Kyoko opened her phone dreadfully and it suddenly buzzed repeatedly in her hand, vrooming and jumping like it was enraged and possessed. She had turned it off most of the time after the first calls weeks ago. She needed the time away to collect herself.
Most of them were coming from one person and she signed.
Reluctantly, she called the number to listen to the first voice mail.
Half an hour later.
She was in tears, altering between cuddling and cooing after her phone and cursing the damn man that broke her voice mail.
-Damn adorable idiot…! Don't apologize like that…
She remembered what he said and while blushing beautifully, cursed again.
-Hi Mogami-san, eh.. I don't know if you got my others messages or if you are too busy but… well…I know I was out of line in the car and I apologize. i shouldn't have been presumptuous.
-Hi, Mogami-san…ah..uhm…I talked to Kotonami-san the other time and she said you might be upset about my frivolous behaviour. I'm sorry if it upset you and…well…I don't know if you saw the press conference but…Everything was false, I was never involve in that way with Kana…She just took an opportunity when I was…distracted…So I was hoping we could talk…call me back if you get this… or something…
…
-Hi it's Ren again…I suppose you didn't hear my like fifteen other vocal messages haha…and the other texts but well I know you must be busy shooting and all but I mean…Could you call me back Mogami-san. I just want to know if you are okay and well …talk.
-Mogami-san, call me please. We need to talk. I don't know what's the matter but if you keep avoiding me I'm going to-…
- Mogami-san, no, Kyoko please! Call or answer my calls. I know you are angry and upset so let's talk …or better meet. Let me fix this. I-…I don't want our friendship to end like this.
Call me! Answer me goddamnit!
-Hi it's Ren, sorry for the other message, you are of course not obliged to call or see me but-…I-I actually miss you Mogami-san and I don't want to hurt you unknowingly and I'm worried…
Between the first messages and the end of it, his tone turned pleading and begging and the idea how frazzled he seems stroking her damn hopeless hopes and making her all warm.
Slowly she shook her head and a sweet smile sneaked its way on her face.
She tossed her head in her hands and giggled.
-Arghh…
-I was not really angry to begin with, just heartbroken. You can't fix it idiot.
It's so not fair.
Fine. She couldn't avoid him anymore. She had gathered her wits and was planning to stop it anyway. And with the way it was looking he will unnecessarily have an attack.
What a worrywart.
Could really have fooled me…Any other girl would have think that he-
She shook her head. Don't go there.
Night was there since a while and the work day was coming to an end so Kyoko gathered her things and left the studio, deciding to offer herself the exceptional luxury of a taxi today as she was all sore and it was very late when her phone rang.
Ready to the talk to the very person she was thinking was calling she answered without checking the caller but before she could utter even a sound a somehow familiar voice reverberated in the phone.
-Hi Kyoko-chan.
-Hi. Who is it?
-Ouch it hurts Kyoko-chan. You don't recognize my voice.
-Sorry.
He sighed with pain in his voice.
-It's Kijima-san here.
Why is Kijima-san calling her? Even more at-she checked her phone-half past midnight.
-Oh, hello Kijima-san. How can I help you?
-Really you're gonna help me? Kijima-san said excitedly.
Dreading the worse, she reserved her answer.
-It depends Kyoko said carefully.
-Well, actually, it's not really me who needs help but I think we have a bit of a situation here. So maybe you could help.
-A situation?
When Kijima explained what was the issue, she jumped in the taxi she called earlier and directed him to a very different place form what she had in mind.
