"Mogami-kun!" Sawara called when he saw the Love Me number one member in the office. "I have something to tell you!" He said excitedly. The man was studying the actress, he can't believe that she's the same girl who pestered him days and nights just to let her join the newcomer's audition, she grow up into such a fine actress in the making.

"What is it Sawara-san?!" She asked excitedly.

"An offer! There's a commercial offer for you!"

"Commercial! Really?!" Her eyes sparkled in excitement.

"And guess what? You'll be working with the famous Koga Hiromune!" The man enthusiastically exclaimed.

"OOOOH!" Kyoko tilted her head "Oh..." She mumbled "Koga... Hiromune? Who's that?"

Sawara-san wanted to bang his head on the wall. How can this girl don't know about him? "He's Japan's Number 2, next to Tsuruga Ren."

"Oh! Sounds interesting!"

"Will you accept it?" Kyoko nodded vigorously. Sawara-san handed her the script. "Here. Good luck!"

Kyoko thanked him, bowed and went back to the Love Me room. She took a seat and went to read the script, so basically, the man will walk past her in a bar, and she will notice the fragrance of his perfume, she will then follow the man, approach him and seduce him.

"S-S-S-Seduce?" Kyoko blushed at the character. "But I never tried to seduce a man before!" She yelled.

"Shut up!" Kyoko turned to the doorway, her eyes sparkled when she saw Kanae, it's been a long time since she saw her.

"MOOOOOOKOOOOOOO-SAAAAAAAAAAN~~~~" Kanae shoved all the hearts and flowers that her friend was (imaginarily) throwing at her.

"Yes, yes, it's been a while." She went to her locker to change into her Love Me uniform. "So? What was that earlier?" She asked. Kyoko showed her the script of her new offer as an answer. Kanae read it and smirked at her. "Heh, seducing a man, huh? That's a piece of cake." She smugly informed.

"B-But Moko-san, I don't have any experience in seducing a man before!" She pouted.

"Hm. Then you should meet your leading man first, before worrying such thing." She tied her hair into a ponytail, before looking at her. "Or why won't you let your boyfriend teach you?" She smirked before leaving the room.

Kyoko looked at the script again. She took a deep sigh.

"Alright. I'm a professional actress."

She reminded herself.


Ren choked on his food. They are having a dinner when Kyoko suddenly asked a request.

"Come again?!" He coughed.

Kyoko was blushing to her ears. "I-I-I..." She gulped, embarrassed. "I want you to teach me how to seduce a man."

"Why?" The actor asked curiously. "You are already seducing me with just being cute and adorable."

Kyoko blushed at his words. "But I got an offer to do a perfume commercial, and I need to seduce the leading man."

"Hm." Ren continue eating "Who's the lead?"

"Someone named Koga Hiromune-san."

"Koga-san?" He coughed.

"Yes, do you know him?"

"Of course, we entered show business around the same time."

"Then, the two of you are friends?"

The actor chuckled. "I think so." Kyoko rose her eyebrow at his vague answer "That man, dislike me so much." Ren smirked at her.

Kyoko's jaw dropped.


Kyoko was nervous on her way to the set for the meeting of her new commercial. She's excited and nervous; excited 'cause this will be the second time she will do a commercial after Curara with Kanae; nervous because of the lead actor.

"That man, dislike me so much." Ren smirked at her.

Kyoko's jaw dropped. "SERIOUSLY?!" The actor nodded at her. "Why? What did you do to make him hate you?"

"I didn't do anything!" Ren defended. "You know the survey that they usually do among actors, right?" When Kyoko nod at him, he explained "Well, Koga-san was always at the number two, he never reached the top spot, and he blamed me for it."

"He said that to you?"

"No, but I can feel it thru his aura whenever we met in some events." Ren chuckled at the memories.

Kyoko face-palmed. "Great! I'll be working with someone who holds a grudge against you."

"You will be alright, Koga-san is a great actor." Ren assured her.

She took a deep breath before knocking on the door.


Koga smirked, reading Kyoko's profile. "Another LME talent... Tsugura-kun's junior, huh..."

"Oh? You mean, that Tsuruga Ren-sama? The number one actor in Japan?" Tetsu teased his charge.

