ONE MORE CHANCE
The meeting for the cast of "Until I Met You" will start at 9am. At one of the reserved conference room of LME (because Lory is one of the producers on it!). It was a beautiful monday morning and each cast is starting to arrived for the meeting.
Early 30mins. before the meeting Ren and Yashiro arrived at the conference room and as usual the lovesick man was starting to look for the chestnut colored haired girl but noticed that she haven't arrived yet. And yashiro as always with his instinct thought It seems the target itself has not yet arrived. It was a few days later he had known that the actress that will be playing Ren's love interest is Kyoko after he got a phone call from the president and asked if Ren was acting weird. Hmmm... so that's why ren looks troubled and depressed, it's because of kyoko!. After greeted by the people and Ren being with his ever gentleman attitude greeted them back, they began to look for a seat. But Ren's thoughts still linger around with his co-star. Why is Mogami-san not here yet?
*Huff* *Huff* *Huff* sounds of deep breathing
"Arggghh... why is this happening now" kyoko muttered, exhausted from running. Look at her watch and it was already 8:45am only 15mins before the meeting starts. She continued her fast pace again still a few blocks away from LME.
Flashback
Around 7am
-bzzt- -bzzt- -bzzt- kyoko's phone vibrating
"Moshi, moshi?" Kyoko answered
"Good Morning, Mogami-san" greeted Ren with his warm voice
"Good Morning to you too, Tsuruga-san" Kyoko replied
"I was wondering if I can pick you up and give you a ride since we will be going to LME for the meeting" Ren said
Kyoko smiled and held her phone to her left ear and shoulder and continued washing the plates after she and the couple had breakfast.
"Tsuruga-san, thanks for the offer though, but I have my bike and besides I can't bother you enough to pick me, Im fine" Kyoko replied
"It's not a bother, Mogami-san and as a growing actress like you shouldn't be seen riding with a bike anymore" Ren sternly said.
"But Im fine with my bike and Im still a novice to acting, no one can recognize me not like someone I know" Kyoko muttered the last words
Ren sighed through the phone and knew he could not win this converstion with her Because she's too stubborn He thought
"Ok. but call me if you changed your mind, the offer still open" Ren said defeatedly
Kyoko giggled "Well like I said thank's for the offer and I'll call you if I really need a ride ok?"
Present
Still with her fast pace. Kyoko looked up with her cell. I can't possibly call him now, after I rejected his offer. If I had known that my bike's chain will loose, I would have just accepted it! and now Im gonna be late for my first lead role meeting. Kyoko was not attentive to her surroundings due to her deep thoughts and...
Suddenly there was a shadow that blindly collided with her that causes Kyoko to lose her balance and stumble to the ground.
Ow! that hurts! kyoko touched her butt as it landed on the ground and looked at the person who caused this. at her surprised it was a woman, a beautiful with Light brown hair that reaches to her waist. she wore blue jeans and stylish black V neck deep cuff top, where you can see her curves. (Oh Kami!) kyoko was mesmerized with the women in front of her and thought of her as an angel ah! no a princess fit for fairy kingdom. Kyoko was halfway on her lalala mode. when the beautiful women stood up and held her hand to offer kyoko assistance.
"Hey, are you okay?" the beautiful woman had worried on her face written "Im sorry, I was on a hurry and didn't saw you coming"
Kyoko took her hand and stand up "No, it was my fault for not paying attention to where i was walking" Blushed, patted the dust on her jeans.
The beautiful women grabbed kyoko and lightly touched her. It was like she was inspecting her.
"Ano? what are you doing?" kyoko asked.
"Thank God!, youre not injured" The beautiful women said with relief and with a serious face asked "are you sure youre okay?"
"Im fine thanks" Kyoko giggled "Ano? are you a fairy princess?"
Stunned by Kyoko's words and her question she laughed until there was tears in her eyes. Kyoko pouted and felt like she hurt the way she was laughing.
