CHAPTER 1


*RIIIIIIIING*

The sound of the alarm clock echoed throughout the whole house, so loud that felt like it was coming from inside the head rather than the side of the bed. An arm of a sleepy young lady reached for the table lazily and started slamming blindly on it, hoping to find the annoying mechanism without opening her eyes. The table had to be batted a few times before the annoying mechanism was found and got slammed, silencing it immediately. Once again, the house is filled with peaceful silence, but not for long. She was disturbed by yet another annoying voice.

“Hey, hey! Wake up! Wake up! Today’s the day! We’re going to be late!” An excited girl’s voice roared into the sleepy girl’s ears as her body was nudged continuously.

“Mmmm........” That’s the only grumbling voice she could make for now.

“Hey, are you listening? Wake up!”

“Mmmm.........” Once again, the same grumbling voice.

“Come on! Wake up!” The hyperactive girl pulled the sleepy girl up to a sitting position and started nudging her again.

“...........” No reactions from the sleepy girl. Her head remained tilted downwards as if she had no spine at all.

As soon as the girl let go of her grip, the tired girl fell right back onto her comfortable mattress and continued snoring.

She sighed. “You made me do this... Don’t blame me for any injuries.”

“Haiya!!!” The active girl literally flipped the whole mattress over. 

“Kyaa!!” A shriek was heard as the sleepy girl got flipped over to the floor along with her mattress. The next second, the mattress was already laying on top of the helpless girl.

The girl on the ground mumbled to herself. “That.......hurts......”

“Oh, now you’re awake? Get up! We’re going to be late for the interview!”

“Mmmmmm............ Hmmm?” The girl laying under the mattress still seemed a little fuzzy.

“Did you not hear me? Get up, Rena! It’s 10am now!” The hyperactive girl shouted.

“What!? That late already!?” Rena lifted the mattress away and finally took a glance at her friend. She then let out a flirty whistle at her friend as she shifted her eyes from top to bottom. “Wow... Looking good, Mayu...”

Rena had never seen Mayu in formal clothing before other than during university presentations. Now that she finally got to see it for the first time outside the presentation, Rena seemed really impressed by it.

“I’m flattered, Rena. Now go take your bath.” Mayu instructed.

After glancing a few more times at Mayu, she flew across the room and into the bathroom to take her usual morning shower.

“You better make it fast, Rena.. We’re going to be late.” The girl kept on pointing on her own watch, emphasizing the time.

Rena’s head popped out of the bathroom door. “Oh don’t worry, Mayu.. I’ll just take ten minutes max for my shower.”

Mayu squinted her eyes at the bathroom. “Somehow I have a very bad feeling about this...”

30 minutes later.........

“Damn it, I knew you would take this long for your shower! You always have! At this rate, we won’t even get to reach on time for the interview!” Mayu groaned again and again.

“Ok, I’m done.” Rena hopped out of the bathroom and ran towards the dressing table. “Hmm... What make up should I wear? Hey, any suggestions?”

“Forget about make up. We’re late. Let’s go!” Mayu seemed really frustrated.

“How can you say that? Everybody needs to look good for job interviews, right?” Rena shot a playful wink at Mayu.

“Oh, don’t you start shooting your deadly winks all over the place, Rena. If you wanted a good make up then you should have woke up earlier and do these things rather than continue to sleep like a pig..”

“Whatever you say, I still need at least some make up. I can’t go for a job interview looking like a monkey.” Rena insisted.

“Well now you confess that you look like a monkey..” Mayu laughed out loud.

Rena sarcastically faked a laugh. “HA! HA! HA! Not funny, Mayu!” She then proceeded with her make up.

“Alright, fine.. I have no time to argue with you. And make it fast. Just a light one will do.” Mayu said in a hurried tone.

After some ‘light’ make up......

“Ok, now your face looks like a baboon’s ass.” Mayu laughed once again.

“Hey, it’s not that bad...or red..” Rena rolled her eyes.

“Sure sure..... Whatever...” Mayu giggled for one last time before they finally moved on towards the shoe rack.

“Now for shoes.... Hey, Mayu.. Should I wear high heels or flats?” Rena smiled and blinked her eyes innocently at Mayu.

Mayu simply looked back at Rena and sighed loudly. “Girl, just choose whatever you feel like. Don’t ask me for fashion advice at times like this.”

“Oh, come on Mayu... Give me some ideas..” Rena insisted on getting some fashion tips at this time.

Mayu pressed her thumb and index finger on her own forehead as a sign of frustration and closed her eyes. “I don’t know about you, Rena.. But I am so tempted to wear those spike shoes right now and kick the crap out of you if you don’t hurry up and choose them yourself.”

“Ok ok.. Jeez... You’re like a lecturing mother.” Rena chose the pair of red heels.

“Oh, you better wish I do not turn into a lecturing grandmother instead.. The interview is at 11am and yet, now at 10.45am, we’re still at home!”

“Alright, alright... Let’s go!” Rena finally wore her heels and exited the house together with Mayu.

“Lucky the hotel’s just few blocks away, huh?” They started running along the sidewalk and towards a tall building which they could see from their house already.

As they were running along the streets, Rena suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked into a pastry store. Mayu who noticed this, stopped in her tracks as well and turned back. “What now, Rena?”

Rena smiled back at Mayu innocently. “Do you want something to eat?”

“Darn it, Rena. Eating can wait. Our interview can’t! Now let’s go!” Mayu told in a panic tone.

Rena took another glance at the pastry store and then back towards Mayu. Then another glance at the pastry store, then back at Mayu. All Mayu could do right now is just to squint her eyes back at Rena and act dumb. “What? Stop standing there and let’s get going!”

“I’ll be fast.. Promise!” Rena immediately ran into the pastry store.

“Really!? Damn it, if we’re late for the interview, I’m going to strangle you, Rena.” Mayu cursed.

Well at least Rena made it out of the store fast. She came running out of the store with a melon pan stuck in her mouth while holding onto a bottle of mineral water. “Ok ok.. Now let’s go.. The hotel’s just in front.”

Didn’t take them long to reach the hotel as well since the hotel was just few blocks away. As they reached the hotel, they stopped in their tracks and looked up at the tall building in awe. “This is it. AKB Hotel.. One of the top hotels in the world.”

Rena who had just swallowed her melon pan, looked at Mayu with a look of confidence. “Ready to chase after our dreams, partner?”

Mayu replied with a smirk. “You bet.. Let’s go..”

They made their way into the hotel lobby and they were surprised by the perfection of the interior design. All the way from the marble coated walls, beams and columns to the finely carved furnitures. The view was simply magnificent with a huge chandelier shining beautifully in gold throughout the whole lobby from the ceiling and the floor tiles are made out of the finest quality of marbles.

“Daaaaaaaaaamn......” Mayu’s eyes and mouth were pried open in awe from the beautiful designs that she didn’t even realize she spoke out loud.

“One of the best hotels in the world indeed..” Rena nodded her head. “Beautiful..”

Most of the hotel guests are dressed up in elegant formal attire.

“This place really is full of rich people..” Mayu whispered into Rena’s ear.

“Expected. It’s one of the top hotels after all...” Rena whispered as well because they didn’t want to look ‘poor’ in front of all the rich people.

“This is the first time I ever stepped into this hotel despite staying so close.. All I have ever seen in my life was just the exterior of the hotel.” Mayu was still in awe.

“Hey, come on. Our sight seeing can come later once we get ourselves a job in this hotel.” Rena patted Mayu’s back.

“Right... Let’s find where is the office block..” Both Rena and Mayu walked towards a signboard pinned up on a huge column and looked for directions to the office block.

“Office block is on the first floor...” Mayu looked around and found a flight of stairs. “Oh, that must be the stairs to the office block. Let’s go! Let’s go!”

Mayu started dashing towards the stairs as they were already 10 minutes late. Rena who followed Mayu from behind opened the cap from her water bottle and drank some water from it while scurrying towards the stairs as well. As she was pacing a little too fast, Rena accidentally tripped on her own foot and watched slowly as the bottle of water escaped from her grasp and spilled onto a young lady nearby.

“Oh my god!” Rena covered her mouth in shock. The young lady was drenched.

“My $1000 formal attire!!” The lady was shocked. Her hands were literally shaking from the scene of her expensive clothing getting ruined in just a few seconds. She then shot an angry glare at Rena and pointed her finger right at her face. Even her finger was trembling from anger. “You!!!! This is my best clothing! I wore this attire solely for my important meeting today!”

Rena apologized and attempted to leave right away. “I’m really sorry, ma’am.. It was an accident.. We have some important business to attend to right now. I’ll pay you back later on.. I promise..”

“Oh, no you’re not going anywhere! Not until you pay me back for my clothes!” The lady grabbed onto Rena’s wrist.

“Hey, let go!” Rena tried to pry the lady off her.

Mayu pointed behind the young lady with a shocked expression. “Oh!! Isn’t that the superstar, Maeda Atsuko!?!?”

“Where!?” The lady turned back. “I don’t see her anywhere.”

As soon as she turned back, both Mayu and Rena were gone.

“Damn it, I got tricked!” The lady screamed and cursed in frustration. “The both of you will get it the next time I meet you two!”

In no time, both Mayu and Rena reached the office block. Rena seemed a little troubled. “I feel a little guilty, Mayu... Her clothes cost $1000...”

“You feel guilty, so what? You’re going to pay her back? And where exactly do you find this $1000 to pay her back?”

“Well.......” Rena gave it some thought and ended up shrugging her shoulders.

“See what I mean? You don’t even have the money for it. You should be happy that I saved you just now.” Mayu said in a sarcastic tone.

“What if she finds us again?” Rena asked in a worried tone.

“Pfft.. Unlikely. Japan is so big. There will not be any chance of us meeting that lady again.” Mayu brushed Rena off immediately.

“Hmm.. Maybe you’re right..” Rena nodded.

“Well, luckily the interview has not started yet.. Let’s get our attendance marked with the secretary first.” Both Rena and Mayu walked towards the secretary standing just outside the CEO’s room.

“Watanabe Mayu and Matsui Rena here.” Rena told the secretary.

The secretary started flipping over some papers she was holding onto, searching for their names. “Watanabe Mayu..... Matsui Rena...... Watanabe Mayu....... Matsui Rena...... Oh there you go.”

The secretary ticked their names and smiled back at them. “Alright. With this, it seems like everyone is present already. Take a seat on the couch over there and I’ll be with you guys shortly.”

She then went back into the CEO’s room.

“So let’s see what do we have here...” Mayu looked around and see that there are about 20 people sitting around, waiting for the interview as well. She started analyzing the whole area, looking left and right at all the candidates and whispered at Rena’s ear. “They look well prepared for this...”

Rena whispered back. “Of course they are well prepared for this. I mean, who would want to screw up such a good job opportunity? Why do you think I slept late last night, huh?”

Mayu gave Rena an annoyed look. “You were playing Dance Dance Revolution in your room, Rena..”

“Erm...” Rena shifted her eyes awkwardly from left to right and looked back at Mayu with a straight face. “No..........”

“Yes you were, Rena. My room and your room is just one wall apart. The volume was so loud, I thought my eardrums were about to burst. I couldn’t even sleep. You were even singing along to it. I had to literally plug wet tissues into my ears to sleep.”

“That bad, huh?” Rena innocently scratched the back of her head.

“What do you think?” Mayu seemed annoyed.

“Hey, but at least I did some research about it later on, right?”

“Right...........” Mayu said in a sarcastic tone.

At this time, the secretary opened the CEO’s door and made an announcement. “To all the interviewees, thank you for coming here for the job interview. Our CEO, Miss Kashiwagi Yuki will be personally interviewing everyone here. She is already waiting for everyone in her room. As I said before, two people will be interviewed at the same time. First two, Miss A and Mister B, come in, please.”

Mayu whispered into Rena’s ears. “Apparently, they really are telling the truth about interviewing in pairs..”

“They’re not doing this to make us rivals, aren’t they? You know, like playing with both our psychologies and making us think that ‘I am better than you, you’re better than me’ kind of thing?” Rena seemed very worried now.

“Don’t worry... We’re not like the others. At least we’re close to one another. I’ll cover your back, you’ll cover mine. Deal?” Mayu pointed out her pinky finger at Rena to make a deal.

Rena started laughing. “You’ll cover my back and I’ll cover yours? Why are you talking as if we’re in a war zone?”

“Hey.. This is more than a war zone. This is a job interview to work for one of the best hotels in the world. Everyone other than ourselves are enemies.”

“Alright. Deal.” Rena interlocked her pinky with Mayu’s pinky as a sign of making a deal.

Time passes by pretty quickly as both Mayu and Rena watch the candidates entering and exiting the CEO’s room two by two. Finally all that’s left is just the both of them. Strangely, all who went into the CEO’s room, man or lady, came out saying the same thing. About how hot or how sexy the CEO looks.

“Oh my gosh, the CEO is just so hot! Her legs.... Those long legs..” A candidate mumbled to herself.

Seemingly, Mayu overheard the other candidate’s chat. “Jeez... Are they here to interview or are they here to look at the CEO?” Mayu rolled her eyes in annoyance.

“How do you know you won’t be entranced by her beauty as well?” Rena shot a smirk at Mayu.

“Trust me, Rena. I am not easily attracted to anyone.”

“And what if you are?” Rena insisted.

“I’ll buy you lunch then.” Mayu accepted the challenge. “What about you? What if you’re the one who was hypnotized by her beauty instead?”

“What are you trying to say? If I am hypnotized, then I’ll just be hypnotized. I don’t understand your question.” Despite knowing that Mayu actually wants her to make a bet as well, she acted dumb.

“Hey, bet something too...” Mayu poked Rena’s shoulder.

“And why should I bet something again?” Rena asked in a tone.

“Because I made a bet with you.”

“It’s not my fault that you wanted to buy me lunch.. You’re the one who made that deal yourself.”

“Then I take back my words!”

“Too late, Mayu.. Too late for that..” Rena laughed at the regretful Mayu.

“Then buy me lunch!”

“I don’t think so..” Rena smirked and shook her head.

“Buy me dinner, then..”

“No!”

“Buy me a car.”

“You’re out of your mind, Mayu. Where the hell do I get the money to buy you a car? I don’t even have the money to buy myself a car.”

The secretary opened the door once again. “Watanabe Mayu and Matsui Rena.”

“Well, enough talking crap. Finally the time for us to lock a job in this famous hotel has come! Let’s do this together!” Mayu high-fived Rena as they stood up from the couch and entered the room confidently.

Chapter 2



As soon as both Rena and Mayu entered the CEO’s room, they were shocked to see that the CEO is actually a beautiful and hot looking young lady just like how the previous interviewees explained her to be.

“Hi.. I’m Kashiwagi Yuki. The CEO of AKB Hotel. Please take a sit..” The CEO instructed them. Rena sat down on one of the chairs in front of the CEO’s table but not Mayu. Mayu seemed to be distracted by something else. Her face looked completely stunned as her mouth remained half open. The first thing that caught Mayu’s attention as soon as they entered the room was the CEO’s seductive pair of legs instead of her voice or her looks.


(http://25.media.tumblr.com/4f5ad2a9d636b261dbb1a4df92355690/tumblr_ml8caonghm1r31n4zo2_250.gif)


Mayu did not even get a chance to take a look at the CEO’s face as her mind already went crazy at the sight of those pair of legs. Her eyes remained glued onto the CEO’s sexy, long legs the entire time. “Damn those legs are so sexy, it makes me want to remove one of the stockings and slap it across my face over and over again. Then I will take the other stocking and frame it up in my room.. Wait.. What the hell am I talking about in my own brain? Stop this shit at once, brain!” Well, good thing she didn’t say these words out loud or else she would be kicked out of the office by now or worse, sued.

“Erm... Miss Watanabe?” The CEO called out.

Mayu did not even realize what was happening around her or what she had been thinking about for the past five seconds. Her mind seemed to be floating somewhere in the wonderland now.

“Miss Watanabe?”

Rena, noticing that Mayu was daydreaming, faked a loud cough, hoping to bring her back to her senses but it seemed to be futile.

“Excuse me, Miss Matsui.. Is something wrong with your friend?”

“Oh, no no.. Nothing is wrong with her.. Right, Mayu??” Rena nudged Mayu’s arm a little with her elbow, causing her to finally come back to her senses.

“H-Huh?” As soon as Mayu shifted her eyes on the CEO’s face, it was as if time stopped. Mayu locked her gaze at the CEO’s face and blinked a few times at her extreme beauty. “My.....gosh......”

Her face, the way she flipped her hair, the way she crosses her legs. Perfection is the very word Mayu would use to describe her.

“Mayu, stop it.. You’re going to screw this interview up..” Rena whispered loudly at Mayu to get her back to her senses.

“O-Oh.. I’m so sorry... It’s just that I’ve never seen someone that looks this beautiful..”

The CEO seemed a little surprised as she blinked her eye and smiled back at Mayu. “Why thank you for your compliments, Miss Watanabe..... Please take a seat.”

After letting out an awkward cough, Mayu took her place and whispered into Rena’s ears. “Saw that? She’s totally into me..”

Rena nodded and whispered in a sarcastic tone. “Sure, of course she is.... And you owe me lunch..” She shot a playful wink only to be replied with Mayu rolling her eyes annoyingly.

“Well, are you two ready? Can we start with the interview?” The CEO, Kashiwagi Yuki spoke out to them.

“Please forgive us for stalling your time.. We are ready now.” Rena apologized.

“Alright, then.” After arranging a few papers on the table, Yuki interlocked her fingers together and placed them on the pile of papers. “Let’s start with you, Miss Watanabe.. Can you introduce yourself a little bit to me?”

“My name is Watanabe Mayu. Age 25. I have recently graduated from AKB International University with MBA (Masters of Business Administration) in Hospitality Management. Total CGPA of 3.97 points out of 4.0 points.”

“Wow.. MBA in Hospitality Management and a CGPA of 3.97. That’s pretty impressive, I must say.. For a renowned university like AKB International University, it is actually very difficult to score with flying colors.” The CEO nodded her head being impressed by Mayu’s university performance.

“I was actually a graduate from AKB International University..”

“You were!?” Both Rena and Mayu spoke out loud simultaneously being surprised with the fact that the CEO of AKB Hotel, one of the best hotels in the world was actually a graduate from their very own university.

“Sure was.. But of course not everyone studying in a university with such a busy schedule would have the time to get to know their senpai, right?” Yuki replied.

“Wow.. Then this must be destiny, Miss Kashiwagi...” Mayu told it straight to Yuki’s face.

“Maybe it is...” Yuki then shot a sweet smile at Mayu.

Mayu’s and Yuki’s eyes met up and time seemed to have slowed down once again for Mayu. “I........”

The next thing Mayu saw from Yuki was something so unexpected, Mayu would have never thought of it ever happening in her lifetime.


(http://25.media.tumblr.com/c9f91e2b489cea051af4364d4065a811/tumblr_ml8cibelQW1r31n4zo1_400.gif)


“H-Huh?” Mayu rubbed her eyes for a second and looked back at Yuki.

“Yes, Miss Watanabe?” Yuki looked back at Mayu with a weird expression. And of course Yuki had never winked at Mayu before. It had always been Mayu who imagined these things by herself.

“Crap. My mind is starting to play tricks on me....” Mayu thought to herself and shook the weird illusions off her mind.

“Are you alright, Miss Watanabe?” Yuki asked in concern.

“I’m alright. I’m alright. Just having some.......hallucinations..”

“I’m sorry? Hallucinations?” Yuki seemed a little confused. “Are you in some kind of erm....medication or something?”

“Medication?” Now it is Mayu’s turn who looked confused.

Rena then whispered into Mayu’s ears. “In short, she wants to know if you’re on drugs, you moron... Stop day dreaming or you’ll be looked at as a drug addict.”

“Oh, no! I’m not on any medications of course... I’m just a little dizzy, that’s all.” Mayu finally explained herself.

“Dizzy? Do you need me to call in a doctor to check you up?” Yuki seemed concerned about Mayu.

“No, it’s alright. You don;t have to call in any doctor.” Mayu replied with a smile.

“Well if you say so...” Yuki nodded and proceeded with Rena. “So, how about you, Miss Matsui? Tell me about yourself..”

“My name is Matsui Rena. Also age 25 like Mayu. Graduated also from AKB International University with MBA (Masters of Business Administration) in Hospitality Management. Total CGPA of 3.85 points out of 4.0 points.”

“3.85 points. That’s really good as well..”

“It was all thanks to Mayu here who guided me in my studies.” Rena praised Mayu on the spot.

Mayu used this as an advantage to add some merit points for both of them. “We kinda helped each other actually. Since I am better in studies, I guided Rena a little with her studies. While Rena is better with hands-on activities such as doing presentations, she helped me a lot with that.”

Yuki smiled and nodded. “You both must be very lucky to have each other to depend on.”

Yuki proceeded with her never ending questions at Rena and Mayu. That was when Mayu’s imagination started to run wild by itself once again. All the sound around her were muted, as she only see Yuki’s lovely eyes, her lovely nose, her lovely lips... Oh, those kissable lips..


(http://24.media.tumblr.com/37ff2d980ca6a7c9cc2a24a968b76213/tumblr_mllbk0TOyy1r31n4zo1_400.gif)


She literally smiled to herself like an idiot while gazing deep into Yuki’s eyes. “That......was hot...”

Yuki voiced out at Mayu, bringing her back into reality once again. “Sorry, what was hot again?”

“Oh, nothing.. It’s just me.. I’m feeling hot right now. Phew....” Mayu started fanning herself awkwardly.

“You’re being a little weird, Miss Watanabe...”

“Please forgive me, Miss Kashiwagi.. I’m always weird when I see something really really attractive or beautiful...”

Yuki blinked her eyes for a short moment before letting out an awkward cough. “Alright. A final question for both of you..”

Rena whispered into Mayu’s ears and giggled. “You just got ignored..”

Mayu whispered back at Rena being annoyed by Rena. “I can see that... Shut up.”

“You are the captain of a boat, sending a swimmer, a fat person and a diver across the river. The boat is now sinking, and asking one person to jump off the boat would save everyone. Who would you ask to jump off?”

Both Mayu and Rena looked at each other and nodded. They then answered simultaneously. “I would jump off the boat myself.”

“Oh? Do tell me the reason.” Yuki seemed very interested in both their answers.

Mayu started. “In this case, the captain is a metaphor of workers in the hotel.”

Rena continued right after Mayu. “While the swimmer, the fat person and the diver is a metaphor of the customers in the hotel.”

From this point on, they already know what each other is going to say. Both Mayu and Rena are simply continuing each other’s sentences as if they can literally read each other’s mind. “It doesn’t matter who has the advantage in water or not.”

“Swimmers, divers, fat people, old people are the same. If they ride our boat, they are our customers.”

“It is not relevant to ask a swimmer or diver to jump off just because they can swim. They got on our boat, and we must make sure they stay on the boat till they safely arrive to the other side of the river.”

“That’s because our customers safety is our number one priority.”

“Hell yeah!” Both Mayu and Rena high-fived each other on the spot.

Yuki smiled and nodded. “So this is what they mean by the term ‘Great minds think alike’, huh? That was actually a very good answer from the both of you..”

“You flatter us too much, Miss Kashiwagi..” Mayu scratched the back of her head while blushing.

“Alright. Thank you for coming for the interview today..” Yuki stood up and shook both Mayu and Rena’s hand firmly. Her grip was really firm and confident as expected from a CEO of one of the best hotels in the world. “Please wait outside. My secretary will post the results up shortly.”

“Well, that went better than expected..” Rena let out a loud sigh.

“Now, we just have to wait till the results are posted..” They took a place at the couch.

About half an hour later, the secretary exited from the CEO’s room and pasted the results of the interview on the notice board. All the interviewees swarmed the notice board right away. Some were left crying, some were left laughing in excitement after looking at the result.

“You know, I’m actually a little nervous, Rena..” Mayu clinged onto Rena’s arm tightly.

Rena let out a giggle and pointed at Mayu’s face. “You? The great Watanabe Mayu being nervous? Wow, if even you’re nervous, then I must have had a cardiac arrest by now.”

Mayu punched Rena’s shoulder. “I’m being serious here, Rena.. Working in this hotel had always been both our dreams since we’re young.”

“Ready to look at the results?” Rena nudged Mayu’s shoulder.

“No, I am not! How about you go see it, then you tell me. I’m just going to cover my eyes.” Mayu covered her eyes with one hand while the other hand still clinging tightly onto Rena’s arm.

As they both walked up front to the notice board, Rena started searching for both their names and she finally found it. Her eyes were literally pried open as she covered her mouth in shock. “My....god.....”

Mayu’s eyes remained closed the whole time. Her curiosity was killing her. “How was it, Rena? Did we get it!? Did we get the job!?”

“I-I’m sorry, Mayu.....”

“Wait, why are you apologizing? Why are you apologizing!?” Mayu still didn’t want to open her eyes and yet she could already feel her eyes swelling up with tears from Rena’s words.

“I’m really sorry, Mayu.. I can’t bring myself to tell you this..”

“Stop apologizing to me, damn it! I don’t want to hear any apology anymore!”

“You have to take a look at this yourself to believe it, Mayu..”

As Mayu slowly opened her eyes and looked at the result slip on the notice board, she saw something unbelievable under the list of hired people. Out of seven names listed under the category of hired interviewees, the last two names especially caught Mayu’s attention.

Quote

Watanabe Mayu - Receptionist

Matsui Rena - Receptionist


“R-R-Receptionists!!! We got the job, Rena! We got the job as receptionists!!!” Mayu laughed and hugged Rena tightly as she started crying happy tears.

Rena who noticed Mayu’s tears of joy teared up a little as well. “Yes, Mayu! We got it!”

Mayu then removed herself from the hug and punched Rena once again on her shoulder. “The hell did you apologize to me for!? I thought I didn’t make it! You idiot!”

“Just having some fun..” Rena laughed out loud.

“Jeez... You scared the life out of me, Rena....” Mayu wiped off her tears with her palm and showed it to Rena. “Look at all these tears!”

“You sure those aren’t crocodile tears?” Rena joked.

“Oh sure... I definitely faked my cry to get everyone’s sympathy.” Mayu said this sentence with a sarcastic tone while swaying her hands.

“Ok ok.. I get it..” Rena calmed Mayu down and looked back at the notice board. “It states here that the secretary will call us tomorrow for further information about when we will start working.”

“You know what? Forget it. We got the job, so nothing else really matters anymore. Let’s just go back home for now. I’m already mentally tired from all the nervousness...”

“Do you want to have some lunch before we go back?” Rena suggested.

Mayu looked down at her own stomach and rubbed onto it. “Sure.. I’m feeling a little empty in my stomach after you scared the shit out of me. No wonder I feel like something came out of my ass earlier..” Mayu joked.

“You’re disgusting beyond words, Mayu...” Rena literally shot a disgusted face at Mayu.

“You’re the one who made fun of me first, Rena..”

“Fine. Whatever. Don’t forget that you still owe me lunch, Mayu.” Rena reminded Mayu of the bet they made earlier.

“What lunch?” Mayu blinked her eyes innocently at Rena acted dumb.

“You fell completely in love with the CEO, Mayu. Admit it! You were even day dreaming and hallucinating about her earlier.”

“No I did not! But I do admit her legs are sexy.. And those lips as well... Those kissable lips.. I just wanna bite on them.” Mayu then showed the biting gesture.

“See what I mean? I knew it... I won the bet, Mayu. Lunch on you!”

“Hell no!”

“If you break a promise, you’ll get struck by lightning.”

“Pfft... I’m not superstitious, Rena.. You can’t scare me with that.” Mayu brushed Rena off immediately.

“Oh? What if I were to tell you that I hid your mangas. Are you scared then?”

