As the pandemic started, the whole country was put into a lockdown which caused businesses to temporarily close and the entertainment industry to slow down as they followed the safety protocol in order to keep everyone safe.
Actors and everyone who works on the entertainment had their awaited breaks and able to rest at home.
However as the situation got longer they grew bored and started to create and jump on social media trends.
Chaos started when the top actor and most desirable man in Japan shared his own take of sharing his personal lockdown situation on his official page.
Revealing he is dating his Kohai. Of course fans and others took hints after their sweet interactions duting interviews together and behind the scenes clips of their movies and drama. K
nowing they are together in one roof and acting domesticly is another shock.
Ren is known to be the serious and professional type of man is a different being at home, especially around his girlfriend.
The actress' fans would comment that he is clingy and a big baby.
However their daily routine of their chores are cute, especially doing the laundry, cooking and cleaning.
"Done separating the whites?" the actress inquired. Ren who finished separating it is adjusting his phone camera making sure to get the angle. Kyoko who is only wearing Ren's plain black oversized shirt like a pajama dress and ren with only his jogger shorts helped her load the machine with their clothes.
"Here." Ren handed her the detergent.
"Thanks" she reaponded.
While waiting for it to finish Ren let Kyoko sit on top of the machine and trapped her between his arms and started sharing a kiss and laughs after he made some laundry puns which made Kyoko embarrassed and laugh.
"What do you want for lunch?" She asked.
"You." playfully wagging his eyebrows which caused Kyoko to oinch his nose and smother him with kisses.
"I'm serious." she sternly pressed.
"Anything you make is perfect, but I want something light." He requested.
"Pesto Pasta it is." She decided and ren agreed since he's not a big meat lover.
With his recent upload many women all over Japan were displeased of the fact he is dating Japan's eternal butterfly, However for two years even though she is still Love Me's top girl she established a name for herself and continued to amaze people with her acting talent and ability to be one with her Character.
Plus they cant complain much as she has the sweetest and kindest personality. Both described by her co-workers, boss and co-star.
"Boh?" Ren called and smothered her neck with sweet kisses which she allowed by giving him access.
"Yes?" She giggled at the ticklish feeling, "I'm cooking, Corn. Do you need anything?" She asked.
"I got a comment. Asking if you can teach one of my fans some easy recipe, she said her boyfriend is coming down with a cold."
"Oh no!" she gasped, "Is he okay? They need to see the doctor, that might be something else, and sure I can teach her some soup and light meals recipes." To her surprise Ren turned to a camera which was actually recording.
"You heard Boh, you better get your man checked first and she'll happily help you learn how to cook. Though, we can request A-do nii-san next door if he can check on them, he's from the emergency respose team right?" Kyoko nodded and approved of the idea. With that they received positive response. And with private communication to Ren's fan Kyoko decided to send some few things over for them to help. Kyoko's recipe was simple to follow, they knew she is a big and talented cook and can pass as a Chef but with the instructions she made it helped Ren and her fans know a simple yet filling nutritious meal.
Currently they are reading some fan comments on his account and amused that there are who love their little daily and short vlogs and asks for more.
Funny how the President of LME has been following and teasing them both and their managers wanting to visit.
One day while the two are busy vacuuming and cleaning the house, they can hear mewling from their front door Kyoko and Ren looked at each other and gave the door little opening to see. A black mop of long fur dashed in their apartment and hid under their foyer's dresser.
Staring each other in the eye, Ren dropped on the floor and tried to coax the cat to come out but it was shivering and mewling.
Kyoko felt bad and also laid flat on the floor to get the kitty out.
"I think it's either the neighbor's dogs or the heavy rain." Ren stated and tried to reach out for the cat, there was no hissing just loud meows and shivering, the long fur was wet and indeed it was because of the thunder and rain that caused the poor cat to be terrified.
"I'll call the security and know if our neighbors owned a cat." Kyoko stated and went to get the phone, and minutes later, "He said, there was no reported missing cat." Shaking her head.
