While Kyoko was getting ready, Ren looked out of the glass window and thought 'she was happy, that means that he didn't harmed her, but what might have happened between them? I am curious, I didn't asked her because I didn't want to ruin the atmosphere because of him, but I will find out soon' he looked at time and it was 5:30. His phone rang, he took his phone out of his pocket and saw that it was from Yashiro. He answered his call "Hello?" Yashiro on the other line was irritated "Ren! where are you?!" Ren sighed and said "I am driving right now, I'll call you later" with that he hung up, as soon as he hung up there was a sound of someone clearing throat. He turned around and saw Kyoko who was wearing a beautiful tea length dress which was of green color and had a diamond belt around her waist, it was simple but was beautiful. Ren stared at her and didn't spoke a word, Kyoko sighed and said "I knew that it was too much on me" Ren chuckled and said "nope, you are always beautiful, let's go, shall we?" Kyoko looked at him and said "yes" with that they got out of the parlor.
Kyoko and Ren were sitting in front of media, with every main character the press conference started, "Director Shinichi, what is this story exactly based on?" one of the reporter asked.
"Well, this is basically based on the main characters, Akari and Hayato, who were forced to marry each other. They are not in good terms. Akari is a stubborn and strong female, whereas Hayato is arrogant and prideful character, but as they go on living and helping together, they start realizing that they have feeling for each other and start getting closer but Akari's ex-boyfriend Tamaki interferes in their relationship and everything starts to get ruined. After this I am not going to say anything because you will know everything. Please, watch the drama to see what happens next" while the director was speaking Kyoko and Ren had the same thought 'that's exactly what's happening with us now! that Fuwa/Shotaro is interfering so much' while Shou was having another thought 'That's what I am gonna do, destroy your life and get what's mine' he chuckles, thinking about it.
One of the reporter notices it and asks Shou "Fuwa-san, you seem to be enjoying yourself. Are you happy to play a villain role in this drama?" Shou looks at the reporter and smirks, "well, yes. I think that I will playing important role of leading the drama to the twist. You know, people enjoy watching dramas which has handsome yet sinful villain" The reporters just nodded.
Murasame who was sitting beside Ren, noticed something. He noticed that when Shou was talking, Ren's eyebrow was twitching, he noticed Ren's eyeswere giving a murderous aura. This reminded Murasame something, but he was unable to catch it, he whispered "Tsuruga-san, have we met before? I don't know why but you look similar" Ren flinched at this but still kept his calm face and replied in a whisper "Murasame-san, there are many actors or people who looks similar to me. Many people sometimes get confused. Don't worry, we haven't met before, but it's nice meeting you" Murasame was still suspicious but still he nodded and said "yes, you might be right" Ren silently sighed in relief.
Many question were asked in this whole interview, everybody just answered calmly and soon the press conference was over. Everyone got up from their seats and bowed to each other and then suddenly the director said "I hope the character's roles are ready" everyone said in union "yes!" except... Kyoko, she stiffened at the mention of character. Ren saw this and whispered "don't tell me that your character is not ready" Kyoko smiled nervously and just shook her head, Ren sighed and whispered "don't worry, I'll help you" Kyoko nodded silently and the director cheered happily "I will be looking forward to work with you all. Please, co-operate with me" at this everyone's mood lightened and they cheered "yess!" with that everyone slowly started leaving the conference room.
Kyoko and Ren were walking towards the car while talking about their character. They suddenly noticed someone which they hated the most 'Shotaro'. Shou was standing near his car, which was exact beside Ren's car. Ren started glaring and asked "what business do you have?" Shou glared him back and said "I am here to take what's mine. Kyoko, get in the car" Kyoko glared at him and said "I am not a thing, Shou, and I am not getting in your car" Ren smirked and said "you heard, right? now get out of my sight" Shou gritted his teeth, he grabbed Kyoko's arm and pulled her towards him. Ren was about to punch Shou, but a certain voice stopped him "Fuwa-san! you should not be like this to Mogami-san! she not a thing" Murasame who only saw the scene of Shou pulling Kyoko towards himself rudely, started walking towards them and made Shou to leave Kyoko's arm. Kyoko's arm was hurting painfully. Murasame asked Kyoko with a worried look on his face "ano, Mogami-san, are you alright?" Kyoko looked at him confused and said "yes, I am alright" Murasame turned towards Shou and said "Fuwa-san, you have no right to treat Mogami-san harshly" Shou smirked and said "seems like you are interested in her, eh?" Murasame was surprised for a second, he replied "wh-who t-told you that?!" Ren was shocked at this, his blood was boiling but he said politely "Murasame-san, thank you for everything, then, see you tomorrow" with that Ren and Kyoko bowed and got in the car. Ren drove the car away from them both. Ren and Kyoko could hear Shou screaming "hey! We are not finished yet! coward!" but Ren didn't stopped.
Murasme who saw Kyoko getting in the car of Ren comfortably made him shock 'is something going on between them, I have saw her ad of Tropic Juice and also the photo of Ren and her, I admired her, but what is this feeling? have I developed feelings for her? no, NO! That's not possible! I am just overthinking it!' Murasame was deep in his thought that he didn't noticed Shou, who was watching his all moments, Shou finally said, "hey, do you really have feelings for her?" Murasame looked at Shou. At the word 'feeling' his heart started beating faster but still he made his face serious and said "no, I don't have feelings for her" with that he walked towards his car and drove away, leaving Shou alone.
Ren who was driving was quite the whole time which made Kyoko uncomfortable "ano, R-Ren, are you angry?" she cursed herself from inside 'OF COURSE! he is angry!' Ren didn't responded, he stopped the car in the parking lot and got out of the car, he opened the door for Kyoko to come out. Kyoko came out and they both started walking towards their apartment.
As soon as, they entered the apartment, Ren started walking towards the living room leaving her behind. Kyoko tried to stop him with her arm which was held strongly by Shou, she almost forgot that her arm was bruised, until the pain hit her hard, she whispered "ouch!" Ren turned around and saw that Kyoko sat down on the floor holding her right arm.
Ren rushed towards her and said "Kyoko, are you alright? what happened?" she smiled weakly and asked "you are not mad, are you?" Ren shook his head and said "I am mad at myself, I am mad because I let you be touched by that Fuwa in front of me, I am mad because I was not able to protect you, I am mad because I was not the one who protected you, I-" he was interrupted by Kyoko "you don't have to be mad at yourself, though you were not able to protect me but you will help me to frame the character, won't you?" Ren looked at her in her eyes and picked her up bridal style. He made her sit down on the couch and said "show me your arm" Kyoko showed him her arm.
Seeing the bruised arm Ren got more angry and said "I won't let that b****** live peacefully" Kyoko was shocked she placed her left hand on his shoulder and said "Ren, you don't have to do it. It's not that major and if you create something idiotic scene in front of everyone, there will be a major problem" Ren looked in her eyes and said "how do you expect me to be quite, Kyoko. Seeing the one I love hurt like this I-" Kyoko cut off his sentence and said "the one you love is quite strong" Ren placed his palm on her cheek and said "you will never change, will you?" Kyoko smiled and said "nope" Ren smiled sadly and said "let me treat your bruise" he got up and brought the first aid box. He started applying some medicines on it.
After a while he got up and said "let's make your character, together" Kyoko smiled and got up "yes, let's do it"
