Hey everyone! Thanks for my exams to be over and for me to post this chapter! Enjoy!

Yashiro stared blankly at the large screen television at Haneda Airport as he waited for his and Ren's flight to Hokkaido for filming. His mind was, after all, somewhere else. In fact, he was thinking about the peculiar relationship that had developed between his charge and a young lady, Mogami Kyoko. He could not imagine what had made them warm up to each other so much, at least compared to before.

Just then, Kyoko-chan's face flashed on the screen. Speak of the devil. Maybe I should try asking Ren again, but he's just so tight-lipped! Oh well, no harm trying. Perhaps seeing Kyoko-chan's face would put him in a good mood. "It's Kyoko."

Ren turned, tucking his hands into his pockets. "Ren… did you tell Kyoko that we have to film elsewhere so we'll be leaving Tokyo for a week or so?" Well, that's one of the subtle ways to broach the subject of Mogami Kyoko. Anyway, even if they're not going out, they are still friends or something like that right? He should have told her something like this, since I presume that they frequently talk over the phone?

"Huh? Nope… why do we need to tell her?" We? I said you! And, what's with the 'why need to tell her'? What exactly is their relationship like? Why is it so difficult to figure out? Argh!

"You two…" Yashiro paused. How am I supposed to say this? 'Are you crushing on each other and refusing to admit it?' "…Were very friendly to each other last week, right?" Even if you don't want to admit it, but you should at least tell her that you're going out of town! What if she needs to find you? Shouldn't you WANT her to find you? I thought something happened between you two when I was sick!

Ren looked at Yashiro, clearly puzzled. "Really? We were always the same, nothing changed…"

Don't give me that! What do you mean no change! The change is tremendous! "No, there are changes." Whether you want to admit it or not. "The most obvious change is…" Ren looked at him expectantly, "…the way you look at Kyoko… Your eyes are more gentle now."

Ren stared dumbfounded at Yashiro, like he didn't have an inkling to what Yashiro was talking about. "Really?" He sweat-dropped. Surely he would know if he was looking at her differently right? After all, he was an actor. He would be aware of the expressions he puts on his face. Right?

Yashiro nodded. "Yeah. A soft gaze that'll melt the heart of even the most cold hearted girl."

"Is that so?" So he really has no idea, huh?

One of the co-actors of the movie they were filming called out to them, "Hey, Ren! C'mon!"

"Ah…" Ren started towards them, "Looks like we can go. We should get going now, or else the plane will leave us here."

"Ren, there's something else I want to ask." I'm still curious about the stamp thing! I really doubt that you chose the wrong stamp! Are you purposely making her agitated? If so, that probably means that… you are in love with her! Definitely!

"Alright." Ren smiled a genuine smile. "You can ask me later." I'm sure that smile means that I can most probably get some truths out of him later.

Yashiro was still thinking about that incident with Kyoko. Ren had refused to give him any details. It was the same story over and over again. 'I simply took the wrong stamp.' Like I would believe that! Her words must have hurt you! Just admit it! Yashiro spent the whole day with thoughts like that revolving in his mind. Of course he could multitask and do his work at the same time; it was a mindless thing to him now. I mean Kyoko is the tenth girl who has come so close to Ren since I've been his manager. Of course, in the end, Maria was too much for any of them. But even Maria completely approves of her. Ren, just be in love with her already!

Ren finally finishes the scenes for that day as Yashiro was still trying to figure out whether Ren was bluffing him or not. Yashiro chose that moment to vent his frustrations on Ren. "I really don't understand you."

Ren blinked. What? "What don't you understand? Just out of the blue…"

Yashiro continued to glare at him. "You are…" he paused to find the right words, "really prudent in terms of both judgment and decision. Someone like you can't possibly choose the wrong stamp."

Ren pulled on his jacket. "You still won't let that go?" Ren seemed resigned. "We already discussed that on the plane. That 100 points was really an accident." Bullcrap.

"I really feel sorry for Kyoko-chan…" Hehehe… I must phrase this properly so he will finally answer my real question as to whether he has a crush on Kyoko or not. Taking out his handkerchief, Yashiro pretended to sob. "Even if it was a mistake, you did not have to add a minus stamp." Sob. "It would not be too much to give her full points." Sob. "I did not think you were such a cold-hearted person, I am so sad." Sob. Sob. "Kyoko-chan worked hard for you!" Yashiro peeked from behind his handkerchief.

Ren's expression made him shiver. Is it me or did the temperature just drop? "Her efforts weren't really for me." Yes! He is getting there! It worked after all! "She was just trying to make sure that I didn't have any trouble with my work, because of her sense of duty. Because of that self-satisfaction, I couldn't give her the full points."

Aha! That's all I needed to hear! It's as good as a confession from a criminal! "I see." I was right all along. "So at first you gave her 100 points, but after hearing about that you gave her negative points."

"Ah! This…" Ren seemed to have noticed that he as good as gave a confession to what he did to Kyoko when he'd been denying it all the way.

"So that's it. I thought that you weren't telling the whole story… So I wanted to make sure." Haha! So finally there's a girl you like! You had no reaction at all to all the nine girls before her that were close to you! Kyoko's the only one you treat different! "You are too childish. Changing what you had already done. But I understand how you feel. You thought she tried her best for you, but it turned out to be out of responsibility. Anyone would be disappointed. Especially when you like a girl you will feel even more awful." I will finally see Ren with a girlfriend soon. It's too boring with no girls around. Teasing him will be so much fun!

"Huh?" Ren looked confused.

"Eh?" What 'huh'? What kind of reaction is that?

"No… I… Even though I don't dislike her, but I subtracted points from her because she does not understand what being a LoveMe member is about. Nothing to do with the like thing you're talking about…" What's this kid talking about!? Your expression is so gentle when you look at her! I have NEVER seen it on your face before! Unless… Ren… This guy looks like he is experienced in love, but he's completely clueless about love! HOLY CRAP! HE DESERVES TO BE IN LOVEME TOO!

As soon as Ren was back to work, Yashiro pulled out his notebook and jotted down his findings for that day. Ren may look like a gentleman who has had many girlfriends before, but he is utterly ignorant about love. (I only found this out now because he did not have any reaction to the nine girls before. Kyoko is the best thing that happened so far!) Yashiro nodded to himself. The pages he set aside for jotting down Ren's personality, preferences and habits have increased exponentially recently and it is all thanks to Mogami Kyoko.

Thanks for reading! Please review! :D