“What have you done!? Where did you hide my mangas!?” Mayu literally grabbed Rena by the collar.

“I don’t know.. Maybe if you buy me lunch, it would really help me remember better..” Rena smiled back at Mayu sarcastically.

“Gah!! Fine! You better return my mangas back to me after that. I’m warning you, Rena..” Mayu pointed her finger at Rena and warned.

“See? It’s not that difficult, right?” Rena shot a smile of satisfaction at Mayu who only replied with an undecipherable grumble.

As Mayu and Rena were about to exit the CEO’s lounge area, they saw a young lady walking right towards their direction. She then stopped in her tracks, blinking her eyes at them. Mayu whispered into Rena’s ears. “Hey, this young lady looks familiar..”

Rena whispered back at Mayu. “Yes, she does... Where did we met her again?”

She pointed her finger at their faces right away. “AH!!!! You’re the two from earlier!!”

“Oh, crap!” They suddenly remembered the scene that happened earlier today in the hotel lobby.

“You! Pay me back for my clothes!” The young lady walked over and grabbed onto Rena’s arm once again.

“I don’t have the money to pay you back. I’m sorry..” Rena apologized.

“I don’t care if you have the money or not. You ruined my best pair of clothing, you pay me back. Get it?” It seems like the lady doesn’t want to give up on this.

“You have to be a little reasonable about this, ma’am... I really don’t have the money to pay you back.” Rena insisted once again.

“I am reasonable enough to not sue you for ruining my important meeting today, lady! It was because you spilled the water all over me that I couldn’t attend the meeting anymore!” The young lady replied in anger.

Mayu intentionally whispered into Rena’s ear out loud, so that the young lady would listen to this as well. “Forget about her, Rena... She’s just probably one of those low ranked workers who had a hard time from her boss and is taking it out on us.. Good thing now that we’re hired as receptionists in this hotel, we’re under Miss Kashiwagi’s protection. We don’t have to be afraid of this lady right here.”

“Wait. You guys were chosen to work as receptionists in this hotel?” The lady crossed her arms and looked really confused.

“Yes, we are.. I don’t see the problem in that.”

“There is a problem. Why would Miss Kashiwagi hire somebody like the both of you as receptionists in this hotel? People like you will just bring the hotel quality down.”

“Oh, you did not just insult us..” Rena raised her voice being upset because of the insult.

The lady spoke out loud in confidence. “Yes I just did, and I have the right to.. You two on the other hand....”

Mayu raised her hand, stopping the lady from speaking further. “Sorry, but we’re not interested in speaking with an ignorant person like you..”

The young lady’s mouth got pried open in shock as she got angry all over again. “Did you just call me ignorant!? Do you know who I am!?!?”

“Both of you, come here!” A mysterious girl pulled both Mayu and Rena away from the heated scene before it gets worse than it already is and dragged them all the way to the toilet and locked the door.

Mayu let out a growl of anger before the girl could open her mouth. “What the hell, woman!? You’re trying to kidnap us or something!? If you are, let me just tell you this straight so that we do not waste any more time in doing this. I have no money to pay you at all. You wanna kidnap, then kidnap her. At least she has money to buy a Play Station 3 console.” Mayu pointed at Rena.

Rena shot a glare back at Mayu. “Excuse me? I bought the Play Station 3 with my savings! And what happened to ‘I’ll cover your back, you cover mine’? Traitor!”

“Hey, hey! Enough! Let me speak!” The girl finally voiced out, gaining both Mayu and Rena’s attention.

“Wait a minute.. Who are you again?” Mayu asked in a questioning tone.

“I’m Watanabe Miyuki. Or you guys can call me Milky. I’m another interviewee who got the job of receptionist as well..”

“Oh!? Another Watanabe!? My super duper long lost sister! Or cousin! Or aunt! Or whoever the hell you are! Here, high five!!” Mayu held her right hand up for Milky to reply it with a high five.

“Erm....” Milky reluctantly gave Mayu a high five.

“Yay!! Sisters!!!” Mayu immediately clinged put an arm over Milky’s shoulder as if they were best friends already. “You wanna grab some coffee now?”

“Coffee????? Sure!!! I love coffee!! Let’s go now!” Didn’t take a second for Milky to change her mind back right away. “Wait, no!!!!! Stop changing the topic. Now is not the time for coffee! Do you both realize who you fought with outside the CEO’s office?”

Rena rolled her eyes around, thinking of an answer. “The janitor?”

“Does she look like she is dressed up to clean the floor!?” Milky made some sense. It doesn’t matter which part in the world, no janitor in the world will dress up in a thousand dollar worth of formal clothing.

“Well don’t all workers here dress up formally?” Mayu shrugged.

“No!! Think about it! She was standing in the CEO’s lounge. Other than us interviewees and the secretary, who else would be allowed into that area?”

“You’re right! It all makes sense now! She must be the coffee lady!” Rena answered confidently.

“Maybe.. Well, she can’t be one of the interviewees since we didn’t see her just now. And she can’t be the CEO since the CEO was Miss Kashiwagi Yuki..” Mayu stated.

“You’re right about one point.. Miss Kashiwagi is indeed the CEO..” Milky made a sudden pause and glanced back at both of them before continuing. “But do you realize that huge companies like this AKB Hotel has actually two CEOs instead of only one?”

Suddenly Mayu and Rena froze as they started laughing jokingly. Despite laughing like that, they started sweating buckets at the same time. Even their laugh sounded shaky already. “H-H-ha-haha-h-hahaha...... C-Come on, Milky.... Y-You’re n-not trying to s-say that......... You don’t a-actually mean that........the lady.....is......you know....just so happen to be.....well...a CEO or something like that, right? H-hahah-haha........”

Milky nodded her head softly and patted both backs together. “You guys should have done more research about this hotel, guys.. The young lady you argued with is Matsui Jurina. The second CEO of AKB Hotel... You guys are going to have a haaaaaard time here, buddies.. I feel you... I really do.. Have a nice day..” Milky patted their backs for one last time before exiting the the toilet.

“...............” All Mayu and Rena could do right now is to look at each other’s face silently for a long time. The awkwardness in the air was so thick.

“Wanna quit this job?” Mayu asked Rena with a pokerface.

“Very tempting....” Rena nodded and replied, also with a pokerface.

“................” Again with the silent, blank stare.

Mayu scratched the back of her head. “We’re dead, aren’t we?”

“You don’t say?”

I've been a silent reader all the time but your fic is really great, forced me to move my lazy hands and typing a comment xD I like the element in this story, you bring the comedy naturally and I really enjoy it not to mention I'm laughing like crazy at Mayu's hallucination

MayuRena have such a great chemistry with each other, their interaction was hilarious as hell lol! it's kinda rare to find Rena with kind of character like that but still it's very interesting.

Seems you made Jurina as a character who hard to deal with. How Rena will solve the problem especially with Jurina as her boss! she's going to have a hard time. I can't wait to see how the relationship between them will grow.

Waiting for the next update :cow: :cow:

Haaa....haaaa... pants....
Whew, those two somehow managed to survive
And well, good job Mayuyu for kinda containing her inner Yukirin loving perverted side
Then Miyuki...
Lol, Sisters!!Coffee!! YEAAAAA!!
But... they just messed with the wrong person...a few hours(?) ago...
And then, this is where Rena comes into play:
what I think if Mayu knew the existence of WMatsui and stuff:
"Okay, Rena! This is where you come into play,
go save our butts by making that Matsui Jurina fall in love with ya so we don't have to quit."
Well, it probably won't be so easy
but I can't wait for the next

Chapter 3



Finally the day has come for Mayu and Rena to finally be able to start working as an official receptionist in the seven-star AKB Hotel. Something was still bothering them a lot.

AKB Hotel Staff Cafe

“Hey...” Rena called out to Mayu, breaking the awkward silence. Despite calling out to Mayu, Rena still had her head facing onto her plate of spaghetti.

“What?” Mayu was chewing on a piece of her chicken chop.

“I have an idea...” Rena shifted her eyes towards Mayu and gazing deep into her eyes.

“What kind of idea?” Somehow Mayu could feel an uneasy feeling.

“You go apologize to her..”

Rena’s statement almost made Mayu spit out the chicken that she was chewing. “Me? Why don’t you go apologize to her! You both share the same family name after all..”

“What kind of logic is that? Besides, you’re the one who insulted her. I barely said anything offensive about her.” Rena retorted with her whole body.

“Oh!? I wasn’t the one who spilled water all over her $1000 clothes. And I did that to save your ass, Rena.. This all started from you. So, you should go apologize to her instead.”

“Even if I were to apologize to her, do you think she would forgive me? Besides, she would demand for the $1000! Where can I find that amount of money??”

“Well, you have a job now, don’t you? Just ask her to deduct $1000 from your salary..” Mayu was right. This is the only source of income that Rena will be having.

“Alright, fine.. But that doesn’t mean she will forgive me.”

“Ah, not my problem, then.. I gave you a suggestion already. So keep me out of this.”
“You are partially responsible of making her mad, Mayu..”

“Alright, then I will give you another suggestion..”

“What now...” Rena was wearing an annoyed face once again. Rena already knew that Mayu was going to tell her another outrageous suggestion. Well, we all know Mayu. She just loves to step it up a notch when it comes to outrageous things.

“You could try to win her heart. Shower her with lots of love. Date her. Sleep with her.”

Rena shook her head while wearing a pokerface. “You’re officially the craziest person I have ever known in my life..”

“Why, thank you for the compliment, Rena..” Mayu shot the brightest smile ever at Rena.

Rena squinted her eyes at Mayu and said in an annoyed tone. “Your teeth is flashing so brightly, I’m gonna go blind anytime.. And, there is no way I am going to date the CEO!”

“Then there is no way she will ever EVER forgive you..”

“Well, if she still does not forgive me, then she can just-”

“Can just what?” The familiar voice of a lady sounded from the side, startling them. Speak of the devil.

“M-Miss Matsui..” Both of them stuttered at the same time.

Jurina pointed her finger at Rena’s face while wearing a straight face. “Beware of your choice of words, Matsui Rena.. You’re just a new employee here.”

“I’m s-sorry....” Rena apologized as she bowed her head. Mayu just awkwardly rolling her eyes around, trying not to have any eye contact with Jurina.

“I see you girls are having lunch..” Jurina suddenly pulled a chair and sat together with them on the same table.

Sure enough, the whole atmosphere became awkward right away as soon as Jurina sat on the chair. She continued staring at Rena and Mayu blankly. “Please continue eating.. Don’t mind me.. I’ll just be sitting here.” Jurina smiled back at them. Jurina was obviously making fun of them by making the whole atmosphere awkward.

Mayu and Rena looked back and forth at each other again and again. It’s not like they have any appetite to eat with the CEO staring at them like a hawk. It was simply too awkward. Mayu finally voiced out.

“Sorry, but we feel a slight bit uncomfortable with you looking at us eating... Just a slight bit..” Mayu stick her index finger and thumb together and showed it to Jurina.

“You feel uncomfortable with me sitting here? What’s wrong? Am I not welcomed here? You want me to leave? Just say it and I will leave right now.” Jurina kept on pressuring them with questions.

“Oh, no no no no... You’re the CEO. You are more than welcome to have a sit here...” Rena insisted.

“Oh? You do know my rank now, do you?” Jurina interlocked her fingers and placed them on the table. She was wearing a satisfied smile.

No words needed. They both merely nodded their heads guiltily.

“So, I heard from Yuki.... Watanabe Mayu and Matsui Rena.. The two whom Yuki told me had a lot of potential.. She told me that you two did an exceptional job during the interview...”

“Aww... Come on, Miss Matsui... We’re not worth your praise..” Mayu scratched the side of her head.

It didn’t take one second for Jurina to reply with a cold tone. “You’re absolutely right about that.. You two are not worth my praises at all..”

Mayu immediately whispered into Rena’s ears. “Should have just kept the remarks to myself..”

“What’s done is done... Yuki doesn’t know anything about what happened outside of her office before and after the interview, so I can’t blame her for that. You two still did good during the interview and got the job. I have nothing to say about this case, and I trust Yuki’s judgement... If she approves the two of you, it simply means that she sees some capability in you. We are going to have very high expectations from both of you. You should be honored to be working in this hotel..”

“We are... We really are honored to work in such a famous hotel and under two of the best CEOs in the world..”

“The two of you must either be so lucky or so unlucky to be working under me from now on..” Jurina replied with a cold tone.

They gulped and looked back at Jurina’s cold stare. “O-Of course we are lucky to be working under you, Miss Matsui... Why would we be unlucky? Ha Ha.. Right, Mayu?” Rena faked a laugh and nudged Mayu’s arm.

“Y-Yea... We should be honored to work under you, Miss Matsui.. Very honored.. Erm... So no hard feelings, right? You now, about earlier.. We’re a little playful, you know.. We’re just playing around. That’s all.. Right, Rena?” Mayu kept on faking a laughter as she nudged back onto Rena’s arm, signifying her to laugh along.

“No hard feelings, you ask? What do you think?” Jurina smiled back. Mayu and Rena could tell that Jurina’s smile isn’t the friendly kind of smile but a forced and annoyed kind of smile. “You know what? Let’s make things simple. If you were in my shoes earlier on, and some stranger ruined your $1000 clothes and left without paying, then in turn got in an argument with the same stranger later on. What would you have done? Would you have forgiven them?”

“Well, if it was me, I would not forgive them because I know I am quite the asshole.. But you’re different from me, Miss Matsui... Since you’re so kind-hearted and nice, I think you would....” Mayu’s statement was cut off by Jurina immediately.

“How do you know that I’m kind-hearted and nice? You don’t even know me.. I’m a total asshole.” Jurina answered in a sarcastic tone, gaining only silence from the two young ladies. “And you’re still going to pay for my clothes, Matsui Rena..”

Mayu suddenly voiced out. “Erm.. About that.. No offense, but why not send your clothes for laundry?”

“Laundry?” Jurina looked more annoyed than before. “You want me to send my $1000 clothes to the laundry? You think it can be done by sending it to a laundry!? I have to handwash it myself, and do you even realize how much effort it takes to wash those set of clothes!?”

“I’m sorry about your clothes, Miss Matsui... You can deduct it from my salary..” Rena begged.

“Just deduct from your salary?” Jurina let out a smirk. “I don’t think so.. It is too simple like this..”

“Erm... So, what is your plan?”

“I want the $1000 in cash by next week..”

“B-But I can’t get that amount of money in such a short time..”

“It’s just $1000. It is not a large sum of money.” Jurina asked them with a confused tone.

“It is for me..” Rena said softly.

Jurina looked confused. “How did you afford to study in AKB International University then? Scholarship?”

Mayu nodded. “Yeah.. We got full scholarship for that because of our good results. Not one cent was used on the fees... If we did not have a full scholarship to study there, we wouldn’t even have thought about studying there at all. The fees are just too expensive for us.”

“That is not my problem. I want to see the money by next week. No exceptions.” Jurina warned.

Rena tried to beg. “I really can’t get the money by next we-”

“Well then you just have to work part time or overtime, sister! You too, Watanabe Mayu.”

“M-Me?” Mayu’s eyes widened from Jurina’s statement as she pointed to herself.

“No, I’m talking to the lady standing by the wall. Yes, I am talking to you!”

“Yes, I know. But why me as well!? I don’t owe you any money.” Mayu asked once again.

“Orders from the CEO, period! Not satisfied with me? Quit then!” Jurina said in a loud tone.

Mayu and Rena could only keep their mouth shut. They did not want to lose this job no matter what. They have to endure through this. Jurina then gestured them to lean over on the table and then moved her own head closer to them and whispered to them in a cold, scary tone.

“I will make both your lives a living hell.. You heard me? I will make sure you two wished that you had never work here in the first place..” Jurina then shifted her eyes towards Rena and pointed at her face. “Especially you... Matsui Rena...”

All Rena could do is shrivel herself up from the total intimidation and looked down on the table while fear crawl over her body.

“Jurina...” A beautiful voice suddenly called out, causing all three of them to fall back on their respective seats.

“Hey, Yuki...” Jurina smiled back sweetly at the beautiful raven haired CEO.

Rena looked over at Mayu and it seems like she in once again in a trance from Yuki’s beauty. Mayu whispered in her own heart. “Wow..... She must be an angel...”

“So.....beautiful.......” Mayu smiled to herself as she let her imaginations run wild once again.

Yuki smiled and looked over at the two new employees. “Mayu and Rena, was it? How do you like the food here in the staff cafe? Feel free to critic and complain all you want if the food here does not suit your taste.”

“Absolutely not. The chicken chop here is simply perfect... Just like your face.” Mayu complimented.

“Excuse me?” Yuki seemed surprised by Mayu’s choice of words.

Rena immediately whispered into Mayu’s ears. “You just compared her face with chicken chop. Not a good choice of words, Mayu..”

Mayu voiced out immediately after realizing that she arranged her words wrongly. “Oh, no no no... That’s not what I meant, Miss Kashiwagi.. What I meant is that your face look perfect... Not like a chicken chop.”

Yuki simply let out a smile at Mayu before shifting her attention to Jurina. “So you’ve been here the whole time, Jurina?”

“Pfft..” Rena closed in towards Mayu’s ears and whispered. “The great Watanabe Mayu got ignored Chapter 2.”

Mayu whispered back. “I’m well aware of that, Rena. You don’t have to create a title for that. So shut the hell up.”

“I’m just chilling around..” Jurina answered Yuki.

“Jurina.. You’re not trying to scare them, are you?” Yuki shot a suspicious look at Jurina.

“Me? Nah... Just having a little chat with our new employees, that’s all... Right, girls?” Jurina smiled back at them. The kind of smile that forces you to have no other choice than to say yes.

And of course all they did was look back at Yuki and nodded their heads silently.

“You sure Jurina here is not bullying you?” Yuki placed an arm over Jurina’s shoulder.

“No...” Both Mayu and Rena answered softly.

“Well, good then. Let’s get going, Jurina.. Lunch time..” Yuki pulled Jurina up from the chair and dragged her away from the table.

“H-Hey... I’m not done greeting them yet, Yuki!” Jurina was being dragged away.

“Oh, I think you’re done here, Jurina... Let’s just go eat..” Yuki continued dragging Jurina towards the exit.

Jurina turned her head back at them for one last time and moved her lips silently, forming these words. “I will be watching you two...”

“Well, that was awkward...” Rena scratched her own head.

“......”

“Mayu?”

“She’s so pretty.........”

“Hey, Mayu, come back!” Rena clapped her hands in front of Mayu’s face, alerting the day dreaming girl to come back.

“Huh? What?” Mayu’s soul finally came back to Earth.

“Now is not the time for day dreaming, Mayu.. We both saw it just now. That Jurina is simply having her revenge on us!”

Mayu squinted her eyes annoyingly at Rena. “This is all you..................”

“What?”

“You.................................” Mayu pointed her finger at Rena’s face.

“Me what? Finish your sentence, Mayu.”

“YOU...........................................” Mayu poked her finger on Rena’s cheeks hard.

“That hurts... Stop it.” Rena smacked Mayu’s arm away.

“Damn you, Rena! I have to work overtime here because of you!”

“Hey, It wasn’t entirely my fault, alright?”

“Hey, girls...” Milky appeared by their table and smiled at them.

“Milky! My long lost sister!” Mayu immediately stood up and hugged Milky tightly.

“Erm... Hey, Mayu...” Milky did not know how to react to that.

“So, what are you up to, Milky?” Rena greeted.

“It’s almost time up. We have to meet up in the lobby for the briefing, remember?” Milky reminded both the girls.

“Of course we remember.. Let’s go now.” The three of them rushed down to the lobby.

On the way down to the lobby, Mayu whispered to Rena. “The more Jurina tries to get rid of us, the more we must show her our capability and prove to her that we will not give up so easily.”

“Sure thing.. We have to show her what we are really made of.” Rena clenched her fist together.

“We’re made of cells, Rena.. Cells.” Mayu answered sarcastically.

“Stop trying to act smart in front of me, Mayu. You know what I’m talking about.”

As they were already informed beforehand, the secretary was already standing in the lobby waiting for them. She was wearing a sweet smile as always.

“I believe you have met me before. Forgive me for not formally introducing myself when you all came for the interview. My name is Kojima Haruna, the secretary for Miss Kashiwagi Yuki.”

Haruna started with her own introduction before going into the hotel’s protocols, rules and regulations. Mayu and Rena tried her best to jot down everything they heard as fast as they could because Haruna isn’t exactly a slow speaker. The words that came out of her mouth was like a gatling gun. How does she expect everyone to be able to remember all these? Heck, how does she remember all these? Maybe she is a veteran. That’s why she was able to vomit every rules and regulations back out in an instant. Good thing Mayu and Rena’s hands are fast enough to write down every single main point Haruna said. As they looked back at the notes, there were at least five full pages of hotel protocols.

“Well, there’s a lot of stuff to remember..” Mayu nudged Rena’s elbow.

“And there will be more to come.” A voice sounded from their back, alerting everyone’s attention.

“Ah.. Miss Yokoyama... You’re here..” Haruna smiled at the lady and stood beside her. “Everyone, Miss Yokoyama here is...”

The lady interrupted Haruna politely. “It’s alright, Haruna. I will take over from here. Thank you for your time. You may take your leave.”

“Very well then.. Have a nice day.” Haruna shot a sweet smile at her and the the new employees before taking her leave.

As the new employees looked on at Haruna leaving the lobby, their attention were shot back at the lady as soon as she started voicing out loudly at them. “My name is Yokoyama Yui. The Front Office Manager. I will be in charge of looking after you new employees. You’re only allowed three mistakes while working as a receptionist. After the first mistake, you will receive a warning letter. After the second one, you will either be transferred to another department or demoted. After the third one, you’ll be fired. No arguments will be entertained.”

“That’s a little strict..” Mayu whispered.

“Strict?” Unfortunately, Yui overheard Mayu’s statement and stood in front of her, staring deep into her eyes. “This is a seven-star hotel, Miss Watanabe. We can’t afford to make ANY mistakes at all. If you think this is too strict then you could pack your things and leave now. Nobody will be stopping you.”

“I’m sorry..” Mayu apologized.

“I have had instructions to keep an eye on you two. Watanabe Mayu and Matsui Rena.”

Mayu whispered into Rena’s ears sarcastically. “Well I wonder who....”

“Not now, Mayu..”

Yui continued. “So, remember.. Make no mistakes and everything will work out just fine.”

Yui started giving the new employees their job briefing. After about 2 hours, Yui finally finished with her briefing and made her way back to the office. Rena and Mayu can officially start working as receptionists. Including them, there were about eight receptionists working behind the front desk. Of course this includes Milky as well, who was stationed at the very end of the front desk while Mayu and Rena was stationed at the other end.

Mayu sat on the chair in the hotel front desk and smiled at Rena brightly. “Finally.. We’re officially receptionists..”

“Yeah.. But that does not minus the fact that we still have to work overtime here..”

“I’m still not done with you about this case, Rena..” Mayu pointed her finger at Rena once again.

“Heads up. A guest.” Rena nudged Mayu’s arm as she saw a lady in shades, wearing a hoodie and jeans walking through the entrance of the lobby and towards them.

As the lady got nearer, Mayu frowned and whispered into Rena’s ears. “Now that’s a guest you don’t see everyday in this hotel...”

“Not so loud, Mayu... She’s still a guest.”

“But hey, don’t she seem very familiar?”

“Hmm... I don’t know... I can’t really tell with her wearing those shades and hoodie.” Rena answered back.

The lady stood in front of the desk and looked at Rena. Rena then greeted her with a bright smile. “Welcome to AKB Hotel. Matsui Rena at your service.”

“Rena, was it? Yes, I would like to rent a deluxe suite. Is it available?” The lady voiced out.

Mayu thought silently to herself, “Wow, a deluxe suite? Well, seems like I was wrong about her all along.. But that face... Where have I seen it before..”

“Are you here with your family, ma’am?” Rena smiled while her right hand clicked on the mouse to check the availability of the room.

“No, I came here alone.” The lady smiled back.

“I see.. Just a moment.” Rena took a peek at the lady’s smile and replied it with her own smile. “You have a beautiful smile, ma’am..”

“Thank you..” The lady accidentally tilted her shades, causing Rena to be able to see part of her face.

“No way! You’re the-” Rena was silenced instantly by the lady’s palm covering her mouth.

Mayu, who was sitting beside Rena saw the lady’s face as well. Mayu seemed very shocked about this. She then whispered softly at the lady. “You’re the superstar Maeda Atsuko, aren’t you?”

“Shhhhhh! Nobody must know that I’m here, get it?” Atsuko placed a finger across her own lips.
 
“Got it....” Both of them whispered simultaneously.

“Oh my gosh, I still can’t believe I am actually standing right in front of Maeda Atsuko..” Rena covered her face in happiness.

“Why are you being so secretive?” Mayu whispered

“I am completely sick of my non-stop daily schedules. I don’t even have time to have a proper sleep. So yea... I kinda ran away...” Atsuko answered as she adjusted her shades back in place.

“What about your new song? I heard you were recording a new song. If you simply run away like this, your fans must be really disappointed. Heck, I am feeling a little disappointed too. Since I am one of your fan.”

“I have done recording the song. I am not that irresponsible towards my fans. I just need a little time out. That’s all..”

“I see... Well, being a celebrity is hard, huh?” Rena asked.

Atsuko nodded.

“Okay...... So, I found two vacant deluxe suite for you.. Would you like the one with the Trade Center view or the one with the AKB Garden view?” Rena smiled sweetly at Atsuko.

“The one with the garden view.” Atsuko stated.

“Very wise choice, ma’am.” Rena nodded and clicked on the mouse again. “So when would you like to check out?” Rena smiled.

“I will check out when I check out.”

“I-I’m sorry?” Rena looked confused.

“I said, I will check out when I check out. I don’t have a proper time frame for the number of days I will be staying here.”

“Okay... So I’ll just leave the check out date blank. You can come to me anytime when you want to check out.” Rena stood up and passed a card key to Atsuko. “So, here’s your card, ma’am. 25th floor, room number 2507. The lift is that way. Have a nice stay here.”

“If there is anything I want, I will personally ask the two of you to send it up to my room. Got it?”

“But that’s not our jo-”

“I don’t care...... I will hold you two responsible. See you.” Atsuko left the front desk and made her way to the lift access.

“Wow... Did we just become Maeda Atsuko’s room service attendant?” Mayu scratched her head.

Rena let her body weight slam back onto the chair and sighed. “I don’t know for how long we can endure this for... There is a CEO that is trying her best to get rid of us, a manager that is keeping an eye on us 24/7, and now we have to do room service for Maeda Atsuko?”

Mayu replied right away. “Actually I wouldn’t mind the last one though.. Come on, Rena. It’s Maeda Atsuko we’re talking about.”

“I get what you mean, Mayu.. Maeda Atsuko. A superstar. Where else could we get a chance like this? Never! But don’t forget we have our own jobs to take care of, not to mention we still have to do overtime. We are here as receptionists. Not as fangirls. And we have to prove to Jurina that we are hardworking and deserve to be here.”

“True.. But keeping the guests as comfortable as possible is our number one priority. And whatever the guests tell us, we must deliver. So, yeah... Maeda Atsuko’s room service.” Mayu shrugged back at Rena.

Rena, not knowing what to reply any further sighed once again. “The very first day at work and we already have such a heavy workload. Today is going to be a loooooong day..”

Sorry for the late chapter.. I've been busy with my university stuff.. Just finished my tests~
So here's Chapter 4.. Enjoy~!  :banana: :pepper: :leek: :taco: :muffin: :strawberry: :lock:


Chapter 4



*BEEEP*

The sound of the hotel room bell buzzing alerted the tenant as she scurried towards the door while voicing out. “Who is it?”

