It's already 3AM in the morning but Kyoko's still wide awake she couldn't get Ren out of her head. She's still feeling fuzzy inside their dance was just so surreal her mind refused to put her to sleep. Her night is a combination of a dream and a nightmare.

"Urgh…" Kyoko shifted pulling the strands of her hair in frustration. Tsuruga Ren has definitely have the charm of an angel but personality of a devil. When she was practically admiring him he said something that made her want to kick herself from even thinking he's a nice guy. "Tsuruga-san is such a jerk!" she exclaimed angrily her voice echoing throughout her room.


Just remembering what he said pissed her off to no end.

"What you like me now?"

"Eh?" Kyoko turned to look up to Ren only to see his teasing smirk up close. The hell?!

Ren scoffed, "Don't tell me you got carried away…"

"W-What are you saying Tsuruga-san?" Kyoko asked having no idea what the older man was saying.

"Those words I said before it was from the script." Ren said with as-the-matter-factly tone on his voice.

"W-What?" Realizing what Ren said her eyes widen in surprise and (humiliation) how can she be so dumb? There's no way Tsuruga Ren will be that 'nice' to her or even say those 'nice word's' to begin with. She's been duped by his fake smile!

"What you don't know?" Ren prodded.

"O-Of course I know about that!" Kyoko bit her lips, there's no way she'll let Ren humiliate her!


The next day the cast of 'Sakura Love' the working title of the film she's in. Once Kyoko finished her greetings to the director and the staffs she was given the script for her to memorise. Of course Ren is also in the same vicinity as her but she's trying her best not to look at the 'devil'. She's way to angry to even acknowledge Tsuruga Ren even though it's rude not to greet a senpai at work. She decided she will give Ren an exemption.

"I will read the scene for the three of you internalize it I want all of you to become one with your character…" Director Musashi went on and on…

After the story conference it's already 7pm when Director Musashi finally dismissed them. For all its worth all Kyoko learnt for today is that after their story conference they will be going to the first location of their film. At Okinawa.


Deep inside Kyoko is super excited since this will be her first time going Okinawa.

Kyoko shook her head, "No no Kyoko get a hold of yourself! You're not going to Okinawa for holiday you're going to be there for work! But still I can't wait…" she squealed inwardly, it's going to be fun! Kyoko didn't know that she was being watch from a far by none other than Tsuruga Ren.

"What an idiot…" Ren thought to himself.

"Ren let's go we need to hurry." Yashiro called out for Ren nodded in return.

"Yeah let's go…" he said leaving the studio with Yashiro in tow.

"This is going to be interesting."

"Did you say something Ren?" Yashiro asked curiously.

"Nope."


"What is that?" Ren said incredulously seeing Kyoko lounging at the window seat hugging her life size 'idol' pillow close to her chest. Somehow the scene is irritating him. "Keep that away." He growled in irritation seeing the face of a red head man who's obviously a foreign NBA basketball player on Kyoko's pillow.

Kyoko took a sharp breath looking away from Ren, "It's not Tsuruga-san's business what I carry…so why should I listen to him." She said to nothing in particular. Who does he think he is telling her what to do?!

Sawara sweatdropped feeling Ren's dark aura surrounding him.

"K-Kyoko-chan…"

"Ren let's go the plane will take off soon." Yashiro nudge for Ren to sit down next to him.

"Fine." Once Ren left Kyoko pull her tongue out childishly to (Ren's back).

"I'm gonna pull that tongue out of your mouth…" Ren said his back still facing Kyoko.

Kyoko frowned, "This is not good…I love working but working with Tsuruga-san? It's a perfect disaster waiting to happen."
