Part 2
One slip happened after her recent update and Kyoko Mogami's avid fans got a short glimpse of her foreign beau's face and made a quick download in case of deletion and PR damage control.
And her fans were right, it didn't take long when Kyoko took down her post and had the audacity to replace it with an emoji doing a peace sign.
Most fans that knows Kyoko would think she was panicking, but in reality Kyoko and Kuon had been scheming and slowly revealing the Eternal Butterfly's hot gaijin for the past couple of months, and decided to be obvious with their moves.
Now, the couple was sent back to Kyoto to have little rest for at least a week, allowing the reveal to blew up all the social media sites causing them to be the top trend for two whole days straight. Kyoko and Kuon was off social media and currently relaxing in their favorite spot back in Kyoto.
A small foldable canopy and a soft blanket kept them comfortable as they bask in fresh air and cuddle.
Meanwhile, "Start mowing if you want to stay here" Otsukinoji shoving rake and cap towards Yashiro who had been fanboying over his charges.
This was followed by loud collective laughter, "Ahhh... yes, Mogami-san and his infatuation to forced labor. Good luck, Yashiro-san!" Otsukinoji's friends joked as they continue to help in the kitchen.
Kuon on the other hand, despite comfortably and happily snuggling with his girlfriend chuckled anxiously and Kyoko was quick to notice, "What's wrong?" she asked.
Kuon shifted her on his chest and gave her nose a kiss, "Nothing, I just feel bad all the guys are helping out maintaining the house and yard while Im here basking in comfort and happiness." he joked and Kyoko rolled her eyes.
"If you're that guilty, why don't you help me get some few stuff and decorate our room?" she winked and Kuon grinned ear-to-ear.
Kuon hastely helped Kyoko up and changed into comfortable matching clothes and slapped on some disguise. They borrowed the President's pick-up truck for the trip to Tokyo and the fancy man instead gave it as a gift to the couple.
They went to the nearest furniture shop, Kuon was enjoying on testing the stuff and questioning the poor sales rep. in English. Kyoko was in hysterics as the poor middle aged man was doing his best to explain to Kuon with matching body action to make his point across.
"You know, Otto speaks English when he does not want to deal with people and pretends to be a foreigner too." Kyoko whispered and Kuon snorted.
Since the room was painted gray, the couple liked it already, but Kuon suggested they add white for contrast and Kyoko loved the idea. Heading to the hardware they bought a bucket of paint and called her brother what else are needed if they're going to do a aint job, since the foor was hard stained wood, they were obliged to get some tarp and other protective gears.
Getting home they found podor Yashiro passed out and withering my the back door with the ginger cat sitting on the back of his heat. Kuon stiffled his laughter and quickly snapped a picture to upload. He'll make his presence again as Tsuruga Ren, but this time as Kyoko's blonde beau.
Kuon then turned to Kyoko's brother carrying a small compressor, "What is that for?" Kuon asked.
The other blonde shrugged, "For the pain. Are you going to paint the room with only a roller and brush?" he looked disgusted.
Kuon was baffled by his reaction, "At least use air spray. Its more even and efficient." he said as he helped the couple cover the existing furnature in their room.
Kuon had to take a picture of Otsukinoji dealing with the aint job and posting it over his Twitter, "The level of efficiency and skill this kid has is making me feel like an incompetent adult. But here I was being reminded that the kid renovated a whole house and property in just a year."
It wasn't even an hour when his fans started to retweet and respond to his post with either laughing emojis and mutual feelings. Once he posted Yashiro's passed out picture with a cat on his head without any caption, this made Yashiro's fellow managers and colleagues, even the director react in a humorous manner.
But they were curious as to what happened. Kuon in true comedic manner responded with a picture without explaination.
Everyone who followed from the start would know after seing a blonde Mogami holding a slitting axe and looking out the window will get the meme.
"RIP to our new sacrificial lamb." wrote Kyoko in his comments.
Kuon responded, "He is now baptized. But I suggest he cools off now since tomorrow he'll be hauling branches with the handyboys." Kuon added.
Yashiro after dinner saw it and commented a crying emoji.
Their little Kyoto getaway helped calm things down with their fans, especially the domestic and humorous updates they were making online.
But since people now know Tsuruga Ren is originally blonde, plenty of gossip and shobiz media are asking if he's going to keep it that way. As much as Kuon wanted to he was known for his browish hair and would dye it for his roles.
One particular writer however loved his original state and this caused her to write a hit, action, romance and drama novel that empty the shelves in just a few months. Now, a producer and director teamed up with that writer to cast everyone's favorite gaijin as the main character.
Kuon was truly honored and immediately took the role, on the other hand Kyoko was given another assignment by their scheming president.
This caused the actress to be motivated since the eccentric man tasked to audition for the main female lead's role for Kuon's movie.
So far, they managed to cast all the male characters and on their way for the promotional pictorial for the ads.
Kuon getting to keep his blonde state for a while kept his male co-stars distracted, "Is there something wrong, Fuwa-san?" Ren asked and Sho snorted ignoring him.