There Mayu and Rena stood, with a tray of the hotel’s famous Breakfast Platter and a glass of orange juice. “Mayu and Rena here...”

After taking a quick peep at the peephole, the door opened slowly and a weird looking Maeda Atsuko showed up.

“What the...” Mayu and Rena frowned her eyebrows at the preposterous sight of Atsuko wrapping the bed comforter all around her body with the hoodie over her head. The only thing that can be seen is her pair of eyes and her nose.

“Are you both here alone?” Atsuko popped her head out of the room and glanced left and right before pulling them into the room.

“What are you? Assassin’s Creed? Why are you covering your whole body like this?” Mayu continued glancing up and down at Atsuko.

“I can’t take chances, Mayu.. You should know that I should never be found by anyone.” Atsuko finally removed the comforter off her body and slid down her hoodie.

“You’re really serious about not wanting to be found, are you..” Rena

“Yes I am...”

“Well, here’s the Breakfast Platter that you ordered, Miss Maeda..” Rena removed the stainless steel cover off the plate to reveal a plate containing two slices of toasted bread with blueberry jam, two slices of bacon and sausages, a baked potato with sour cream topping and a sunny-side up egg.

Acchan gave it a little sniff as her eyes closed by itself and then breathe out. “Mmm... It smells good.. And please, call me Atsuko.. Since we’re going to be really close from now on.”

Mayu shot a glance at Rena who replied with a blank stare. They then shifted their attention back at Atsuko. Rena voiced out. “Wow.. Friends with a celebrity? That’s like everybody’s dream come true.”

“Cool! If we are friends, then we should share food!” Mayu immediately lunged towards Atsuko’s Breakfast Platter.

Atsuko reflexes were fast enough to allow her to shift her plate away before Mayu could get her hands on it. Mayu ended up flat on the ground. “That hurts....”

“Nah-ah... Not so fast, Mayu.. This is my breakfast. If you want it, you have to order your own portion.” Atsuko smiled sweetly at her.

Mayu stood up and dusted her clothes. “Fine.. Don’t give then. And it’s $15.99..”

“Hey.... You’re charging me? I thought we were friends..”

“Hotel protocol.. We’re can’t just charge this platter for free. I mean, it’s not like we cooked this for you. We simply ”

“Here.. $50. Keep the change.” Atsuko literally placed a $50 note on Mayu’s hand.

“Well, if you insist..” Mayu kept the money immediately and shot a wink at Rena.

Rena pointed at Mayu. “We’re going to share that money, alright.”

“Deduct $15.99 from $50, we are still left with $34.01..” Mayu then placed an arm on Rena’s shoulder. “Rena, I’ll pay you one cent for being my loyal bodyguard.”

“The hell you’re paying me one cent. And I don’t have any memories of being your bodyguard.” Rena argued back.

“That’s because the aliens brainwashed you...” Mayu poked Rena’s forehead.

Atsuko was just sitting by her bed, enjoying her breakfast while watching their little skit. She giggled to herself. “You guys are funny..”

Both of them continued arguing with each other. Rena voiced out, “It’s $17 per person, Mayu... Alright, fine.. I’ll donate that one cent for your mental check up, so you get $17.01. Deal?”

Atsuko’s cellphone suddenly rang, bringing silence to both the girls. As soon as Atsuko looked at it, she lost her smile in an instant. Atsuko put her phone in silent mode and tossed it aside. Her expression changed from cheerful to gloomy.

“Work?” Rena was a little concerned because Atsuko’s face did not look that good.

Atsuko shook her head and smiled back at them. “Nah... Just some unnecessary calls.”

“There’s something fishy about this..” Mayu whispered to Rena.

“You don’t say.. I can sense it as well.. And I don’t think the reason she ran away was simply because she wanted to avoid work.” Rena whispered back.

“What are you two whispering to each other?”

“Oh, nothing... Just that you have a beautiful shirt, that’s all..”

Atsuko remained glancing at both of them silently before voicing out to them. “You think I have other reasons to be here don’t you?”

Rena quickly replied. “Oh, of course no-”

Mayu intercepted. “Yes, we do actually...”

“God damn it, Mayu..” Rena smacked herself on the head.

Atsuko looked away from them for a short moment.

“So, we were right.. There must be some other reason that drive you to run away. We can tell something else is bothering you.. And it’s definitely not your packed schedule.”

“You can tell us, Atsuko.."

“I......” Atsuko finally opens her mouth, attracting attention from the two girls.

“Yes? Go on..” Both the girls were anxiously waiting to hear Atsuko’s story.

Atsuko stood up suddenly and rushed them out of the door. “I’m sorry.. I’ll call you again if I need anything, ok? See you guys..” Atsuko smiled back at them before she slammed the door right at their faces.

They looked at each other for a short while before Mayu voiced out. “Definitely suspicious..”

“Yea.. But if she doesn’t want to reveal it, we are not going to force her to.” Rena looked at her watch. “Well, it’s 8.30am now. We still have about half an hour before our shift starts.”

“Let’s just hang around in the Staff Lounge..” Both Mayu and Rena made their way to the Staff Lounge.

“Rena, one moment.” A familiar voice called out. It was Jurina.

“Ah, Miss Matsui? Is there a problem?” Rena asked.

Jurina shot a deep glance at Mayu signifying her to leave the area at once.

“I-I’ll just meet you back at the Staff Lounge, Rena..” Mayu quickly escaped from the area, leaving only Rena and Jurina in the hall way.

“I hope you still remember that you owe me $1000.”

“Oh, crap. I forgot all about that..” Rena thought.

“Just a reminder, you only have four more days to pay up.”

“But what If I really can’t get the money in four days time?”

“Then I will transfer you into another department.” Jurina answered right away.

“What? No, please Miss Matsui.. I don’t want to be transferred.” Rena begged.

Jurina giggled a little. “Pfft... Nah, I was just kidding.. Of course I am not going to transfer you.”

“Phew..” Rena let out a loud sigh of relief. “For a moment, I really thought you were serious.”

“Nah.. I’m not transferring you anywhere.” Jurina’s tone changed into a serious one right away. “I will simply fire you. It’s faster and easier.”

“H-Huh?” Rena’s eyes widened in shock.

“You heard me, Rena.. You have four days to pay the money or you’re fired.”

“B-But you can’t do that..”

“Bad news for you, Rena. Apparently, I can.”

“B-But you can’t fire me just because I can’t pay you back the money..” Rena argued back.

Jurina became completely pissed off. “You think it is solely about the $1000? Since you ruined my clothes, I was forced to miss out on a very important business meeting with a CEO of another hotel about a project that costs millions of dollars.. Then the CEO now thinks that I am some stuck up bitch who does not want to do business together. I had to write a letter of apology to the CEO and explain the matter in detail to her. Then you dare talk back to me like you’re above me? Yeah, I have more than enough reasons to fire you on the very first day itself. Don’t you start challenging me now, Rena. If I was any worse than I already am, I would have asked for a million dollar compensation! So don’t come complaining to me that you can’t pay up $1000 when you almost made me lose a million dollar worth project! I was going to keep this to myself. I really did not want to say all these but you forced me to.”

Rena did not realize that the little accident she caused will turn out to be a huge matter. She tilted her head down in guilt immediately. “I-I’m sorry..”

“Forget it.. Remember.. Four days, Rena...” Jurina reminded for for another time before leaving the area.

Rena was left dumbfounded for a short while. She then walked back to the Staff Lounge and sat beside Mayu.

Mayu, seemingly curious, asked Rena about the situation right away. “So, how was the little chat with Jurina?”

Rena sighed loudly. “Simple. No $1000 in four days time, no more job.”

“You mean she will fire you if you don’t pay her back? Isn’t she misusing her authority in this case? Jeez, that Jurina is really a pain in the ass..”

“It’s a good thing that Jurina is doing all these to me, though.. It’s like a life’s challenge..” Rena suddenly looked up at the ceiling and smiled on her own.

“You know, sometimes I don’t understand you at all..” Mayu shook her head before her eyes shifted towards a couch nearby. “Hey, Rena.. Take a look at that tall lady laying on the couch over there.. She looks hot.” Mayu nudged Rena’s arm and pointed at the couch.

“Does everyone here attracts your attention?” Rena rolled her eyes at Mayu.

“Take a look at her yourself, Rena..” Mayu turned Rena’s head towards that direction.

The lady lay on the couch, hands tucked behind her head. The headphones attached to her ears. She looked quite comfortable in her faded blue jeans and Converse shoes. Her lightly tanned skin shined in the beam of the chandelier that stole its way into the whole room. Her brunette hair was feathered back away from her face revealing the perfect lines of her lips. She had her eyes closed, his brain soaking up the music no one could hear.
The red light on the stereo flickered as the track on the tape changed. Her eyes opened and Rena saw that they were two very stunning, beautiful black orbs. She looked around the modernly furnished surroundings of the AKB Staff Lounge before removing the headphones from her ears and turned off the stereo. As the red light slowly faded out, the lady also faded off into a deep, restful sleep. Her body now lay motionless except for the soft rise and fall of his chest with every breath she took.

“Well, I have to admit it myself. She sure looks kinda hot..” Even Rena was amused by the lady laying on the couch. “But this is one rare time where I actually find a lady beautiful and handsome at the same time.”

“See? I told you.. Even her legs are long and slim..” Mayu smiled in satisfaction.

“She could pass as a good looking guy or even a beautiful lady..”

“Go talk to her..” Mayu pushed Rena’s shoulder a little, earning a shocked expression from Rena.

“Excuse me? Why does it always have to be me? Why don’t you go talk to her?” Rena pushed Mayu’s shoulder.

“Sorry but I am loyal to Miss Kashiwagi. I have no interest with other beings..”

Rena’s mouth was pried open from Mayu’s statement. “Other beings? I feel offended, Mayu. Am I just an ‘other being’ to you?”

It didn’t take Mayu a second to reply. “Compared to Miss Kashiwagi, you’re nothing but Hunchback of the Notre Dame. So, please never compare yourself to Miss Kashiwagi.”

Rena placed both her arms on her waist after hearing Mayu’s preposterous words. “Wow.. Is that how you treat your childhood friend? I’ve known you almost my whole life. That Miss Kashiwagi on the other hand, crossed her legs just once and you put her above me? Some best friend you are, Mayu.. Some best friend you are.. You are eligible of getting the worst friend award.”

Mayu let out an annoying snicker. “Pfft... If you’re trying to make me feel guilty by saying these things, let me just tell you straight. It’s not going to work. Not in a million years. And Miss Kashiwagi will forever be my angel..”

“Erm... Hi..” The tall lady who was dozing off on the couch was standing beside them, grabbing their attention. “Are you two new here?”

“Uh-huh..” Mayu and Rena nodded their heads simultaneously.

“Cool... What’s your name?” The tall lady asked.

Rena answered politely. “Oh, this is Watanabe Mayu and I’m Matsui Rena. Today is our third day working here as receptionists. And you are?” 

“Shinoda Mariko. The Executive Chef of this hotel. As the title already explained, I am the one who takes care of all the chefs in this hotel and make sure that all food served in this hotel are of the highest quality.” The lady explained.

“Wow.. You’re Shinoda Mariko? The one who wrote the famous gourmet book, ‘The Spice of Life’?” Rena seemed shocked.

“Well, that should be me..” Mariko smiled back.

“Oh my god, I’m a very big fan of your books, Miss Shinoda.” Rena clasped both her hands together in awe as her eyes shone brightly at Mariko.

“Please call me Mariko... And thank you for reading my books.” Mariko smiled back sweetly at Rena.

Rena got excited and she started blabbering about. “I have been trying out some of your recipes. I tasted it myself. It was delicious. My grandmother told me it tasted just like the original. Ask Mayu. She was there to try it out.”

Mayu nodded her head at Rena’s statement and placed an arm over Rena’s shoulder. “Yes, I agree that Rena’s cooking is AMAZING, Mariko.. So amazing that her cooking and your cooking had only one thing in difference.”

“Wow, Mayu I never knew you thought that way of my cooking before. You’re making me feel touched..” Gaining a compliment from Mayu had always been the hardest thing in the world. Rena was literally feeling touched by Mayu’s statement since she hardly received any compliments from her before.

Except for, it wasn’t a compliment actually. “Don’t get emotional with me now, Rena. I’m not done. The one difference between both your cooking is that Rena’s dish sucked 48 times more than yours, Mariko.. Yours was exquisite. Hers, rubbish.”

Rena was shocked. “Oi oi, it’s not that bad! And where the hell did you get the number 48 from?”

“Just telling the truth.. And the truth hurts. Welcome to the real world, Rena. Deal with it.” Mayu shrugged and smiled innocently.

“Rena, was it? So, do you like cooking?” Mariko asked Rena.

“I love it with all my heart..” Rena nodded.

“Good. Then don’t let those words from Mayu discourage you from that. Just keep on practicing and I will be looking forward for the day I can finally taste your cooking. Ok?” Somehow Mariko’s words got into Rena deep.

Rena nodded and smiled brightly at Mariko. “You’re an amazing woman, Mariko..”

“Mayu, Rena! What are you two still lazing around here for? It’s already 9.05am. You’re already five minutes late for work.” A loud voice roared at Mayu and Rena, and GUESS WHO?

Upon hearing the voice, Rena and Mayu automatically stood up straight as if they were boy scouts being called out by their leader. “M-Miss Matsui..”

Jurina looked over at Mariko and ordered. “Mariko, you too..”

“Yes, Miss Matsui.” Mariko nodded her head a little in respect before turning back at Mayu and Rena’s direction. “It’s been nice chatting with the both of you. Let’s chat again some time. I’ll be taking my leave now. I’ll see you two around.”

After grabbing her clothes from the locker, Mariko took them into the changing room and changed into her formal attire.

“Well, let’s get going Rena.” Mayu pulled Rena away from the lounge as fast as she can. Jurina managed to shoot a final glance at Rena’s guilty face for one final time bbefore they exited.

As they made their way towards the lobby, they stumbled upon the always beautiful CEO Kashiwagi Yuki.

“Good morning, Miss Kashiwagi.. You look beautiful as always..” Mayu bowed down in respect.

“Good morning, Miss Kashiwagi..” Rena bowed a little as well. She seemed disgusted with Mayu’s sudden change of attitude.

“Thank you for your compliments, Mayu..” Yuki smiled back at her and continued making her way to her office.

“Ah, M-Miss Kashiwagi!” Mayu called out again.

Yuki turned around. “Yes?”

“A-Are you free this this Saturday?” Mayu voiced out.

“You’re not asking her out on a date, are you?” Rena whispered into Mayu’s ears.

“Shut up, Rena.” Mayu whispered back.

As predicted by Rena, Yuki asked the same question. “Are you asking me out on a date?”

Mayu blushed so badly from Yuki’s one word. “D-D-D-Date? Err............. Y-Y-Y-Yes.. A date..”

“I would love to..” Yuki answered, causing Mayu’s face to bleam in happiness. It didn’t last long as Yuki continued her statement. “But unfortunately I will not be free this Saturday. I have a date with Jurina on Saturday.”

Mayu lost her smile in an instant. “A date with Jurina? O-Oh... It’s ok.. I mean...definitely Miss Matsui is more important than me, right... Ha Ha Ha...” Mayu let out a fake laughter.

“I’m sorry..” Yuki seemed a little guilty for turning Mayu down though.

“Please don’t apologize, Miss Kashiwagi... It’s alright. I understand.” Mayu couldn’t hide her disappointment at all.

Yuki gave it some thought before smiling back at Mayu. “How does Sunday sound?”

“PERFECT!!” Mayu got excited.

“Cool.. So, Sunday 10am at AKB Park..” Yuki confirmed.

“Yes!!” Mayu cheered loudly as if she just scored a goal in a football match.

Yuki giggled a little at Mayu’s action and continued her way back to her office.

“Wow congratulations, Mayu.. You’re finally going on a date with Miss Kashiwagi..” Rena patted Mayu’s back.

Mayu squinted her eyes as she thought about something. “I’m still bothered by the fact that she is going out on a date with that Jurina..”

Rena placed her arm over Mayu’s shoulder. “Just let it go, Mayu.. Be happy that you even have the chance to go on a date with the CEO.”

They finally made their way to the reception and took their respective seats. “Fine. Forget about that.. What about you? What are you going to do about your case with Jurina?”

“Today I learnt a valuable lesson from Mariko..” Rena looked at Mayu with a bright expression.

“Yeah? Do enlighten me..”

“When there is someone or something who is trying to prevent you from reaching your goal in life, you have to keep on going and going until you overcome that obstacle. Life is bound to have obstacles, Mayu. It’s like a wall in your path. We will always have three choices. First, to do nothing and let the obstacle forever hinder you from getting to your destination. Second, we could use a detour and avoid that obstacle, but it is the same as running away from your problems. What is the meaning of life when there are no obstacles? Or third, I could break down that wall that is blocking my path and continue achieving my dreams. This way, I can be stronger and more experienced.. Jurina now thinks that I am not capable of bringing her the $1000 in four days time. So, I must find the $1000 and pay her back so that she would change her impression me. I want to prove to her that I am capable of solving this problem.”

“That’s freaking deep, Rena. So unlike you... I have to praise you a little..” Mayu applauded softly.

“But I still can’t believe we were be able to meet up with so many amazing people while working here.. It feels like I’m dreaming.”

“Dream?” Mayu proceeded to pinch Rena’s face as hard as she could. Rena’s cheek was stretched by a few centimeters before Mayu finally let go of it and snapped it back onto Rena’s face. There was a red patch on her face. “Still think you’re dreaming?”

“OUCH!!” Rena covered her cheek and glared back at Mayu. “You used that as an excuse to pinch my cheek?”

“Hey, you’re the one who said that you’re dreaming. So don’t blame me for attempting to bring you back to Earth.” Mayu shrugged.

“Someday I am going to have my revenge on you, Mayu..”

“Bring it on, girl.. I can play this revenge forever with you.” Mayu leaned back on her seat and shot a look of confidence at Rena.

At that time, a short lady entered and walked towards the reception table. Mayu and Rena stopped arguing right away. The lady had short hair and she was wearing a brown, long coat. Her hands were tucked into her pocket.

As usual, Rena greeted her guest with a bright smile. “Yes, how may I help you?”

The lady passed them a card and introduced herself. “My name is Takahashi Minami. I know this may seem random but did Maeda Atsuko by any chance drop by this hotel?”

“M-M-Maeda Atsuko?? The super star Maeda Atsuko? Errr..........” Rena was a little surprised as she stuttered a little from the lady’s sudden question.

“Who wants to know?” Mayu quickly backed Rena up.

“I’m the official photographer for Maeda Atsuko and also a friend.” Minami answered.

“Sorry but she isn’t here..” Rena answered.

Minami reached for her cellphone and clicked on the ‘1’ button to speed-dial a number. She stood there for a few seconds with her phone placed on her ear. “Come on, Atsuko.. Pick up.....”

From here on, Mayu and Rena already knew that this short lady right here is very close with Atsuko since she was number 1 on the speed dial list.

Mayu suddenly remembered something. “Hey Rena, do you think this lady was the one who called Atsuko this morning?”

Hearing Mayu’s statement, Rena voiced out to Minami. “Excuse me. Sorry for asking this, but what is your relationship with Maeda Atsuko? Just a photographer and a friend?”

Minami rolled her eyes around and finally back to their direction. “Yea...”

Rena whispered into Mayu’s ear. “How suspicious....”

Mayu asked Minami. “Do you happen to be very close with Maeda Atsuko?”

“Yes, I am very close to her. She had been missing for three whole days. If you know where she is, please tell me.. I’ll do anything..” Minami begged.

“I have an idea... This could be a chance..” Rena was suddenly enlightened.

“What are you talking about, Rena?” Mayu was confused with Rena’s random statement.

“When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade, Mayu...” Rena grinned at Mayu before turning back to Minami. “How desperate are you to look for Maeda Atsuko?”

“Very...” Minami answered right away.

Rena gestured Minami to come closer and whispered into her ears. “What if I told you that Maeda Atsuko is here and we both are the only ones who know about it?”

Mayu nudged Rena’s shoulder and pulled her in for a whisper. “You traitor. We promised Atsuko that we will keep this a secret.”

“Mayu, you’re smart. So you should know what I am trying to do. This is the only chance I have.. It’s now or never.” Rena whispered.

“You’re trying to blackmail her? This is not the right way to get your money, Rena.. Blackmailing someone is a criminal offense!” Mayu whispered back.

“Don’t worry, Mayu... I got this..” Rena assured Mayu.

“I just want to confirm this. Do you REALLY know where Atsuko is?” Minami asked.

Rena gestured Minami to come closer once again and whispered into her ears. “She is definitely here, but she told me not to tell anyone about it.”

Minami reached for her purse, took out a pile of cash and placed them on the table directly in front of Rena’s face. Rena did not even get the chance to ask for the money as Minami already took out the pile of cash all by herself. Minami then voiced out to Rena. “I’ll pay you $5000 cash if you can bring me straight to her.”

“F-F-Five thousand!?” Rena was surprised.

“Holy crap, just how rich are the people here!?” Mayu couldn’t contain herself as well.

Rena pulled Mayu back in for another whisper. “You saw that? I didn’t even have to make a move. I didn’t blackmail her. She was the one who offered us the money by herself. Just take a look, Mayu.. It’s $5000.. That’s a lot of money...”

“Bring me to her and this $5000 will be yours.. I’m not playing around.” Minami seemed serious about her offer.

Rena turned her head towards Mayu and grinned. “Like I said, Mayu.. When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade..”

Mayu grinned back at Rena. “This has got to be the most expensive lemonade I have ever seen..”

So Takamina is a photographer, Acchan is an idol, MayuRena are receptionists and Mariko as a chef. When you have a really angry CEO, in this case Jurina, you have to have a freaking hot as hell CEO, in this case Yukirin :D

Great chapter as always...  :twothumbs

I love Mayu and Rena's relationship here..
Indeed a good friend never took each other insult seriously...  :lol:

Is Yuki attracted to Mayu already???
Because she agreed to go on a date with Mayu...
And obviously she's not really dating Jurina, because she just agree to go on a date with Mayu..

Ahhh... Rena get the money to pay Jurina easily..
But, will it backfire to her??
But, I wonder what's the problem between Atsuko and Takamina...
Lovers quarrel??
Maybe Atsuko confessed, but Takamina reject her because Atsuko is a celebrity?
Or they are dating already??
Atsuko seems mad at Takamina though..

Anyway, can't wait for the next chapter...

Once again, thank you for this chapter...  :grin:

Chapter 5



As Rena’s finger reached for the hotel room bell, she retracted her hand. “Somehow I feel a little guilty selling Atsuko out like this..”

“You don’t say.. You think you’re the only one who feels this way? Maybe we should just forget about the money..” Mayu pulled Rena back a little.

“Yea.. Somehow I felt like changing my mind.. It’s really unfair for her..”

*BEEEP*

Minami pressed the bell while they were still busy discussing. All they could do is blink their eyes at Minami’s action. It was already too late to stop her. Minami was smart enough to hide herself at the side after she pressed on the bell. Atsuko who heard the hotel room bell buzz, took a peek at the peephole. All she could see was Mayu and Rena standing outside her room. So, without thinking, she opened the door. As soon as Atsuko opened the door, Minami popped out from the side, shocking her.

“Atsuko! You’re really here!” Minami’s expression became brighter than the sun.

Atsuko immediately shot a glare at both Rena and Mayu. “You two sold me out!?”

“No no no no... We can explain actually..” Mayu tried to calm Atsuko down.

“It’s not their fault, Atsuko. I was the one who forced them to tell me..” Minami grabbed onto Atsuko’s shoulder. “Why did you run away, Atsuko? We talked about this..”

Acchan smacked Minami’s hand off her shoulder. “Please, Minami.. Just leave. I’m not going to repeat this twice.”

“Please come home, Atsuko. Or else, the news will soon spread and the media will report that you went missing. Things will get complicated.”

“....” Atsuko remained silent from Minami’s statement. Minami was right. Being a famous celebrity, running away from home or going missing will bring a huge impact to the music industry.

“Atsuko, please.. Think about it.. Everyone is worried about you.. All of us in the company decided to keep this news a secret so that it will not affect your job in the future.” Minami convinced nicely.

“Just give me few more days to think about it, ok?” Atsuko calmed down a little.

“Erm.. Atsuko.. Are you mad at us?” Rena guiltily asked.

“It’s not like being mad at you two will change anything now.. And I’m not the hot tempered kind of lady. I’m not mad, I’m just surprised.. Now that I think about it, I actually feel thankful that you brought Minami here.” Atsuko smiled at them. They felt completely relieved.

“I’m not going to force you to come home now. Just tell me when you’re ready to go home, ok? Just give me a call. I’ll be around.” Minami caressed Atsuko’s cheek.

Mayu and Rena did not say anything. They just looked blankly at each other as Atsuko smiled and nodded her head sweetly at Minami.

“Go get some rest now, Atsuko.. I’ll see you again soon.” Minami took a step back, allowing Atsuko to step back into her room and shot a sweet smile at Minami before closing the door.

The three ladies made their way back down to the front desk. Minami asked them. “Do you have any available rooms here? I would like to stay here till the day Atsuko decides to leave.”

“Sure. What kind of room would you like?” Rena asked.

“Any rooms will do. I don’t mind.” Minami answered.

“Just a moment.” Rena smiled back at Minami.

“What’s going on between you two?” Mayu asked Minami.

“Just some personal stuff and she’s been away for three days. I must bring her home by any means necessary.”

“By any means necessary?” Mayu shot a suspicious look at Minami before voicing out once again, “You do know that kidnapping is a criminal offense, right?”

“No! I would never do such thing to Minami. I will patently wait for her till she agrees to come home. Otherwise, I’m not going to leave.”

“Hmm... Seems like something really is going on between you two..”

“It’s personal, Mayu.”

“Well, secrets can also be shared with other people.”

“Then it’s not going to be a secret anymore, right?”

“You’ve got a point...” Mayu nodded. “But seriously, you both made me so curious about this matter. Come on, share it a little..”

“Why don’t you ask Atsuko to tell you about it? Well, that’s if she’s willing to tell you..” Minami giggled a little.

“Stop digging into other people’s personal life, Mayu. You’re no different than those aunt who gossips a lot.. And here’s your card, Minami. Enjoy your stay here.” Rena politely handed the hotel room card to Minami and smiled.

“Thank you..” As Minami was about to leave, Rena called her back.

“Ah, Minami... Before I forget, I should return this money back to you.” Rena took out the $5000 that Minami gave her.

Minami slowly reached her hand towards the pile of cash and softly pushed it back towards Rena’s chest.

“H-Huh?” Rena seemed surprised with Minami’s action.

“It’s alright. You hang on to it.” Minami smiled at Rena.

“B-But...”

“The money’s yours now as I promised. Keep it. I’ll see you two around.” Minami shot a wink at them before leaving the area and headed towards the hotel lift.

Rena gave a blank look at Mayu while still holding onto the $5000 on her hand. “Mayu, pinch me..”

“With pleasure!” Mayu did not even ask for the reason at all as she started pinching and stretching Rena’s cheek as hard as she could.

“Ouch!!!” Rena let out a little shriek in pain and placed her palm over her cheek. She should have known that Mayu will never hold back on her strength. What more, it was Rena who urged Mayu to pinch her cheek. “That hurts like hell, Mayu!”

“Good.. Shows that you’re not dreaming. The $5000 belongs to us now.” Mayu giggled a little at the red spot on Rena’s cheek.

“I see you had some fun pinching my cheek, huh? Let me pinch your cheek once.” Rena stood up from her seat and lunged her arms onto Mayu.

“Oi oi.. No way in hell! You’re the one who asked me to pinch your cheek yourself!” Mayu resisted with all her strength.

