10. Hujisaki Misunderstands
Just when Mitsuki couldn't hold her feelings any longer, the last bell rang. While she was walking home, she started crying. She didn't watch the road and almost got hit by a car. The car stopped right in front of her and Wakaoji-sensei came out. He saw her crying and started questioning her but she didn't bother to answer any of them. She continued crying and eventually cried herself to sleep.
The car stopped and she felt someone carrying her off the ground. She was half awake and her eyes were half open. To her surprise, she saw Takuto's face. She felt the warmth and fell back to sleep. she woke up to find herself lying on the sofa-bed of her studio dressing room. She had been sleeping on Wakaoji-sensei's lap all this time.
Wakaoji: How was your slumber my dear princess?
Mitsuki: Aa... Gomen Wakaoji-sensei!
Wakaoji: How are things going with Takuto? While I was carrying you here just now, I heard you mumbling Takuto's name. (Grins)
Mitsuki: (Blush) It's nothing... Just nothing...
Wakaoji: Mitsuki-chan, cheer up! I think you better get ready now. I've participated you as a guest star in the game show. You'll be up in 1 hour.
When Wakaoji-sensei came out from the room, his facial expression changed. His cheerful face turned to sorrow. He lied to Mitsuki about what she had said. He knew that Takuto was getting married.
(Flashback)
While Wakaoji-sensei was carrying Mitsuki, her eyes were half open and it slowly closed back. She started mumbling.
Mistuki: Takuto... Takuto... Don't leave me alone. You lied to me... you know, it has been so long since you carried me like this. Why are you here? Is this to torture me? You say you love me and now you're marrying Ayaka-san. Ne... Takuto... This is a joke right?
Once she stopped, tears started rolling down her cheeks. He felt guilty. He promised Aoi-san that he will never let anyone break Mitsuki's heart.
(End of flashback)
Hujisaki-kun was passing by and he heard a girl weeping. The weeping was heard from Mitsuki's dressing-room. Being the worry-wss that he is, he knoced on Mitsuki's door and went in. When she saw Hujisaki-kun, she tried to wipe her tears but her attempt was a failure. Since she really needed someone, she ran to Hujisaki-kun and hugged him while crying on his shoulders. Hujisaki-kun started blushing furiously and misunderstood. He thought that Mitsuki fell for him. He didn't know the real story.
Mitsuki: Hujisaki-kun, arigatou... I really needed someone just now.
Hujisaki: Don't worry about it Kouyama-san. I'm always here to help )
Hujisaki-kun left the room as Mitsuki tried to calm herself down. She got ready and met up with Ooshige-san to go for her rehearsal.
