---------------------------------------
"Ryosuke." Yuri called out to him for the nth time already. They were inside Hikaru's office and everytime Hikaru would as Ryosuke a question, he would just look at his shoes. Yuri would try to talk to him but Ryosuke is just as stubborn as always.
"Okay. So you just need to sign these papers and we will begin shooting in a week." Hikaru showed them the papers and for the first time in his life Ryosuke's barrier was breached. He stood up, slamming his fist on the table and glaring at the two.
"I don't want to! I have been trying to hold this in for the whole trip but then you just crossed the line." Ryosuke was fuming in anger. It was the first time in his life that he did this.
"I don't know how to act in a drama! I can't even talk properly with stangers. I may be good on stage but that's different. Dramas are different. I'm sorry but I can't act in that kind of way." After Ryosuke had said what he had to, he slumped back down his chair and hang his head down. It was like nothing happened at all. Hikaru and Yuri's mouth were hanging low. Yuri was the first to cut out.
"Will you excuse us for just a sec." Yuri locked his arm on Ryosuke's neck and dragged him rather forcefully just outside Hikaru's office.
"What is wrong with you!" Yuri let go of his neck and gave him a sudden glare while talking in an angry whisper tone.
"I don't know. It's just that I don't want to make a fool out of myself." Ryosuke ran his hand on his neck, soothing the red mark caused by Yuri's headlock.
"This is a once in a lifetime oppurtunity! Being on stage will take years until people will recognize you! But this here, this can make you known with just one TV performance." Yuri explained it in details so that it could drill inside Ryosuke's head.
"Demo, Chinen!!! I can't do this. There will be interviews and press cons! I can't answer any of them at all!"
"We will just say that you are not allowed to strain your voice even though you're not a singing actor."
"But I have to act as a girl!"
"You were gonna act as a girl in the play anyway."
"But-"
"If you complain any more I will rip your mouth off and flush it down the toilet." Ryosuke bit his bottom lip, showing that he would shut up.
"You know I'm doing this for you." This time Yuri's tone was softer and more loving.
"You can't rely on me forever Ryosuke. One day I might not be beside you anymore to take care of you." Even though Yuri was shorter and younger than him by a few months, he was like a mother to Ryosuke.
"Now will you please sign the papers. I have already read it even ran through if under a magnifying glass. I'll be your manager so there's nothing to worry about." Yuri patted Ryosuke's shoulder and showing him his geniune friend smile.
"Oh okay. Let's just say this is the bet I lost." Ryosuke sighed but he also returned a smile. They went back inside Hikaru's office and was surprised to find another lad inside.
"Oh You're back. Come on in. I want you to meet somebody." The person was showing his back to Yuri and Ryosuke. He had a slim physique. Could say he was quite feminine.
"This is Inoo Kei. Your personal make-up and hair stylist." Kei turned around and gave a small bow. If he wasn't a man people would see him as a Yamato Nadeshiko.
"Inoo Kei desu. Yorushiku." Kei gave a small flying kiss to the two which was not taken well by them.
"Are you Yamada-san?" He pointed to Ryosuke and he replied with a small nod.
"Waah~! Kawaii! You're like a little porcelain doll! I will really enjoy dressing you up!" Kei spoke rather boldly. Whatever is on his mind he's not afraid to say it.
"Ah hai. Yorushiku." Ryosuke squeeked out in a small voice which made Kei admire him even more.
"It means you accept?" Hikaru confirmed Ryosuke.
"Un. Demo, everything I need to do needs to pass by Yuri first." That was the only condition he asked. He's not good in making desicions that's why he always asks Yuri about every desicion he makes even during lunch.
"No problem. He is your manager after all." Hikaru passed the pen to Ryosuke which the latter took. He looked at the contract on the table then glanced back to Yuri. He gave Ryosuke a small nod telling him that it will be fine. Ryosuke carefully wrote his name and signature.
