Chapter 77

Tell me his name his name

I want to know

The way he looks

And where you go

I need to see his face I need to understand

Why you and I came to an end

I let you go, I let you fly...

A way to keep somehow more than a broken vow

Tell me the words I never said show me the tears you never shed

Give me the touch that one you promised to be mine or has it vanished for all time…

Shoko frown snatching the remote control from Sho's hand then turning the TV off, "What are you doing Sho? Are you trying to torture yourself listening to those depressing songs?"

Under normal circumstances Sho would have glared at his manager but he has no strength and was not on the mood to argue anymore, "I don't need your lecture." A few weeks after he broke up with Kyoko in order numb the pain in his heart and avoid thinking of his former fiancée he buried himself at work.

Never taking a break never resting if he did his train of thoughts will only lead to Kyoko. But those sleepless nights and work is clearly taking its toll on him.

"Take a break Sho…" Shoko stared at her talent who is clearly looking so exhausted eyebags forming under his eyes and he's skin is becoming paler.

"I'm fine…"


"It's two weeks since I've seen Sho…" Kyoko said looking so down casted. "What should I do?

"Oi watch out!"

"Eh…" Kyoko yelped as she felt a hand grab her head pulling her backwards. She looks up only to see Ren, "Tsuruga-san?"

"You nearly hit the pole." Ren said with 'What-the-hell-do-you-think-you're-doing look on his face.

"I-I thank you Tsuruga-san!"

"Don't be more careless I don't want any more delays on the filming."

"Uh…yeah…" Kyoko muttered feeling disappointed, she was beginning to feel butterflies on her stomach only to feel it stop when Ren said those cold words. It's also been awhile since they start working double time in filming the scenes for the movie and for all it's worth they are already filming the end scenes.

"The film is nearing its ending and my relationship with Tsuruga-san still does not improve…" Kyoko bit her lip, it's not as if she wants to be close to him but still there's this something in her heart yearning to get close to the latter.


"Why don't you talk to Kyoko-chan?" Shien asked her friend while still sitting at her appointed chair.

"I don't have anything to say…" Ren looks away.

"Liar Ren…"

"I'm not-…"

"The Ren I know wouldn't give up so easily…"

"Shien…I…"


Kyoko was about to leave the set when a very familiar voice calls her name making her stop in her tracks.

"Mogami…" Kyoko turn to face Ren.

"W-What is it Tsuruga-san."

"C-Can we talk? Even just for a minute." Ren is actually feeling really nervous right now.

Kyoko smiled solemnly, "Sure…" she nodded.

Kyoko and Ren walk around the set till they reach the terrace where they could clearly see the majestic view of the ocean shining brightly against the glistening moon.

"What do you want to talk about Tsuruga-san?" Kyoko said cutting the silence between them.

"Kyoko before you asked me why I kissed you…I…"

"It doesn't matter." Kyoko cut him off.

"What?"

"I said it doesn't matter…I don't care about your answer." Kyoko sighed, "If that's the reason why you call me out here then I'm leaving." She said but before she could take a single step she felt a hand grab her from behind and the next thing she knew is like a blur as she felt a warm moisture on her lips and now she's in the arms of Tsuruga Ren. Realizing what just happen with all her strength she push the taller man away from her. Harshly…

"Kyo…Kyoko…" Ren eyes widen as he saw tears streaming down Kyoko's cheeks.

"You! Don't ever do that again!" Kyoko said angrily, "Now I know why we broke up it's because we're siblings. Siblings don't kiss Tsuruga-san!"


"What just happened? I nearly surrendered to his kiss what are you an idiot!" she pause berating herself when she heard her phone ring. "Hello Kyoko speaking." She said answering her phone.

"Hello Kyoko it's me Kirito Fuwa."

"Eh…Kirito-san?" Kyoko began to worry Sho's father don't usually call her only when it's emergency or very important.

"It's my son Sho…he collapsed…"
