I don't own Skip beat!

After that call with "Boss", Kuon carried Kyoko to his car. He was debating whether to bring her back to Cafe Bien or to his house but decided to do the latter. He missed her so much and he really wanted her to be as close to him as possible. He is afraid that this will be their last time together knowing that he should go with what he decided.

He lay her on the seat and strapped the safety belt. He was checking on her every once in a while just to see to it that she doesn't get disturbed. Upon arrival to the parking space of his condominium building, he gently picked up Kyoko and carried her in his arms.

Kyoko stirred in her sleep and opened one eye. "Kuon?"

They were on their way up to his floor, Kuon looked at her and smiled, "Hey, just rest I got you"

Kyoko was exhausted and really wanted to sleep, tightening her hold on his shirt she answered an okay.

Kuon layed her on his bed. Made sure she is comfortable before leaving her to shower. He decided to let her go of the obligation in fulfilling his dream. He will give her life back to her and she will not worry about the money she did not even use in the first place.

He know that this decision of his will shatter his heart. Who wouldn't be? He will be letting go of the one person he didn't mind spending the rest of his life with. He is sure that when she's free, he will not see her again.

He turned off the shower and dried his body. He drape a towel to his hips and walks out of the bathroom. She is still sleeping in his bed. He stood there for a moment looking at her before moving to get clothes. With a pajama pants and white shirt on, he walked to the bed and lied down beside her. Exhaustion dawning to his body. He studied her face, memorizing her features, he smiled. Caressing her cheeks, he whispered "It has been hard for you, I apologize. Don't worry things will be better"

Yes, he will make sure of it.

Kyoko woke up in an unknown room. Rubbing the sleep of her eyes she got up and check the place. Sure enough this is not her room. She heard clatters outside the room and decided to check it.

The place looks nice. The living room has those comfy couches in the tv show. There is a book shelf in one corner but what took her breath away was the glass windows. The room walls are made of glass and the view is fantastic.

"Did I wake you up?"

She whipped her head when she heard his familiar voice, there stood in the kitchen counter was the man who she was avoiding.

"Good morning, No I was awake." She looks back outside and said "your place has a nice view"

"Yeah, thanks" he answered awkwardly. He was torn into telling her the null of their agreement and spending time with her today then tell her later.

"Sorry about last night" Kyoko said, still looking outside. She can't take look at him feeling embarrassed of her behavior last night.

Kuon walk towards her and muss her hair, "Dont mention it. Let's have breakfast out"

"I can cook for us" Kyoko said.

"The thing is" Kuon opens his fridge and showed Kyoko, "I have nothing" he said scratching the back of his head.

Kyoko rolled her eyes, she wanted to suggest they go shop but it sounds like what couples do so she just agreed. "Let me get dressed first"

They ate at the diner around the corner of Kuon's condo building.

"Do you have anything to do today, Kyoko?"

"I have a shift in Cafe Bien in the evening but Im free, usually I help in the cafe"

"Would you like to come with me then?" Kuon said showing 2 tickets to an amusement park.

"Are you escaping work again? Runaway!"

Kuon laughed, "Well sweetheart, Its my day off" he cant help but tease her.

'Liar you have tons of work' his mind protested.

Kyoko was beet red, 'this playboy. Well I gotta admit it sound sweet'

'Listen here Kyoko dont get fooled by his words' she mentally scolded herself.

"Let me see, I am free not until this evening, and I cant remember the last time Ive been to a park" she said thinking.

Kuon waved the tickets in front of her, tempting her more to agree.

"Fine, Ill go. But I need to get back early" She relented.

"Lets go then" Kuon said excitedly.

"wait, I want to change clothes first. ive been wearing this yesterday"

"I got it covered, let's go back to my place" Kuon said smiling.