"Tsk!" The actor clicked his tongue "If it wasn't for him, the girls already flocked over me!" He said dreamingly. Director Shingai and Tetsurou shook their heads. The chattering ceased when they heard a knock on the door, and Tetsu went to open it. The manager eyes slightly widened when she saw a girl wearing pink overalls.

Is this really her? He wondered.

"Uhm... I'm Kyoko, from LME." Kyoko introduced. "I'm here for the... uhm... commercial."

Tetsu blinked, waking his self from the surprise. "Oh, welcome." He opened the door wider and let her enter. "We've been waiting for you."

Koga and Director Shingai stared at the girl, the two shared a look before staring back at the girl. They gazed at her from head to toe, making sure that they called the right girl.

"Kyoko-chan... from Dark Moon?" Director Shingai asked reluctantly.

"Yes!" Kyoko smiled brightly.

"I'm the Director for this commercial." He introduced. "Director Shingai." Kyoko politely bowed at him.

"You are... different from what we expected." Tetsu mumbled. He gasped when he realized that he said it out loud. "I'm sorry!" He bowed apologetically.

The actress chuckled and waved her hands "It's alright. I get that a lot!"

"Kyoko-chan, let me introduce to you Koga Hiromune-san." Director Shingai introduced the actor beside him, a tall, wavy raven-haired man, smiling at her.

"Nice to meet you..." The actor gave her one of his brightest smiles.

"Oh! So you are Koga-san!" Kyoko exclaimed. "Nice to meet you!"

The actor's eyebrow twitched. "You don't... know me?"

Kyoko scratched her head and smiled at him sheepishly "I'm sorry... I don't really watch television shows. The actor that I only know is Tsuruga-san and those I worked in Dark Moon."

Direction Shingai and Tetsurou couldn't even stifle their laughter and burst out laughing.

Kyoko blushed in embarrassment. "I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"

"To think that there's someone who doesn't know you! Hahahahah! You are really number two!" His manager exclaimed between laughter. "Kyoko-chan you're funny!"

Koga was too shocked to move, to think that there's someone in the country who doesn't know him.

It's a huge blow on his ego as a man.


Director Shingai was explaining the concept at the two actors, while the other staff and crew were setting up the studio to make it looked like a bar. The other extra casts were getting ready.

Koga crossed his arms "I want to be seduced for real, Kyoko-chan."

The girl blushed just by thinking about it. "Y-Yes, Koga-san."

"You're carrying LME's name on your shoulders, the same agency as Tsuruga Ren."

"I haven't graduated in acting school yet, but I will try my very best not to embarrass the name of the agency who gave me a chance to enter in show business!" Kyoko exclaimed, clenching her fist, and her eyes sparkled with determination and fighting spirit. "I swear it on the name of my great senior, Tsuruga Ren-sama!"

Koga snorted, he found her interesting. She's childlike, and easily get embarrassed, how can she handle the role of being a seductress? Did I really call the right woman to play the role? He wondered amusingly.

The make-up artist called Kyoko, it's her turn to sit on the makeup chair. The actress excused herself and went to the dressing room. She can hear the disdain from the other women in the set, saying that they suited better for the role and whatnot.

Kyoko blushed from head to toe when the person assigned in wardrobes handed her a strapless red sequined waist chiffon bandeau dress. The cocktail dress features a glittery lace to cover upper body design and a chiffon apron asymmetrical skirt for a mock high-low look, with a beautiful jeweled sequined waist provides an elegant touch.

"This is my costume?" Kyoko gasped. "It's beautiful!"

"Yes! Red is perfect when you need to seduce a man~ and it's M&T."

The girl smiled and took the dress from the woman. The staff helped her undress her pink overall, and to wear the costume. Kyoko felt bare, she never tried wearing this kind of dress before. She wore the robe over her costume, before sitting on the chair in front of a huge mirror.

Kyoko closed her eyes, as she let them do what they wanted to do to her. She kept clenching her hands to ease her nervousness.


Ren was sitting on the couch, as he watched Kyoko approaching him. She combined Natsu's walk, and Mio's grace and elegance.

"Don't walk too fast," Ren instructed her. "Walk slowly, and looked at me in the eyes." Kyoko nodded, remembering each word. "And don't forget to smile, your smile is your biggest asset."