The table bell rang suddenly, alerting both the girls. As they looked front, they were shocked to see a pair of angry looking eyes staring right at them. “Having fun?”

“M-Miss Yokoyama..” They immediately sat back down on their respective seats.

“Playing in the hotel front desk gives a very bad impression for the hotel guests.. If I catch you both doing this one more time, you’ll receive your first warning letter. Are we clear?” Yui warned both of them.

Yuki appeared at the scene and placed her hand on Yui’s shoulder. “Now now, Yui.. Let’s give them some time to adapt, shall we? I’m quite sure they won’t play around like this again, right girls?” Yuki shifted her eyes towards them.

They nodded silently like two little girls being lectured by their mother.

“Try not to play around too much while you’re working, ok?” Yuki advised them with a smile on her face.

“We’re sorry, Miss Kashiwagi.. We’re not going to play anymore..” Rena and Mayu apologized. Both Yuki and Yui soon left the front desk leaving the two girls to continue their daily gossip.

Mayu gave it a thought. “I think something must be up between Minami and Atsuko..”

Without saying another word, Rena shot a loving expression at Mayu and caressed her cheek. She then spoke out in a loving tone. “Just tell me when you’re ready to go home, ok?”

Mayu retaliated immediately as she smacked Rena’s hand away and rubbed her face vigorously. “Eww... Stop it! What kind of demon possessed you!?”

Rena explained. “Do you get the situation now, Mayu? We’re best friends since childhood and also I’ve had enough friends to tell that Atsuko and Minami are not in a simple friend relationship. You feel disgusted from my action, right? No worries, I feel disgusted as well. You see? We have a limit for our closeness. In other words, Atsuko and Minami are definitely more than just best friends.”

“That’s just your assumption, Rena. I’m not going to jump into any conclusion based on only that..”

Rena stared at Mayu’s face blankly and playfully caressed her face once again.

Mayu smacked Rena’s hand away again. “Stop touching me, Rena! I swear to god I’ll bitch slap you back to Mars if you touch me again.” Mayu did the slapping gesture

Rena thought Mayu’s reaction was hysterical. She laughed at Mayu’s reaction before the sight of Jurina walking past the hotel front desk caught her attention. She called her out immediately. “Miss Matsui!”

Jurina heard Rena’s call and walked over to the hotel front desk. “Yes, Rena?”

“Here.. Your $1000.” Rena stood up and placed a $1000 cash on the table.

Jurina stared at Rena for a moment before taking the $1000 cash from Rena’s hand. “Thank you.”

“O-Oh, it’s alright Miss Matsui.. You don’t have to thank me for that. It was my mistake from the very beginning. I should be the one thanking you for giving me a chance to continue working here. I’m really grateful. For that, I thank you. And I am really sorry for any accidents or mishaps caused before this.” Rena bowed her head a little in respect.

Jurina seemed a little surprised with Rena’s action. She then voiced out. “Where did you get the money from?”

Rena shook her head a little. “It doesn’t matter where I got the money from. What matters is that I was able to pay you back. And don’t worry, these are clean money. Not obtained by means of criminal activities.”

“Alright. I believe you.” Jurina kept the cash in her pocket.

“So, are you still mad at me?” Rena asked in a guilty tone.

“I used to be.. But not anymore. To tell the truth, I never really thought that you would be able to pay me.”

“You were actually waiting to fire me from this job?”

“I’ve never actually planned to fire you. Sometimes, some people just needed a little push and you’ll be surprised with the outcome they will bring to you. Your case is an example. I may seem intimidating and fierce most of the time but I am not unreasonable. When you thanked and apologized to me just now, my impression of you changed a little. You may actually be a better person than I thought you were.”

“H-Huh?”

“Have a nice day, Matsui Rena.” Jurina flashed a quick smile at Rena before leaving.

Rena’s mind went blank for a few seconds. What was that facial expression Jurina showed to Rena a couple of seconds ago? Rena had never seen that expression from Jurina’s face before. That’s right. Jurina was smiling at her. Rena touched her face and it felt warmer than usual. Rena rolled her eyes over to Mayu to notice that she was squinting her eyes at her. While still having a suspicious look carved on her face, Mayu asked, “You need to put an ice pack on your face, Rena.”

Rena looked confused. “What are you talking about?”

“What am I talking about, you ask? Take a look at your own face, Rena.” Mayu took out her pocket mirror and showed it to Rena. Rena was shocked to find that her face was blushing in red.

“My gosh. What just happened..” Rena covered her face.

“Who looks like a baboon’s ass now?” Mayu said in a triumphant tone.

“Just shut up, Mayu..” Rena rolled her eyes.

“That Jurina has some warmth in her after all..” Mayu let out a giggle.



The next day (AKB Mall)

“I needed some sleep, Mayu.. Can’t you just grab some nice clothing from your closet instead of coming out so early in the morning to buy a new one? You have like thousands of them..” Rena yawned.

“I have a date with Miss Kashiwagi tomorrow, Rena. I must get new clothes.”

“Yea, but at 10am?” Rena yawned once again.

“I needed more time to choose what I like. I can’t screw this up.” Mayu explained with a loud voice.

“Sure sure. Suit yourself..” Rena admited defeat.

“Hey.. Which one do you think is better? This one? Or this one?” Mayu lifted a blue dress on her right hand and a pink dress on her left.

“Hmm...” Rena gave it a little thought before answering. “Pink was never your colour. The blue one is better.”

“Cool... The pink one then..” Mayu placed the blue dress back in its rack.

“Oi, what’s the point of asking me for recommendations and yet you don’t take it into consideration?” Rena looked a little annoyed.

“It’s a free country. So I have to right to oppose you and pick what I want.”

“Jeez.. Then don’t ask for my recommendation.”

“Oooo..... Look at these shoes...” Mayu rushed towards the shoe section and held up two pairs of shoes. “Hey Rena.. Which one should I get? The high heels or the flats?”

“The high heels, of course. You’re going on a date. Dress to impress.”

“Eh..... But I feel uncomfortable wearing high heels. Meh.. I’ll just get the flats.” Mayu placed the high heels back on its rack.

Rena closed her eyes and sighed loudly. “The next time you ask me for recommendations, I’m just going to keep my mouth shut.”

Mayu simply ignored Rena’s statement and made her way to the counter. After glancing through Mayu’s pink dress for another time, Rena voiced out. “You’re really choosing pink? Like, really?”

“I don’t see the problem with pink dress. It’s cute.” Mayu took out some cash from her purse and paid for them.

“You actually think you look cute in pink?” Rena raised both her eyebrows.

“I don’t need pink to look cute, Rena. I’m cute no matter what I wear..” Mayu shot a cute and sweet smile at Rena. For normal people, they would have fallen for her sweet smile. Somehow Rena is completely immune to it. In fact, Rena feels disgusted looking at Mayu acting cute in front of her.

“I think I’m going to puke. Ugh-” Rena acted as if she really was going to puke. Her body was bend over.

“Oh shut up, Rena. You’re just jealous because you’re not as cute as me.”

Rena held her hands up. “Oho.. Don’t you worry about that, Mayu.. I’m proud not being cute.”

Mayu didn’t seem to pay attention to Rena’s statement as she was looking outside of the store. She looked a little disturbed. Feeling a little concerned about her friend’s behaviour, Rena asked Mayu. “You don’t look well.. What’s wrong?”

“Isn’t that Miss Kashiwagi and Miss Matsui over there?” Mayu pointed at two ladies standing just opposite the store they were in.

“Huh? Where?” Rena looked at that direction as well. “Oh my gosh, it’s really them. Let’s go say hi.”

“No!” Mayu pulled Rena back.

“Why not!?” Rena asked, being confused with Mayu’s action.

“Let’s stalk them..” Mayu hid behind an aisle in the store and peeped at them.

“Stop doing that, Mayu.. You look like a creep.”

“I have to know what they’re up to..”

Rena noticed some people were looking at them. “Stop it, Mayu.. There are people looking at us. You’re embarrassing.”

“That Jurina... Trying to court Miss Kashiwagi..” Mayu glared at the couple standing by the ice cream store.

“Achoo!” Jurina sneezed out. “Somebody must be talking behind my back.”

“You’re being too superstitious, Jurina. You just got a cold, that’s all.” Yuki took out a tissue and passed it to Jurina. “Here, blow your nose.”

And Jurina did blow her nose into the tissue. “You know, Yuki.. Sometimes I just think you’re like my mom.”

Yuki didn’t seem to like Jurina’s statement as she squinted her eyes at Jurina. “You’re not trying to say that I’m old, are you?”

“Pffttt.... You? Old? Do you even age? Even if you wear a school uniform right now and go to school, people would actually believe that you’re a student. You’re not old. What I’m trying to say is that you care for me as much as my mom does.”

Yuki rolled her eyes and smiled a little. “Stop flattering me so much, Jurina..”

At this time, Jurina placed an arm over Yuki’s shoulder. “What’s wrong? You don’t like my flattering?”

“Just keep quiet and eat your ice cream, Jurina.” Yuki took Jurina’s ice cream and placed it into her mouth.

“You too, Yuki.” Jurina placed Yuki’s ice cream into her mouth as well. They seemed happy with each other’s silliness.

“What are they doing!? Why are they feeding each other!?” Mayu tightened her fists. Apparently one of Mayu’s hand was on Rena’s shoulder, causing her to crumple Rena’s shirt along.

“Emm.. You’re crumpling my shirt, Mayu.. Let go.” Rena slowly removed Mayu’s hand off her. “You wanna know why they’re feeding each other? They’re dating. The end. Now let’s go home.”

“They could be normal friends.. It’s still a possibility, ok?”

“And I’m telling you they’re not. Just like Minami and Atsuko.”

“Why would Miss Kashiwagi agree to date me if she’s already dating someone else? Hmm? Tell me.”

“I don’t know..” Rena shrugged her shoulders. “Sympathy?”

“Deal with it, Miss Kashiwagi and Miss Matsui are not dating. They are just two friends hanging out together.”

Rena rushed Mayu once again. “Whatever, alright? Let’s just leave them alone and go home. Our shift starts in an hour time.”

“But I have yet to finish stalking them..” Mayu continued peeping out of the store like a burglar.

Rena dragged Mayu away from the scene. “Forget about them, Mayu. You’’re going on a date with Miss Kashiwagi anyway. It’s time to leave.. We’re really going to be late.”



Later that evening (AKB Hotel Front Desk)

“Gosh, I just can’t wait for today to pass.. I can’t believe I really am going on a date with Miss Kashiwagi..”

“Something still bothers me a lot.. Why were they so close to each other.. They’re definitely not dating one another.. If they were, Miss Kashiwagi would never have agreed to go on a date with me..” Mayu squeezed her brain.

“Who knows? Maybe she’s a two timer?” Rena laughed out loud.

“Rena, if you say that about Miss Kashiwagi again, I will chop your head off..” Mayu warned.

“Would you like me to bring you a cleaver?” Rena sarcastically answered.

“HA HA HA! Not very funny, Rena.. Don’t be jealous because I have a date and you don’t.”

“I’m not eager to find a date after all.. So I’m all cool..” Rena shrugged.

Suddenly, a figure of a girl walking in the hotel entrance caught her attention immediately. “Holy crap, Rena.. Look who’s here.” Mayu nudged Rena’s arm.

Noticing the entrance, Rena saw a girl with a fur coat and leather pants, wearing sunglasses. She looked fabulous like a model. A man in suit was walking behind her, presumably, her bodyguard. “Yea, who’s that?”

Mayu smacked herself on her head. “Who is that!? That’s the president’s daughter, Rena...”

“Wow, she has really good fashion sense. She looks like a model.” Rena seemed impressed.

“She IS a model, Rena. Don’t you read fashion magazines? Itano Tomomi a.k.a Tomochin, modeled for a lot of cosmetic and fashion design products. Number one in fashion. Number one in being a complete spoiled brat as well.. Just look at the way she walks.” Mayu secretly pointed at the girl walking towards the reception.

“Spoiled brat? Oh come on, Mayu. Don’t be like that. I’m sure she is not that bad.” Rena didn’t want to judge the book by its cover.

“Oh yeah? If that’s what you think, good luck to you then. You better hold your anger in well. Or else, if she complains to her dad about this, things will get political.. We don’t want that, alright? Brace yourself, here she comes.” Mayu gave Rena a last nudge before the girl stood in front of the front desk.

Rena shot a sweet smile at the girl standing by the front desk. “Good evening, ma’am. How may I...”

“Itano Tomomi, daughter of the Japan’s president. Find me a suite now.” She wasn’t even looking at Rena. She was playing with her nails when she introduced herself.

“Erm.. Okay... Let me take a look.” After looking at the screen for a moment, Rena replied with a smile. “I’m sorry, Miss Itano. All the suites were occupied.”

Tomochin seemed annoyed. “What kind of hotel is this? I demanded for a suite and you dare tell me that they’re all occupied? Do you know who am I? I could sue you right here, right now.”

“Wow wow wow...” Rena was shocked from Tomochin’s last sentence. “Calm down, ma’am.. There’s no need for suing. You have to understand, there are no available suites left. How about a Duplex Room? It’s just as big as the-”

Tomochin did not allow Rena to finish her sentence and pointed at her face. “I don’t care what a Duplex Room is. I want a suite and it is your job to find me one. If you can’t then just chase someone out. Simple.”

Mayu helped out. “No offense, ma’am.. We can’t chase the other guests away just because you want it. It is unfair for the others.”

“Where’s your CEO! I want to meet your CEO now!” Tomochin slammed her fist on the table and demanded. Even her bodyguard tried to calm her down.

“Ma’am.. Let’s not make things more complicated then it already is.” Rena tried to calm Tomochin down but it didn’t seem to work.

“You’re the ones making things complicated for me. I demand to see the CEO!” Tomochin stomped her foot and insisted.

Mayu immediately made an emergency call for Yuki using the hotel front desk telephone. Moments later, Yuki arrived at the scene. “What seems to be the problem here?”

Mayu answered in a sarcastic tone, “Miss President’s daughter right here demands for a suite when they are none left.”

“Ah, Miss Itano. It’s been some time.” Even Yuki bowed her head a little in respect. “When was the last time we’ve met? Like four years ago? You’ve grown a lot since then.” Yuki smiled sweetly at her.

“There’s no need for introduction now, Yuki. I want a suite. Get me one.” Tomochin shot an annoyed glare at Rena and Mayu before voicing out. “You should fire these two incapable workers of yours, Yuki..”

Rena and Mayu merely looked at each other. Both of them were thinking of the same thing. “What the hell is wrong with her.”

Yuki replied Tomochin with a smile. “Forgive us, Miss Itano, but the suites are really fully occupied. How about a duplex room? Would you like that?”

“Duplex room again? What’s that? Is it big?”

“No worries, Miss Itano. I assure you the Duplex Room is just as big as the suite. It’s a room that has been spread on two floors, connected by an internal staircase. Think of it as a mini bungalow. How does that sound?” Yuki suggested the Duplex Room once again.

“Hmm... Ok then. I’ll take that.” Tomochin nodded her head before glancing over to Rena. “You should have suggested that to me earlier.”

Rena looked at Tomochin blankly and smiled back. “That was what I suggested earlier, ma’am.”

“Ah, whatever. Just get the room ready for me now.” Tomochin brushed Rena off immediately.

“How long would you like to stay here for?” Rena asked with a smile.

“One week.” Tomochin played with her nails again.

“Here, your hotel room card, Miss Itano. I chose the unit with the best sea view for you. Enjoy your stay.” Rena smiled and passed the card key to Tomochin.

“Antonio, take the card.” Tomochin instructed the man standing behind her.

“Yes, my lady.” The man politely took the card key from Rena’s hand and passed it to Tomochin.

She then reached for her pink fluffy purse and took out a $50 bill and slammed it on the front desk. “Here, your tip.. Antonio, lets go.” Tomochin and her bodyguard proceeded to the lift without another word.

Right after her figure was out of the picture, Rena cursed immediately. “My gosh, what a bitch.”

Yuki voiced out. “Rena, watch your language.. She’s the President’s daughter whether you like it or not. We can’t let her hear these words about her. And you did quite a good job. You held in your anger pretty well. Keep it up.”

“Thank you for your compliments, Miss Kashiwagi.” Rena scratched her head.

Rena squinted her eyes at Rena for a moment before smiling brightly at Yuki. “What about me? Did I do well?”

“You? Hmm.. I don’t know about that yet.. I’ll have to wait for tomorrow to find out.” Yuki smiled.

Understanding Yuki’s reference, Mayu blushed a little and nodded. “I won’t forget it. Tomorrow 10am at AKB Park.”

“Don’t be late tomorrow, Mayu. I don’t like to wait..”

“You don’t have to worry about that, Miss Kashiwagi. I will not arrive late.”

“Good then. If there are no more problems then I’ll be heading back to my office now. See you guys..” Yuki made her way back to her office.

“Lucky you, Mayu.. You can finally go on a date with the woman of your dreams.” Rena nudged Mayu’s arm.

“Yea.. I know. What about you then? When are you going to start dating?”

“So far, I have not met anyone that interest me yet. Maybe in the near future..”

“Are you sure about that?” Mayu doubted Rena’s statement. “What about Miss Matsui?”

Rena immediately pointed at Mayu’s face. “Don’t even start, Mayu. Just get out of my head, ok?”

Mayu then pulled her chair closer to Rena and looked right into her eyes. “So tell me, why did you blush when you were talking with Miss Matsui yesterday? Was it because of her smile? Or was it because you think that she’s actually nice?”

“You’re hallucinating, Mayu. I didn’t blush.”

Mayu shook her head. “Well your face sure did not agree to that, since you looked like a baboon’s ass that time.”

“Well... Actually I don’t even know what happened.. I just had this warm, fuzzy feeling that time when she smiled at me. That’s all.” Rena finally explained.

“You’re in love!!” Mayu clapped her hands.

“I’d say love is a pretty strong word to describe this. I rather it be called ‘change of impression’. Get it? I just don’t think that she’s as bad as I thought before.. That’s all.”

“Yea, keep telling yourself that. All relationships start with a ‘change of impression’.” Mayu did the finger quote gesture.

Rena let out a long sigh. “I have a suggestion.. How about you take care of your own dating issues and I’ll take care of my own dating issues? How’s that sound? Stop messing with my head, alright? My gosh you’re like a little devil trying to manipulate my brain.”

“Me being able to manipulate other people shows that I have a healthy brain. So I’ll take your statement as a compliment.” Mayu winked at Rena.

“Oh, sure.. Whatever you say, spawn of satan.. If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to the washroom.... And don’t follow me.”

“Why not?”

“Stomachache.” Rena shot a wink back at Mayu.

Wearing a disgusted expression, Mayu shook her head. “You’re gross...”

I have to agree with Rena on this one, Minami and Atsuko are definitely a bit more intimately familiar than best friends... I wonder... does Atsuko's running away have to do with that... :dunno:
Minami is too nice, I'm glad Rena got to pay Jurina back though (and we got to see another side to Jurina). :shy2: 
Something's definitely up with Yuki and Jurina, but I don't know if it's because they're dating or close friends (who are possibly expected to marry each other?). :on drink:
The second I read fur coat, I had a gut feeling it was Tomochin. I wonder what her story will be in all this...  :hee:
Can't wait to see how Mayu's date goes! :nya:
Wait- What's Rena- :grr:

CHAPTER 6


*YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWN*

Rena stood in front of the bathroom mirror, still half asleep when she heard a scream from Mayu’s room. Despite hearing Mayu’s scream, Rena did not rush to Mayu’s room immediately but instead she took her time and slowly walked. She even made sure that her toothbrush was in her mouth before making her way to Mayu’s room. Upon reaching Mayu’s room, Rena opened the door to find that Mayu was running all around the room as if something possessed her. Rena did not react, or rather Rena’s brain was still too fuzzy to react to anything. She merely just stood by Mayu’s door in her pajamas, entertaining herself with Mayu letting herself go while brushing her teeth calmly.

Noticing Rena standing by her door, Mayu rushed towards her and grabbed her on her shoulders. “Rena, what should I do!? I’m late for the date!! It’s already 9.45!! I promised Miss Yuki that I’ll be there before 10!”

Rena yawned once again and looked at Mayu blankly. Mayu, who was hoping for Rena to give her some ideas stood there, looked back at her as well. “Well?”

“Serves you right.” Rena mercilessly continued brushing her teeth.

“Really? You’re not going to help me think of something?”

“I have nothing to do with your date. Don’t pull me along, alright?” Rena continued brushing her teeth.

“Ah! I’ve got it!” A lightbulb suddenly lit up in Mayu’s head as she glanced over at Rena’s direction.

“What?”

45 minutes later... (10.30am)

Mayu and Rena finally reached AKB Park. Rena blinked her eyes a few times. “Why am I even here...”

Mayu patted Rena’s back. “Thank you for coming along, Rena. You really are my best friend..”

“You dragged me along, you little rat!!” Rena shouted at Mayu’s ear.

“Oh, look. There she is!” Mayu ignored Rena’s scream as she saw Yuki leaning by a nearby lamp post. She quickly made her way towards Yuki.

“You’re late by half an hour, Mayu.” Yuki didn’t seem too fond about it.

“I’m really really sorry about it, Miss Kashiwagi.. Rena here can explain everything.” Mayu pulled Rena up front.

“W-Wha-?????????” Rena was caught off guard as she was pushed front by Mayu. Rena bit the bottom of her lips to contain her anger and glared back at Mayu.

Mayu immediately whispered into the angry Rena’s ears. “I’ll buy you lunch, alright? Please help me this once.. Please please please....”

“Fine! You owe me 20 melon pans..” Rena whispered back.

“Sure sure... I’ll buy you 48 melon pans, ok? Thank you thank you! You’re the best!” Mayu literally felt grateful for Rena.

Rena cleared her throat and looked at Yuki. “It’s actually like this, Miss Kashiwagi.. There..”

Yuki voiced out before Rena could continue. “It’s Yuki. Not Miss Kashiwagi.”

“Oh.. Ok.. Y-Yuki... Actually there was a car accident.”

“A car accident?” Yuki looked surprised.

Mayu joined in the story-telling. “Y-Yea.. A HUGE accident.. There were at least 5 cars involved in it. There was like blood all over the the windows.. The car got crushed like a pancake.”

“Yup.. Massive traffic jam everywhere.”

“But there was no traffic jam when I came.” Yuki explained.

“O-Oh.. the accident must have happened right after you passed that road.” Rena laughed fakely.

“Hmm...” Yuki was still doubting them.

Mayu knew that this lie would not keep up forever if it goes on like this. SO, Mayu thought of a way to distract Yuki away from this topic once and for all. “Oh, look.. Ice cream! Let’s go, Yuki.. I’ll buy you one!”

Strangely, the word ice cream was able to distract Yuki away easier than Mayu thought it would. “Ice cream!? Oh, I love ice cream.. Let’s go!”

“Phew.. At least we got away.. I feel like getting myself an ice cream as well.” Rena looked excited as well.

As Rena made her way towards the ice cream store, Mayu stopped Rena. “Oh, what did you say, Rena!? You need to go somewhere else!?”

“Huh? I said I wanted ice cream..” Rena looked confused.

“Oh, that’s too bad because you have to go somewhere else, huh!?” Mayu started pushing Rena further and further away from the scene.

“What?? I’m not going anywhere! I want some ice cream! Where are you pushing me to?” Rena raised her voice.

“It’s ok. You don’t have to worry about me, Rena.. I can settle it myself.. You can leave in peace now.. Ok? Ok.. Now bye!” Mayu finally shoved Rena away from the place and went back to Yuki.

“Oh? Where did Rena go?” Yuki was looking around for Rena.

“Rena? She had to go somewhere else.. I guess it’s just us..” Mayu smiled.

Rena stood by the corner feeling completely betrayed. “Damn that Mayu.. Used me as a cover and then shove me aside when I’m done!? Tch- I’ll just spy on them.. I’m curious about the date anyway..”

Rena rushed into the nearby shop and looked at them. Surprisingly, Mayu was the one who started the conversation. “Erm... Yuki? Why did you agree to go on a date with me?”

“Is there anything wrong with going in a date with you?”

“No no no... There’s nothing wrong. I’m just curious.”

Yuki shrugged. “To be honest, I don’t know as well. I just feel there’s something special about you..”

“So, I’m going to take that as a compliment.. Oh yeah.. Another thing.. I’m not sure if I should be asking this but are you like dating Miss Matsui?”

“Oh, Jurina?” Yuki didn’t reply to Mayu’s question for a short moment. “What do you think?”

“I don’t know.. The both of you seemed very close to one another.. So, you know.. I’m not the kind of girl who accepts disappointment easily..”

Yuki thought that the jealous Mayu was cute. “Don’t worry, Mayu.. I am single. Jurina is merely my best friend. It’s just that we’re like sisters.”

“Hah! I knew it! Rena was wrong about this!” Mayu whispered by herself.

“Did you say something?” Yuki asked.

“Oh, nothing...” Mayu shook her head.

“Hey, look.. That cafe sells the Caramel ice cream that I love! Should we go!?” Yuki looked like a kid everytime she sees ice cream. Mayu finds it really amusing. They went to the shop, of course.

“You really love ice cream a lot, do you?” Mayu smiled.

“I LOVE THEM!!” Yuki got excited suddenly.

“One scoop of Caramel Ice cream and one Ice Lemon Tea, please.” Yuki ordered her ice cream and got it on the spot.

“Here’s your Caramel Ice Cream, ma’am. We will send your drink to your table soon, miss. Please have a seat first.” The waiter smiled.

Both Mayu and Yuki sat down and started eating their ice cream. Mayu giggled a little at Yuki’s behaviour. She was so excited for the ice cream just like a little kid. After a few scoops, Mayu noticed a stain at the corner of Yuki’s mouth.

“Erm.. You got a little something over there..” Mayu pointed at the stain.

Yuki started touching all over her face to look for the stain when Mayu suddenly voiced out. “Wait.. Let me help you..”

Mayu reached for a tissue and wiped the stain off Yuki’s face. Their eyes suddenly met. Their faces were so close to one another. It was as if time slowed down at that time. Both of them looked like they were hypnotized by their own thoughts.

Yuki thought, “Wow... Look at those eyes.. They’re enchanting.. Why haven’t I noticed them before?”

Mayu on the other hand had a detailed thought, “Yuki looks so beautiful up close.. Those eyes... That nose.. Especially those kissable lips.. Does anyone like her really do exist or am I dreaming right now? Our faces are so close to each other. Should I kiss her right now? But she’ll think I’m a pervert. But what if she kiss me instead? How would I react? I think my heart is going to explode.” It seems like Mayu had a lot of thought running though her head right now.

“Excuse me, ma’am.. Your drinks..” The voice of the waiter snapped both of them back into the world of reality.

“O-Oh.. Thank you..” Yuki smiled.

Mayu was just staring at Yuki drinking as she rested her chin on her palm. Yuki’s dazzling beauty got Mayu stunned for quite awhile. Noticing this, Yuki smiled back sweetly at Mayu. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Oh, nothing.. It’s just that you’re really REALLY beautiful. That’s all..”

There was nothing else Yuki could do but to accept the compliment and giggle at Mayu. They spent a few hours just sitting at the cafe and talking about their own personal lives. Rena was forced to stand there at the corner for that long as well. Before they knew it, the sky was already dark.

“Oh my god, it’s already 9pm??? I didn’t realize we talked for this long.. I have to go now, Mayu.”

“What, now? Can’t we stay here a little longer?” Mayu showed her puppy eyes.

Yuki found Mayu’s puppy eyes quite cute. She giggled a little and smiled at Mayu. “I have an important meeting early in the morning tomorrow, Mayu.”

Mayu still didn’t seem too happy about it. “I see... No helping it then. Let me walk you to the taxi stand.”