"I'll get my camera and see if in the neighborhood people or anyone lost a cat." Ren said and Kyoko in her tank-top glory is holding the towel burrito wrapped cat on her arms and giving it gentle pets and cooes. Ren recorded them and made the announcement about a missing feline.
There were comments asking them to keep it, "We can't what if Mr. Pepper has a family? They would be sad." They can see the sadness in Kyoko's eyes and Ren knows she wanted to keep the male cat.
"Boss, called a vet to visit us." Ren also informed Kyoko.
For the whole day they waited for any notifications or news that the cat has an owner, sadly there is none yet. The vet came by as well and told them the kitty wasn't chipped and is healthy which pulled a giant thorn from the couple's heart.
"Mr. Pepper" the cat who is settled on her kitchen's island counter cutely posed on a stiff sitting position showing the little white patch on his chest.
"Mr. Pepper is a Norwegian forest tuxedo kitty, he is quite the scaredy gentleman. He's really the sweetest, how come no one claims him?" she posted and Ren would catch her snuggled close to the cat in their bed.
"Out Japan's gentleman has been replaced by a handsome four legged man." Kyoko's other bestfriend wrote which the actress commented with emojis.
For few days they waited and ren enjoyed having the cat around, it felt that the creature filled the void in their home. "Boh?" Ren called snuggled with her.
She hummed in response cuddling both Ren and the cat, "If ever someone claims Pepper, can we get a cat or a dog?" he asked and Kyoko hugged the animal closer not wanting to return it.
"We can, but what if no one takes Pepper?"
"All the better." Ren said as he kissed her. They were napping until Ren opened a notification. Kyoko scooted closer and started reading a picture comment.
"I think thats the cat I usually feed by the park, he's really gentle and cute. As much as I wanted to take him home its sad I cant simce my mom's allergic to animals. Bit I think Mr. Stray found a nice family from both Kyoko-sama and Tsuruga-san." finishing it with a flower and emoji hearts. The picture was a kitten Pepper with his recent ones with few other cats from the neighborhood he is from. Ren's face gleamed qith happines and looked at Kyoko.
"I think its time to take down our notice and let them know he found a home?" That was the only sign they were waiting, that the cat is not being owned by anyone.
Kyoko tightly hugged the fluffy cat close.
"Welcome to our home Mr. Pepper." She shared kissing the cat who looks less amused.
Ren also shared his own and his father having to use a fake account with fake name under Tsuruga hilariously commented which surprised his fans of the sudden appearance of his father.
"Seriously, we leave you for eight years and relieved that you ar living in the same roof with your girl, you give us a dur grandchild?" Kyokonis hysterically laughing.
"Wait." Ren wrapped the cat again and handed it to Kyoko who os in bed, she cradled Pepper like a new born and Ren tagged his father, "Congratulations, its a bouncing furry boy"
"Your fans did not expect you were this fun." Kyoko gigfled at him as he irons and fold their laundry while Kyoko is cooking.
"No one did since all I do is be serious and professional." He snorted.

"Pepper entered our lives in the right moment. This kind of words sounded scratched and used but it is the truth." Kyoko talked through video interview for a pet-slash-animal story media online, "Im very occupied with my day even though Ren and I have each other, but I admit despite we love spending the day with each other there is something missing especially our routines everyday is becoming boring." She admitted.
"Pepper became our new light keeping us on our toes with the plants arounf the house. lur boring chores got to be more threatening and thrilling after falling vases and chewed plants are added to the list." Ren laughed. "But having him around made us better. We're not ready for responsibility but this little furball taught us that we can be okay parents." Ren gave the cat some screeches.
"Besides, after he made his appearance, I think hes more popular with his Papa's fans." Kyoko gave a laugh.
"My dad has a love hate relationship with him too." Ren heartily laughed at the recent posts.
Their online interview for the pet channel shared short clips and pictures of their life with their new Tsuruga member especially the cute video call Pepper had with Kuu who has been cooing at the cat.
And by the end of the clip, Ren and Kyoko's name were changes into their cute pet names; Corn, Boh and Pepper.
Their little interview on dodo got them more trending and the other celebrity couples could not keep up.