Wiping the tears away from her eyes "Im not a Fairy Princess, but my name is Hana, and you are?" Hana asked
"Im Kyoko Mogami, you can call me Kyoko if you like" Kyoko said
"Kyoko, what a cute name!" Hana cried and hugged kyoko as well.
"Umppff...I think Hana is more than a cute name than mine" Kyoko exclaimed her face turning red, just then she remembered something that make eyes wide and screamed.
"The Meeting!" Kyoko burst out Oh God! Im so so late!
Hana surprised by kyoko acts, remembered something similar too. "Im late for the meeting too!"
"Umm.. nice meeting you Ms. Hana-san" Kyoko said hurriedly
"Me too! Kyoko-san, next time let's chat okay with tea of course!" Hana said.
A minutes later Kyoko arrived at LME and hurriedly walked to the elevator before it closes.
"Pleaseeee... can I ride with it!" Kyoko looked like a hideous apparition and scared the wits of the passengers. "Umm.. s-sure" gulped as one of the brave passenger said "where t-to?"
"3rd floor please" Kyoko said quickly
*Ding* sound of the elevator
Immediately after the elevator opened. kyoko dashed to the LME corridor and stood in front of the door, where the meeting already started minutes ago. The sound of kyoko's heart was deafening and bit her lip nervously opened the door and practised her speech the moment she entered.
"I- I sorry for being l-late, my bike's chain was loose and I tried calling a cab but the traffic was too heavy, and I-I had to run here! I am very sorry!" as she nervously shouted announcing herself. Bowing and cleching her fists, she was beet red from her face, ears and hands.
The people in the hall went dead silent with her words and started laughing. kyoko who was still bowing position lifted her head and confused thought why are they laughing?. Ren didn't wait for a second and was at kyoko's side and whispered "I was right offering you the ride and if it was not because of your stubborness, this shoudn't had happened" Ren said with his infamous smile. Kyoko bit her lip and sensed the Demon Lord aura meter "I-I am vvv-eerrryy ssoorryy" kyoko cried.
Ren felt guilt as he saw kyoko cried and his Demon Lord subside "Mogami-san, it's okay, Don't cry now, it's not your fault about your bike but next time let me pick you up and drive ok?" Ren wiped her tears away.
*sniff* "ok, I am sorry" Kyoko blushed
Not aware by their environment a small cough was heard by the two and instantly Ren and Kyoko looked thought the source. It was Director Ogata, blushing and cleared his throat.
"Good Morning, Kyoko-san, I understand why you were late and I am pleased to say that I am happy that I will be working with you and Tsuruga-san after Darkmoon ended"
Kyoko caught by surprised "I am also honored to be working with you again Director Ogata-san, please take care of me again" Kyoko bowed
"Umm.. I think that would be the other way around but Im glad" Ogata-san waved at same time shook his head. "Kyoko-san, Tsuruga-san you may take your seat, we are still waiting for someo-"Ogata's words were cut off as the door swung opened and revealed another person.
*huff* *huff* "I- I am so sorry I was late, my car was out of gas and there was traffic and I had to run along here!"
As Kyoko was about to sit down glanced at the person who cam late just like, also with the crowd. "Ms. Hana-san!" kyoko exclaimed and covered her mouth by her shriek. Hana caught by her familiar voice responded. "Kyoko-san!, wow! so your an actress, if I had known we should have left together, I used the shortcut but in turns out to be the longcut though" Hana squeeled with delight.
Ogata-san who was beside Hana asked "so you two met already?"
"Umm..yeah we bump each other a while ago" Hana smiled
"Since all the cast are already here, we should start the meeting" Ogata said as he led Hana through her seat and continued " Until I met you will be filming mostly outside the country and that is Paris, but first we should introduced ourselves and the characters you will be potraying, I am Director Ogata, but you can call me Ogata-san" as soon as Ogata-san introduced himself he nodded to his left side to continue.