“Sure..” They proceeded to make their way towards the taxi stand slowly. Rena followed them silently as well.

As they were walking close to each other, there were times where their arms brushed one another. Mayu wanted so much to hold Yuki’s hand right now. Guess Mayu couldn’t hold it anymore. As Mayu moved her hand closer to Yuki’s hand to grab it, Yuki lifted her arm and pointed at a shop selling ice cream. “Hey, that store sells the limited edition chocolate fudge ice cream.”

Mayu missed the best chance she could get to hold Yuki’s hand. “Damn!” was all Mayu could think of right now. Concealing her frustrated expression, Mayu smiled back at Yuki. “Do you want to try it?”

“Maybe another day.. I felt that I have eaten enough today.” Yuki replied before they continue making their way to the taxi stand. It didn’t take long for them to reach their destination.

“This is the last chance. I’m not going to let go of this chance to hold her hand now.” Mayu slowly moved her hand closer and closer to Yuki’s again.

Yuki suddenly voiced out. “Mayu?”

“Hmm!?” Yuki’s sudden voice made Mayu retract her hands once again.

“I had a lot of fun today.” Yuki smiled at Mayu. That was the most beautiful and sincere smile Mayu had ever seen from Yuki. At that time, Mayu had a thought. She don’t have to hold Yuki’s hand right now. That can wait. For now, just by looking at Yuki’s smile is more than enough. A taxi arrived at that time.

“I had a lot of fun today as wel-” Before Mayu could finish her sentence, Yuki planted a kiss on Mayu’s cheek.

“Let’s go out again next time, Mayu.” Yuki shot a bright smile at Mayu before entering the taxi. Mayu was still stunned from Yuki’s kiss as she watch the taxi leave the scene.

“S-She kissed me...” Mayu placed her palm over her cheek that got kissed. “She really did kiss me..... YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Mayu started screaming in joy and kissing the air all by herself. She looked like a kid whom her parents finally agreed to go Disneyland after so long.

“Geez.. I can’t even watch this anymore..” Rena voiced out by herself. Of course Rena felt happy for Mayu as well.

A hand suddenly tapped on Rena from the back. She turned around to see a pair of eyes just a few centimeters away from her face. “What are you staring at, Rena?”

“Kya!” Rena let out a shriek and tumbled backwards before falling onto the ground. After rubbing her butt, then only she noticed that the pair of eyes belonged to Jurina. Rena almost couldn’t tell that she was actually Jurina because of the clothes she was wearing. She was wearing a grey hoodie with black slacks and Converse shoes. The usual Jurina known to Rena always wears a nice and formal clothing.

“It’s not nice to spy on people, Rena..” Jurina offered a hand and pulled Rena off the ground.

“M-Miss Matsui...”

“It’s Jurina right now. Not Miss Matsui. We’re not working now. Understood?”

“Y-Y-Yes..”

“Why’s your voice shaking?”

“I don’t know.. Despite dressing up with a grey hoodie and black slacks, somehow you still look intimidating to me.”

“Well forgive me if my looks scare you.”

“No no no... That’s not what I meant.. What I meant is..”

“I get what you mean, Rena. Are you free now? Let’s take our conversation to Starbucks, shall we?” Jurina pointed at the Starbucks Coffee shop just two lots away from where they are currently standing.

“Erm.. Sure.” Rena and Jurina proceeded to Starbucks and stepped up to the cashier.

“Let me buy you a drink..” Jurina voiced out.

“Oh, it’s alright.. I can buy my own drink, thank you.”

Jurina stopped Rena. “I insist..”

“W-Well... Okay then..” It’s not like Rena could argue with her CEO over such trifles.

“Hmm...” Jurina looked at Rena for a moment before voicing out again. “Hot Chocolate, I presume?”

“Oh? How did you know I love Hot Chocolate?” Rena was surprised that Jurina knew her favourite drink.

“You’re a really happy person. Always smiling and laughing when you’re working.. That could only be the work of chocolates.. That’s how I conclude that you love chocolates a lot.”

Rena can’t help but to smile at Jurina. She didn’t know that Jurina was taking notice of her everyday. Though Rena don’t know if it is a good thing that Jurina is always keeping an eye on her or not but that is not the point here. Jurina then proceeded to make their orders. “One Hot Chocolate and one Triple Espresso.”

“T-T-Triple espresso? Can anybody in the world drink that!?” Rena couldn’t hold in her surprise, causing her to voice her statement out loud. Those working there were glancing at Rena with a weird expression.

“Don’t be rude, Rena. Just because you don’t drink it, doesn’t mean nobody drinks it.”

“S-Sorry..” Rena tilted her head down.

“Stop apologizing to me, Rena. You make me look like a bully.” Jurina warned.

“S-Sorry, Jurina.. No... I mean yes. No, I don’t mean yes I am sorry. I meant no I don’t feel sorry. Argh.. I don’t even understand what I am saying..” Rena smacked her own forehead for her own stupidity.

Jurina smiled in amusement at Rena. “You’re kinda cute, aren’t you?”

Rena’s eyes opened wide in shock. So wide that they almost popped out of the sockets. “H-hmmm? Excuse me? Did you just call me..”

“Cute.” Jurina repeated the sentence once again. “I said you’re kinda cute, girl.”

Rena was stunned for awhile as she continued staring into Jurina’s eyes. She couldn’t believe she was called cute. Basically the only ones who had ever called her cute before was only her parents. Not even her childhood friend, Mayu called her cute before. But of course, it’s not like Mayu will ever call Rena cute.

Jurina suddenly looked back at Rena with a weird expression. “Are you sick, Rena? Your face is all red.”

“W-What? N-No, it’s not red!” Rena covered her face and looked away to hide her red cheeks.

Jurina giggled a little. “What a weird girl.”

At that time, their respective drinks were served and they went to their seats. Jurina started the conversation first. “So, what are you doing here, Rena?”

“Actually I came here to spy on Mayu to see if she’s doing well on her date until you came..”

“Hmm.. Strange. I was doing the same thing. I was also spying on Yuki in the same store until I saw you suspiciously moving around the store. Some coincidence, huh?” Jurina raised her cup of espresso.

“Yea.. I guess so.” Rena smiled and nodded.

Jurina then proceeded to take a few sips from her cup of Triple Expresso. For every single sip Jurina took, Rena squinted her eyes a little while showing an expression of disgust. Noticing Rena’s expression, Jurina placed her cup on the table.

“Why don’t you try some?” Jurina smiled and pushed her cup of espresso towards Rena, tempting her to drink it.

“I can’t. I can’t even handle a single espresso. How can I handle a triple espresso?”

“Come on. Try it.”

“It’s alright. I don’t want to..”

“Rena, drink it before I pour the whole cup into your mouth.” Jurina raised her cup.

Rena covered her mouth with both her hands while shaking her head vigorously.

“Last chance, Rena.. Take a sip or I’ll force you to..” Jurina placed the cup back on the table and pushed it towards Rena for one last time. Rena didn’t know what kind of expression was Jurina wearing. She was just poker-faced. One thing Rena knew was that Jurina was not joking about pouring the whole cup into her mouth.

“But I really don’t drink coffee..”

“Just a sip. You’re not going to die.” It seems like Jurina’s persuasive power is overpowering Rena.

“Alright then.. Just a sip..” Rena picked up the cup and slowly shifted it towards her lips. Rena’s face became completely distorted as she involuntarily voiced out in disgust.

“Gosh this tastes horrible! How the hell do you swallow that!?” Her voice literally attracted the attention of everyone in the shop.

Jurina started laughing hysterically. She laughed so much that she almost fell off her chair. That was when Rena took a peek at Jurina and thought to herself. Is this the same Matsui Jurina from AKB Hotel? She really is a completely different person compared to the CEO that Rena knew. What happened to the intimidating and strict CEO of AKB Hotel? It’s like Jurina was possessed by a small child.

“Erm.. Aren’t you laughing a little too much?” Rena looked at Jurina, still with a distorted face while the extreme taste of the Triple Espresso remain in her mouth.

Jurina was trying her best to stop laugh. “I’m sorry.. I- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!” Jurina started laughing all over again.

After staring at Jurina laughing her heart out for a few moments, Rena didn’t mind her laugh anymore. Besides, with Jurina acting this way, she seem more friendly and more approachable compared to the usual Miss Matsui from AKB Hotel. Rena ended up giggling herself while looking at Jurina’s laughter.

“Alright, alright.. Phew.....” Jurina let out a loud breath to contain her laughter for the last time. “I’m sorry, but your expression was priceless.. I couldn’t help but to laugh.”

“Yes, I get it. My face goes all distorted when I drink coffee.” Even Rena knows that she makes funny faces when drinking coffee.

“You’re really one of a kind, Rena.” Jurina smiled at Rena.

“So... One of a kind as in the weird kind of person?”

“No, I mean one of a kind in a good way. You’re the kind of person who can make others laugh just by expressing yourself. Just think of it as a compliment.”

“Erm... Thank you?” Rena wasn’t sure how to react to it.

“Oh, we’ve already been here for half an hour. Finish up your drink, Rena. It’s a little late right now. You should go home. I should go home too.” Jurina gulped down the Triple Expresso in one shot. Rena felt like choking just from the sight of Jurina drinking the whole cup in one shot.

“Time sure flies, huh?” Rena finished her cup of Hot Chocolate as well. They walked out of the shop and stood facing each other for a short while.

“Remember, don’t come late for work tomorrow. Alright?” Jurina smiled at Rena.

For a moment, Rena was hypnotized by Jurina’s smile. “O-Of course!” Rena replied with confidence.

“Good then..” Jurina ruffled Rena’s hair lightly.

Rena flinched a little from Jurina’s action. She felt a little weird that time. “What is this feeling? It feels....warm.”

“I’ll see you tomorrow then. Bye..” Jurina waved at Rena before turning back and made her way home.

“Bye....” Rena waved back at Jurina. She didn’t seem too happy about Jurina leaving. But, why is she feeling like this?

Rena sighed in disappointment “I wish we could talk longer..”

That was when Rena realized something. “Why do I wish to talk longer with her? Stop it, Matsui Rena! This is so unlike you!” She slapped herself across the face.

As soon as Rena reached home, all the lights were switched off. Before she knew it, she got blindfolded and pushed into her own room by force. Her room was dark. There was not a single source of light.

“Hey, what is this? Let me go!” Rena, who was blindfolded felt herself being forced to sit on a wooden chair. She removed the blindfold as soon as she sat down. The next thing Rena saw was a blazing light that shone right on her face from up close. This caused Rena to flinch herself back a little. She soon notice that it was a bright table lamp that shone on her face.

A girl then sat opposite Rena and rested both her hands on the table. She was wearing large and round glasses with a long coat that only those police inspectors would wear in the movies. “You’ve been found guilty, Matsui Rena.”

“Mayu, take that coat off. That’s mine. And those glasses too. You’re no detective.” Rena pointed at Mayu’s outfit.

“Silence, criminal! You have no right to speak here!” Mayu stretched her finger and pointed at Rena. Her finger was so close that it was almost poking Rena’s face. Rena had to tilt her head backwards a little.

“That’s too close.. And what is this story about me being a criminal?” Rena stood up from her seat.

“Why do you sound so nervous, Rena? Feeling guilty of something? Sit down.” Mayu leaned back on her chair calmly. Rena sat back down on the chair as Mayu told.

Mayu moved her head close to Rena and asked, “Where were you yesterday at 10.30am, Rena?”

“Lies! Lies upon lies upon lies upon deceit upon lies!!”

“That’s too many times!”

“Explain this.” Mayu placed a brown file on the table and pushed it towards Rena.

“Even a brown envelope? You’re really into this detective thing aren’t you?” Rena wanted to laugh at Mayu’s silliness.

“Stop questioning me, criminal! I’ll be the one asking the questions.”

Being curious about the content of the brown envelope, Rena decided to play along with Mayu and opened it. To her surprise, she saw a few pictures of herself and Jurina giggling and laughing in Starbucks Coffee. “Wha- When did you get this!?”

“Ohohohoho...... Think you’ll hide this forever? Not from me, Rena.. Not from me. Now explain. When did you get so close to Matsui Jurina?”

“You were supposed to be on a date! Not taking photos of me.”

“Answer the question, criminal!”

“Stop calling me a criminal! I’m innocent!”

“Innocent? INNOCENT!? That’s not what’s written on this picture, Rena. You wanna know what’s written on this picture? It’s ‘I am on a date with Matsui Jurina and I feel so happy.’. That’s what’s written on this picture.” Mayu hekd the picture close to Rena’s face.

“Alright, alright. Enough of your detective games. Switch on the light and I will tell you everything. Happy, Detective Mayu?”

Without a moment of hesitation, Mayu switched on the light and hopped back onto the chair.

“Gosh, Mayu. This is my room. You literally removed my books and shifted my whole study table to the middle of the room for this detective drama of yours!?”

“Not bad, huh? Just like those scene in the movies. Alright, tell me now.”

Rena pointed at the corner of the room. “Put the table back in the corner and place my books back into place. Then I’ll tell you.”

“Geez, you’re just like my mom..” Mayu stood at one side of the table and looked at Rena. “You’re not going to help me carry the table back?”

“No! You shifted the table away yourself! Now shift it back!” Rena scolded.

“Fine..” Mayu rolled her eyes and placed the table back in the corner of the room. “Ok. Done. Now explain yourself.”

“Before that, give those back to me! Those are mine. Who do you think you are? Conan?” Rena forced the coat and glasses off Mayu.

“I just wanted to feel like a detective for once.”

Rena and Mayu then sat on the chair and Rena started, “Alright, what do you want to know?”

“This!” Mayu showed Rena the picture again.

“Alright.... I was walking around and just so happen to meet up with her. So, she offered my a cup of Hot Chocolate and we talked. That’s all. There is nothing between us. Ok? Get it?”

“You’re lying!” Mayu shouted at Rena’s ear.

“You’re too loud! And I’m not lying!”

“Then admit it. That you have no feelings for her at all.”

For some strange reason, Rena hesitated for awhile. “I....I have no feelings for her, alright? Nothing! Happy?”

“Hmm.....” Mayu moved her face closer to Rena’s face and analyzed her expression. “Alright then. I’ll believe you....for now.”

“Geez..” Rena rolled her eyes. “What about you, huh? How’s it like losing the chance to hold Miss Kashiwagi’s hands, huh? It must be so awkward missing the chances, huh..” Rena said in an annoying and sarcastic tone.

“H-How did you.....” Mayu was surprised.

“Think you’re the only one who knows the art of spying? Too bad I know it too, Mayu. In your face! Now go back to your room and sleep. We have to work tomorrow.” Rena immediately hopped onto her bed.

“You spied on me!?” Mayu tossed a pillow at Rena.

“Ouch! That hurts!” Rena took the pillow and tossed it back at Mayu.

Mayu was swift enough to dodge the pillow. “Hah! Slow!”

As soon as Mayu finished her sentence, five pillows and a comforter landed on her face, causing her to tumble onto the ground.

“Pfft... Who’s the slow one now!?”

Enraged, Mayu picked up two pillows, one on each hand. Rena as well. “THIS MEANS WAR!!!!”

This started a whole new argument and chaos. At this rate, who knows what time they will sleep or what time they will wake up. I mean, that’s what best friends do, right? Play till late at night, then regret it the next morning.

Jurina is secretly noticing Rena's every movement? I swear she likes her, just that her pride doesn't allow her to realise it yet. Rena admires the bossy Matsui and will be easily swept off her feet if Jurina gives her more of her megawatt similes!

Gambatte to Mayu too since Yuki is sending all the positive signals. She's single and hot! Mayu please do your best!

CHAPTER 7


Rena groaned like an old man as the light shone directly on her face. As she regain conscious, she felt something heavy on top of her, snoring loudly. “Why....is...there..pig’s..sound..*YAWN*”

Rena rubbed her eyes to give her a clearer view of the object laying on top of her. It was Mayu. She was sleeping on top of Rena’s body while snoring like a pig. “Ugh- Get off me!”

Rena pushed Mayu off her body with all her strength, causing her to fly a few feet away. “Kya!!”

“You’re so heavy, Mayu.. Like a cow! Go sleep somewhere else, alright?” Rena hissed.

“Oh? So you kick me away, huh? Can’t you gently push me away, you uncivilized human!?”

“Pfft.. I believe ‘gently’ is not in my vocabulary.”

“It’s not in your vocaublary? How about I slap you with a dictionary right now? How does that sound?” Mayu was holding an imaginary book in her hand threatening to swing it at Rena.

“I’m not going to waste my time talking with you here. Im going to tae my shower.” Rena went into the toilet after that. After approximately half an hour, Rena came out from the toilet, and it was Mayu’s turn to take a shower.

Rena sat down on the bed, blowing her head and suddenly remembering back the scene from last night. She was smiling to herself the whole time till a certain memory popped back into her head.


“Remember, don’t come late for work tomorrow. Alright?” Jurina smiled at Rena.

For a moment, Rena was hypnotized by Jurina’s smile. “O-Of course!” Rena replied with confidence.

“Good then..” Jurina ruffled Rena’s hair lightly.

Rena flinched a little from Jurina’s action. She felt a little weird that time. “What is this feeling? It feels....warm.”



“Gosh, why am I remembering that scene...” Rena’s face became red in an instant upon remembering the scene. She then touched the top of her head where Jurina ruffled her hair and smiled on her own. “It’s warm..”

“Want warmer?” Mayu aimed the hair dryer directly at Rena’s face at full blast.

“Hey, that’s hot!!” Rena used her pillow to block against the hot air blast from Mayu.

“You’re being weird smiling all by yourself and saying things like ‘It’s warm’ randomly. So I thought I could bring you back to Earth by blowing some hot air on your face. Look at you. Your face is all red. Like a baboon’s ass.” Mayu mocked.

“My face is red because you blew hot air right at it!” Rena scolded Mayu back.

“I don’t think so.. I think it was something that happened yesterday that made you blush, isn’t it?” Mayu was right on.

Once again, the scene flashed through Rena’s head, causing her to blush for another time.

“Look at you! Look at you!! Baboon’s ass appeared once again! Gotcha you little liar.. Something really did happen yesterday, didn’t it? Come one.. Tell me..”

“It’s nothing. Stop asking, Mayu.”

“I’m not going to stop asking till you tell me what happened yesterday. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me...” Mayu continued spamming the words without stopping. It was as if she does not need to breathe at all.

Rena literally had to cover her ears from the annoyance. “STOP! STOP! I will tell you! My god, you’re annoying like hell!”

Mayu let out a satisfied smile and sat down. “Alright.. Entertain me.”

“She kinda...r-ruffled my hair..right here...” Rena was smiling with herself while touching the top of her head.

“That’s all? Tch- Feeling so high just from a single touch.. Second-rate human..”

“Just shut up and leave me alone, alright? And get dressed up quick. We’re going to be late for work.”



AKB Hotel Front Desk, 11:55am (Almost lunch time)

“It’s a quiet morning, isn’t it..” Mayu stretched her body and yawned.

“Yea.. Strange.” Rena nodded.

“Yea, strange.. But not as strange as your face, though.” Mayu giggled.

“What the hell is with that random insult, huh? You’re the one with the strange face!” Rena argued back.

“Pfft... Who was the one making weird faces while saying ‘It’s warm’ this morning, huh?” Mayu was literally imitating Rena’s action from this morning.

“Oh yeah? Who’s the one-” Rena was about to argue back with Mayu till a slam is heard on the front desk.

*SLAM*

The loud slam startled both Mayu and Rena as they stopped arguing and looked up at the person. “You know you both shouldn’t be playing around in the front desk, right? I know I’ve warned you two before.”

“W-We’re sorry, Jurina..” Rena blinked her eyes and smiled guiltily at her.

Jurina then shifted her eyes towards Rena. It looked completely different with the ones Rena saw last night. These eyes were cold, very cold. “There is no Jurina here, Rena. It’s Miss Matsui. Understood?” She did not blink her eyes at all. That made Jurina’s face scarier than it usually was. ‘Miss Matsui’ is completely different than ‘Jurina’. It’s like having double personalities, just like Jekyll and Hyde.

“S-Sorry, Miss Matsui..” Rena felt the intimidating aura from Jurina all over again.

“One more thing..” Jurina continued as she looked on at Rena.

“Y-Yea??”

“I was wondering if you’re free for lunch today. Yuki isn’t free for lunch today for some reason.”

*BA DUMP*

“Huh? L-Lunch?” Rena was stunned for a moment.

Noticing this, Mayu decided to play a little game that she suddenly thought about just one second ago. She clinged onto Rena’s arm and smiled back at Jurina. “Sorry, but I already booked Rena for lunch today..”

“I see... Well, that’s too bad then..” Jurina said.

“Nononononono wait! Wait! I am free.. So free..” Rena immediately voiced out.

“No you aren-” Mayu couldn’t finish her sentence as Rena covered Mayu’s mouth with her hand at that time.

“Yes, of course I would love to have lunch with you, Miss Matsui..” Rena smiled brightly.

Unsure of this, Jurina asked once again. “You sure? Your friend over here doesn’t seem to agree with this plan at all.”

“Of course she agrees.. Right, Mayu?” Rena smiles at Mayu.

“Mmmmmm mm mmmm mmmmm!!” Mayu’s words were completely muffled and indecipherable under Rena’s hand.

“See? She agrees to it.. So, I’ll meet you at the poolside in 5 minutes time?” Rena smiled sweetly at Jurina.

“Well, if you say so.. I’ll see you in 5 minutes then. And stop doing that to Mayu. You’re in the front desk. Alright?” Jurina then made her way back to her office.

Mayu cursed as soon as Rena let go of her hand. “What the hell, Rena? Why did you agree to meet up at the poolside!?”

“Huh? What’s wrong with the poolside?” Rena didn’t know why Mayu was overreacting.

“I agreed to meet up with Yuki for lunch at the poolside as well! You better make sure we don’t end up in the same restaurant and what more the same table, Rena. If you ruin this lunch date for me, I swear I will bitch slap you back to Mars.” Mayu then licked her lips and showed a disgusting expression at Rena. “Yuck! Your palms were sweating, you disgusting little monkey!”

“I was nervous, alright!” Rena declared.

“You’re not nervous, you’re in love.”

“No, I’m not! I was nervous!”

“In love!”

“Nervous!”

“In love!”

“You know what? Forget it. I’m wasting my breath talking to you. I’m going to meet Miss Matsui now.” Rena stood up.

“Alright, let’s go! Yuki must be waiting for me now.” Mayu stood up as well.

“It’s Miss Kashiwagi while you’re still working. Not Yuki.” Rena corrected Mayu.

“Pfft... It’s lunchtime. And don’t be jealous, Rena.. Just because your precious Miss Matsui doesn’t allow you to call her Jurina during working hours, you can’t pull me along. Don’t put myself on your level, alright? She allows me to call her Yuki.”

“Man, whatever...” Rena couldn’t win over Mayu’s argument. They then made their way to the elevator.

At that time, Minami walked over to them. “Hey, guys.. Did Atsuko drop by the lobby or something?”

“Atsuko? In the lobby? Why would she be doing in the lobby. She does not want to be seen.” Mayu answered.

“She’s not in her room. Not in the lobby as well. So I was wondering where she went.” Minami seemed worried that Atsuko had gone missing from her room.

“Have you checked the poolside?” Rena asked.

“Oh right! I have yet to check the poolside.” Minami, Rena and Mayu rushed into the elevator as soon as Minami thought of it.

They made their way to the poolside and they found no one but a person sitting on the chair nearby. That person was wearing a cap, a pair of sunglasses and a scarf around the neck that covered the mouth and nose as well.

“Yup, that’s definitely Atsuko.” Mayu almost laughed out loud.

Minami walked over to her slowly and tilted her head a little. “Atsuko?”

The girl looked up at Minami and answered in a muffled voice. “What are you doing here, Minami.. Just leave me alone.”

As soon as Minami heard the muffled voice, she giggled. “You look like a mummy like this.”

“Why won’t you just go away, Minami...”

“I am not going to go away, Atsuko. Not until you agree to go back with me. I’m going to sit down here with you.” Minami sat down on the chair beside Atsuko.

“Jeez.. Must you be everywhere I go!?”

“I’m here to protect you, Atsuko.”

“Why did you come and protect me? You should go protect HER. She has a huge crush on you after all.” Atsuko was frustrated, but it’s not like Minami could see Atsuko’s expressions right now.

As soon as Minami heard that, she smiled. Minami knew who Atsuko was talking about. “I see now.. You’re jealous of her. You couldn’t stand looking at her sticking at me like a glue. So you ran away, didn’t you?”

“NO! STOP ASKING!” Atsuko slammed herself back on the seat hard. Atsuko’s behaviour was way too obvious.

“Atsuko.. You should understand, I have no other choice.. She’s the President’s daughter after all.” Minami tried to explain.

At this time, Rena and Mayu looked at each other. “The President’s daughter?? Isn’t that..”

Mayu shut Rena up. “Shh-shh!! I want to listen more..”

“Oh, both of you are already here..” Jurina and Yuki reached the poolside as well. Without hesitation, Mayu pulled Yuki and Rena pulled Jurina to the corner and continue eavesdropping on their conversation.

“What’s going on??” Jurina was completely confused.

“Something interesting..” Rena answered.

“Aren’t we going for lunch now?” Yuki asked.

“Lunch can wait. I can sense it. Something epic is about to happen.” Mayu stated.

It seems like Atsuko did not want to hear any excuses from Minami. “Of course you don’t. President’s daughter... I get it. Now leave my sight. I realize the more I look at you, the angrier I become.”

“Atsuko, please listen to me.”

“Listen?” Atsuko looked at Minami and stood up, causing Minami to stand up as well. “Did you listen when I told you to stay away from Itano Tomomi? You didn’t. Fine, I don’t care about that. Then did you listen when I told you to come home to eat dinner that I personally prepared for you? You still didn’t. Instead, you went out for dinner with her. She’s the President’s daughter. I get it. You chose her, Minami. You chose her over me. Just who do you think I am, treating me like this? You used to care for me a lot, Minami.. But that girl shows up and you changed. I am really disappointed in you..”

“You don’t understand, Atsuko.. I did all that to-”

“Minami!? Is that you!?” A random girl’s voice called out to Minami.

Rena blinked her eyes at a girl wearing a pair of sunglasses and a nice dress walking towards Minami. “Oh, shit.. Is that....”

Mayu shook her head. “Ho... This is going to get really ugly...”

“Isn’t that President Itano’s daughter, Itano Tomomi??” Yuki and Jurina looked on at the extremely good fashioned lady.

“Tomochin.. What’re you doing here?” Minami wanted to curse herself so much for the bad timing. Why did she even come here in the first place?

Tomochin reached straight for Minami and gave her a hug. “I’m on a vacation, of course.. I missed you, Minami. I don’t believe you’re here as well.. This is destiny, isn’t it?”

Minami had no time to react to the hug as her arms were still floating in mid air. “Erm.. It’s good to see you too, Tomochin.”

Tomochin tilted her head to look at the weird looking Atsuko sitting on the chair. “So... Who’s this weird person over here?”

“She’s not a weird person, Tomochin. She’s my good friend.”

“Oh, it’s a she? Sorry I didn’t know. She was all covered up like a mummy.” Tomochin let out a laughter, mocking Atsuko. Good thing as a celebrity, Atsuko had a very high tolerance towards annoying mocks like this. She never loses her cool except for that one time, that one time which drove her away from everything and ended up here in AKB Hotel. Atsuko didn’t like Tomochin one slight bit. Being a celebrity, Atsuko had definitely met with the President of Japan before, what more her daughter. She knows very well what kind of girl she is. Being an incredibly tolerant person, there are still some things that Atsuko couldn’t hold in.