Shoko apologized and thanked the LME president for the quick ride, together with them were Kijima and Murasame, "In mu defense, its really strange to see you all foreigner." Kijima said which made Kuon laugh.
"Don't worry, I'm used to it." Kuon mused but his co-stars kept eying him. "Boss, what's with the delay?" Kuon turned to Lory who then called for his personal aide.
The fancy man dressed in one of his elaborate cosplay then replied, "Traffic." There seemed to have an accident up ahead." he informed.
Kuon sighed and pulled out his phone, Yashiro grinned knowing who he was about to call, "Hey babe? Yeah... Traffic, no... Im okay, don't worry, you can ask Yuki later, I promise. Though... Im about to be late and... oh, really? Thanks! See you." he was conversing in English. The president and Yashiro are holding it in but they were about to burst in squeals.
Shortly, a roar of motorbike engine was heard beside the luxury limousine and a knock. Kuon stepped out the vehicle which caused a crowd of female population to shriek and squeal, those that were stuck in traffic pulled out their phones and flashed their cameras towards the actor who smiled and fiddled the zipper of the female biker's suit.
She looked badass and pipping hot flashing those curves from the tight suit. "These are for me to see and admire, I don't like sharing." he smirked and pulled up her zipper blocking the sight of her cleavage.
The lady biker then sexily straighted, leaned her sportsbike and took-off her helmet.
The three male celebrities inside the limo leaned out their heads from a single window figting to see Kyoko, "Sorry, babe... I was in a rush to get you." Just like the female onlookers, the male drivers and pedestrian oogled at the sight of the atractive actress in a very tight and tempting suit. "Here." making a slow turn to get the strapped helmet from the back and handed it to Ren.
"Thanks, baby." and publicly kissed her lips, Kyoko hid her blush by shoving the helmet on her head and helped Ren strap the gear. Kuon then took his place over her back ride and leaned to hold her hip. Following Kyoko is a line of biker boys.
"I kind if forgot Otsuki-kun and his handyboys are in town." Kuon chuckled from the call. Kyoko and Kuon's helmet was equipped with a radio that can connect to the president's vehicle and so as the boys following.
Yashiro casually hopped behind Otsukinoji's four-forty enduro and wore the offroad helmet, "You comfortable?" The young blonde asked.
"Yep." And scooted to hold on to the younger man. Gripping the handlebars tight and pulling the gas Otsukinoji managed to catch up with his sister and raced to the shooting like location.
The studio was in commotion when a bunch of bikers pulled up the studio's side garage, securities were called but when Ren and Kyoko took off their helmet and shared a kiss, "Thanks babe, I got here on time." he grinned, "And keep this closed, these are mine." he winked as he fiddled her zipper again.
"If you squeal on the mouthpiece, I'll drag you to clear the fucking pond overflow." Otsukinoji warned the manager who then shivered.
The director and producer who rushed to the scene turned to each other with a huge grin and made an understanding nod to each other, effortlessly Kyoko managed to grab the main female lead role, but she refused and requested to at least have the other participants a chance to audition to be fair.
Through, the director and producers were already set to have her play the role but respected her request and have the other ladies to audition.
Without question Kyoko's ability to act and be possessed by a character was no joke, "She is indeed the eternal butterfly." Lory was pleased that Kyoko delivered tenfolds and this made the President think of her graduation assignment.
The whole PDA scene from the traffic and made another top trend, Kuon's rabid fans that had been targeting Kyoko had been silent after her own followers started to bombard them.
Its another work day and Kyoko rolling in for work in sportsbike is a common occurance, male staff and co-stars would oogle and drool over her, and she was still oblivious of the hungry stares.
Immediately she was greeted by the hair and makeup staff and was pulled to be prepared for her scene with Ren.
The actor who's already having a meeting with the director looking through the monitor discussing a scene; noticed Kyoko.
Ren smiled from ear-to-ear and atted the director's shoulder and made a beeline to greet his girlfriend. Tsuruga Ren is very professional but once his weakness walks in the set, his all possessive and an idiot in-love. As what his future-brother-in-law commented.
The make-up artist working on Kyoko's lashes causing the actress to close her eyes, Ren took the chance to give her a kiss. This surprised the actress and about to hit whoever it was but found an innocently smiling boyfriend and a bleeding hair dresser and make-up artist. The poor staff was having a nose bleed from all the PDAs the couple share on set, "Hi?' he greeted.
Kyoko rolled her eyes, "And hello to you, too. Mind if you step out a bit. Your bothering the people,l working babe." Kyoko warned.
Ren heartily laughed, "They don't mind, right ladies?" he asked and they nodded.
Kyoko rolled her eyes, "Oh pipe it, gaijin. Go back to work." she pushed and Ren marched back in chuckles.
Turning his body and walking backwards, "Don't doll her up real good, I might get into trouble fending off more wolves." he winked and Kyoko shook her head.
