Chapter 4: Sho's PV
Normal P.O.V
Kyoko was out of the company building, waiting for the car that would pick them up with Kanae. "Kyoko, why is it that you don't want to face this Sho alone?" Kyoko smiled sadly. "Remember about the fiancé I told you about? This is him." Kanae stared at her shocked that she would accept playing a part in her cheating fiancé's PV before her eyes steeled. Well, if he thought that this would be the chance for him to get Kyoko back, he was wrong. She would make this as difficult as she could for him.
The car arrived and Kyoko and Kanae entered it. The ride was spend in silence, Kanae too angry to speak and Kyoko too nervous. When they finally arrived at the place the PV was being made at, Kyoko had to take a deep breath before entering, her heart beating like crazy. As they entered the building, they found out that Shouko was waiting to lead them to a conference room.
"Kyoko – chan, please follow me." Was all Shouko said when they approached and Kyoko did so, a bit reluctantly. She was starting to feel as if she made a mistake, she didn't think that she was ready to face her fiancé yet. The only thing that stopped her from leaving was Kanae, who was gripping her hand to give her support. Kyoko smiled thankfully at her friend and steeled herself. She wouldn't show weakness in front of Sho. She didn't end up in tears when he first cheated and she wouldn't end up in tears after she saw him for the first time since she left him.
The three entered a conference room and Kyoko noted that all but two chairs were full. The blond led her friend towards the chairs, and, keeping her face carefully blank, she greeted everyone in the room.
Out of the corner of her eye, Kyoko could see Kanae glaring at Sho, trying to make him burst in flames with just her eyes. This person didn't deserve her friend, not after everything he did.
Sho on the other hand was looking a bit shaken. It seems the sight of the girl he discovered he loved after weeks of not seeing her had shaken him completely. He couldn't stop looking at Kyoko, drinking in every detail he could see. She was more beautiful that he remembered.
The director cleared her throat and got everyone's attention, though Mimori shot glares at the girl Sho was staring at. "Good morning everybody, I hope everyone knows their roles by heart by now. You had all day yesterday to memorize the scenes we would do, so I expect this to go quickly." The director said and everyone nodded. "Now, does anyone have any objections about their roles?"
Here Mimori immediately raised her hand. The director motioned for her to speak, and Mimori did so, while glaring at Kyoko, who simply raised an eyebrow at her behavior. "I don't want to play the angel that kills Sho, I want to be the angel that Sho falls in love with!" She says and smirks at Kyoko triumphantly, believing that her demand would be met. She was shocked however when it was rejected. And it wasn't the director who did the rejecting either, it was Sho.
"Absolutely not. I chose Kyoko to play the angel who falls in love with me and you got the other role because you were already hired. There will be no changes. If you don't like it, you can leave." Sho said, reducing the girl to tears. Kyoko sighed.
"Sho, would it hurt you to be more gentle when rejecting someone? The girl is obviously infatuated with you. There's no reason why you can't reject her gently, so to hurt her less." Before Sho or Mimori could answer, Kyoko's phone rung. Taking a look at the caller id, Kyoko sighed in frustration.
"Ren – san, this is the third time you called me in an hour. Please do not make me shut my phone down." She said as she picked up, not noticing Sho's slightly hurt face or the others' shocked ones. Kyoko listened to what the other said before sighing again. "No, Ren, you cannot come here. No, I am not giving up this role. No, you cannot kill him! Jeez, don't make me repeat yesterday's speech!" Kyoko said exasperated, making everyone look at each other in confusion, except Kanae that is.
"Ren, I am hanging up." Kyoko informed her brother before doing as she said. "I apologize for the interruption." Kyoko said and the director nodded in acceptance. "Now, Mimori, as Sho said, the roles aren't in discussion. If you don't like this, leave." To the surprise of everyone but her manager, the girl huffed and left. Kyoko laughed a bit. "It seems she is waiting for you to go and chase after her, Sho." She said amused, making him groan.
"That girl can really not get what no means." Her fiancé replied, and Kyoko was amazed at how easy they fell into old habits. The director cleared her throat, calling attention back to her. "It seems we are missing an actress. Kyoko – san, you brought with you a friend, did you not?" The director asks and Kyoko nods. "Yes, this is Kanae, another newbie actress in our agency. She is currently acting as my manager, since some of my sempai wouldn't let me come unless I took someone with me."
The director was confused at that, but everyone else knew what that meant. Ren wouldn't allow her to see Sho without someone he trusted by her side. "Then, Kanae – san, would you mind playing the part Mimori was supposed to be playing?" Kanae smirked. "It would be my pleasure, director." She said while glaring at Sho, making Kyoko sigh.
The three actors went in their respective changing rooms to get ready, Sho with a healthy fear of what Kanae planned. Unknown to him however, Kyoko saved him from what her friend planned to do. "Kanae, act professional, do not let your personal feelings get in the way." Kyoko said to her before she left to get changed.
The time for the shooting came and Sho was waiting anxiously to see Kyoko. When the girl he hurt so much appeared, Sho was rendered speechless. Kyoko was simply too beautiful to describe with words. The two friends did their scenes perfectly, however, Sho was unable to do so the first few times, too enchanted by Kyoko.
Kyoko had finally had enough and went to shake him out of it. "Sho, if you don't concentrate, I will tell everyone what your real name is." Knowing that she would really do that, Sho finally got himself together and did his parts. The PV was made absolutely perfectly and everyone was content. There was a slight mishap though when Kanae went to choke Sho for real but was stopped by Kyoko's stare.
Kyoko and Kanae bid goodbye to everyone and left, Kyoko checking her phone before blanching. "Oh, Ren is going to kill me!" There on her phone screen, the words "39 missed calls from Ren" were written. Kanae couldn't help it; she laughed.
Yes, I know, it's not that good but it was really hard to write. Oh and Happy New Year's everyone! Please enjoy the omake!
Omake: Mimori's thoughts, Mimori P.O.V
As I heard Sho refusing to give me the role of the angel in love with the devil, I was hurt beyond belief. I listened as the girl that captivated his attention scolded him for the abrupt way he let me down and then as she answered a phone call from THE Tsuruga Ren. When the director told me to either stay and play the part I was given or leave, I ran out of the room, believing that Sho would come after me. He didn't.
I remained at the studio wanting to see what they would do without me and I was shocked when I saw they had found a replacement minutes after I left. I was hurt and confused. Was I really that bad of an actor that I could be replaced by a complete novice?
I continued watching the shooting and I saw that Sho was completely captivated by the girl. I could see why too. She was really beautiful. But from where I was, I could see that Sho wasn't just attracted to her, he was in love with her. I felt my heart break. After all I did, I was unable to win his heart.
However, as I turned to leave, believing that I had seen enough, I didn't feel any jealously towards Kyoko – san. The girl had talent, she was beautiful, kind, and, most importantly, seemed to know Sho really well. That was enough for me.
As I left the building, going to where my manager was waiting for me, I could feel myself getting lighter. It seems that Kyoko – san was able to get rid of any bad feelings I had because of my love towards Sho and I was ready to let go of my love for him. It was time to concentrate entirely on my career and, if I happened to fall in love on the way, then that was ok.
The End
So… it was kinda weird, wasn't it? Anyway, Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
