OVERSEAS MIRACLES
Chapter 48
Unsolved Situation
Here we a have a stupid lazy piggy Sho, well, according to his new manager is lying down flatly on the couch, browsing some recorded celebrity news that concerns about him for the month. He can't help smirking slyly at how his fans adore him with all their hearts. It just made his ego inflates more and more. And he really really really loves the feeling.
"Ahhh… I wonder how I am going to embrace all these fans if they keep on multiplying every single day. Heh. That damn beanstalk of a pinhead will soon be kneeling down before me." He expressed his narcissistic mirth nonchalantly, imagining Tsuruga Ren turning his back with his tail between his legs. He continued gliding his finger on his touch screen phone until he accidentally pressed the play button of another gossip clip
" EH? Natsu-sama.. no, I mean Kyoko-chan is already taken?" the female host gasped in shock and so as the audience."
Now this had grabbed the young musician's ears then his brows widened in surprise and anger. As the clip plays along, the more his irritation rose to a volcanic level. Every word that came out from the hosts is equivalent to a thorny twitch on his ears.
"Who the hell this no-name France Bracken? And that soul-sucking demoness victimized him. Grrrrr… You idiot of a woman! Going out with another man? What? Have Tsuruga Ren dumped you and you immediately throw your body to other men? Hmp. That's because you're just a plain, boring and no sex appeal mousey maid."
"That guy is too obvious that he likes her. I mean, they seem to get along so well. Not to mention that intimate-looking picture." The other female spoke naughtily, referring to the photo where France is holding her from behind while grinning mischievously.
That unfolded scene had instantly turned him into the flaming Nio form. He roared in fury at the sweet and lovely picture slide show of France Bracken and Kyoko Mogami. And without thinking, he rose from his lying position threw his phone up the ceiling.
"Once he saw the broken pieces aimlessly landed on the floor, he returned back to his senses. "SHIT!" He kicked the table violently 'till it hits the wall.
"You think you're trying to step on me? You're just nothing, KYOKO!" He grumbled grumpily then he shouted her name ferociously on his last sentence.
On the other hand, Yuu, his manager is a little bit concerned at his charge's odd triggering behavior. He never had expected that the ever cool guy Sho is still just an immature brat. With that, he better straighten up his charge's attitude as soon as possible. He won't tolerate such childish behavior when it comes to work just because of a certain lurking Kyoko-chan. So the first thing he has to know is the connection between him and Mogami Kyoko. If he has the slightest chance to meet Aki Shouko, then she will surely be a help for him.
"He's saying as if he owns her! Damn you, coconut husk!" And here he has it. He got a name for France Bracken because of his light brown shag cut hair. Well, France's hair cut is not nearly like a coconut. The bowl cut is absolutely like a coconut husk cut into halves. He's just looking for a title for his own satisfaction to bring down a person.
"I guess he just knew the news about Kyoko-chan. Heck, it was just a rumor. Why does he have to be too stressed over it? Jealousy? Geez, this kid is a pain in the butt. He's in Nio form now for sure. I can now understand how you felt, Shouko-san." The manager murmured as he slightly pinched his nose in annoyance.
Still in a parking lot, the famous Tsuruga Ren couldn't bottle his feelings any longer as he cried softly on the wheel of the car. He felt horrifyingly lost for the fact that he doesn't have any freaking idea how to make things better in this relationship. All he thought was love is all about sweet affectionate memories. This man who's a total expert in pleasing women is just a complete amateur in handling romantic relationship with the woman he chose to be with.
This love can be mysterious, wonderful, confusing, and doubtful and… painful, so lost. He has to admit he has no a tiny bit of experience of how to deal in their current situation. Way back when he was a in his mid-teens, he would happily agree if a girlfriend of his asked for a break up. This time, he doesn't know how to refuse if ever Kyoko demands a break up.
"Yes, Mr. Winston? Uhuh. I see. Thanks." She shut her phone and slipped it inside her hand bag. Ren stayed silent, waiting for her next action.
In her mind, Kyoko felt awful for herself. From the beginning, she should have known the consequences better than anyone. She should not be surprised if women are swooned by Ren's presence even though he didn't do something with it.
'He's not moving the car. I made him angry. This is my entire fault. I shouldn't have screamed at him. I shouldn't have been too jealous.' She wanted to hit herself hard.
"You can go ahead somewhere without me for a while before we transform to Heel Siblings, Ren. Mrs. Hizuri wants to meet me. I'll just take a taxi." She spoke without looking at him as she open the car's door.
"Just tell me where you are going to meet her. I'll drive you going there." Ren profusely caught her arm before she could get out. The tone of weakness and fear is audible in his husky voice.