Kyoko blushed at him and looked away. "R-right." She straightened herself.

Ren was mesmerized, and it was as if the world slowed down for him as he watched the girl he loves so much, approaching her, smiling sweetly. Kyoko took a seat beside him, she leaned and caress his face, and whispered to him.

"Did I manage to seduce the playboy fairy prince?"

He smirked at her seductively and softly touched her lips. It's the Emperor of the Night.

"Should I demonstrate my answer?" He murmured in a husky voice as his hands roamed on her back.

Kyoko instantly blushed from head-to-toe.

Kyoko's face was beet-red as she stared at her reflection on the mirror, she wanted to beat herself for remembering that night, the seducing lesson turned into something more... exquisite.

"Is this really me?" The actress unbelievably asked. Her make-up was light, the thing that stands out the most was her red-matte lipstick that matched her dress. She wore a curl extension on her hair.

The make-up actress smiled at her. "It really suits you."

"T-Thanks..."

The stage director knocked and opened the door. "Kyoko-chan, the director is calling for you!"

Kyoko gulped and gripped her robe as she left the dressing room and to the set. Koga was amused when he noticed that the girl was shy, and blushing hard. It's been a while since he saw a blushing lady cutely.

"Alright, Kyoko-chan, you've read the script right?" Director Shingai asked the actress.

"Y-Yes..." She stuttered.

"I want you to adlib when you go to seduce Hiro later." The actress nodded, and the director continues giving instructions to Koga, and the others.

"Can she really do it?"

"She easily blushed, how can she seduce Koga-san if she's so innocent?"

"I am better and prettier than her."

Kyoko heard the girls, who played extra, whispering behind her.

"Alright! On your position please!" Director Shingai instructed. The extra characters went into their respective tables, they all dumbstruck and gaped when Kyoko took off her robe.

"No way!"

"She's kidding, right?!"

"Is she really the plain girl from earlier?"

"Not bad."

Koga whistled in amusement. "Nice~"

"WAAAAAA! Don't stare at me like that! It's my first time wearing something like this!" Kyoko cried, blushing, trying to cover herself when most of the men are staring, no… ogling at her.

"You look great, Kyoko-chan!" Tetsu exclaimed. "No wonder why you got the role of Mio!"

"Get ready." Director Shingai informed the actress.

Kyoko closed her eyes, taking deep breaths. I need to seduce him. I'm a seducer.

"Action!"

The girl opened her eyes, all of her embarrassment seemed to washed away. The music starts and the extras were already doing their parts – drinking, talking, laughing, and dancing.

It's a bar after all.

She was approaching her friends when a man with unique fragrance walked past her, she closed her eyes as she smell the lingering scent. She turned around and saw the man joined his friends.

The man caught her eyes, he gave her a small smile, and she smiled at him in return, walking towards him and his friends, without leaving her eyes on him.

She heard a glass crushed on the floor and the director's 'Cut.'

Kyoko snapped from her character and tilted her head. Did I do something, wrong? I did what Corn taught me tho. She wondered.

"Hiro, what's wrong?" Director Shingai asked the actor who was covering his blushing face. The staff immediately cleaned up the broken glass and gave him a spare one.

"Koga-san got the first NG?!"

"I thought it's going to be that nameless girl."

"No way! Koga-san was defeated by a mere newbie?"

"She's Tsuruga Ren's junior after all."

Damn! I lost a grip on my character! Is she really acting?! Is she really the same girl who was shy and easily gets embarrassed just a moment ago?!

The moment he saw Kyoko smiled at him earlier, it took his breath away, he was, in a plain word, captivated.

"Nothing, I'm just surprised." He murmured, ashamed at his first NG. "I'm sorry."

"Koga-san, are you okay?" Kyoko asked worriedly.

Koga smiled at her "Of course! Your acting surprised me!"

Kyoko apologetically bowed "I'm sorry."

The actor chuckled "You really apologized a lot!"

"Let's get ready for the second take!" Director Shingai announced. The two leads went back to their position, the make-up artists slightly retouched their make-up and left.

"Get ready! And action!"

He was enchanted at the woman approaching him, she has the most beautiful smile he ever saw. She took the vacant seat next to him and crossed her legs, slightly showing her fair skin. She played with his collar and leaned down to softly inhale his scent.

