Chapter 2
Kyoko stepped into the car she was provided through LME along with the manager for her safety." kyoko chan you did a very good work today and your schedule is clear from now for today, so you can go home if you like." Shino said turning towards her from the driving seat to get an answer.
"ok then we'll do that but before that I was thinking of visiting darumaya before heading home as you know it's been 3 weeks since I moved to my new apartment, I feel obliged to meet them once in a while as I am missing them." She said clasping her hands in anxiety then leaving a sigh and then turning to face out through the window. Her eyes were searching someone in the sky with desperation. 'Corn where are you I want to meet you. But I know that's not possible as you happy in your fairy kingdom. Aren't you?'
Meanwhile at the set Tsuruga san just finished his last shot and was out of the dress room after changing. "Why are you having the look like you are gonna die right now and still having the fake smile on your face like you nothing bothers you." yashiro said with a cunning smile.
"What do you mean by that? I don't get it." ren said with daggers in his eyes like it's gonna hit him any moment.
"Well don't try to pretend in front of me. You know that you can't hide anything from me." he said while reaching for the door of the car. "why don't you just call her and just say hi...and then... you know you can just ask her out for a dinner..."he saw the look in Ren's eyes and knew that he was stepping on a bomb.
"I already said that that there's nothing for you to worry about." ren said turning towards the wheel and starting the car then drive onto the road. "but you won't stick your nose to yourself would you now."
There was silence for some minutes and then Ren's face became composed after that sudden outburst of emotions. He then watched Yashiro who was looking out of the window and the turned back his attention to the road. "I...I am sorry. I shouldn't have said that." He saw yashiro look towards him then continued." But do you think that I didn't give a thought to call her even though I have her new number. But the thing is that she herself didn't give me her number."
"But she didn't give you the last time too, but you still called her. So why give so much thought to it. Maybe she might be expecting your call." He said looking confused. Then after a moment he said. "Well you don't have to worry about it ass I have already talked to her manager and asked her to give kyoko chan the information that you want to meet her." Then the car came to a sudden stop with a sound of screeching.
"WHAAAAAT?" ren burst turning towards yashiro." What did you say? You called Shino san. How could you do it, even though you know she hates me god knows for what reason. She does never gonna forward the message." He said angrily and at the same time horrified." Instead she's gonna set a trap so that I could never meet her Kyoko Sama."
"Relax do you think I am that stupid that I would say that to her directly." Yashiro said calmly and watched Ren's expression change from angry to confuse." I got the information from Sawara san that kyoko has got a new job offer, so I just said Shino san that you wanted to see kyoko related to that job, I mean Professionally NOT PERSONALLY." He sat back in his seat relaxed and continued" And then she agreed as it was a Professional call. You know..." he said half smirking and shining glasses.
"But what am I supposed to help her with, I don't even know what role she's gonna play..." ren said feeling worried by the situation he's gonna face in the future.
"Calm down! You don't really have to think about that just spend the time with her as you ...want... to" he said adjusting his glasses "I'll give you all the information about her new role and just give her some advice as you like, no one's gonna disturb you."
"This is totally absurd! I can't lie to her" said ren facing the road ahead sternly.
"But, but..."he looked shocked.
"There is no 'but'. You are going to call Shino san and inform her to cancel the appointment." he said eyeing Yashiro seriously which said 'no more arguments' "I can't take advantage of her carrier and ruin her life. She would despise me for doing that. If she cares about me just a little bit I know she would be mine some day.
"I am going to wait for that day. And for your concern towards me. I already have her number. But I wanted her to give it to me. Guess I should give her time and understand her feelings." Ren said showing all his feelings clearly in his face like a book. Then he started the car and prepared to drive off before he said at last "don't worry I am not going to give up on her. I am going to meet her tomorrow at her shoot after I am free from mine and" he said smiling and watched yashiro's face relax "ask her to cook for me as a favour."
Then he drove off and yashiro called Shino san to inform her that they won't be able to make it tomorrow and say nothing to kyoko about it.
The next day kyoko was out of her apartment and striding towards Shino San who was in the car. She wore simple blue jeans and a white long top; her hair had grown a bit longer and brushed her shoulders lightly.
"Good morning Shino san" kyoko said in her usual super excited mode while sliding into the front seat of the car.
"A very Good Morning kyoko chan" she said smiling back at her but seemed a bit under the weather.
"What is the matter Shino san is there a problem..."She asked worriedly "or are you not feeling well" she turned towards her and raised her hand to check the body temperature. But Shino protested and saw kyoko becoming ashamed by her action.
"It's nothing like that; you don't have to worry about it." Shino said quickly.
"Then what the matter?" she asked matter-of-factly.
'Should I really tell her what I was thinking? But that call of Yashiro san yesterday is just bothering me somehow he said "and please don't tell kyoko chan about it" it seems fishy. 'She thought watching towards the road while starting the car 'I knew that tsuruga san is a playboy and definitely has an eye on my so pure and innocent kyoko Sama' she thought grudgingly while tightening her grip on the wheel. Then had a glimpse of kyoko who was still watching her curiously
'I think I should just tell her.' She again looked towards the road. "it's just that yesterday I had a call from yashiro san asking to arrange a meeting of you regarding a role" she said seriously then changed her expression slightly "but then suddenly he said that he won't be able to make it and not to inform you".
"Oh is that so..." she turned her head to look outside the window. The rest of the journey went by in silence. 'How am I supposed to contact him, he is after all my senior and find me as a nuisance but...'
Later that day when kyoko was just out of her shoot she called yashiro san "Good evening yashiro san. It's me Kyoko. "
"Yes kyoko chan. Tell me, how did you call me after such a long time, can I help you with something." Yashiro said smiling while walking through the corridor of the LME office.
"Ah! Actually, if it doesn't bother you, I wanted to know at what time Tsuruga san would be free." She said in a sound just above a whisper. "As you know it's been...time , since we have met...of course if he is free and doesn't think of me as a nuisance, and unworthy junior."She was walking in a circle at the parking lot, nervously clutching the cell phone, and thinking 'i knew i shouldn't have called.'
"Kyoko chan, Why are you saying so..." kyoko was not able to hear any further of what yashiro said as someone else took charge of her attention who was tall, charming at all terms, leaning against his car and looking straight into her eyes
"Who said you would be bothering me?" He said while approaching and less than three long graceful strides, one hand all the time in the pocket of his trouser. "I have never been in a situation where my junior is making me to go out of my just to see her and ask for her well-being" he said mockingly still looking at her astonished eyes.
Kyoko couldn't imagine whether she was dreaming or was it real. She took to steps back and then grovelled on the floor chanting "I am really sorry ...Ts ...Tsu...TSURUGA SAN. I am really sorry...sorry..."