"No, it's okay." She struggled to have him let go of her arm. Just when the time she glanced at his direction, she saw a couple of trail of tears painted on his charming face.
'Did he just cry? Why?' She thought in concern. Looking at his damped face made her heart beat in a slow aching manner. 'Maybe because he was too irritated to the point that he doesn't know what to do to me anymore.' Thinking of that kind of assumption brought her to a painful fear of this fragile situation in their relationship.
"Ren. I have to go now. I don't want Mrs. Hizuri to wait for me any longer. I'm really sorry if I have troubled you, Ren. I won't be a bother anymore." She pulled her hand away from him and rushed outside of the car.
Ren was not too quick enough to catch up. He got stunned when she just apologized all of a sudden. Her words caught him and it took long for him to process the meaning. Just when he realized she was out of his touch, he hurriedly came out of the car and found her running out of the exit. Without thought, he ran as fast as he could, hoping he can catch up with her. He frowned, knowing that he failed to find her presence gone into the sea of people.
Thanking herself for grabbing a taxi, she peeked out of the window to see if he had followed her. To her disappointment, all she could see is a crowd of busy walking people.
'He just allowed me to go without chasing me… gah! What are you thinking, Kyoko? Tsuruga Ren is better off those good looking bombshells. I'm just an ordinary person.' She thought sadly, fighting within herself not to break down.
Back to Ren, he walked dreadfully back to the car like a lonely donkey carrying a mountain of loads on his back. He wanted somebody to kick his ass, bang his head on the wall and done. Unlocking his phone, he tried to reach her but it immediately beeped to voicemail. Since he doesn't have any choice, he left a message for her to meet him at Jelly Wood's quarters when she is done.
An hour later, Julie was so happily dragging Kyoko from boutique to boutique in her very own mall. Yes, Julie Hizuri owns a huge fashion mall where many designer brands are all found in there aside from hers. What can she say? She got everything done for the day and she has a spare time to loosen up before dinner. During their little shopping journey, she has noticed that her daughter isn't quite in her usual demeanor. Kyoko usually protests every time she wiped her card. But now, she didn't seem to bother. It made her suspicious of what had been bothering her gloomy daughter lately.
"Did you have a fight with France, Kyoko dear?" Julie blurted out her question as to distract her 'daughter' when they arrived in her spacious office.
"Huh? What made you think of that, okaa-san? We're not even somewhere near dating!" Kyoko protested at her 'mother's' false assumption. 'It's with Ren, okaa-san. I'm really sorry if I can't tell you.'
"Really? You look like a girl who just had a fight with her boyfriend." Julie said as she took a seat beside her lovely daughter. "If that's not the case then care to share what's making you a little mood. Were you annoyed when I call you to come here? I'm sorry dear." Julie placed her hand on Kyoko's small ones and gave her a soft loving squeeze.
Kyoko felt like she would cry in tears of joy just because of this simple action that Julie made her feel. She had got to feel what a mother's touch like and she will do everything she can to hold on to this affection that is bestowed upon to her.
"No, it's not about the shopping, okaa-san. I'm really sorry if I gave that kind of impression to you." She bowed apologetically. In return, Julie gave her a heart-warming smile and allowed her to continue. 'I'm the luckiest child alive to have Julie-okaa-san as my mother.' She thought heartily.
"To make things straight, I'm troubled because I don't know how to give my best friend in Japan an advice on what to do to fix their breaking relationship. It saddens me a lot because she really loves him too much then in some point that something came up which had cause their current critical situation. According to her, during her shoot, she saw her co-star flirting with her boyfriend and she got intensely jealous at their interaction. After the director end their scene, she had a short chat with another male co-star of hers and after that, she got scolded by her boyfriend for being too friendly with the male. Without thought, she screamed at him and defended that the guy was just being kind and in the end, they ended up not talking to each other. She doesn't know what to do since this is the first time she had ever fall in love so deeply. I, who doesn't have any bit of experiences about love can't give her the words she needs. I awfully feel like a bad friend. What am I going to say to her, okaa-san?
Julie can read the hurt in her eyes. 'Can she really that act that hurt when it comes to her best friend? She sounds like she wasn't referring to her BFF. Hmmm, I'll let this slide for now."
In at the same moment, Ren was in a phone call with his best friend, Yashiro Yukihito. Supposedly, he was to contact the president about his problem but he instantly changed his made for who knows that that 'love addict' might do to him.
"You stupid boy! Do you have to shout at her that way? Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!" Ren pulled his phone a little away from his ears at his manager's scream. He cursed for he knows that he is going to be tortured for sure.
