Things were starting to heat up between Ren and Sho, good thing Kijema appeared and called both of them outside.
"They were worried what taking both of you so long in the restroom so they asked me to check on you guys." Kijema said.
Ren smiled at Sho before leaving with Kijema.
"Darn it that smile of him gets on my nerves!" Sho said as he punched the wall of the restroom.
"We shall return to Okinawa tomorrow and resume our shooting of the movie. Both of you are welcome to visit us in Okinawa while shooting." Director Musashi said to the artists of Sakura Love and to Sho and Shoko.
"We are glad to be invited in your shooting; both I and Sho will be visiting you one of these days." Shoko said smiling.
Kyoko embraced Shoko and said, "I shall wait for you Shoko chan, Okinawa is beautiful especially in the cherry blossom farm we shall go there to see it together."
"I'll look forward to it Kyoko chan, I would like to see the cherry blossom farm with you."
After saying everyone's goodbye with one another everyone left the restaurant their producer exclusively rented for them to use. While inside Ren's car with Ren and Yashiro, Kyoko's senses were renewed.
"I have a different feeling with this movie I can feel something good awaits me after this. I shall act better in the second half of our movie than the first; I will not let anything distract my acting." Kyoko said inside her mind.
"I can feel a burning aura in her an aura that is determined to face anything whatever challenges that awaits her. Maybe she realized the soul of acting inside her waiting to be shown." Ren said in his mind while looking at Kyoko through the center window of the car.
The flight back to Okinawa was early in the morning and everyone was surprised to see a lot of press people welcoming them in the airport. The press was swarming around every member of the Sakura Love team and they were walking along with them.
"This is strange when we first came here no one takes notice of us and now they are all here." Kijema said.
"Having the press know your purpose will cause them to swarm over you. This is the only thing I hate in showbiz; privacy will be something rare for you because of them." Kuu said in an irritated tone of voice.
"Ms. Kyoko what are your thoughts about your first protagonist role co acting with Japan's number 1 Tsuruga Ren?" a press asked to Kyoko
Kyoko was about to answer but Tsuruga Ren puts his arm around Kyoko's shoulder to make her keep up with his pace of walking.
"No need to answer their questions, it will only take your time. Keep up with my pace for we should get out of here quickly." Ren said while walking purposively.
Kyoko kept her pace with Ren and until they reached their bus. When everyone was in the bus started moving, they have no scheduled shooting for the day their only schedule is to spend the night in private hot spring resort owned by their producer.
All of them were happy to hear that they will all relax in the hot spring, as they arrived in the hot spring resort their room assignments were given, the ladies rooms are in the first floor and the men's rooms are in the second floor and they all walked to their assigned rooms.
"It's been a while since I have been in a hot spring and being in one is good to relax and refresh the body." Kyoko said to herself while smiling.
"I love hot springs, hey Ren would like to join me in my plan?" Kijema asked.
"What plan?"
"To peek at the ladies while they are taking a bath in the hot spring?"
"No thanks I have no interest in such things." Ren said blankly.
"Oh come one you can peek at Kyoko if you want to but the rest of the ladies are mine."
"Just respect all of them and forget everything about your plan. We are here to relax not to goof around."
"I can see your point, don't worry I shall see to it I comply."
After relaxing their bodies in the hot spring all of them are gathered in a long table to drink sake and talk casually as friends not as co workers, Kyoko was not drinking sake but is only drinking tea. Ren was observing her as he was drinking his sake with Kijema beside him.
Kijema jokes with Ren but Ren's mind was somewhere and he was not laughing with Kijema's jokes.
"You are such a stiff, are you really here with me?" Kijema asked to Ren in a drunk voice.
Ren only nods.
"Whatever, let's just enjoy our drink alright. KAMPAI."
"KAMPAI." Ren said as he toasts his drink with Kijema's
Kyoko excused herself from Yuuko and the rest of the ladies, Ren who was observing her excused himself from Kijema to follow her.