"Now that that's done. We need to get you into character! To the make-up studio!" Kei was the most excited so he dragged Ryosuke towards the studio with Hikaru and Yuri falling back behind them.
"I have tons of ideas for you! You're gonna be even more beautiful than any girl!" Ryosuke sat in front of a dresser with a huge mirror.
"I heard you don't talk much." Kei started applying foundation on Ryosuke's face. He only nodded in response.
"It looks like you don't talk at all." Kei chuckled at Ryosuke's embarrassed face.
"Gomenasai." Ryosuke appologized but Kei only found it even cuter.
"Daijoubo. It's not normal to be dragged by a stranger and say that you'll be in a drama." Kei instructed Ryosuke to close his eyes and he started applying eye shadow. Ryosuke didn't know why but he felt really comfortable. It felt like Kei immitted a motherly aura.
"You're really nice." Ryosuke suddenly said then he heard a small chuckle from the stylist.
"Arigatou. It looks like you can talk too huh." Kei continued on with his work and Ryosuke once again kept quiet. But then the talk with Yuri earlier popped into his mind again. What will happen to him if Yuri does leave. Yuri has a life too. It doesn't just revovle against Ryosuke. So he took a deep breath and counted to 3.
"Ne, Inoo-kun." Ryosuke started a conversation with his stylist.
"Inoo-kun sounds a bit old." Kei cringed jokingly at him.
"Jaa, Kei-kun?" Ryosuke giggled quite a bit.
"Yada! That sounds funny." Kei was also laughing together with him. He was 3/4 done with Ryosuke's make up. Just a little lip gloss and his look will be perfect.
"Wakatta! Inoo-kyun." Kei showed him a confused look but Ryosuke was beaming at him.
"Kyun. Like when you get hit my cupid's arrow, you feel a 'kyun' inside your heart!" Ryosuke was smiling cutely at Kei and of course the latter found it adorable. He wanted to squish those chubby cheeks but he doesn't want to ruin his beautiful creation.
"Ii yo~. Atleast it doesn't sound old or funny. Now stay here as I grab the perfect wig for you." Kei left Ryosuke and entered a storage room. Ryosuke looked at his face in the mirror and he was quite shock. He doesn't want to sound arrogant but he did look pretty.
"I found it!" Kei went out the storage room carrying a brunette colored wig that matches Ryosuke's hair completely. It was shoulder leveled and cute bangs to the side. Ryosuke sat properly once again and Kei placed the wig on his head perfectly. Ryosuke looked at his face again and it felt really different for him but it wasn't weird or anything unusual.
"Now for your dress." Kei dragged Ryosuke inside a walk-in closet and it was like a mall inside. All designer clothes from the most famous designers in the world.
"Sugoi." Ryosuke was awed by what he saw. He didn't imagine that it would be this fabulous.
"This would look perfect. And so would this. And this." Kei just kept on grabbing clothes and accessories and shoes from the shelves to the tables and to the hangers.
"Okay, try this on." He dumped everything on Ryosuke and before he could say anything else, he was pushed by Kei inside the fitting room. While Ryosuke took his time in wearing the clothes, someone entered the styling room. He was quite tall, a model like physique and a model like aura surrounding him. His black hair really complemented his eyes and all in all he was drop dead gorgeous. But one thing was weird about him. He was covering his forhead with his hand and he looked very troubled.
"Inoo-chan?" The said lad called out for Kei.
"Hai?" Kei answered but he didn't go out the walk in closet.
"Inoo-chan? Are you in there?" The man moved closer to the closet. He didn't know why but he felt really nervous. His heart beated faster than usual.
"Nani Nakajima-kun?" Kei popped his head out the door and saw a flustered and embarrassed Nakajima in front of him. Without warning he pulled Kei out the closet and he dropped his hand which covered his forhead.
"Wow. That's one big zit." Kei examined it carefully then he grabbed something from the table.