Minami was about to introduce them. “Emm... Tomochin, I would like you to meet my friend, -”

Atsuko stopped Minami. “There’s no need for introducing.”

Tomochin let out a laugh at Atsuko’s muffled voice. Atsuko was not disturbed by that at all. She then looked right at Minami’s eyes. “Moment of truth, Minami. This is the last chance I’m giving you. Come with me and I will follow you home right away. If you choose to stay here with her, I will wish you two the best of luck and walk away from here.”

“Atsuko...” Minami was about to reach for Atsuko’s hand when Tomochin clinged onto Minami’s arm.

“Where are you going, Minami? Who is she?” Tomochin tightened her grip on Minami’s arm.

That was when Minami let out a heavy breath and closed her eyes. “I....I can’t.. I’m sorry..” Minami’s face was full of regret when she was saying this.

Atsuko let out a really annoyed snicker and shook her head a little. “Wow, Minami... Just....wow.... I can’t even...” She then nodded her head and said in a soft tone. “I get it.. So, that’s it, huh? I get it.... Good luck to you two..”

Atsuko was about to turn around when Minami grabbed onto Atsuko’s arm. As soon as Minami grabbed Atsuko’s arm, she immediately turned around and released a tight slap on Minami’s face.

*SLAP*

“Oh my god!!” The four ladies standing at the corner were surprised from the scene. They covered their mouth in shock.

Tears could be seen rolling down Atsuko’s cheeks as she warned Minami of her action. “DON’T.YOU.EVER.TOUCH.ME.AGAIN.” Every single word coming out of Atsuko’s mouth was full of anger and sadness. She then dashed her way towards the elevator while wiping off her tears. Minami was too shocked to react to anything as she just looked on at Atsuko running away from the scene.

“What!? She doesn’t even want to chase after Atsuko!? That’s it! I can’t stand this anymore!” Mayu stood up and walked over to Minami. “You’re a bitch!” Mayu gave Minami a tight slap on her face before chasing after Atsuko.

*SLAP*

Rena walked over to Minami as well. “I didn’t know you were this low!” Rena slapped Minami as well.

*SLAP*

Minami’s guilty expression after that was devastating. Jurina walked over to Minami after that. Minami flinched a little as she was exoecting another slap, but instead, Jurina placed her hand on Minami’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, I am not going to slap you. I’m the CEO of this hotel, Matsui Jurina. I know you’re a hotel guest here. I’m not sure of the details nor should I be saying this, but my guts tell me that you really deserve that slap just now.”

“Let’s go, Jurina. We should go check on the lady as well.” Yuki called out to Jurina.

Jurina dusted Minami’s shoulder and patted her. “Enjoy your stay here, ma’am.”

Jurina and Yuki made their way as fast as possible and followed up with Rena and Mayu.

“What is wrong with those people here, Minami? You should sue them!” Tomochin did not seem happy one slight bit.

“Please don’t, Tomochin.. Not now.” Minami

“But they insulted and slapped you!”

“I said enough!” Minami shouted at Tomochin, causing her to flinch a little.

“........” Tomochin pouted her mouth like a little girl for a moment before voicing out. “That was Maeda Atsuko, wasn’t it??”

Minami did not answer. She merely looked on at Tomochin.

“I knew it... There’s no way you would shout at me for any reason... Only her...”

“That’s enough! I don’t want to talk about that! I’m not in the mood to talk now, Tomochin..” Minami sat herself back down on the chair.

Tomochini sat beside Minami and clinged onto her arm. “I’m sorry, Minami.. You know I’ll always be here for you, right?”

Minami did not know how to reply. She just remained silent and closed her eyes. She then looked at the elevator for a long time before standing up once again.

“Minami? Where are you going?” Tomochin asked.

“Somewhere...” Minami walked towards the elevator after that.



Outside Atsuko’s room


*BEEEEEEEEEEP*

“Hey, Atsuko are you in there?” Mayu knocked the door after that.

Yuki and Jurina looked at each other and blinked. “Atsuko?”

*BEEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEP*

“Atsuko, open up!!” Rena spammed the door bell.

*CLANGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!*

“That.....sounds like something just broke....” This made all four of them panic.

“OPEN THE DOOR, ATSUKO!!!!” Mayu shouted and banged the door.

“There’s no use shouting and banging the door! Move!” Jurina pushed Rena and Mayu away and took out her Master Card Key. She swiped it at the door lock and it beeped green.

As soon as Jurina pushed open the door, Atsuko was seen kneeling on the ground with her fingers in the left arm bleeding while her right arm holding a piece of broken glass.

“NO! STOP!!!!!!!!” Mayu literally flew across the room towards Atsuko and snatched the broken glass away from Atsuko.

“Yuki... It’s really Maeda Atsuko....” Jurina told. Yuki nodded her head.

Rena and Jurina helped Atsuko up and sat her on the bed while Yuki called for some help. Atsuko blinked her eyes blankly at them.

“I know there are things that you’re not satisfied with life, Atsuko... But you can’t solve your problems by........taking your own life.” Mayu explained.

“What?? Wait wait wait...... You thought I was trying to take my own life? Of course not! I was just making some coffee and the glass fell. Look.. It’s a mess..” Atsuko pointed at the floor full of glass pieces and coffee powder everywhere.

“The cut on your fingers....” Rena pointed at Atsuko’s fingers.

“I got the cut when I was trying to clean the glasses. I am not that stupid to take my own life just because of some little argument with Minami. The thought of suiciding is childish. And I’m a grown woman. I know the taking my own life will never solve anything. Alright? Believe me now?” Atsuko described.

“Then why didn’t you hear us knocking and spamming the door bell!? You made us worry sick!” Mayu voiced out.

“Oh, you did? Sorry I didn’t hear that. My headphone volume was turned to maximum. I do that everytime I’m stressed out about something. Full blast music and coffee always does it.” Atsuko explained.

Now only did they realize that Atsuko was wearing headphones.

“Oh...... So, you’re fine with what just happened?”

“I didn’t say I was fine... I’m feeling devastated right now.” Atsuko answered with a sad face. At the same time, Rena was bandaging her hand.

Jurina voiced out to Atsuko. “You know what you need, ma’am? A holiday..”

“But I am on a holiday right now...” Atsuko shrugged.

“No.. Not a holiday from your job. A holiday for your mind... A holiday to let your mind run free just once. Do things you have never done before.. It’s good to have these kind of holidays once in a while. To release all of your stresses.” Jurina explained.

“Oh? Where can I get a holiday like that?” Atsuko was interested in joining.

“Yuki and I are going to Hawaii next week for a business meeting and also to ‘let ourselves go’. I guess you could join us in that trip.. You know.. To ease your mind..” Jurina suggested.

“Sounds fun. But can I really join?” Atsuko smiled brightly.

“The famous Maeda Atsuko joining us for a vacation, are you kidding me?? Can we even say no to that?” Yuki giggled.

“Can’t we join as well?” Mayu pouted.

“Yeah! I’ve always wanted to go Hawaii...” Rena got excited.

“No! You have to work.” Jurina raised her voice.

Mayu’s face at that time was like a cute and sad puppy as she looked at Yuki. This made Yuki’s heart melt right away. Yuki sighed and clinged onto Jurina’s arm. “Maybe they can come along too, Jurina? Don’t you think so?”

“Give me one good reason why they should come. They have a job to do here in AKB Hotel. They have no business in Hawaii. A no is a no!” Jurina was solid on her statement. It seems like they have to put in a lot more effort to convince Jurina to let them come along.

“Assistants... They could be our assistants during the trip, Jurina.” Yuki continued to convince Jurina

Jurina shook her head. “Don’t you think of more ideas, Yuki. We don’t need assistants there. We’re good all by ourselves.”

Yuki then whispered into Jurina’s ear. “Think about it, Jurina.. We could make them do things for us.. You know.. Like slaves.. Carry luggage or files.. Those things are bulky, you know?”

Mayu involuntarily grabbed onto Rena’s collar. “Why is Yuki whispering into Miss Matsui’s ears for.......”

“Let go, Mayu..” Rena smacked Mayu’s arm away.

Jurina actually contemplated about what Yuki just said and looked at the two girls standing in front of her. She finally sighed. “Alright. Consider it a business trip, you two.”

Yuki winked at Mayu who replied with a bright smile. All Atsuko could do was giggle at them.

“YES!!!” Rena and Mayu high fived each other. “Hawaii, here we come!!!!”

HOLA PEOPLE~
Sorry for the late update.. Been playing games  :nervous :nervous :nervous
Well, since I'm here now, let me present to you chapter 8 of this fic~  :twothumbs :twothumbs :twothumbs
ENJOY~!!  :banana: :pepper: :leek: :taco: :muffin: :strawberry: :lock:

_____________________________________________


CHAPTER 8


The watch reads 9.15am. Mayu and Rena stood by the roadside in front of the library as they were told. “Hmm... Jurina told us that she was going to pick us up here at 9am, right? Well, it’s kinda unacceptable for CEO to be late for appointments..”

“Mayu, please.. It’s just 15 minutes.. Can’t you be more patient like me?” Rena sighed and shook her head.

“Of course you can be patient with your beloved Jurina....” Mayu sounded very sarcastic.

“What I’m trying to say is just that you’re not patient. That’s all. Don’t try to bring things the other way round, ok? Besides, do you know what time is out flight?”

“Hell if I know. Yuki haven’t told me any details yet.” Mayu shrugged.

At that time, a luxurious Rolls Royce car drove up to them and stopped at the side of the road. Mayu whispered into Rena’s ears. “Do you think that’s them? If it really is, I think I’m going to go crazy because I have never sat in any car that is worth more than a Honda Civic in my life...”

The front car window winded open at reveal an all smiley Atsuko sitting at the co-driver seat. “Sorry, we’re late.. I was getting my make up done.”

Mayu and Rena looked at each other for a moment before ducking down their heads and looked at the driver’s face. Jurina’s head popped out from the driver’s seat. She was wearing the same grey hoodie from the other day. This image of Jurina made her seem more friendly. “What’re you both standing there like a statue for!? Get in.” Well, not really. Human character doesn’t change according to the clothes you wear. That’s what Rena have yet to learn.

“Oh.. Right....” They placed their luggage in the trunk and entered the backseat. Yuki was there to greet them.

“Hey, Yuki...” Mayu’s face glittered in happiness as soon as she saw Yuki’s face.

“You’re not covering your face with clothings in public, Atsuko.. That’s a rare sight..” Rena started.

“Nah.. I’ve decided.. If the paparazzi are gonna come, just let them come.. I don’t even care anymore. My purpose for this trip is to have lots of fun. I’m not going to cover my face.” Atsuko smiled.

Soon after, Jurina started driving and made their way to the highway. No matter how one looks at Jurina right now, her clothes doesn’t suit the car that she was driving at all. A lady wearing a grey hoodie driving a luxurious Rolls Royce? I mean, come on. But Jurina is the type to love slipping into clothes she feel the most comfortable when she’s off duty. Mayu suddenly started bouncing on the seat a little. “Hmm... It really does feel strange sitting in a luxurious car for the first time..”

Jurina glared at Mayu through the rear mirror and voiced out in a loud tone that startled her. “Hey, can you please stop bouncing around at the back!? You’re going to ruin the leather seat!”

“Sorry.” Mayu’s words came out of her mouth softly.

“Come on, Jurina.. This is her first time sitting in a luxurious car.” Yuki patter Jurina’s shoulder.

This time, Jurina looked at Yuki through the rear mirror. “So, if there is a scratch on the seat, are you going to pay for it, Yuki?”

“I don’t mind, actually.” It didn’t take Yuki one second to think at all.

“Aren’t you protecting her a little too much?” Jurina asked.

“I don’t see anything wrong with protecting my own employee, Jurina. You should continue driving and stop talking..” Yuki pinched one side of Jurina’s cheek.

“You’re embarrassing me, Yuki. Let go or else..” Jurina warned once. Well, it’s not like Jurina could do anything now that she’s driving.

“Pfft... No way..” Yuki pinched the other side of Jurina’s face as well and stretched it, creating a weird looking Jurina.

Yuki pinching and pulling both sides of Jurina’s cheek caused her words to get distorted. “Wuki, wu vetta wet go ov mah cheeks nwao or I will have mah wewenge on you once we ket to our desteenasion. (Yuki, you better let go of my cheeks now or I will have my revenge on you once we get to our destination)”

Everyone in the car laughed loudly at Jurina’s words. Atsuko who was sitting beside Jurina laughed while clapping her hands as if she was watching some entertainment show on television, on difference is that this is happening live. Rena laughed a little as well. But her laugh was dry. It seemed a little forced. For some reason she was feeling a little jealous of Yuki being so close to Jurina.

“Stop it, Rena. What are you getting jealous for? You don’t like Jurina. So, stop thinking about weird things.” Rena whispered to herself and shook the thought off her mind.

About half an hour in the car, Mayu noticed something was wrong as she looked left and right. The road Jurina was taking was a little weird. They were off the highway and driving on a small road into the outskirts. “Emm... I don’t think this is the way to the airport...”

“Yes, it is..” Jurina answered.

“No, it isn’t.. I’ve been to the airport countless of times. This is not the way to the airport.” Mayu insisted.

Yuki giggled. “I’m sorry, Mayu.. I forgot to mention that we’re not going to a public airport..”

Rena and Mayu blinked their eyes at each other. “E-Eh?”

As the car reached a huge open area, Jurina hit the brakes at that time and drove into a garage. All the five ladies stepped out of the car and grabbed their respective luggages. “What is this place?” Rena asked.

As they stepped out of the garage, Mayu and Rena was astonished from the scene right before their eyes. They were standing right in front of a private jet. “OH.MY.GOD.” was all Mayu could utter right now.

“W-Who’s private jet is this? W-We’re not taking this private jet there.........right?” Mayu blinked like a little girl. Yuki thought that Mayu’s behaviour was cute. It was as if she had never seen a private jet in real life before. Well.... She hasn’t. So as Rena.

“This private jet belongs to me. And yes, we’re taking this flight to Hawaii. I have already informed the authorities in Hawaii. I know some people there.”

“You’re not gonna be the one pilot, are you?” Mayu questioned.

“Don’t be silly.. I have a personal pilot already getting ready in the cockpit.” Jurina explained.

“I can’t wait to get up the plane anymore.” Mayu snatched her luggage and dashed into the private jet immediately. Rena followed behind her.

It was spacious and luxurious beyond imagination. Snacks, wine, games, television, bed, shower and much more are available in the flight. It literally felt like a hotel room for a moment. There were six seats and one long comfortable couch that could fit two people.

“This is my seat!!” Mayu hopped onto the couch and laid flat on it, taking up all the space.

Jurina was completely speechless from Mayu’s childish actions. When Yuki came in, Mayu immediately sat up straight and offered the seat to Yuki. “Yuki, do you want to sit with me?” Mayu asked with her puppy eyes blinking cutely at Yuki. Jurina walked forth at that time. “How about a no? Yuki is sitting with me, understand?”

Yuki knocked Jurina away with her butt and smiled at Mayu. “I’d love to sit with you, Mayu..”

Rena was still astonished from the beautiful interior of the private jet. She then turned to Jurina and asked. “Emm... Jurina.. Can I ask you a question?”

Jurina voiced out immediately. “Please don’t call me Jurina. This is a business trip in case you forget. You’re not allowed to call me Jurina until-”

Yuki cut Jurina off before she could finish her sentence. “Yes, Rena.. You can call her Jurina all you want. We’re not in AKB Hotel. Feel free to call me Yuki as well.”

“You know what, just call me whatever the hell you want. Jurina, Ju, Juju, J, K, L... I don’t even care anymore.” Jurina sighed and had decided to let Yuki win this unnecessary battle. “Yes Rena, what was your question again?”

“Emm..... All these... This private jet.. The Rolls Royce.. They’re all yours?” It seems like Rena was interested with Jurina’s background suddenly.

“Yes they are.. Why?” Seeing a lady in a not-so-branded grey hoodie and simple black slacks saying this doesn’t seem to match the picture. She looked like those typical girl you could find easily walking at the side of the road.

“Oh, nothing actually.. It’s just that I never knew you’re THAT rich... I mean I know you’re definitely rich.. But just didn’t expect you to be.........super rich.”

“I do a lot of investments. So, it’s pretty easy and normal to be rich nowadays.”

“I’m not rich..” Rena answered.

“That’s because you’re not putting enough effort in your life and learn to do investments.” Jurina stated.

“I’m not putting enough effort? I know how much effort I’ve been putting in my life to get to this point. More like because you were rich to begin with.. I’m not from a rich family..” Maybe Rena shouldn’t have said this because Jurina didn’t like it at all.

Jurina seemed really, I mean REALLY irritated from Rena’s sentence. “What made you think I had any money to begin with, huh? You don’t know anything about my past, Rena. I’m warning you for one last time, Rena.. Don’t jump into foolish conclusions like this. Understood?”

“Y-Yes.... I’m sorry..” Rena apologized immediately.

Noticing this, Yuki quickly changed the topic. “Hey, Jurina. I think it’s time we leave now. I can’t wait to get to Hawaii and have lots of fun.. Right, Mayu?”

“Yea..” Mayu smiled at Yuki.

“Alright.. I’ll tell the pilot..” Jurina then looked at Rena for one last time. “It’s a 7 hour and 15 minutes flight, Rena. Get some sleep. You’ll need it.” Jurina then entered the cockpit and informed the pilot before coming out and took the seat beside Atsuko.

Few minutes later, the plane took off and finally they’re off to Hawaii. Didn’t take long for Yuki and Mayu’s chatter to end as they slept on the sofa. Mayu seemed to be curled up under Yuki’s arm as Yuki just laid her head on top of Mayu’s. Atsuko snoozed as well, with her headphones on full volume. Rena on the other hand, just couldn’t sleep.

“Hot Chocolate for you?” Rena looked up and saw Jurina holding onto an empty cup.

“Oh, it’s alright. You don’t have to trouble yourself for that..”

“I insist.. I have to apologize for my behaviour earlier. Maybe I shouldn’t raise my voice against you. I was too sensitive about that matter.”

This seemed really weird for Rena. Just few moments ago, Jurina was scolding her, and now she is apologizing? It’s like she has double personalities, a hot tempered one and a kind one. “No, please don’t apologize.. I shouldn’t have said those things to you either. And you don’t need to make a cup of Hot Chocolate for me.”

“I see.. You don’t want Hot Chocolate, huh? I’ll be happy to make some Espresso for you then..” Jurina took out a packet of Espresso.

“No, wait wait wait! I’ll take the Hot Chocolate.”

“Now that’s what I want to hear..” Jurina smiled and it made Rena’s heart skip a beat.

Jurina came back with a cup of Hot Chocolate and handed it to Rena. Rena took the cup from Jurina’s hand, but her eyes were blinking at Jurina the whole time. Noticing this, Jurina sat down beside her on the couch and placed her hands on the table. “You look like a confused little puppy, Rena. What’s wrong?”

“P-P-Puppy??” Rena’s face turned red suddenly.

“Yes, a confused little puppy. You seem to have something you’re curious about. If you have anything you want to know, just ask me.”

“Emm.... Maybe I shouldn’t be asking this but.... Do you.....erm......you know....have double personalities?” Rena sounded full of guilt while asking this question. She was afraif she would get scolding from Jurina again.

Jurina was trying to hold her laughter. “What makes you think I have double personalities?”

“I don’t know... Sometimes, you’re really sweet and kind but sometimes, you’re really cruel and mean... So I was just curious...” Rena showed a guilty smile.

“So, you think I have Multiple Personality Disorder or something?” Jurina leaned bac on her seat and crossed her arms.

“I don’t know..... Are you aware that there’s two completely different personalities within you?”

Jurina giggled a little. “You’re really afraid that I have a disease, aren’t you? Don’t worry. I’m completely aware that I have these both sides in me. It’s my own choice to show which personality I want. I could even start scolding you right now if I wanted to. But otherwise, it’s all depending on my mood... Though I have very very terrible mood swings.. I may feel happy the first minute, then the next minute I might end up scolding everyone. I’m just like that.”

“It’s still a little confusing...” Rena scratched her head.

“Confusing? You’re trying to study my personality or something?”

“Not study.. I just wanted to know when I can approach you and when I should stay away...”

Jurina laughed. “Of course you can approach me anytime you want...” Her expression immediately changed from laughing into a serious one. “Just don’t approach me with stupid and small matters. Those are not my kind of thing. I don’t really fancy listening to any of them.”

Rena finds it fascinating that Jurina could change her expression so fast. Then, Rena suddenly joked out of the blue. “Ever thought about going into entertainment business?”

Jurina furrowed her brows at Rena and sighed. “You see, Rena... Things like this are why I always go ito mood swings... Do I look entertaining to you?”

“Erm....” Rena placed her index finger with her thumb. “Maybe a little?”

“I don’t think so. I’m a businesswoman. Not an entertainer.”

“Hey... Entertainment business is business too...”

Jurina blinked her eyes at Rena’s comeback and smiled a little. “It’s a little scary that you’re becoming more and more like Yuki..”

“Hmm? How?” Rena sounded surprised.

“Having come backs that just make me go all dumb and confused. All I could do is just stare back at you and think to myself ‘Wow, is this girl here for real?.” Jurina replied.

“So.... Is it a good thing or a bad thing?” Rena smiled.

“It’s a good thing for you. Bad for me..” Jurina replied with a smile as well.

Rena and Jurina talked for a few hours till they fell asleep themselves. The flight was long. They really needed their sleep. Time passed by really quickly.

As Rena opened her eyes, her left shoulder felt a little heavy. Jurina was laying her head on Rena’s shoulder while sleeping. She was as stiff as a statue. She didn’t dare to move a muscle. Blushing at the same time as well. “Oh my god.. What should I do now....I think I’ll just stay like this till she wakes up..”

Rena stole a couple of glances on Jurina’s face. 10 times, if not, 20. She then tilted her head a little to take a look at Jurina’s face. She looked really pure and innocent when she’s sleeping, just like a teenager. Rena carefully swiped Jurina’s bangs away so she could get a clearer vision of Jurina. That was the cutest thing Rena had seen in a while. So, Rena couldn’t help it but to slowly shift her index finger and poked Jurina’s face softly.  Rena was so engrossed in Jurina that she did not notice that there was a pair of eyes staring right at her. As Rena finished poking Jurina’s face, she shifted her head facing front once again. Mayu who was sitting at the opposite couch was eating popcorn while staring right at Rena’s face. Rena blinked her eyes a few times to register what was going on at that time.

The grin on Mayu’s face was evil as she was recording the whole scene the whole time. “Tsk tsk tsk tsk...... Caught you red handed, you little liar..”

Afraid of waking Jurina up, Rena remained like a statue and moved her mouth without voicing out, forming a sentence. “I’ll kill you if you don’t delete that, Mayu!”

Mayu showed Rena her tongue and kept her phone back in her pocket. “Make me.”

*DING DONG* *Rise and shine, people.. We have finally reached Hawaii.*

The announcement from the pilot woke Jurina up. And of course Yuki and Atsuko as well. They all immediately looked out the window. The view was breathtaking. An island in the middle of the ocean, what could be better than that. The plane landed soon after that.

Once Mayu stepped out of the plane, she breathe in hard and screamed at the top of her lungs. “ALOOOOOOOHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAWAII!!!!!!!!!!!”

As soon as they stepped into the airport, cameras started flashing at them. There were paparazzi all over the place. Definitely they’re there for Atsuko. Atsuko just put on her best smile and waved back at them.

“Oh my god.. Why are there so many paparazzi here....” Rena started panicking.

“Just smile and wave, Rena.” Mayu smiled at the crowd and waved.

“Erm... Hello..” Rena smiled at the paparazzi as well. But as soon as Rena saw Jurina and Yuki, she put down her hands immediately. Yuki and Jurina were wearing sunglasses and avoided all eye contact with anyone while walking down the path. That just made them look like some cool celebrity even though they’re not.

Looking at Mayu getting all excited, waving and smiling all around made Rena feel embarrassed. If that wasn’t embarrassing enough, Mayu dragged Rena towards one of the paparazzi’s camcorder and started yelling “Hey, mom! It’s me, Mayu!! I’m with Rena in Hawaii. HELLO!!!! Come on, Rena. Say something!”

Despite being in Hawaii and all the paparazzi being non-Japanese, Mayu still voiced out the message in Japanese language. The cameraman was literally looking at Mayu, amused. Rena was trying her best to pry Mayu off her but Mayu seemed to be stronger. She then whispered into Mayu’s ears angrily. “Stop this, Mayu! This is embarrassing! The recording was meant for Atsuko! Not us!”

“But she’s with us now. So...” Mayu looked back at the camcorder and continued. “Hey, dad! What are you eating for dinner tonight? Don’t eat too much oily food. You have high cholesterol. Alright? Ask mom to cook some porridge for you, ok?” Rena continued prying Mayu’s arm off, not wanting to be embarrassed.

At that time, they were both lifted up at the back of their collars. “Let me apologize in their behalf.” Jurina apologized in English to the cameraman and dragged them to their cab and took off.

“Wow, Jurina.. You’re really fluent in English...” Rena stated

“That’s one of Jurina’s charm.. Makes her so loveable..” Yuki smiled sweetly at Jurina.

“Yea I can understand..” Rena smiled as well.

After half an hour in the cab, they were put down on the sidewalk near the seaside. “We have to walk to our hotel from here. No cars are allowed to enter.” Jurina instructed.

As they walked along the sidewalk, the shop hey were passing through caught Mayu’s attention. It was a soft toy store. She screeched and dragged Rena into the store. Yes, screeched. Mayu loves soft toys. She has tons of them in her room. All of them with their own names. That’s the cute side about her. Sometimes, Rena thinks that this part of Mayu is cute.

“I think I’ll take a walk along the beach while waiting..” Atsuko smiled at them.

“Alright. I’ll inform you when I get them out of the store..” Jurina returned the smile.

“Oh.... Rena, look at this!! It’s so cute!!” Mayu held up a Domo-kun soft toy.

“Yea... It’s mouth is so big.. Just like yours.. Hippo mouth.” Rena laughed.

“Tch- What about you, then? You look fat like this!” Mayu held up a Totoro soft toy.

“I’m fine with looking like Totoro.. Everybody loves Totoro..”

“Then I’m fine being Domo-kun as well.. Everyone knows Domo-kun is more popular..”

“Whatever you say, Mayu...” Rena turned her back on Mayu and ignored everything she says.

Something from the next shelf attracted Mayu’s attention. “Oh my god! Is that..??? YES IT IS!!!!! KYAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!” Mayu got super excited all of a sudden and rushed towards the next shelf.

“Oh gosh, what the hell is wrong with you!? You’re too loud! There are people looking at us, Mayu!” Rena covered her ears.

“Look, Rena!!! Look at this!! It’s Sebastian Michaelis!!” Mayu excitedly held a soft toy up and showed it to Rena.

Rena merely squinted her eyes at the soft toy. “Am I supposed to know who this Sebastian is?”

“Oh my god, Rena.. It’s Sebastian from Black Butler!! He’s so HOT!!!! KYAAA!!!” Mayu was literally squishing the Sebastian soft toy like a little girl.

Jurina suddenly appeared out of nowhere and snatched the soft toy off Mayu’s hand. “You didn’t come here for a holiday. Remember that.. You’re on a business trip.”

“Oh, jeez Jurina.. Give them a break!” Yuki snatched it back from Jurina and returned it to Mayu.

Jurina placed her arms on her waist and looked at Yuki. “Yuki, they came here to work. Not to play and scream like this.”

“Come on, Jurina.. It’s Hawaii. Cut them some slack will you?”

Jurina held Yuki by the shoulder at that time. “Yuki, I agreed to allow them to come only because of work purposes. Not for a holiday. The holiday was only meant for you, me and Maeda Atsuko.”