The two women kept squealing and gushing over the celebrity couple's sweet relationship, "Gosh, many women would kill to be on your place, Kyoko-chan." And Kyoko definitely knows it.
Of course ahe was preared and ready to fend off any leech trying to snatch her beefcakes, "True, but I'm not the type to leave crumbs for them." she stated which caused the two older women to shriek louder.
For months of movie production, filming and weekly location travels the couple were finally done with their scenes and currently taking a long vacation back to Kyoto to visit their favorite unfrienly teen. And presently poor Yashiro is subject to another involuntary servitude and helping the handyboys chop some wood for the barbecue.
Otsukinojo managed to make a DIY brick grill and pit after Ren's suggestion. And of couse Ren despite feeling guilty all the guys are working still chose to snuggle with his girlfriend to the hammock he bought and attached by the apple tree.
"Babe? Is it just me or those little piggies are real? I mean we live near a forest but are they docile?" Ren tried to call them and shockingly the two little ones adorably oinked their way to Ren asking for food.
Yashiro saw them, "Oh! One is Akatsuki and the other is Lee-" Their manager stated, "Akatsuki-chan is Tenjou-san's while Lee-chan is Otto-kun's" Kyoko cooed at the two piglets.
"Lee?" Ren wondered.
Yashiro snorted, "For Le-chon." trying to hold his laughter, "I don't know if Otto-kun likes to make jokes or he's just fond of food." The poor piglet is named after a Filipino roasted pig dish.
Ren thought of the ginger cat and the parrot's name, "Mii-kun and Kara-chan..." both were named after Miso and Karage. "I feel bad for the next pet that comes to this house." Ren biting his lip doing his best not to laugh.
"You said something?" Otsukinoji appeared and handed him a basket, "Go and collect some lemon." Kuon chuckled and pulled Kyoko to come with him.
~End?~
Extra: Arboreal Presence
Ren and Kyoko has been a typical topic or trend online, especially Ren and Kyoko's posts with each other as content. But since Kyoko had been showing changes from both her body and habits some of her co-stars and colleagues started to speculate that Japan's top actor and gentleman got her knocked up.
The couple only laughed and denied the claim, "Of course we have a healthy se-" Kyoko covered his mouth stopping him on time but the audience as well as the hosts already gets it and started a squeal feast in the studio.
Ren's playful wink did not help sending his message across, "But we're careful. Of course if it's true, a baby's definitely welcome." she mischievously grinned.
"I just gained a bit of weight for a role, and Corn has been learning how to cook under my brother and I've been the subject of his feeding spree. I became a bit picky after my routine changed..." Kyoko admitted, "My daily routine consist of a three hours gym time and since I was casted to be Aubrey I need to gain a bit of weight as I was too small to fit her character description." Everyone knows how dedicated Kyoko is to her career and would do anything to ace her role and deliver tenfolds the amount expected from her.
When the host was about to ask another question suddenly a Parrot flew behind the sofa banging its beak to the window, and a huge black bear appeared trying to scare the bird. "Aaaaawk! Can't eat me!" the Parrot wobbled its head trying to tease the bear.
Everyone back in studio was confused at the background scene of the couple, loud roars from the bear, random meowing came and then the Parrot started barking, "BARK BARK, Shut-up cat!" Ren and Kyoko are holding their amusement at the situation, "Oink oink!" Lee appeared in the camera after he hopped on to the sofa and over Kyoko's lap.
"What is going on?" The host confused but still processing the scene.
Ren laughed, "Sorry, this is Le... for Lechon, the one in the back is Kara, for Karage and the bear is Potato-" Ren and Kyoko are back in Kyoto for another break but was suddenly called for a remote interview, Ren picked up the famous ginger cat, "And this is Miso. And we are not in a farm, but they are Otsukinoji's pets." Ren introduced.
Once Otsukinoji collected the animals and let them out in the back, their racket was muffled causing the audience to laugh, "Sorry about that, what was the question again, Amou-san?" Kyoko asked and they managed to return to the topic and cleared out the rumors about her pregnancy.
Suddenly the window behind them opened and it was another bear, Ren laughed and went to get a basket full of raspberries and blueberries and handed it to the waiting bear, it was store bought and washed for the animals.
"Sorry again." Kyoko giggled.
Ren was then given a piece by the bear as a thank you and Ren ate it to show his appreciation. The hosts were baffled at the scene, "I bet its a natural occurance that Tsuruga-san is now used to those kind of things." the host looking amazed.
Kyoko had to agree, her Kuon has become accustomed to the arboreal presence and would sometimes look like a fairytale prince with the forest creature. The couple ended up introducing all the animals that lives in her brother's property instead.
Lory was fuming after he realized it was Otsukinsoji that took his python and now living free-range inside the Mogami kitchen.
He managed to negotiate and trade a new smaller snake for his beloved python.
After the interview, Ren and Kyoko's fans and followers online dubbed their Kyoto home as Narnia: The Bear, the Parrot and the missing snake. For another comedic content, Yashiro commissioned an artist to edit pictures of the animals similar to the famous novel turned movie's poster.
