He strolled into the parking lot, another day of acting done. It had gone rather well, considering he only made a few mistakes compared to yesterday's train wreck!

Yukihito said he would get a taxi home, so Ren ran to his silver Lexus LF LC, seeing a note stuck on his window wipers. He grabbed it, thinking it was a parking ticket, but just saw neat handwriting in blue, addressing to him. He stared at it thoughtfully; fan mail was always posted to LME! The scent was familiar though, like fresh lilies. He got in the car, tore open the letter and saw a date. It was tomorrow's date along with a location: the old fountain in the city park. Right at the bottom, it said, "We need to talk. Please come! Twelve sharp."

He was surprised. No one had given him a letter this strange before. 'Maybe it's from Kyoko!' He thought, starting up the car. He quickly drove home, impatient for tomorrow. He was sure the note was from Kyoko. Who else would want to talk to him? It definitely wasn't a fan. He remembered that there were always two guards standing outside the entrances, catching any crazy girl that dared to enter.

It was Saturday tomorrow. He had a day off from the movie (Angel) but he had to film a commercial for a new brand of cologne at ten-thirty! Knowing Fujiwara, the director, he would keep him back until the early morning if he was allowed to! Maybe he could explain the letter to him... Would it work? 'It might. But it might not...' Ren pondered over the idea for the next fifteen minutes before giving up. He'd just have to get it perfect the first time.

Opening the fridge, he took out a plastic container filled to brim with pasta. It was boiled in tomato purée and tuna, one of Ren's favourites! He placed a bowl with the pasta into his microwave and pulled his cell phone out of his pocket.

From: Yukihito

Message: LISTEN REN, IF YOU WANNA BE ALIVE TOMORROW, YOU BETTER EAT SOMETHING! DX"

He sighed. "At least I know he cares..." When the microwave beeped, he hurriedly took out his meal, diced half a cucumber, poured it into the bowl and scoffed it down like there was no tomorrow! When he was done, he wrote another entry into his "journal:"

'Kyoko! Why can't you just be blunt with me and reject me instead of leading me on in a life of unrequited love?! It's killing me... But I will meet you tomorrow! I will! I don't care what Fujiwara says anymore. You're the love of my life and I can't last without you! If only (and I have said this before) you were mine! I swear, you are the first thing on my list of priorities and you always will be.

Ren Tsuruga.'

He stripped off and changed into a pair of sweatpants. He quickly brushed his teeth and lay in his bed, excited for the next day.


Hey guys. Sorry for the wait, my aunt past away and I was caught up with that. I'm also depressed but I will try to update quickly! As a side note, I noticed that I never wrote about Ren brushing his teeth or changing in the two previous chapters; let's just pretend he did all that before writing in his "journal" as he calls it... :D Review please!
