Dear readers, I know it's been waaaaaaay too long since my last update. I have been traveling during the April and wrote a lot during flights etc. but when I was just about to post it, my computer decided to wave a goodbye and broke down, deleting all my data. I felt so bad, that I kinda didn't want to do anything about writing, however I should thank Beauty's Black7 for writing to me, asking to post the new chapter, it helped me to motivate myself. I hope you will like it, it's quite short, but I promise to write more in the next chapters. I will try to update soon:) please leave your reviews and any suggestions on how I can improve the plot or generally my writing.

The drive to the Box-R set was extremely awkward. Both Kyoko and Ren wanted to say something, but neither of them was ready to start the talk. When they finally arrived, after 20 minutes of complete silence, Ren parked the car and turned to face Kyoko.

«Mmm…so, yeah…we are here»

«Yeah… So, I guess I'll be going now. Thank you for the ride Tsuruga-san»

As soon as she said that, she left.

What the hell? She just left? After what has happened, she didn't even bother to say anything. But to be fair neither did I…

Ren banged his head on the steering wheel, letting out a loud sigh

"Damn…"

He sighed again, then shook his head, straightened up and drove away, trying to block the thought about her, clearly not being very successful at actually doing it.

KYOKO'S POV

Meanwhile Kyoko was walking to the set, with similar kind of thoughts. She didn't want to face him any time soon. Their lift accident was still too fresh in her memory, her feelings were still there, and she was scared of them, scared to become vulnerable, open up to him and then be discarded again. She also understood that there was no way for her to avoid Ren. Takarada's test set her clear goals and it has clearly involved Ren, so if she ever wanted to escape the pink nightmare, she had no choice, other than meeting with sempai soon. At least it was the lesser of two evils.

She walked into the Box-R working area, fixed her make up, got into the Natsu mode and went to greet her friends, who were chatting sitting on the sofas in the waiting area.

"Heey, Natsu, long time no see! Where have you been? Did you secretly elope with a hottie from the crew and ran away into the sunset to have your lovey-dovey holidays?"

One of the girls asked, standing up to give Natsu a greeting hug

"Eeh? No, have you seen the crew guys? Gosh, they are sure, as hell not "hotties", if I am ever to run away on holidays, that would have to be at least someone like Tsuruga Ren, and it would surely be not just lovey-dovey, but a sexy holiday"

Kyoko inside her head was all red from embarrassment, but Natsu character would have none of it, Natsu was supposed to be all or nothing, and a confident straightforward speaker, who would say what she thought. And of course she had high standards.

All other girls blushed, but moved closer in, clearly exited by the topic. But who wouldn't be excited by The Tsuruga Ren? He was a №1, most desired man in the whole Japan. He had everything to excite any female.

"If there is someone who can get him, it is surely you Natsu. I mean has anyone seen him with a woman in the last year or so? He is either too cautious, secretly married or gay, and I'm quite inclined to believe it is not the first two."

How can she even suggest THAT about senpai! He is surely not gay and not married; I have felt the full extent of his orientation not even an hour ago! But to be fair… I have never seen him with woman, outside the set or a party…

"Oh, so you think he is not available?" Natsu asked, "May be he needs to face a real temptation now, huh? Should I choose him as my new pray?"

The girls all looked at her shocked, but then smiled mischievously and giggled. Everyone thought it was going to be amazing and very entertaining to watch the "ALL-MIGHTY" Tsuruga fall. Everyone wanted to be a part of a plan.

"Natsu, you should totally do this! Now, we need to develop strategy! How do you seduce a man? No, even harder, how do you seduce Tsuruga Ren?"

REN'S POV

The poor Ren had no idea that his future torture was being discussed at the exact moment. He drove back to LME to meet Yashiro. His mood even worse than earlier that day. He couldn't stop thinking about Kyoko. Her soft sweet lips, her slim waste in his embrace, her full breasts against him, how it would feel to …

I've got to stop thinking about her that way, its not helping at all.

He could feel his pants getting a bit too tight, and he didn't want anyone to notice it. The pent up sexual frustration caused by abstinence from sexual activity was taking its toll on him.

Damn, it's hard… how long has it been, since I had been laid? No healthy man in his twenties should go through this. So many beautiful women who'd gladly spread their legs, as soon as I ask, but I do not lust for them, I know there'll be no satisfaction in it, ah, what a vicious circle.

Ren had had sex with other women, when he just have been starting falling for Kyoko, but he soon realized that while he got physical release, emotionally he was not satisfied, quite the opposite actually – every time after he fucked someone, he would feel terrible. He realized he didn't want anyone other than Kyoko in his arms. Even simple touches and just spending time with her made him more emotionally satisfied and exited than any sexual intercourse. Thus he stopped, but it was still difficult.

He parked his car and went to search for Yashiro, hoping that when he'd get to work, he will be able to distract himself from all that has been bothering him.