"Good morning, I am Ayumi, I will be playing the role of Aki Kotsumi, this will be my first time filming outside, so please take care of me" bowed Ayumi.
"Hey guys! I am Kijima, I will be playing Arata, pleasure to work with you..." Kijima said winking to Hana
Hana raised left eyebrow but the smiled "Hello, again Im sorry to be late but as they said better to be late than never" crowd laughs
*coughs* "Ahem, I am Hana Fenton, I will be playing Beatrice Knight, This will be my first time acting, but please don't be nice to me and take care of me" Hana felt her cheeks burning.
"Don't worry about that Ms. Hana, everybody has their first time and Im sure the producers didn't pick you out if you weren't capable of the role" Ogata responded.
And as soon as the other characters introduced themselves, it was Ren's turn next.
"I am Tsuruga Ren, I will be playing the role of Darien Young" Ren said and flashed his gentleman smile and all the women who were in the hall blushed except kyoko though
Oho.. the Tsuruga smile effect again Yashiro thought
"I-I am Kyoko Mogami, I will be playing M-Miki, pleased to meet you everyone and please take care of me too" Kyoko said nervously
"Alright, now that everyone has said their characters, we will talk about the plot of the story" Director Ogata blabbered. It took hours before the meeting ended. And before kyoko could escape. Ren grabbed kyoko's left arm. "What's your next destination Mogami-san, I will take you there, my offer's still on" Ren said. Kyoko turned and said
"Umm.. I still have Box-R, and I can walk it from here". Just then kyoko's Demon meter perks up and there it was the dark aura that hinding beneath his smile.
"I believe, I asked you this morning for a ride, you turned it down though as the result, you were late and again I am asking you, it seems you were planning on turning me down again" threateningly smiling.
*Gulped* "O-of course n-not, I-I am thinking of getting a ride though, I am still tired from running, t-thank you Tsuruga-sempai" kyoko shivered and was scared in her entire life.
so evil. Yashiro thought
"Before we go, Tsuruga-san, can I go to the comfort room first, just fixing my hair for a bit" kyoko shyly said.
"Sure, yashiro and I will be waiting for you at the lobby" Ren said.
Kyoko hurriedly went to the women's CR and locked herself in one of the cubicles. That scared me, why was he so angry about! kyoko was about to come out when she heard two girls coming and gossiping. She thought of ignoring it but stopped as it mentioned the familiar name.
"Can you believe it! Hana Fenton is also one of the cast of Until I met you" squeeled by one of the girls.
"I read in the news, she is one of the top models here in japan and america, she was no.1 in most beautiful women here in japan and no.2 in america aside from Ms. Julie Hizuri, she also sings and now acting!" cried by the other girl.
WoW! she really is indeed fit for a fairy princess kyoko thought and continued eavesdropping
"But why did she land only with the supporting role?, isn't she fit for the lead role instead, besides why would "that" kyoko get the lead role the first place, when I saw her in the darkmoon, she was really evil!" the other girl exclaimed
yeah! yeah! whatever you say, so im evil huh?, mio was just cursed by an evil witch kyoko grumbled
"I don't think that Kyoko is that bad, didn't you see her latest drama from box-r, she was super sexy there and wild, and mio as you said it was difficult character, I think not all actresses can play with that role only her, so I think she really is a great actress" the other girl defended
Kyoko who was listening blushed and smiled. she could not believe that other people could recognized her talents and now she was hearing one of them! (through eavesdropping)
She heard muttering of one of the girls and was curious as to what she said and slowly opened the cubicle door and heard.
"But that was 3years ago!" the other girl whined
"well yeah, but even though it was 3years ago working with her again, their would be a possibility that feelings would change"
"guess your right.."
3years ago Kyoko curiously thought
The other girl continued "After all seeing and working together again specially in the drama could make it possible"
"Since Ren Tsuruga and Hana Fenton dated 3 years ago!"
