[Kasuka's POV]
The actor gripped his boyfriend's hand during the ride to work, eyes cast to the ceiling of the vehicle as he got ready to face the day. The one he was worried about facing the most was Dong-Yul. If the man wasn't there then there was a good chance that he wouldn't be coming back at all, hopefully not popping up again like Shara did, but if he was there then he was almost certain that there would be a threat or confrontation.
Of course, he tried not to worry about that outcome too much. It was pretty obvious that Dong-Yul hadn't been the pure evil in the situation, from what he'd gathered all Dong-Yul had really done was send them the letters to scare them and just wanted to see them hurt, nothing actually serious. Nothing unforgivable.
I still can't forgive him for putting us in that danger though. Without his help, it probably would have taken Nakura longer to go through with his plan and there would have been less for him to manage on his own as well, probably just a kidnapping instead of a murder.
Kasuka was pulled out of these thoughts by the tug on his hand, letting him know the informant beside him was worried for him. He must have been frowning again.
"If anything happens, we can call Shinnosu or your brother; whoever's closer. They'll help us." Izaya reassured, making the actor nod and give him a thankful smile before he pulled the informant close. He wanted to pull him all the way into his lap but they were almost to work and people guessed that they were a couple already. No need to fuel the fire. They'd already had enough excitement..
The two finally pulled up to the set and separated themselves, Toren helping them out of the limo before they went off to their own dressing rooms, checking what they had to do.
Since they had skipped work yesterday there was quite a lot, another couple fittings for clothes, two episodes that they had to try and shoot in as little time as possible - which just meant that they would be using a teleprompter more than usual, which both of them hated.. But besides that it was just business as usual, remember lines, decide how you're going to move and try shooting it all. Simple.
The actor glanced outside of his workplace again, scanning the area to see if Dong-Yul was at work or not. So far he hadn't see the man but- There was was!
Kasuka watched the other for a second, praying that he didn't try to come over to his own or Izaya's work space but he noticed that the man didn't seem too interested in straying from his own room of cameras. He looked to be running on auto-pilot at the moment, just checking cameras and setting them down again, not even smiling like he normally was. And even when he had been plotting against the two of them, he had never stopped smiling.
This could be very good or very bad…
Kasuka kept worrying himself for a moment before going back to his couch and trying to focus on his lines. He had enough work to do without thinking of vengeful tech managers and the death of evil others. Just focus..
Almost as soon as he did focus, twenty minutes of attempting later, there was a knock on his door. Please be Izaya. he thought to himself as he answered the door, his neutral expression getting a little more tense as it did turn out to be Dong-Yul.
"They want you on stage already." was all the Korean announced, face blank and hands in his pockets as he was about to move on, obviously not in the mood for talking. Kasuka, however, decided that he wanted a talk. He opened the door further and took Dong-Yul by the sleeve, dragging him back in the room before shutting his door. Dong-Yul stumbled in further from the sudden movement, eyes now wide as he backed away from Kasuka.
"L-Look, I already apologized for the other night! I know you probably can't forgive me, but it's over you don't have to-"
"I'm not going to kick your ass. I just want to know what ended up happening to Shara. We never got a call about her." Kasuka demanded swiftly, not wanting to hear more apologies. They were genuine, the actor had always been very good at judging that, but he still didn't want to hear it from the other man.
Dong-Yul just looked down at the mention of Shara, jaw clenching as he appeared to be sick. "She's, uh.. she's dead now.. For real. That doctor guy and the biker made me.. they told me do it myself to make sure I didn't tell anyone about them and you two.." the Korean admitted slowly, visibly shaking as he kept his eyes averted. Kasuka just watched him, feeling something close to sympathy as he imagined how that must have gone.
For all that he'd done Dong-Yul wasn't a murderer, but he'd been forced to act like an executioner. The actor could practically hear him trying to talk them out of it, begging them to do something about it instead, but neither of them listening.
Shinra had been adamant enough to let Nakura die in the first place, there was no way he'd be backing down just because of an accomplices own morals. Unless, of course, they were Shinra's own accomplices.
Both of the men were silent as a couple moments passed, Dong-Yul still trying to compose himself while Kasuka wondered what to do. The silence was interrupted by another knock on the door, this time by some random intern who was looking for them both. "I'll be out in a moment." Kasuka called out to her, waiting for a moment for her to leave before looking to Dong-Yul again.
Dong-Yul froze perfectly still as Kasuka went closer to him and put a hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry you were put through that. It shouldn't have happened… But thank you for making sure this all won't happen again." was all Kasuka said, not sure about anything else at the moment, before he let him go and walked out to continue his work.
