Three days went on as Kyoko and Ren became busy. They didn't get to spend time together and Kyoko was also getting ready for her character. Everything was going well, but somewhere in the corner of her heart she still wanted to know more. She watched some erotic movies and she could only imagine what it must have felt like.

She would always close her eyes at the critical moment but still peek through her fingers; curious. Though, in the end, she only focused on the plot and forgot all about what was important, she would always pull her hair in the end not remembering much that ought to be remembered.

Today was the script reading day and she was getting ready with Kanae doing her makeup.

"Moko-san's pure hands are touching me~" she whispered as she smiled gleefully.

Kanae flicked her forehead, "Shut up! I am applying lipstick on you!"

Kyoko pouted but shut up as she ordered.

"Done, now go off!" Kanae said as she packed Kyoko's makeup kit.

Kyoko was wearing an olive green sweater with beige pants paired up with her brown stilettos. She was also wearing a black short hair wig which reached her shoulder, she tucked her hair behind her ear and said, "I will be off, Moko-san!" she hugged her and hopped out of the Love Me section department.

Ren had already reached the destination and he was having a canned coffee. He was waiting in the lounge area where a few of the actors and actresses in the drama were present.

"Is someone missing?" one of the actresses asked

"Ah, yes, the actress who is playing the Kaori role is missing. I heard she played Mio and Natsu."

"Yes, I also heard she was a talento!"

"What? No, way! Can she do this role? I mean Mio and Natsu were villains so it must have been easy"

"Well, let's not judge anyone by their previous roles and background, shall we ladies?" Murasame interrupted with a smile

"Murasame-san! Good morning!"

"What do you think, Tsuruga-san? am I right?" Murasame asked with curiosity.

"Yes, an actor is judged by their acting. And I am sure she will do well." Ren replied with a smile, and then suddenly something caught his eye.

"Ah, Mogami-san! over here!" Ren said with surprise and shine in his eyes.

"Tsuruga-san, Good morning." Kyoko walked toward the crowd as she bowed lightly, like Natsu. "I was thinking of contacting you this morning, but then I met Moko-san, so I completely forgot about it."

"Oh, it's not an issue. I had something to do with the president so I went on my own too. I see that you changed your style. You look good"

"Really? Moko-san did my makeup!" she giggled as she excitedly talked about Moko.

Feeling like Kyoko and Ren forgot about everyone surrounding them, Murasame interrupted, "Ahem!"

Kyoko's attention finally turned to Murasame. She was trying her best not to recognize him earlier and then just forgot about him.

"Ah, I apologize. I am Mogami Kyoko, but currently, I am just going by Kyoko. Nice to meet you" She greeted them with a light smile.

Everyone started to greet her as well and seized her up.

"Everyone, the conference room is ready. Please, enter" one of the staff members called them.

Director Takahashi was sitting in the conference room with Fuwa Sho talking about how he wanted the songs for this drama to feel. Sho was smiling naturally and giving his ideas, he had never sung for any dramas so he was new to this.

"Director, they will be here any moment" His assistant informed.

"Oh, it's already time. Please, Fuwa-san, feel free to be inspired."

"Yes, I will do my best"

Soon, it started to get crowded in the room and Fuwa decided to act cool as he knew that Tsuruga was also going to be there. He wanted to beat this guy with his charms more than anything.

"Eh, Is that Kyoko-san?!" Director Takahashi suddenly exclaimed.

Sho stiffened and he looked at the entrance where he saw Kyoko walking side by side with Ren and smiling. She looked classy and older than her actual age, almost unrecognizable.

Ren and Kyoko both saw Sho when the director exclaimed. Both were shocked but they soon concealed their thoughts before greeting the director.

"Kyoko-san, you look just like how I imagined my Kaori to be like! You truly are a gem as a newcomer" the director said as he praised her.

"Kaori?" Sho asked in surprise. She was playing the female lead and the male lead was Ren? did she know what she had to act like in this drama? his blood started to boil.

"Yes, this is our new actress for the drama. She is Kyoko-san"

"Good morning, Fuwa-san, it is a pleasure to meet you" She bowed lightly like Natsu. Her posture and elegance were full of charms.

"Yes, it indeed is" Sho forcefully smiled and greeted. He cannot act out of place as there are cameras. He needed to be natural.

"Director, we should not keep others waiting" Ren interrupted

"Yes, yes. Go ahead, take your seats." He said as he told his assistant to get packed water bottles and soon the script reading started.

Kyoko and Ren were sitting beside each other because they were the main cast. Murasame was beside Ren. Opposite them was Sho who was staring at Kyoko hard.

"Tsuruga-san, I didn't-" Kyoko whispered

"I know, let's forget about him for now. Don't forget why you are here, don't let him overpower you" he whispered back with a smile as he naturally passed her a packed bottle.

Ren looked at her again, "Still cold?" he asked smirking

Kyoko touched her high-neck sweater casually and said, "I wonder whom I should blame?" she glared

He started to chuckle softly, trying his hardest not to laugh out loud.

Murasame who was sitting beside Ren was taking notice of their interaction and then he saw Kyoko's glare, "Why does she look so familiar?" he mumbled before going back to his script

The script reading soon began. Everyone introduced themselves one by one and then immediately started to read some scenes which were complex and some even talked about changes.

Sho had been staring at Kyoko for a long time, he noticed how Ren and Kyoko were so familiar with each other. They were whispering and talking among themselves, also it was evident how close they were when Ren naturally placed his hand on Kyoko's chair as he wrote some changes in her book.

Then suddenly, he noticed it. When Kyoko touched her neck because of feeling stiff, her neck was slightly visible, though she covered it quickly he was sure he saw it and it shook him inside.

'a hickey?'
