break the silence.
"Hotaru, this cannot be happening. Why does it have to be him? There are many artists that is more famous than him."
"Mikan, don't run this time. Face it." Hotaru said as she put her hands to her best friend's left shoulder.
This is the day of her first work to that company. As she read her schedule, her eyes widened from what she saw.
"Daily Schedule" (from Monday to Saturday)
08:00 am- making drafts for the presentation
12:00 pm- lunch break
01:00 pm- at the Hyuuga residence
She inhaled deeply and let it out after a few seconds.
After lunch, using her car, she goes to the Hyuuga residence. At first, she hesitated to, but in the end she found herself at the Hyuuga residence's gate.
She pushed the doorbell three times already but she got no response and so she decided to go to the office but when she turned around, she bumped on a tall figure.
Standing, she then look to that figure and he saw him.
Yes, she saw him.
The man from her past.
