CHAPTER 2: Love Problems

"Bed scenes? Is he serious? How can I do a bed scene with a high school girl? On top of that, it's Mogami-san."

No matter how much Ren refused to do it, Takeda-san just said "There's nothing wrong in that. The president already agreed into it. Actually, he's the one who suggested about the bed scenes, although the thought of putting it into the movie already crossed my mind. Well, isn't it fun? I'm sure you'll do a great job."

Kyoko suddenly stands up then bow in front of Takeda-san "I-I'm sorry Takeda-san! It seems like I can't meet your expectations after all!"

Takeda-san just smile at Kyoko "Ah, I have trust in your skills Mogami-san. I'm sure you can do it."

"But Takeda-san, this is all too sudden. I'm still a…."

"…still a…?"

Kyoko nervously looks at Ren. She sits next to Takeda-san then whispers something in his ear. Takeda-san seemed surprise but then gave a small chuckle. Ren is pretty curious about what they are talking about. What did Kyoko said that she doesn't want Ren to hear?

"Don't worry Mogami-san" Takeda-san said while tapping Kyoko's back "That will not fly away. It's just a thirty seconds scene anyway."

"But…" Kyoko refuses more but Takeda-san stands up then picks up his briefcase.

"Well, time is gold and I still have more things to deal on. I'm glad to meet the two of you. Let's work hard!" Ren shakes his hand and Kyoko gave a bow.

Before Takeda-san leaves, he informs them about the first major meeting of the crews on the upcoming week. Kyoko seems to forget her scene problems for a while because of the sudden excitement she felt. She wonders if she can act alongside with different actors and actresses and expands her world in the showbiz industry. She wants to gain more experience and use it as a guide to become a better actress. Ren suddenly speaks and pulls her out from her reverie.

"I think I might change their mind."

Kyoko didn't answer. She doesn't know what Ren is talking about. He appears to be thinking really hard and she doesn't want to disturb him in case it is something really important. But great curiosity crawls in her. She wonders what Ren could be thinking. After a long pause, which made Kyoko a little bit nervous, Ren finally speaks again "I'll talk to the President. This is unreasonable" And he storms off without even saying goodbye.

"Ren is such a kill joy. See you later." Yashiro-san said quickly and then follows him.

Without anything else to do, Kyoko went straight to the LOVE ME section.

Kanae's still deciding whether she will go first at the meeting (for the offer she recently accepted.) or make her appearance at the LOVE ME section. But before she can make up her mind, she finds herself standing in front of the section's door. It didn't surprise her unlike the earlier months. She grew to love the place even if they have to wear something terrible. Kanae already gave a big thinking about this and she thought that the LOVE ME section exist so that she can learn how to love not only herself but also others. If she can do that, then she will definitely become a great actress.

"I guess habits are hard to change" she mumbles to herself then opens the door.

She found Kyoko sitting at the floor and holding a Ren doll.

"I think I might change their mind." Kyoko said while imitating Ren's voice. "I'll talk to the President. This is unreasonable." And she moves its arms up and down.

"What could he be thinking?"

Kyoko didn't notice her so Kanae snatch the Ren doll and gaze at it. "What are you doing talking to a doll?!"

"Ah! Moko-san! Good morning, I didn't hear the door opens."

She knew it. Something was up with her. Kanae's aware that when Kyoko started to talk to her dolls, she's facing some problems or she's confuse. "What's the matter?" Kanae asked rather rudely.

"Huh?"

"You're not the type to exchange your work for a game of dolls. It only means you're having a problem."

Kyoko gave a huge smile with sparkling eyes "Moko-san! I never knew you know a lot of things about me!" And she jumps off towards Kanae to give her a warm hug. But Kanae stops her.

"Mo! You're so noisy this early in the morning! Don't you have any work?!"

"Of course I have. I just accepted an offer to act as a main character in the movie. Would you believe it? Tsuruga-san will be my opposite character and we're doing flirting scenes, hugging scenes and kiss…" Kyoko suddenly stops and pause for a while. Kanae just stares at her and waits for her to process something in her mind. But she's taking rather too long. "Mo! How long are you going to gaze at me like that?"

Tears suddenly fall from her eyes and she comically cries. "Moko-san! I have a big problem that I just remembered!"

"Just remembered?"

And before she notices it, Kyoko was talking to herself. "What should I do? I can't do something like that. I don't have any experience when it comes to the sacred territory of love. The worst part it, it's on the second stage of love which in my case I've never experience at all. Moko-san! What should I do?!"

"So love is the problem" she thought. "This could be fun."

Kanae suddenly turns around and folded her arms. "Stupid! You're asking me about love problems when we're suffering from the same issues. If you're really confused, just let it out and pour it all to Tsuruga-san."

"Let it out?"

She looks at Kyoko with a smirk "Everything you felt about Tsuruga-san, even the faintest ones, let him feels it. You never know, something new might come out after that. Good Luck." Kanae storms off the room leaving a dumbfounded Kyoko.