He glanced at her, smiling at her action.

"Nice scent." She purred.

The two were staring eyes to eyes when...

"Cut! That was perfect!" Director Shingai exclaimed in joy. He never thought that the shooting will be this smooth, he was expecting Kyoko to trip, or something, or to be intimated by her lead star, but lo and behold, she didn't. She handled Japan's Number Two very well.

"Kyaa!" The actress immediately pushed Koga by reflex, he's too close to her liking. "I'm sorry!" She blushed in embarrassment. The wardrobe mistress immediately handed her the robe.

The actor blinked and to her surprise, he laughed out loud.

"Kyoko-chan, you are interesting! You are so professional! Most of the girls that I co-starred with will always ask for a kissing scene."

"WHAT?! Why would I ask that from you if it wasn't on the script?!" She exclaimed in shock and embarrassment. The actor stunned at her indirect refusal.

Tetsurou laughed so hard watching the amusing scene, his charged was rejected like two times, his usual flirting has no effect to the girl.

"Kyoko-chan, thank you so much for your hard work. You exceed my expectations." Director Shingai honestly praised the girl, after the add-on shoots were done, she's immediately changed into her pink overalls again.

"It's my pleasure to work with you, Director Shingai, Koga-san." She bowed before the two men.

"I'm looking forward to working with you again." The Director gave the girl a meaningful smile.

"Let's work together again soon, Kyoko-chan." Koga winked at her.

"Yes, I look forward to it." She bowed once again before leaving the room. "I'll be going first."

"Take care~"

Tetsu snorted beside his charge. "Kyoko-chan didn't even notice that you are hitting on her."

"She's really interesting." Koga muttered. The actor asked for his phone from his manager, after Tetsu handed it to him he grinned and dialed a number before taking it to his ear.

"Hello, Mei-chan? I have a favor to ask..."


Mimori was glaring at Kyoko during their break time. The actress who was absent for weeks doing who-knows-what finally attended school. She sent a message to him. Mimori really hates Kyoko even more now...

Their classes resumed and ended smoothly. Their instructor reminded them to study for their finals which will be held soon. The actress stopped when she noticed the familiar figure standing on the gate, waiting for someone.

"Is that Fuwa Sho?"

"What is he doing here?"

"It looks like he's waiting for someone."

"Who might it be?"

"Isn't his rumored girlfriend Nanokura Mimori attended this school?"

"Hina! Look it's Fuwa Sho!" Hinako's friend pointed at the man as they walked to the exit where their ride was waiting. Hinako glanced at the singer. Fuwa Sho winked at her. The girl rolled her eyes in response.

"I'm not interested in plagiarist." She stated. Sho widened his eyes when he heard her, how dare her called him one!

"Eh?!" Her friends exclaimed quite loudly. "How could you say that?!"

"Grandma said so." She stated before climbing in when her chauffeur opened the door for her and her friends.

Sho caught her words perfectly. Grandma…? Who…? His thoughts about the random girl who called him a plagiarist was cut off when he saw his target person.

Maybe he's here for Mimori...? She nodded, agreeing to her own idea. For precaution, she decided to use the back gate, but lo, her foot was caught with a handcuff.

"Hey!" She exclaimed when she saw Mimori scowling at her. "Let me go!" The model ignored her and dialed Sho's number.

"Mimori got her, Sho-chan." She informed.

"Why are you doing this?!" She asked.

Mimori shrugged. "It's for Sho-chan."

"I see... so you are willing to become a criminal just for him?" Kyoko glared at her. "In case you haven't realized, what you are doing is kidnapping!"

"Hey, stop yelling. It's irritating." Sho showed his self, rubbing his ears. "Come with me."

"No!"

The singer forcedly dragged her. "I said come with me! You have something to explain!"

"No way, Shoutaro!" She yelled, wiggling her arms from his strong grip. "Let me go!"

"Then tell me what's your relationship with Kanzaki Mako?!" He exclaimed angrily.

"He's a friend!" She answered. "What the heck?! Let go!" She practically yelled when his grip became tighter, and it hurts.

"You are clearly hurting her dude, so let go."

Kyoko looked up at the person at the new voice, and who was holding Sho's arm.

"Koga-san…" She breathed in relief.