“And them... Come on, Jurina..” Yuki showed her angelic smile at Jurina. That had always been Jurina’s weakness. She just couldn’t talk back to Yuki looking at her face like that.

Once again, Mayu’s arm involuntarily crawled up to Rena’s collar and gripped on it. “Why are they so close????????”

“Your hands, Mayu.. They’re crumpling my shirt for the 48th time...” Rena had to pry Mayu’s hand off her shirt.

Jurina pointed at Yuki’s face while her mouth moving about again and again, trying to say something but she just couldn’t seem to say it out. “I’m going to allow you to win this time, Yuki... Just...fine, forget it..”

“Allow me to win? More like you couldn’t win..” Yuki giggled a little.

“I will apologize on Jurina’s behalf. She usually doesn’t like jokes while working... She’s always serious when it comes to work.” Yuki explained.

“Yes, I can see that..” Rena just wished she could bring the playful and kind Jurina out once again instead of this deadly and cold CEO. That’s the Jurina that Rena likes.. Wait...like? Rena doesn’t like Jurina... Or does she?

“Ooh, an ice cream store! Let’s go get some!” Yuki immediately got distracted by an ice cream store just opposite the shop they’re in right now.

“Here we go again...” Jurina rolled her eyes. “You know what, I’ll just walk around in this store...”

Rena’s next step alerted her of something. She lifted her foot and noticed that she stepped on a wallet. It definitely belonged to someone of an upper class because it was branded. She picked it up and opened it to find out the owner of the wallet. Out of curiosity, she flipped the wallet over and saw an old picture of a man and a woman carrying a little girl. Rena assumed that picture to be the owner’s family photo. To her surprise, the ID shows Matsui Jurina. The ID revealed that her birthday is 8th of March. “Wait.. 8th of March.. That’s today..” Rena thought.

Rena immediately chased after Jurina and called out for her. “Jurina.. You dropped your wallet..”

Unaware that she dropped her own wallet, she started fondling through her pockets before smiling at Rena and took the wallet from her hand. “Oh, thanks..”

Rena replied with a smile as well. “Oh, and happy birthday, Jurina..”

Jurina stopped in her tracks and looked back at Rena with eyes glaring right at her. “What did you see in my wallet?”

“Wha- I... Just your ID..” Rena was completely oblivious about why Jurina was acting so serious all of a sudden.

“What ELSE did you see in my wallet!?” Jurina repeated her question once again, but with a louder voice.

“H-Huh? I-I don’t know.....” Rena was stuttering so much that her mind went blank suddenly.

“You saw a picture, didn’t you!?” Jurina warned Rena with her eyes cold as ice. Her glare was literally freaking Rena out. It was as if Jurina didn’t want the picture to be seen by anyone.

“I.....I..... It was an accident, I swear..” Rena was already in the verge of tears looking at Jurina losing her temper on her.

“......” Jurina sighed loudly and closed her eyes. “I’m sorry. But, please Rena.. Next time, don’t look into my wallet, alright? There are things...I don’t want anybody to know about.”

Rena wiped away her tears and nodded softly. There was no doubt that Rena was still frightened and confused.

“What happened??” Yuki and Mayu came back to the scene, looking confused.

Jurina did not answer to the question as she just ignored it and walked away.

“Rena, what happened?” Mayu asked Rena.

“I don’t know.. I just picked up Jurina’s wallet and accidentally saw a picture. Before I knew it, she was already scolding me.”

“A picture?” Yuki frowned. “Hmm... I never knew Jurina had any picture kept in her wallet.. What kind of picture was it?”

“I’m not really sure but I think it’s a picture of her family..” Rena shrugged.

“I see...” Yuki rubbed her chin a little.

“Hmm?? What’s wrong, Yuki?” Something seemed to have sparked Rena’s interest.

Yuki suddenly sighed, alerting Rena. “Before I tell you about Jurina, just in case you didn’t know, Rena.. I was an orphan.”

Rena was surprised to learn that one of the CEOs of AKB Hotel was an orphan. Just imagine how much effort Yuki had to put out and how much she have been through to finally stand at the top of one of the best hotels in the world as CEO. “Wait, you’re an orphan??”

“Pfft.. I already know that Yuki was an orphan though..” Mayu had known this fact on their date.

Yuki sighed once again after that. “Jurina was always serious from the very first day she came into the high school. She was too intimidating. Nobody would want to be friends with her. The only one who approached her was me. She was always gloomy so I found a solution of that. Everyday after school, I would invite her to the orphanage and play with the little kids there. From that day onward, Jurina started opening herself to only me. Then I realized, the more you get to know her, you’ll find out that she actually has a kind and sweet side behind her hot tempered character. I know it’s kinda rare, but that little side of her leak out once in a while when she’s in a good mood.”

At that time, the memory of Rena’s encounter with Jurina the other day and the scene from the earlier flight flashed through her mind. “I see... But what about her parents? Jurina seemed a little upset that I saw her family photo..”

“It’s hard to believe this, but even I don’t know what Jurina’s dad looks like. She hardly talked about her dad.. Other than her surname, there’s nothing much about her dad that I know about. All I know is that her parents were divorced when she was still young. At least her dad left a little fortune for her and her mom. But it wasn’t enough. Jurina had to support her mom and herself from such a young age by doing part time jobs all day long. That’s where Jurina got her serious character from. She had to stay strong for her mom. Not long after that, her mom died of cancer. That was when her strong character slowly turned into hot temper.” Yuki explained.

“That’s really sad...” Rena literally had some tears in her eyes.

“If you think me being an orphan was sad enough.. Just try to imagine, Jurina’s case was 100x worse than mine. I may not know who my parents are but I had people taking care of me since I was a baby. She was the one who had been through tough times more than I did. She had to go though both the loss of her family and yet, she was strong enough to continue living her life. Which is why I feel so proud when I was finally able to stand at the top rank in one of the best hotels with somebody so admirable like Jurina. She may have a dark past, but look at her now.. She’s successful, rich and good looking..” Yuki clasps her hands together and started squealing a little. “Sometimes, I just feel like I couldn’t help but to fall in love with her..”

Mayu squinted her eyes a little at Yuki’s statement.

Jurina’s head popped out from the end of the aisle and called out to the three ladies. “What are you three blabbering about? We have yet to check into the hotel.. And Yuki, don’t forget that we have a meeting in 2 hours time. You better hurry.”

“Oh, right... Here, Mayu.” Yuki handed her handbag over to Mayu.

“Emm... What’s this handbag for?” Mayu seemed confused.

“What do you mean ‘What’s this handbag for?’? You came here as my assistant, didn’t you?” Yuki smiled.

“B-But I’m an assistant.. Not a serva-” Mayu didn’t get a chance to finish her statement as Yuki seductively traced her finger across Mayu’s lips, silencing her immediately.

“You’ll help me to carry my handbag.....right?” Yuki seductively bit her own lips to convince Mayu more. I guess Yuki’s seduction was more than enough to convince Mayu. Her face was redder than a tomato.

“I’ll carry anything you want, Yuki...” Mayu was already hypnotized completely. Her eyeballs were shaped like pink hearts.

“What the.....” Rena looked confused at Mayu’s sudden change of behaviour.

“Yay!” Yuki clapped her hands.

“Ah, Yuki!” Rena called out to Yuki once again, remembering something else.

“Yea?” Yuki asked.

“Erm... When is Jurina’s birthday?” Rena asked with a complicated expression shown clearly on her face.

“Oh, we celebrated her birthday last month.. Her birthday is 16th of February. Why?” Yuki tilted her head.

“I see.... Guess I was too late to wish her, huh...” Rena nodded and started thinking once again. Jurina’s ID definitely showed 8th of March.. Rena knows that she’s not blind. It’s definitely 8th of March. No doubt about it. So, why did Jurina lie about her birthday? Even to Yuki, her best friend since high school? This thought will bother Rena for quite some time.

Hi kevin! It's been some time. :on asmo:

I've read this fanfic, your new fanfic series, and... I'm really addicted to it!!  :lol:
Just like SP, your chapters in here always make me laugh as well... I can't stop laughing and smiling.

I love how Mayu and Rena fight over something silly.  :mikilaugh:

And Jurina.... you make me more curious about Juju and her past. I'm sure that there's something behind her coldness and her hot tempered attitude.

Yuki... she's so lovely!  :mon inluv: The way she pampering Mayu..... so cute! I love every Mayuki scenes.
She can easily win everyone's heart with her beauty and her smile. She's a real Goddess in here.

Oh, you also put the love-line between Acchan-Takamina-Tomochin. I wonder what whould Takamina do if she meet Acchan again in the future. Will she let Acchan go like the last time? Hmm.....

WMatsui scene... Rena is right, it seems Juju have double personalities.  :rofl:
Juju's mood can change instantly and drastically.
Instead of get irritated of Juju, I hope Rena can try to understand Juju's sarcasm.  8)

Ano.... I just....... want to ask 1 thing.
The day when Acchan locked herself in the hotel room (after a big quarrel with Takamina):
Quote
*BEEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEP*

“Atsuko, open up!!” Rena spammed the door bell.

*CLANGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!*

“That.....sounds like something just broke....” This made all four of them panic.

“OPEN THE DOOR, ATSUKO!!!!” Mayu shouted and banged the door.

There’s no use shouting and banging the door! It’s sound proof! Move!” Jurina pushed Rena and Mayu away
The room is sound proof, but... they can hear something has broke inside the room?  :mon psst:

By the way..... I think I will start to spam your inbox again with "Please update your fic faster!"  :mon misch:

CHAPTER 9


Atsuko stretched herself along the beach and sat down there on the sand alone, facing the sunset. The feeling was calm. Just the thing she needed after that huge argument with Minami.

“Erm, excuse me...” Somebody tapped on Atsuko’s shoulder softly. As she turn her head, she saw that it was an American teenage boy. “Erm.... Maeda Atsuko?” The teenage boy asked in English. He tried to use his English as simple as possible so that Atsuko could understand him. Well, Atsuko isn’t really fluent in English, so Atsuko was kinda happy that he was considerate.

“Yes..” Atsuko nodded and answered back in English.

“Erm.... Can I have an autograph please? I’m a fan.” The teenage boy showed Atsuko one of her albums and showed it to her.

“Ah... Fan..... Ok ok...” Understanding the boy’s request, she took out her permanent marker and gave the boy an autograph. She always brings a permanent marker with her everywhere she goes just in case there’s a spontaneous autograph session like now.

“Thank you.. You’re beautiful.. Bye bye..” The teenage boy complimented Atsuko before he left.

“Me? Beautiful? Thank you!! Bye bye!” Atsuko literally laughed at the teenage boy’s dorkiness.

“Can you sign an autograph for me too?” This time a lady voiced out to her in Japanese language.

“Sure..” Atsuko took the album from the lady’s hand and signed her autograph and smiled as she passed the album back to the owner. “Here you go..”

Atsuko lost her smile right away as soon as she saw the owner’s face.

“Hi, Atsuko..” There Takamina stood, smiling brightly at her.

“Minami!!” Atsuko shot up from her seat and released a slap on her face before the shorter girl had any chance to talk back.

After recovering from the slap, Minami looked back at Atsuko once again. “You can slap me all you want. I will never go away.”

“You think I won’t do it?” Atsuko raised her hand once again, and it made Minami flinched a little. After letting out a loud and annoyed sigh, Atsuko lowered her hand and asked, “What are you even doing here, Minami...”

“I told you before, I will not leave your side.”

“You followed me all the way to Hawaii? Are you serious? I came all the way here so I don’t have to look at your face.” Atsuko was dumbfounded.

“I overheard your conversation that you’re going to Hawaii, so I decided to come along. As I reached the airport, I overheard some of your Japanese fans talking about you and asked them about it. They told me that you were staying in HKT Hotel with four more ladies. So, I came.. And here you are.. At the beach..” Minami shrugged.

“You’re a stalker and you’re annoying. Go away. I’m not going to talk to you.”

“It’s alright. You don’t have to talk to me. I won’t expect any reply from you, but please just hear me out.”

“I don’t want to hear either. Get lost.” Atsuko warned.

“I have to clear this matter up with you, Atsuko.. Come.” Minami pulled Atsuko to a secluded area despite the latter was resisting..

“Let go of me, Minami!” Atsuko finally freed herself from Minami’s grip as soon as they reached the area. “I swear to god you’re going to be in a big trouble once they come back from their meeting.”

“I love you, Atsuko.”

“No, you don’t. You love Tom-”

Atsuko did not get to complete her sentence as Minami grabbed Atsuko for a kiss. A soft, gentle kiss. Atsuko blushed a lot from the kiss. Most likely because she had not expected a kiss from Minami at a time like this.

“Minami......” A soft voice escaped from Atsuko’s mouth and she slowly pushed Minami away from her. “Please don’t do this to me, Minami.. Don’t make me feel confused any more than this..”

“I wouldn’t kiss you if I don’t love you, Atsuko.. I can swear to god that I have never kissed Tomochin before because the one I love wasn’t her. It was you.”

“Then why? Why did you disregard me to go for her?”

“Because she knows.”

“Huh?” Atsuko was confused.

“Tomochin knows about us.. Our relationship. She told me if I did not play along with her games, she would announce to the media that we’re in a relationship.”

“Then let her do that! I don’t care about-”

“I care, Atsuko! I care! Singing had always been your dream. I don’t want you to give up your dream just to be with me. This just isn’t fair for you..” Minami caressed Atsuko’s cheek.

“Minami.... Seeing you with another woman is what isn’t fair for me.. If I were to lose you to another woman... I’d rather lose my celebrity life instead. I don’t want them. I just want......you...” Atsuko teared up.

“Atsuko...” Minami hugged Atsuko tightly. “I’m sorry.. I’m sorry for everything I have done to you.. I swear it will never happen again...”

They embraced themselves for a long time before Atsuko voiced out. “Minami?”

“Hmm?”

“There’s a lot of mosquitoes here...” Atsuko wiped her tears off.

Minami giggled at Atsuko’s random statement. “Alright. We should go walk around the town maybe?”

Atsuko nodded and held Minami’s hand. “I want to go... But we’ll hold hands, ok?”

“Are you sure about this?” Minami asked and Atsuko nodded silently. Minami grinned widely and intertwined her fingers with Atsuko’s fingers happily. “Alright then.”

Atsuko’s mood just became brightened by Minami’s gesture and they made their way to town to do some shopping. Atsuko did not care about her celebrity identity anymore. Minami was all she wanted. She finally got Minami back and will hold on to her till the end of time. Atsuko’s future in the entertainment industry still remains unknown. But that’s definitely not what she cares about at this point. For now, she just wanted to go on a date with the woman she loved.


HKT Hotel lounge

“Phew... That meeting was tiring...” Yuki laid down on the couch situated in the lounge of HKT Hotel.

“Yuki, I believe that’s not how CEOs act. Come back to our senses. You’re humiliating me.” Jurina was looking over some of the paperworks and documents from the meeting they just came back from.

“Geez, Jurina... Why must you be so serious? We came to Hawaii to let ourselves go, didn’t we?” Yuki clinged her arm onto Jurina.

“I’m not angry... Not angry at all..” Mayu was smiling. Only that her hands were choking Rena at the same time.

“You’re choking me, Mayu. Will you stop that?” Rena pulled Mayu’s arm away.

“Yuki, please. We’re in HKT Hotel now, one of our hotel branch. We’re the CEOs of AKB Hotel. We should show a good example to them, not destroy our image. Get it? If you want to loose yourself, go loose yourself somewhere else, just not here, alright?” Jurina continued accessing the documents.

“Let’s go loose ourselves together at the beach then.” Yuki suggested.

Jurina sighed. “Can’t you see these paperworks? I’m still busy now, Yuki. Just because you have no paperworks to take care of, doesn’t mean I have no paperworks.”

“You’re no fun, Jurina..” Yuki slumped herself on the couch and pouted.

“How about you stop bothering me now and I’ll buy you an ice cream later on?” Jurina suggested.

“How about you buy it for me now and I’ll stop bothering you?” Yuki returned with a sarcastic voice.

“I’m busy, Yuki.. See this? P.A.P.E.R.W.O.R.K.” Jurina lifted her pile of documents and showed it to Yuki.

“I’ll be happy to buy you an ice cream now, Yuki.” Mayu shot up from her seat at that time, shocking Rena.

Jurina clapped her hands. “Finally, somebody useful. Please do, Mayu.. I’d appreciate that.”

“Hmph! I’m not going to talk to you for the rest of the day, Jurina.” Yuki stood up from her seat and grabbed Mayu’s hand.

Mayu looked at Yuki’s face, then her hand, then her face, then her hand again. “You’re holding my hand....” Mayu was literally beaming in happiness.

“Rena, she’s holding my hand now! Oh, it’s like those romantic scenes from dramas..” Mayu said as she was dragged away by Yuki.

“Doesn’t seem like a romantic scene to me at all...” Rena looked on at Yuki dragging Mayu out of the hotel like how a mother would drag a child.

“Erm.... Do you think maybe you’re treating Yuki a little too harsh?”

“This is work, Rena. If Yuki doesn’t understand that this is more important, then I’ll have nothing to say.”

“I mean, you’d still have time to complete it later, right?”

Jurina pointed her pen at Rena’s face. “I don’t like delaying my work. So, stop lecturing me like you know what’s best for me. You don’t. Alright?”

There was nothing else Rena could say as she merely shrugged.

“Ah, damn it!” Jurina slammed the paperworks on the table, alerting Rena.

“Is there a problem?”

“There’s a document I need to use...... Rena, come with me to my office.” Jurina stood up and started packing her things.

“Your office?? But we’re in Hawaii...” Rena was dumbfounded.

“I have a hotel branch here in Hawaii. What makes you think I have no office here as well? Here you go. My office is just two blocks away.” Jurina placed her stack of papers on Rena’s arm. “Since you’re my assistant, I’m going to give you another set of my office card key. Don’t you lose this card key. This is very very important, alright?”

Rena nodded and received Jurina’s set of office card key.


By the seaside

“That Jurina....” Yuki pouted and was still unhappy about Jurina’s coldness towards her earlier on.

“Calm down, Yuki..”

“I just wanted her to stop being so serious while working, that’s all.. What’s the wrong in that? Hmm?” Yuki shot her face close to Mayu.

“N-Nothing. Nothing is wrong with that..” Mayu’s head automatically shifted back a little as Yuki’s face was too close to hers. “Maybe ice cream will help you cool down a little?”

“No ice creams can cool me down now..” Yuki seemed really angry.

“Oh, look.. An ice cream store over there.” Mayu pointed at a man selling ice cream at the beach.

“OH ICE CREAM!!!” Yuki rushed towards the man immediately. Well, maybe she wasn’t that mad after all. Mayu finds Yuki’s love for ice cream really amusing. She could be really angry at this very moment. Ice cream appears, and BOOM.. Angry Yuki’s gone.

“What do you want, Mayu? Chocolate? Vanilla?” Yuki seemed like a small kid right now.

“Chocolate.”

“Two chocolate ice cream. Thank you.” Yuki was so excited when the ice cream vendor passed her the ice creams. “Here you go, Mayu.” Yuki walked towards Mayu.

“Thank you..” Mayu was reaching for the ice cream when Yuki did something unexpected.

“Catch!” Yuki threw Mayu’s ice cream towards her and by reflex, Mayu accidentally dodged it and watched her ice cream drop onto the floor.

“My ice cream!!” Mayu looked at her broken ice cream laying on the floor.

“Oops.. Looks like you have to get a new one.” Yuki sticked her tongue out at Mayu and walked away.

“Come back! I’m going to take your ice cream!” Mayu immediately chased after Yuki.

Noticing that Mayu was chasing after her, Yuki started running as fast as she could but she didn’t realize there was a hard rock camouflaging itself along the golden sands and...

*KICK*

“Ouch!” Yuki fell down flat on the sand with her ice cream escaping from her grip and meeting the sands. The impact of her body to the ground caused some of the sand to land on top of her own body.

Mayu stopped in her tracks and started laughing. Even if it was the lady that she likes a lot, Mayu couldn’t stop herself from laughing at a scene like this. She started clapping by herself and held onto her stomach while laughing as if she was watching an entertainment show.

“My ice cream......” Yuki was pouting and sobbing while still laying flat on the sands.

“Are you okay?” Mayu held in her laughter, swiped the sand off Yuki’s back and helped her sit up.

“.........” Somehow Yuki just sat up and stare right into Mayu’s eyes as she dusted the sand off her.

“Oh my god, look at you.. You have sand even on your hair.” Mayu giggled as she gently swiped the sands off her hair.

“..........”

“Yuki?” Mayu realized that Yuki looked stunned.

“It’s those beautiful eyes again..... Those sincere and pure eyes...” Yuki blinked.

“Yuki, are you ok? Don’t scare me..” Mayu was nudging Yuki’s shoulder.

“H-Huh? I’m so sorry. I must be having a concussion or something.” Yuki tried to stand up. “Ouch!” Yuki just realized at that moment that she had twisted her ankle.

“What’s wrong, Yuki?” Mayu looked at Yuki’s ankle and it looked swollen. “This looked serious. Did you twist your ankle when you fell just now?” Mayu sounded concerned.

Yuki nodded silently and painfully.

“Here...” Mayu pulled Yuki up and offered. “Get on my back.”

“But I’m heavy..” Yuki did not want to get on Mayu’s back as she mentioned.

“Get on my back, Yuki. I doubt you’ll be able to walk with your foot in this condition.”

“You’re smaller than me, Mayu. You’re going to get hurt carrying me..” Yuki was still doubting Mayu’s strength.

“I might look small, but never underestimate my strength. Can you see these muscles here?” Mayu flexed her right arm and showed it to Yuki.

“...........There’s nothing...” Yuki thought as a sweatdrop appeared at the back of her head.

“Get on. I can handle this..” Mayu insisted once again.

“If you say so..” Yuki hopped onto Mayu’s back.

“Oh, wow god damn it, she’s so heavy...” Mayu thought to herself and literally gritted her teeth as Yuki finally landed on her back. Trying her best to cover her expression, she smiled back at Yuki and started walking. “See? You’re not that heavy at all.. This is nothing..”

Yuki definitely knew that Mayu was straining herself as she felt her whole body vibrating from the aount of strength exerted. “Erm.... Mayu? Are you ok?”

“What do you mean? Of course I’m ok..” Mayu smiled. Even her lips vibrated a little.

“Mayu, your face is all red..” Yuki pointed out.

“No, it’s not.. It’s just the sun shining on my face.”

“Put me down, Mayu..” Yuki patted Mayu’s shoulder.

“No, I’m not putting you down.” Mayu insisted.

“Put me down, Mayu! This is an order from your boss!” Yuki raised her voice.

“Like you said, Yuki.. This isn’t AKB Hotel..”

“You’re going to hurt yourself if you continue carrying me. Put me down NOW!” Yuki patted Mayu’s shoulder harder than before and started wriggling around.

“You want me to put to down? Ok. I will put you down...” Mayu suddenly diverted her way towards the sea.

“Where are you going?” Yuki was confused about Mayu’s sudden diversion.

“Putting you down, of course.” Mayu sneakily moved towards the sea water, going in a little deeper and deeper and it alerted Yuki.

“Mayu! Do not drop me into the water! You heard me!? I will kill you if you drop me here!”

“But I thought you wanted me to put you down? Apparently, the Watanabe taxi only drops people into the ocean.” Mayu grinned.

“No no no no! Stop it, Mayu!”

“Are you still insisting of coming down?”

“Alright! Alright! You win! Now take me away from here now! And don’t blame me if you get yourself hurt or anything.” Yuki demanded with a loud voice.

Mayu smiled, being satisfied that she finally won against Yuki. “Well, nobody asked you to fall and sprain your ankle.”

“And whose fault is that, huh?” Yuki smacks Mayu’s shoulder.

“Hey... This all started because you knocked my ice cream down..” Mayu answered and Yuki didn’t seem to like it.

“Excuse me? If you had not chased after me, I wouldn’t have fell down. So it’s your fault. Your fault! Your fault! Your fault!” Yuki smacked Mayu’s shoulder for every time ‘fault’ was mentioned. “And I’m your boss. You’re not supposed to speak to me like that. When I say it’s your fault, it’s your fault.”

“Alright, alright.. It’s my fault..” Mayu gave up.

“That’s what I wanted to hear..” Yuki smiled in satisfaction of her victory.

They then remained silent and let the melody of the evening birds sink into their head. “It’s really peaceful just walking like this..”

“Yea.. I know, right? Just look at the sun... It’s beautiful..” Yuki stated as she looked at the beautiful golden light emitted by the sunset.

“Not as beautiful as you though..” Mayu’s frank words made Yuki blush a little. It’s too bad Mayu couldn’t look at Yuki’s blushing face right now. Mayu would go crazy for that face.

“You sweet talker..” Yuki pouted at herself being so embarrassed at Mayu’s one sentence. “You know.... You’re a little crazy and playful sometimes.. But you do have a decent side to you after all..” Yuki smiled.

“Me? Decent? Wow... I guess this is the first time I heard this word..”

“Mayu, you sure you don’t want to put me down? You really are going to get hurt, you know?” Yuki asked once again but with a softer tone as she was concerned about her a little.

“Put you down and let you get hurt instead? Not a chance. I’d rather get hurt myself than to see the woman I like a lot get hurt..”

*BA DUMP*

“That’s sweet of you, Mayu.. Thank you..” Yuki spoke out in a soft tone as she laid her head on Mayu’s back while tightening her grip on her. Mayu felt Yuki’s hug tightened and she was literally smiling on her own.

“So.... Yuki? I was thinking.....if you want to go on another date with me..” Mayu shyly spoke out.

“Date? Aren’t we already on a date right now?” Yuki’s sentence made Mayu skipped a heartbeat and almost made her lose strength in her legs. The silence came once again. The sound of the birds chirping and the sound of the waves itself were soothing and calming.

“So, when’s your birthday?” Mayu asked out of the blue to cut the silence.

“...........”

“Yuki?” Mayu turned her head back softly and noticed that Yuki had dozed off laying on her back like a comfortable pillow.

