Chapter 1
"Welcome!" Smiled by Japan's top and veteran actor.
"Thank you so much for having us, Tsuruga-san! Wow your place is huge!" Gaped by one of the three hosts.
"Thank you Shinichi-san, as you already know my wife and I had been working hard to make sure that we invest in good and comfortable things, and this is one of it, especially for our son." He explained. The whole Japan and his fans were all aware he got married years ago but never revealed who his wife is since he wanted to keep his wife's identity unknown and keep his private life a secret. Although, as a proud father, he showed the very first picture of their baby to the whole world through his social media and for all these years kept on sharing little of his family, he never showed the face of his son wanting him to be out of attention so he would be safe and have a normal childhood.
Cars paraded the driveway, and the house is actually three storey building in gorgeous black, white and gray contrast of paint, the glass wall windows exhibited some of the interiors and reception room the family had.
"By the way, where is 'Missus Tsuruga and Tsuruga Junior?" Another host chuckled, "For fourteen years that's what your fans call them." He continued.
"Missus is still at work and Junior is on his way back. But she'll be here" Ren smiled at the camera. Few of the female crew still can't get over how handsome and well-built the actor is, he is with the same physic as to those Hollywood actors from a hero movie, despite being thirty-five he is looking fine and sharp even on his six-pocket shorts and polo fitting shirt.
"So we get to meet Junior?" They said excitedly. The crew and others that are close to the couple already met the boy, however as friendship they helped the couple keep it private respecting them.
"Sure do! I receive a call earlier from Momma and he's biking his way back from the restaurant." He chucked.
"Tsuruga-san is actually eating good since Missus Tsuruga is a chef~" One laughed.
Finally comfortably seated in the beautifully interior-designed living room, the black sofa went with the white walls and gray carpet, and the full glass center table had a tray in the middle with a decorative whisky and shot glass, one full wall is filled with modern rustic designed picture frames that goes over the the white grand piano, it is filled with the precious moments of his family of three together with his parents, in-law and even the old couple who took in and loved his wife as their own, however the eye catching picture of all is the fairytale like giant portrait of his wife and him on their wedding day.
And having the three hosts that worked with his wife in the past in their home means it was time to reveal his family. The camera focused on the beautiful woman with raven hair and shining golden brown hair. Dressed in her beautiful ball gown like wedding dress and Ren who matched her with his all white Victorian designed suit with high collar coat, they looked at each other lovingly.
By later when the show airs, his and his wife's fans are going to cause chaos since he has revealed his mysterious wife who has been missing for more than 1- years in the entertainment business, "Glad you finally revealed that 'Missus Tsuruga' is actually our baby sister Kyoko-chan~" Ren just chuckled in response.
"For fourteen years, I wanted to tell the world who my beautiful wife is, Hikaru-san but you know the reason why I and together our agency held back. And that is because for our son." He continued, they were interrupted when they heard a car pulling up and honking, "Momma's back?" Ren stood and jogged going back to the driveway, the poor camera man followed on a jog as well, the Ishibashi brothers also tailed them to see their sister.
Stepping out of her white SUV she was greeted by Ren and the camera guy, she giggled and gave Ren his usual I'm home kiss. The cameraman wanted to squeal after the smooch since he has been a fan of them after their fist movie together, however months after that Kyoko officially retired.
"Hi boys~" she greeted.
"Kyoko-chaaan!" and gave her a hug.
"Momma, where's Aki?" Ren asked.
"He's biking back, you know the usual." She explained and when they were about to head back, "Oh here he is." A boy almost as tall as Ren riding his all black full suspension mountain bike, and clad with off road helmet.
"Hi Papa." The boy had a blonde hair and emerald eyes that Kyoko loved, he looked like a carbon copy of Kuon.
"Was it a fun ride, bud?" Ren kissed his son's forehead like he would usually do.
"Yup, got to feed some few dogs along the way too." He said and went in right away after greeting his three uncles.
"Glad you had fun, kiddo. And by the way, your grandjiji and mamita is coming later." Ren shouted in a call and he was responded with a happy cheer. Even if only the three of them lives in a massive mansion, it was still full of life.
Ren wrapped his arm around his wife's waist and followed the others inside their home. Settled, "Thank you for joining us Kyoko-chan." The three gave her a fond smile which Kyoko returned.
"It feels strange that I get to sit and face camera again, I mean it's been years."
"Do you miss acting?" It was a script question.
"I do, every single day." Kyoko was being honest and her husband knows how much she missed it.
"Then why not come back?" Yuusei went off the script and asked, it is the one thing that they had been wanting to ask her.
"Glad you asked." She smiled and leaned close to Ren who pulled her for a tight sideways hug, "As you guys know I got pregnant and married at the early age of my career, at first I planned to have a little time off to at least give birth and raise my baby until he is a little older however remembering how I grew up without my mother's love not the presence of my father I realized I do not want that for Aki, so I made the hardest decision but Ren was there and he told me, he's going to act, and entertain people for the both of us. It was enough, and I told him that I'm going to give our son something we never had in our childhood, and that was a parents' love."