"This woukd cover and also help it go away. Apply this once a day only." He handed Nakajima with some kind of concealer to help with his problem.
"Arigatou! You're really a life saver!" Nakajima beamed happily and immediately applied the concealer.
"Inoo-kyun!!! I can't zip it up!" Ryosuke ran outside the fitting room but didn't find Kei there. So he called out again and heard Kei's voice outside the closet.
"Inoo-kyun!!! Tatsukete!" He ran outside but he suddenly bumped into someone. Hitting his forehead on his chest.
"Ah gomenasai." Ryosuke muttered softly. He didn't even dare to look at the person in the eye.
"Daijoubo. It was also my fault. Is your forehead alright?" The lad lifted Ryosuke's chin and eyed his face. They both scanned each others faces.
" Sugoi. It's like he has this kakkoi aura emmitting outside him. And he's so handsome." Ryosuke said in his mind. A little blush spreading on his cheek.
"Yabai. My heart is beating faster. Kawaii~! She's like a porcelain doll."Nakajima also stated in his mind. They were both looking at each other rather intensly.
"Oh, I see you met Ryo-chan." Kei was the one who broke the two's stare. They moved away slightly from each other.
"She's gonna be your leading lady Yuto." This time Hikaru entered the room.
"Oh. So she's the one you've been talking about." Yuto remembered the two of them talking about his co-stars.
"Hai. So please be nice. It's her first time acting in national television." Hikaru asked him.
"No problem! I'm the king of being nice! This would be easy peasy!" Yuto then turned back to Ryosuke and extended out a hand.
"Nakajima Yuto desu! Yorushiku onegaishimasu!" Yuto gave a small bow then showed 'her' a toothy grin. Rypsuke's heart started to rise and a little blush was spreading on his cheeks.
"Un. Yamada Ryo- itai!" Yuri suddenly stepped on his foot then gave him a look. It was like sending him a telephatic message but alas Ryosuke was like a clueless pig.
"Yamada Ryo?" Yuto tried repeating it, claryifying his name.
"Un. Hai. Yamada Ryo desu." Ryosuke looked down the floor again trying to avoid Yuto's gaze that was making his heart beat faster.
"Yabai yabai. I can't really breathe that well."He was thinking that. Yuto's perfume was so entoxicating that he couldn't breathe well.
"Why don't you take Ryo on a tour around the company." Hikaru gave a slight push to Yuto and there was only an arm length away from Ryosuke and his hand slightly brushed against his. It was somewhat like electricity travelling through it.
"Un. Ryo-chan, ikou?" The way Yuto called him Ryo-chan made Ryosuke go into a trance which it repeated what Yuto said over and over again.
"Ryo-chan." Yuto called out to him again. This time Yuri pinched his arm to make him snap out. Ryosuke gave a little glare to Yuri before he looked back to Yuto who was just very near him. He could smelll his perfume. It smelled very nice on him. Very nice that it made Ryosuke's hear beat faster.
"Are you okay? Oh. Im sorry, we just met and I suddenly called you by your first name."
"It's okay." Ryosuke looked down avoiding Yuto's gaze. A pink tint was visible on her cheeks and she was figeting her fingers which of course gave another kyun to Yuto.
"Saa... Ikou." Yuto pointed at the door then they both walked out the room.
"Something's gonna change from now on." Yuri said while exhaling deeply and shrugging his shoulders.
"Yes there is. But it will be something good." Hikaru showed a toothy grin and walked out of the room too with Yuri tailing behind.
Now back to our main characters. Well, they do play the role of the main characters in the drama. Yuto is currently pointing at random places and telling Ryosuke what those places are and at some point he tells Ryosuke some of his memories in those places. Ryosuke didn't know why but it felt comfortable just hearing Yuto talk. Was it because of his smooth voice? Or was it because of that enchanting smile he wears around always. Either way, Ryosuke never felt more comfortable than ever.
