Dark Moon
Normal POV
After Sho's P.V was aired, Kyoko and Kanae were full of requests for advertisements, which the two did gladly, happy for the jobs that came even though most would consider them too low to accept. Today was one rare day that Kyoko didn't have anything scheduled however, the director had requested her presence in his office.
Entering the room after knocking, Kyoko walked in. "You called for me director?" She asks and takes a seat when the president gestured her to do so. "Ms. Mogami, you have been requested to perform in the remake of the Dark Moon as Mio, the antagonist. You will have to perform a girl full of hate and despair, who has given up on love and hope. Will you accept the role?"
She considered it for a while. This girl was the exact opposite of her, yet, she wanted to try and act her out, give her a soul, a life. Kyoko finally nods her head. "Yes, I will accept the role it will be a challenge to do so." The president clapped his hands. "Great! The cast will meet tomorrow at the address written in this folder."
The president hands her a folder which she assumes has her lines in it. "I believe Tsuruga Ren knows where you live, correct?" She nods her head. "Then he will come to pick you up, since he also has one of the lead roles. You can go now." Kyoko stood up, bowed and gracefully left the room.
Kyoko's POV
After I left the president's office, I was in a daze. My first drama role and it was a lead one too! Sure, it would be challenging to create a Mio that would surpass the previous one, but I couldn't really know how it'd go until I tried.
Leaving the LME building, I headed towards my apartment when I suddenly remembered that my busy schedule had kept me from speaking with my older brother. "Oh crap." I mumble and then run towards my apartment to begin my apology… his favorite food.
However, it wasn't meant to be. When I arrived at my apartment, outside my door was Ren – nii. Freezing, I let him approach me with his threatening smile, shivering all the while because of how fake it was. "Nii – san, hello. How are you?" I nervously ask as I back into a wall.
"Tell me Kyoko, was it too much of you to pick up your phone? Or were you too enchanted by your cheating fiancé you couldn't bother to ease your older brother's worries?" At his words, my temper exploded.
"I was busy brother, since we filmed without a break in between. I was too far away to hear the slight ringing of my phone. Also, you don't have to rub in my face the fact Shoutaro cheated on me. I know that I wasn't enough for him in the past. However, this has changed now. He is seriously trying to make up for everything, he even chose to ignore the big – breasted girl sitting beside him to stare into my eyes."
I took a big breath. "I know he has cheated on me." I repeat, and tears gather in my eyes. "However, I'd like to believe he is trying to redeem himself in my eyes. And while I am still not going back to him, I will never stop loving him so I would appreciate it if you ceased your attack on his person, nii – sama." I finish coldly, and turn to enter my apartment, shutting the door quite forcefully.
I was really angry with my brother yet also hurt. I thought he knew me the best and it was obvious I wouldn't ignore a call if I could hear it. He also knew it hurt me to listen to him badmouth the man I love yet he continues to do so. I take a deep breath. "Alright Kyoko, time to read your lines and forget about this. You're even now." I tell myself and head to my couch to read the lines I'll have as Mio.
As I read the script, it was like I could feel the character become alive inside me, yet, something was missing. The character didn't feel complete, there was a large part missing. I tried to put myself in the character's shoes yet I failed. That something was stopping me from acting out my role.
I will find it before I meet the other cast members tomorrow.
Sho's POV
I picked up my notebook and started writing the lyrics to the song I was writing for Kyoko, lyrics that I hoped would show her how sorry I am. I know it won't be enough to get her back yet. And I wouldn't want it to be enough. After all I have done to her, she deserves numerous apologies and she will get them.
I put my pen on the notebook's line and write:
So many times,
I've entered this room,
Guilty as charged,
Of hurting you.
So many times,
I've entered this room,
To see a broken smile,
And a stare full of pain.
I opened the door,
Like so many times,
Expecting to see,
The scene repeat itself.
However all I got,
Was a cold goodbye,
Written on a piece of paper.
I fall down and start crying,
Cause I have only just realized,
The depth of my love and the depth of your hurt,
And it pains me to say goodbye.
I remember the sea you filled,
With the tears from your heart.
And now I can't help bet grieve,
For my lost chance.
I entered the room expecting a blank smile,
But all I got was a frozen silence.
It shook me to my core to realize,
That I have lost you for good.
I can only hope you forgive me,
I can only hope you give me one more chance,
I know that I have hurt you deeply,
But I wish I could take all that back.
Take all that back….
As I put the pen down, having finished the song, I try not to let my tears fall and stain the page. It was my most important possession at the moment (after Kyoko's picture of course) and I would be damned if I destroyed it.
"Soon… I will start my apology." I whisper and close my eyes, falling asleep where I was, slumping against a wall.
Omake: Ren's despair
After Kyoko slammed her door, I realized I had overstepped my boundaries. I know that I am protective over her and it sometimes makes me furious to know that she is with the one who hurt her so, however, I also know she loves him a lot. She would not be able to survive without him, it would hurt her more to lose him than it did him cheating on her.
"I am sorry Kyoko." I whisper against her door and leave the building. Tomorrow, I would apologise properly to her.
End Omake.