"Kyoko loved acting, to entertain, to awe people and make them fall in love on all her characters she wanted to be unpredictable to how she will bring her role to life. But after having Aki our world changed. Parenthood is strange in its way, It made us like an over protective animals that wanted all the best of things and love for our offspring, he is our world, life and light so we did what we did which brings us to this situation. Of course after getting married to her I wanted to show the world my wife, but we had a little secret we need to keep. I was at the peak of my career and my fans and others would hate her, there will be criticism since she is just a starting actress, especially having a baby and relationship with me."
"Wow, that's some story you got there. But I am glad it turned out great for both of you, however how did you become a Chef, Kyoko-chan?" Hikaru asked.
"Well, after giving birth I busied myself in cooking, and poor Ren had been the center of it."
"She cooked tons." Ren's face paled which made everyone laugh.
"That was because Yashiro-san wanted me to feed you high on protein at that time since you were filming the 'Streets' he needed to bulk up and had been working out. And I had to say, I want a fan on his stamina." Kyoko groaned and Ren cockily grinned. "So I love cooking, and Taisho who has been kind enough asked me to at least bring Aki to the shop and I would help him there, and technically, 'Aki on the Streets' grew up in a traditional Japanese restaurant or Darumaya, that is why he had been creating his content revolving in food and street food." Kyoko further explained, "And right after Taisho retired they gave me the old place and I renovated it. Although, out of respect to them I made sure no further changes was made, I only added it to be more traditional like which they approved, and after that I branched out after the traditional Kyoto food with Twist of Tokyo became popular."
Since Kyoko spoke about her son's social media page and channel most Japanese teens are already familiar of it since they mistook him as a teen gaijin just speaks fluently in Japanese and showcase the Japanese street life and food. While they are having more topics on the interview they were interrupted with a loud music, "He's editing is he?" Kyoko turned to her husband who laughed.
"Hold on." And Ren pulled out his phone and started chatting his son who then screamed in response from upstairs, "Sorry Papa!" the adults then shared laughter, "There will never be a dull moment with him."
And before they continued, "We're here!" Julie burst from the door with Kuu holding up the luggage, to Kyoko's surprise her mother was there too.
"Where's Aki?" Saena instantly demanded and the parents of the said boy in sync pointed up and right away, Saena ignored the crew and camera and went up-stairs.
"Wait!" Julie shrieked and followed the other woman, Kuu looking pitiful.
"Help?" Ren laughed and went to assist him, The Ishibashi brothers didn't know that the Hizuris are related to the couple.
"I'm happy you're here dad." Ren gave his father a hug first.
"Thanks son, now help me on this, geez, your mother went right ahead to Aki."
"Well, that's the grandmother effect." Ren whispered and they heard Saena and Julie warn them.
"I can explain." Kyoko looked apologetic to the hosts and crew about the sudden surprise.
"Don't worry babe, I'll help you explain, but I'll help dad first." Ren left with Kuu. And when he returned he finally revealed that he is the son of Kuu and Juliena Hizuri, and Aki hid his name by using his real last name.
And after the crew wraps up, Kyoko and Ren gave them a tour of the whole house, giving their fans a sneak peak of their home and daily life as a normal family, they showed the grand kitchen as a highlight since both wife and son are big food fans and another highlights was the stylish spacious backyard with beautiful pool, backyard deck and barbecue area, it is rare to see and have a property like that in Tokyo, and the second floor reception room which was overlooking the district they are living in, and Ren and Kyoko's combined awards were all placed on a wall and all glass dividers.
Funny how they invaded Aki's room, it was spacious and has two rooms in it, one is his computer studio and study area with a sofa bed where his friends or dad lounges, and the other is his actual bedroom. The wall of his mini lounge has his awards from both school and his biking competitions. Ren is proud after he made few big names sponsor him, and their logos were placed on a cap and helmets which was displayed as well.
And by evening after their show aired, Kyoko's fans made some noise with Ren's as predicted by the couple, however they gushed over their son instead and hoped that the boy would soon join his father and mother's steps on the entertainment industry as an actor as he is already a natural in the camera after they viewed all his vlogs.
LME PR team later after the show aired released some personal family pictures of the couple and their son, together with the Hollywood legends Kuu and Juliena, "It's just a change honey." Ren said kissing Kyoko as they look at the sky on that evening.
"I guess, but I hope this will give our son some space to grow." Kyoko smiled.
"People are going to start expecting him, but having your personality, he is going to be unpredictable and he is going to storm their expectations." Ren had high hopes since he knew his son well, "So you finally decided to hop back to acting?" Ren asked in high hopes.
"Not really, I can do little guesting here and there. I walked with Sachou, besides I need to focus on my own business, by the way three Cafes are going to open in Kyoto, are you coming?" She asked.
"Of course! Remember, we are in this together." He kissed her temple.
"Thank you Kuon." And gave him a smooch.