"And for our last stop. Here we have the rooftop garden." Yuto opened the door and a breeze welcomed them. Ryosuke couldn't believe her eyes. The view was very breath taking. Different kinds of plants were dcorated all around. Even on the floor there was grass with little flowers blooming.
"Sugoi!" Ryosuke exclaimed as sheran around the garden like a little kid. She giggled and laughed and Yuto found it heart warming.
"Waah! This place is amazing!!!" Ryosuke was smiling from ear to ear as shekept on skipping and hopping inside the garden.
"Haven't you been in a garden before?" Yuto asked the excited Ryosuke.
"Not as great as this one." Hereyes literary sparkled and shined. It felt like Yuto already knows her by just looking into it.
"You love gardens?" Yuto asked again.
"Hmm... Let's just say I love nature." Ryosuke showed a smile to Yuto for the first time today. Throughout their tour Ryosuke would only steal glances and then look down on the floor. Yuto took this oppurtunity to take a picture of Ryosuke with that angelic smile of hers.And looks like she noticed because she suddenly turned her back to Yuto and figeted with her fingers again.
"Kawaii." Yuto made a comment and it was heard by Ryosuke. Shecouldn't help but blush beet red.
"Ne, can you smile once again?" Yuto walked up to Ryosuke and leaned down near his ear.
"Eh?!-" Ryosuke didn't know that Yuto was already that close so when he turned around his lips met with Yuto's. They were in utter shock. But something inside them felt something different. Yuto couldn't understand why but he wrapped an arm around Ryosuke's frame and kissed heragain. Ryosuke wrapped her arms around Yuto's neck and replied to his kiss.
"Yabai! I'm kissing him! Nani kore?! If he finds out the truth I'll-"Ryosuke kept on debating in his mind but his body was just following Yuto's lead.
"Stop it now Yuto! You just met her! But why she kissing me back to?" After FINALLY realizing what they did and after their brain took control of them already, they parted away for air. Ryosuke's hands slid down Yuto's chest and Yuto loosen his hold of Ryosuke's waist.
"Hontouni gomenasai!" Ryosuke pushed Yuto slightly and bowed 90 degrees.
"Eh?! Daijoubo! I was the one who did it first." Yuto said the last part softly and he scratched his nape rather awkwardly.
"You can stop bowing now." Yuto held hershoulders and raised her upper body. Her cheeks were very red and she kept her eyes closed.
"Hey, open your eyes. I'm not mad." The way Ryosuke looked was to die for. She was utterly cute.
"I can't. If I do, I feel like my heart's gonna explode. Just hearing your voice makes it beat faster." Sheshut it even more tightly. A few seconds of silence was again heard then Ryosuke heard the sound of a camera shutter. She opened her eyes and saw Yuto taking a picture of her again.
"Gomen. It's just too adorable." Yet again Ryosuke was so embarrassed but it was a nice feeling.
"Mou. Yuto-kun! It's already embarrasing enough that you could see my funny expressions! How much more when you have pictures of it. Please delete it." Ryosuke tried to get Yuto's phone but he raised his hand above his head knowing shecouldn't reach it.
"Nope. This is my phone, I'm gonna delete what I want to delete." He showed her a sheepish grin as he looked at Ryosuke trying her best to get his phone. In the end, Yuto won and Ryosuke gave up.
"I'll make a bargain. If you take a picture with me, I'll delete it." Yuto said and it made Ryosuke think about it.
"Hmm... alright deal." Yuto opened his camera and they both took a selfie.
"Now please delete it." Yuto opened his files and showed Ryosuke his picture and deleted it.
"Arigatou!" Ryosuke beamed at him and gave a sweet smile. Yuto returned it then he looked down on his watch.
"Yabai. Its already time for the meeting. Ikou Ryo-chan." Without any delay, Yuto grabbed Ryosuke's hand and they ran down stairs. Ryosuke couldn't stop watching their hands entwined together which gave a warm radiating feeling all over her body.