“Oops... Better not make any more noises..” Mayu thought as she made her way slowly back to the hotel, step by step so that she doesn’t wake Yuki up.


~~~


Jurina and Rena stood in front of a building. It was a tall building of about four story high. JuriYuki Corporation’ was written outside of the building.

“Wow... This is your office?” Rena asked in awe.

“This is our office building. Mine and Yuki’s. My personal office is on the first floor.” Jurina swiped her card key and opened the main entrance glass door of the building.

The interior was huge. It could fit at least a few hundred workers inside this building. Technically there was nobody here because it was on a Saturday evening. Rena followed Jurina up one floor and she finally reveals her office. It was made of glass panels. There was a big working desk with a desktop on top of it and a couch leaning against the glass panels.

Jurina unlocked the door of her personal office room and entered. She then looked at Rena who was hesitant to enter the office room. “Rena? You don’t expect me to send an invitation letter for you to come in, right?”

“N-No..” Rena came into the room and closed the door.

“Why were you standing outside the door?”

“Because I’ve never been into a CEO’s office before.. It’s kinda......pressuring..”

“Pressuring? I’m going to imbue lots of pressure on you if you don’t sit down right now and help me arrange these papers.” Jurina stated.

“Okay..” Rena sat down silently and helped Jurina to arrange the papers. Fifteen minutes gone by and the office was still silent. So silent that the ringing sound could be heard in Rena’s ears.

Feeling uncomfortable with the awkward silence, Rena broke it by asking Jurina a taboo question, “So....erm.... Is today really your birthday?”

Jurina placed her papers down and looked at Rena. That made Rena apologize immediately. “I’m really sorry. I shouldn’t have asked that. How stupid of me..”

“There’s no use hiding it from you anymore I guess? You saw my ID anyway..” Jurina leaned back on her seat.

“So, today really is your birthday..” Rena nodded.

“Yes it is. Only you know about this.” Jurina’s face became fierce in an instant. “If you ever, I mean EVER reveal this to anybody, even to your best friend, Watanabe Mayu, I will make sure you’ll be unemployed by any company for the rest of your life. Understood?”

“Yes, ma’am!” Rena smiled and saluted Jurina just like how a girl scout does. Rena was already getting used to Jurina’s sudden change in behaviour ever since she told her about it.

Jurina tilted her head a little and squinted at Rena. “You don’t seem afraid of me anymore.”

“Oh.. I’m slowly trying to get used to your sudden change in behaviour.”

“Tch- I shouldn’t have told you anything about my mood swings..” Jurina sneered.

“Oh yea...” Rena excitedly reached for something inside her bag and took it out. “Here...” Rena pasted a golden star sticker on Jurina’s coat.

Didn’t even take one second for Jurina to tear that sticker off her coat and showed it to Rena. “May I ask what this thing is?”

“Well, this THING is a star sticker. I carry a bunch of them with me everywhere I go. This is what I always stick on my own shirt every year on my birthday. It’s a good luck charm. Since it’s your birthday today, I’m giving one to you.” Rena took the sticker from Jurina’s hand and sticked it onto her coat for another time.

“I don’t want anything on my coat, Rena. You’re not ruining my coat for the second time.” Jurina tore the sticker out once again.

“Then paste it here.” Rena took Jurina’s left hand and pasted the golden star sticker on the back of her hand.

“......” Jurina blinked her eyes in amusement at Rena’s action before looking at the star sticker at the back of her left hand. “So you’re telling me that this star sticker is a good luck charm?”

“Yup.. It really works. And it glows in the dark too.” Rena smiled.

Jurina touched the sticker. “How long do I have to stick this for?”

“Just keep it on you for the whole day. As a charm.”

Jurina nodded. “Well, we’ll see how good this charm works.”

Just then, Jurina gets a mysterious phone call that made her furrowed her brows. “Hello? Who’s this?”   

“What’s wrong, Jurina? You can’t remember your father’s voice? Are you free today? I wanted to meet up with you, kid. I know you’re in Hawaii. Such coincidence, I’m in Hawaii today too.” The reply made Jurina’s eyes shot wide open.

She remained silent for quite some time before she swallowed her saliva and voiced out. “You......wanted to meet up with me today?”

“Of course... Why not? Today is an important day anyway.. Come on over to the Honolulu Restaurant now. Room 105. I’ll be waiting for you there, my dear daughter.” Jurina’s dad let out a soft laughter.

“Alright.. I’ll see you soon..” Realizing that Honolulu Restaurant is just a few blocks away from where her office was, Jurina ended the call with a troubled expression on her face.

“Something wrong, Jurina? You don’t look too well..” Rena seemed worried about Jurina.

“I’m sorry, Rena. I’ve to go somewhere for a meeting now.”

“Please don’t apologize.. Work are always more important. I can understand that.” Rena nodded, signifying that she understands the situation.

“You’ll stay here and arrange these paperworks for me. If you need me, I’ll be at Honolulu Restaurant. Just seven blocks away from here..” Jurina stated. “Otherwise, I’ll be in the office all night long. Lots of paperwork to do.”

“Sure. I’ll stay here and arrange these paperworks. You don’t have to worry about me. I’ll be fine. I’ll find you if there’s anything important.”

“Good. Oh, and thank you for your golden star charm, Rena.. Seems like it’s working out pretty well.” Jurina touched the golden star sticker on her hand for another time.

Jurina’s statement seemed to have caught Rena’s attention. “Hmm? Something good happened?”

“It’s nothing.. I just wanted to thank you for this good luck charm. Thank you..” Jurina gave Rena a quick hug before she made her way out of the office and to the restaurant.

“A..........A...........A........” Rena was literally frozen from Jurina’s action. Her face flashed in red instantly as she looked on at Jurina’s back profile. Her heart pumped so fast that she was going to get a heart attack anytime. It took quite some time before Rena finally come back to her senses. “What is wrong with you, Matsui Rena!?!? Why are you blushing like this!? Matsui Jurina is your boss! You can’t possibly fall for her!” She grabbed her own cheeks and pulled it as hard as possible.

“Today is an important day, huh.. Idiot father... Only remembering his daughters’ birthday after so long...” Jurina smiled a little by herself. For once, she was sincerely happy. On her way to meet her dad, Jurina notes that this is the first time in over 10 years that he remembered her birthday. “Honolulu Restaurant....”

Jurina finally stood in front of the room 105. “Here goes nothing..” Letting out a huge breath, she pushed the door open. As soon as she entered the private room, there was a long table, and she finds that her father was sitting there, smiling back at her. There were a few unfamiliar faces wearing formal clothings sitting together with her father but that didn’t bother Jurina at all. Her attention was all concentrated towards her father. Jurina’s father stood up from his chair and smiled at her. “It’s been a long time, Jurina.”

Jurina let out the most sincere smile she ever showed in a long time and thought to herself. “I don’t believe it.. My dad is actually.....standing right in front of my face... I’m not sure why but I have this fuzzy feeling within me. I thought he didn’t want the public to know about our relationship...”

At that time, one of the man stood up from his seat and walked over to them. He then introduces himself as a reporter. He enthusiastically greets Jurina, saying that he heard JuriYuki Corporation would be merging with the Matsui Corporation, he was eager to interview both of them. JuriYuki Corporation is a company owned by both Yuki and Jurina, that owns a lot of properties in Japan, and the best known property they have is the current AKB Hotel, whereby they are the CEOs there as well. Matsui Corporation on the other hand is owned by Jurina’s father. It is also a company that owns properties, but on a wider range, on an international level. As soon as Jurina heard that, her ears twitched a little. Whenever Jurina hears something that she hates a lot, her ears would twitch. She literally pointed and glared at the reporter. “I’m giving you one last chance to reintroduce yourself and tell me again the reason you’re here.”

The reporter repeated his introduction full of confidence this time. He was indeed a reporter who came here to cover the news about JuriYuki Corporation merging together with the Matsui Corporation. Jurina placed both her hands in her pocket and looked at the reporter. “So, you’re a reporter... And you’re here because the JuriYuki Corporation was going to merge with the Matsui Corporation?”

“Yes I am.” The reporter smiled and nodded.

Jurina snickered and then shifted her glance over to her father. “An important day.... That was the reason you called me out? To convince me to............merge companies with you?”

“Think about it, Jurina. You will be one of the biggest shareholder of the biggest company in the world, along with me. Just imagine the amount of money you’ll be earning.”

“I’m already earning a fortune. I don’t need more than this. If that was really the case, you seemed to have missed out the other CEO, Kashiwagi Yuki.”

“I believe you’re holding the bigger share in the company, Jurina. According to statistics, you own 51% of JuriYuki Corporation. You alone can make the decision.. It’s now or never, Jurina.” Her dad convinced.

Jurina sizes up the situation, then makes up an excuse to leave. “Sorry, I can’t stay here. I have a personal matter to attend to.” Excusing herself, she left the restaurant, leaving them all dumbfounded. It’s particularly sad, because although she would have told her father that her birthday doesn’t mean anything to her, she was obviously feeling hopeful when her father called her for a special meal together. How crushing it must be to realize that he wasn’t calling her to wish her a happy birthday, but was only doing it for his own selfish request.

Rena suddenly had an uneasy feeling in her heart as she thought of Jurina. “Why do I have a weird feeling suddenly? I think I better go check on Jurina.” Deciding to go check out on her, Rena heads off to Honolulu Restaurant to find Jurina.

Jurina’s father finds Jurina outside the restaurant, confronting her for humiliating him at the dinner. Jurina sneers that he must no longer be afraid that the truth will leak out, the truth about him having a family and left them to die. He admits openly, “What do I have to lose? To be honest, I’m considering revealing that you’re my daughter. That’ll draw some attention.” He sees her hard expression and asks, “Why, are you afraid now?”

Jurina’s father explains that he’s very ambitious about his proposal, and in order to command a lot of attention from other neighboring companies, he needs her. Understandably, Jurina’s not exactly moved by that proposal, and she jeers, “Do you love that woman that much? The reason you left me and mom was because of her money, wasn’t it?”

“I left you with everything I have! I left you with all of my money!”

“YOU LEFT US TO DIE!” Jurina replied with a scream so fierce, a vein could be seen throbbing at her temple.

“Daddy....” At that time, a little kid of about age 5 came up to Jurina’s father and grabbed onto his leg. “Daddy, this woman is scary......”

“Daddy? Who’s this little shit over here? The bitch’s son?” Jurina sneered and insulted despite the little boy being so young.

Jurina’s father answers coldly, “Don’t sneer like that. This is my son. You have no right to talk shit about him or my wife. They’re the most precious thing to me.” Ouch. Hard words to hear from your own father.

Jurina returned, “And that was the most terrible thing to me...” She turned to walk off, not wanting to continue this topic any longer.

He bursts out, “But you’re my daughter!” He makes his case, and as awful as the words are, they do have a ring of honesty about them, not that it makes them any better. “Can’t you understand me!? I had barely enough money to support your mom, let along you! Do you even know the pain of not having enough money to support even yourself!? I left because that was the only choice I had to continue living on. Yes, you probably thought it was a terrible thing because I abandoned you. But because I had no money, it was horrible for me when I almost lost my will to live!”

Not a persuasive argument to say to an abandoned child. Jurina turned around once again and faced her father, both hands curled up into a fist, the tears in her eyes belying her cool words, “All you think of is money... If you want to take credit for ever having me as a daughter, at least you should remember when that day was.”

Her reaction made him guess, “Was it today?”

Ignoring the question, Jurina walked away in a cool manner, leaving her father and her half brother standing alone outside. Only…they’re not actually alone. Rena had witnessed the exchange from the corner, and clapped a hand over her mouth in horror.

Jurina’s coldness to her father was really a front to cover her hurt, because once back to her office, she slumped against the wall, her bravado crumbling completely into dust. She literally tried in vain to choke back her tears. She doesn’t want to give in to the tears, because she doesn’t want to admit that her father has that kind of hold over her, but she can’t help it. She kept her family photo in her wallet because she actually had hope that her father would want her again. With tears running out continuously from her eyes, Jurina took out her family photo, crumpled it and tossed it at the wall. Her hope was completely shattered by the very man who gave life to her. The strong and intimidating Jurina is no more. She's completely in pain and sorrow. The state of being utmost vulnerable state that no one would be expecting from her. It was like a whole brand new side from her. From the strong figure woman, she became like a helpless child that needed someone to embrace her.

Rena, who followed Jurina back to her office secretly, stood down the hall, witnessing her pain and teared up. Rena was speechless. No words could explain these feelings in her heart after watching Jurina's vulnerable state. So hectic inside her mind and only but remain in silence is something she could do. Nothing can be done more than that. Staring at the glowing golden star on Jurina’s left hand, Rena placed her right hand over her chest. “My star is crying in the dark. And it makes my heart aches a lot. What should I do?”


Chapter 9
END



P.S. : Ready to see a cute side of Rena in the next chapter~ XD

P.S.S. : I'm going to do a collab OS with katekyohit after this, so Chapter 10 MIGHT be delayed a bit.. =P

I don't remember the last time I commmented on your fic XD well yeah ok let's start commenting .
well well about Atsumina
Quote
“Erm, excuse me...” Somebody tapped on Atsuko’s shoulder softly. As she turn her head, she saw that it was an American teenage boy. “Erm.... Maeda Atsuko?” The teenage boy asked in English. He tried to use his English as simple as possible so that Atsuko could understand him. Well, Atsuko isn’t really fluent in English, so Atsuko was kinda happy that he was considerate
LOLOLOLOLOL Of course He must use simple words. Acchan and her English  :mon lol:

Quote
“Yes..” Atsuko nodded and answered back in English.

“Erm.... Can I have an autograph please? I’m a fan.” The teenage boy showed Atsuko one of her albums and showed it to her.

“Ah... Fan..... Ok ok...” Understanding the boy’s request, she took out her permanent marker and gave the boy an autograph. She always brings a permanent marker with her everywhere she goes just in case there’s a spontaneous autograph session like now.
MEEEEE TOOOO!!!!  :mon blowhorn: autograph!! please Acchaaaan!!!!  :mon whine:

Quote
“Can you sign an autograph for me too?” This time a lady voiced out to her in Japanese language.

“Sure..” Atsuko took the album from the lady’s hand and signed her autograph and smiled as she passed the album back to the owner. “Here you go..”
I have this weird feeling that I know who is this Lady  :mon dunno:

Quote
Atsuko lost her smile right away as soon as she saw the owner’s face.

“Hi, Atsuko..” There Takamina stood, smiling brightly at her.

What the hell Minami is doing her!!  :mon uggh: She wants to make Acchan suffer again!!  :mon mad:

Quote
“Minami!!” Atsuko shot up from her seat and released a slap on her face before the shorter girl had any chance to talk back.

After recovering from the slap, Minami looked back at Atsuko once again. “You can slap me all you want. I will never go away.”
YEAH!! give her an other one!!  :mon evil:

Quote
“You think I won’t do it?” Atsuko raised her hand once again, and it made Minami flinched a little. After letting out a loud and annoyed sigh, Atsuko lowered her hand and asked, “What are you even doing here, Minami...”

“I told you before, I will not leave your side.”
Too bad I really wanted an other slap why Acchan WHYYYY!!  :mon nwei:

Quote
“I told you before, I will not leave your side.”

“You followed me all the way to Hawaii? Are you serious? I came all the way here so I don’t have to look at your face.” Atsuko was dumbfounded.

“I overheard your conversation that you’re going to Hawaii, so I decided to come along. As I reached the airport, I overheard some of your Japanese fans talking about you and asked them about it. They told me that you were staying in HKT Hotel with four more ladies. So, I came.. And here you are.. At the beach..” Minami shrugged.

“You’re a stalker and you’re annoying. Go away. I’m not going to talk to you.”

“It’s alright. You don’t have to talk to me. I won’t expect any reply from you, but please just hear me out.”

“I don’t want to hear either. Get lost.” Atsuko warned.
Wow  :mon pick: I didn't know that Minami is stalker like me oups! forget what I said  :mon lurk:

Quote
“I love you, Atsuko.”

“No, you don’t. You love Tom-”

Atsuko did not get to complete her sentence as Minami grabbed Atsuko for a kiss. A soft, gentle kiss. Atsuko blushed a lot from the kiss. Most likely because she had not expected a kiss from Minami at a time like this.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW~~  :mon lovelaff: :mon lovelaff: :mon lovelaff:

Quote
“Minami......” A soft voice escaped from Atsuko’s mouth and she slowly pushed Minami away from her. “Please don’t do this to me, Minami.. Don’t make me feel confused any more than this..”

“I wouldn’t kiss you if I don’t love you, Atsuko.. I can swear to god that I have never kissed Tomochin before because the one I love wasn’t her. It was you.”
Acchan !! Minami loves you!!  :mon waterworks: :mon waterworks: :mon nwei:

Quote
“Because she knows.”

“Huh?” Atsuko was confused.

“Tomochin knows about us.. Our relationship. She told me if I did not play along with her games, she would announce to the media that we’re in a relationship.”

“Then let her do that! I don’t care about-”

“I care, Atsuko! I care! Singing had always been your dream. I don’t want you to give up your dream just to be with me. This just isn’t fair for you..” Minami caressed Atsuko’s cheek.

“Minami.... Seeing you with another woman is what isn’t fair for me.. If I were to lose you to another woman... I’d rather lose my celebrity life instead. I don’t want them. I just want......you...” Atsuko teared up.
THAT TOMOMI UGHHHHHH!!!  :mon mad: :mon mad:

Quote
Atsuko’s mood just became brightened by Minami’s gesture and they made their way to town to do some shopping. Atsuko did not care about her celebrity identity anymore. Minami was all she wanted. She finally got Minami back and will hold on to her till the end of time. Atsuko’s future in the entertainment industry still remains unknown. But that’s definitely not what she cares about at this point. For now, she just wanted to go on a date with the woman she loved.
all's well that ends well  :gmon love2: :gmon sing: :gmon sweet:

WUT HKT in Hawaii OwO!
Quote
“Yuki, I believe that’s not how CEOs act. Come back to our senses. You’re humiliating me.” Jurina was looking over some of the paperworks and documents from the meeting they just came back from.

“Geez, Jurina... Why must you be so serious? We came to Hawaii to let ourselves go, didn’t we?” Yuki clinged her arm onto Jurina.“I’m not angry... Not angry at all..” Mayu was smiling. Only that her hands were choking Rena at the same time.

I'm not angry too Mayu...  :mon evil: :mon evil: :mon evil:

Quote
“Yuki, please. We’re in HKT Hotel now, one of our hotel branch. We’re the CEOs of AKB Hotel. We should show a good example to them, not destroy our image. Get it? If you want to loose yourself, go loose yourself somewhere else, just not here, alright?” Jurina continued accessing the documents.

“Let’s go loose ourselves together at the beach then.” Yuki suggested.

Jurina sighed. “Can’t you see these paperworks? I’m still busy now, Yuki. Just because you have no paperworks to take care of, doesn’t mean I have no paperworks.”

“You’re no fun, Jurina..” Yuki slumped herself on the couch and pouted.

“How about you stop bothering me now and I’ll buy you an ice cream later on?” Jurina suggested.

“How about you buy it for me now and I’ll stop bothering you?” Yuki returned with a sarcastic voice.

“I’m busy, Yuki.. See this? P.A.P.E.R.W.O.R.K.” Jurina lifted her pile of documents and showed it to Yuki.

why Jurina is like this!?!!! I dun like her personality at all!!!!!  :mon annoy: :mon annoy: :mon annoy:

Quote
“Hmph! I’m not going to talk to you for the rest of the day, Jurina.” Yuki stood up from her seat and grabbed Mayu’s hand.

Mayu looked at Yuki’s face, then her hand, then her face, then her hand again. “You’re holding my hand....” Mayu was literally beaming in happiness.

“Rena, she’s holding my hand now! Oh, it’s like those romantic scenes from dramas..” Mayu said as she was dragged away by Yuki.

“Doesn’t seem like a romantic scene to me at all...” Rena looked on at Yuki dragging Mayu out of the hotel like how a mother would drag a child.
Poor Mayu she is only a replacement  :mon ehh: well only for now  :mon determined:

Quote
“Erm.... Do you think maybe you’re treating Yuki a little too harsh?”
“This is work, Rena. If Yuki doesn’t understand that this is more important, then I’ll have nothing to say.”
Of course you are harsh!!!  :mon fierce:

Quote
“No ice creams can cool me down now..” Yuki seemed really angry.

“Oh, look.. An ice cream store over there.” Mayu pointed at a man selling ice cream at the beach.

“OH ICE CREAM!!!” Yuki rushed towards the man immediately. Well, maybe she wasn’t that mad after all. Mayu finds Yuki’s love for ice cream really amusing. She could be really angry at this very moment. Ice cream appears, and BOOM.. Angry Yuki’s gone.
It's funny how can Yuki's mood change very fast because of ice cream  :mon lmao: :mon lmao:

Quote
“Oh my god, look at you.. You have sand even on your hair.” Mayu giggled as she gently swiped the sands off her hair.

“..........”

“Yuki?” Mayu realized that Yuki looked stunned.

“It’s those beautiful eyes again..... Those sincere and pure eyes...” Yuki blinked.
Is it me or .....  :mon psst: :mon psst:

Quote
“Oh, wow god damn it, she’s so heavy...” Mayu thought to herself and literally gritted her teeth as Yuki finally landed on her back. Trying her best to cover her expression, she smiled back at Yuki and started walking. “See? You’re not that heavy at all.. This is nothing..”

Yuki definitely knew that Mayu was straining herself as she felt her whole body vibrating from the aount of strength exerted. “Erm.... Mayu? Are you ok?”

“What do you mean? Of course I’m ok..” Mayu smiled. Even her lips vibrated a little.

“Mayu, your face is all red..” Yuki pointed out.

“No, it’s not.. It’s just the sun shining on my face.”

“Put me down, Mayu..” Yuki patted Mayu’s shoulder.

“No, I’m not putting you down.” Mayu insisted.

“Put me down, Mayu! This is an order from your boss!” Yuki raised her voice.

“Like you said, Yuki.. This isn’t AKB Hotel..”

Sooo cute Mayu is trying hard to do her best for her Yuki  :mon lovelaff: :mon lovelaff: :mon lmao: :mon lmao: :mon lmao:

Quote
Mayu smiled, being satisfied that she finally won against Yuki. “Well, nobody asked you to fall and sprain your ankle.”

“And whose fault is that, huh?” Yuki smacks Mayu’s shoulder.

“Hey... This all started because you knocked my ice cream down..” Mayu answered and Yuki didn’t seem to like it.

“Excuse me? If you had not chased after me, I wouldn’t have fell down. So it’s your fault. Your fault! Your fault! Your fault!” Yuki smacked Mayu’s shoulder for every time ‘fault’ was mentioned. “And I’m your boss. You’re not supposed to speak to me like that. When I say it’s your fault, it’s your fault.”

“Alright, alright.. It’s my fault..” Mayu gave up.

“That’s what I wanted to hear..” Yuki smiled in satisfaction of her victory.
Somehow Yuki makes me remember Sakura  :mon duh: :mon duh:

Quote
“Mayu, you sure you don’t want to put me down? You really are going to get hurt, you know?” Yuki asked once again but with a softer tone as she was concerned about her a little.

“Put you down and let you get hurt instead? Not a chance. I’d rather get hurt myself than to see the woman I like a lot get hurt..”

*BA DUMP*

“That’s sweet of you, Mayu.. Thank you..” Yuki spoke out in a soft tone as she laid her head on Mayu’s back while tightening her grip on her. Mayu felt Yuki’s hug tightened and she was literally smiling on her own.

“So.... Yuki? I was thinking.....if you want to go on another date with me..” Mayu shyly spoke out.

“Date? Aren’t we already on a date right now?” Yuki’s sentence made Mayu skipped a heartbeat and almost made her lose strength in her legs. The silence came once again. The sound of the birds chirping and the sound of the waves itself were soothing and calming.

Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!  :mon inluv: :mon inluv: :mon lovelaff: :mon lovelaff: it wasn't only me!! Yuki is falling for Mayuuuuuu!!!  :mon crazyinlove: :mon crazyinlove: :mon crazyinlove:

Quote
“So, when’s your birthday?” Mayu asked out of the blue to cut the silence.

“...........”

“Yuki?” Mayu turned her head back softly and noticed that Yuki had dozed off laying on her back like a comfortable pillow.

“Oops... Better not make any more noises..” Mayu thought as she made her way slowly back to the hotel, step by step so that she doesn’t wake Yuki up.

ssshut Yuki is sleeping! don't wake her  :monk gboy:

and about WMatsui...

Quote
Jurina unlocked the door of her personal office room and entered. She then looked at Rena who was hesitant to enter the office room. “Rena? You don’t expect me to send an invitation letter for you to come in, right?”

“N-No..” Rena came into the room and closed the door.

“Why were you standing outside the door?”

“Because I’ve never been into a CEO’s office before.. It’s kinda......pressuring..”

“Pressuring? I’m going to imbue lots of pressure on you if you don’t sit down right now and help me arrange these papers.” Jurina stated.
it's really funny how can Rena react in from Jurina. SHe is not the same person as you discribed in the 1st chapter  :mon dunno:

Quote
“Yes it is. Only you know about this.” Jurina’s face became fierce in an instant. “If you ever, I mean EVER reveal this to anybody, even to your best friend, Watanabe Mayu, I will make sure you’ll be unemployed by any company for the rest of your life. Understood?”

“Yes, ma’am!” Rena smiled and saluted Jurina just like how a girl scout does. Rena was already getting used to Jurina’s sudden change in behaviour ever since she told her about it.

OMG Jurina you're really meaaan!! too harsh!!  :mon runcry: :mon runcry: :mon runcry:

Quote
Jurina tilted her head a little and squinted at Rena. “You don’t seem afraid of me anymore.”

“Oh.. I’m slowly trying to get used to your sudden change in behaviour.”

“Tch- I shouldn’t have told you anything about my mood swings..” Jurina sneered.
Poor Rena has to deal with Jurina's mood swings  :mon POd: :mon hanky:

Quote
“I don’t want anything on my coat, Rena. You’re not ruining my coat for the second time.” Jurina tore the sticker out once again.

“Then paste it here.” Rena took Jurina’s left hand and pasted the golden star sticker on the back of her hand.

“......” Jurina blinked her eyes in amusement at Rena’s action before looking at the star sticker at the back of her left hand. “So you’re telling me that this star sticker is a good luck charm?”

“Yup.. It really works. And it glows in the dark too.” Rena smiled.
Soo cuuute of Rena~~  :mon inluv: :mon inluv: :mon innocent: Jurina shut up Jurina and take it!  :mon wtfmm:

Quote
“It’s nothing.. I just wanted to thank you for this good luck charm. Thank you..” Jurina gave Rena a quick hug before she made her way out of the office and to the restaurant.

“A..........A...........A........” Rena was literally frozen from Jurina’s action. Her face flashed in red instantly as she looked on at Jurina’s back profile. Her heart pumped so fast that she was going to get a heart attack anytime. It took quite some time before Rena finally come back to her senses. “What is wrong with you, Matsui Rena!?!? Why are you blushing like this!? Matsui Jurina is your boss! You can’t possibly fall for her!” She grabbed her own cheeks and pulled it as hard as possible.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHH  :mon lmao: :mon lmao: :mon lmao: KAWAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!  :mon lovelaff: :mon lovelaff: :mon inluv: :mon inluv:

Quote
Jurina snickered and then shifted her glance over to her father. “An important day.... That was the reason you called me out? To convince me to............merge companies with you?”

“Think about it, Jurina. You will be one of the biggest shareholder of the biggest company in the world, along with me. Just imagine the amount of money you’ll be earning.”

“I’m already earning a fortune. I don’t need more than this. If that was really the case, you seemed to have missed out the other CEO, Kashiwagi Yuki.”

“I believe you’re holding the bigger share in the company, Jurina. According to statistics, you own 51% of JuriYuki Corporation. You alone can make the decision.. It’s now or never, Jurina.” Her dad convinced.
THAT MAN!!! Jurina was really happy to see him yet he was only thinking of himself!!  :mon mad: :mon mad: :mon fire: :mon fire:

Quote
Rena suddenly had an uneasy feeling in her heart as she thought of Jurina. “Why do I have a weird feeling suddenly? I think I better go check on Jurina.” Deciding to go check out on her, Rena heads off to Honolulu Restaurant to find Jurina.
YES!! Rena !! Jurina needs yaaa!!  :mon cute: :mon cute: :mon cute:

Quote
“Daddy....” At that time, a little kid of about age 5 came up to Jurina’s father and grabbed onto his leg. “Daddy, this woman is scary......”

“Daddy? Who’s this little shit over here? The bitch’s son?” Jurina sneered and insulted despite the little boy being so young.
even so I think Jurina shouldn't have said that in front of that kid  :mon whine:

Quote
Rena, who followed Jurina back to her office secretly, stood down the hall, witnessing her pain and teared up. Rena was speechless. No words could explain these feelings in her heart after watching Jurina's vulnerable state. So hectic inside her mind and only but remain in silence is something she could do. Nothing can be done more than that. Staring at the glowing golden star on Jurina’s left hand, Rena placed her right hand over her chest. “My star is crying in the dark. And it makes my heart aches a lot. What should I do?”

I want to hug Jurina right now  :mon cry: :mon cry: Rena do something  :mon whine: :mon whine:

well well well it was good chapter which made me laugh so much  :mon fyeah: and almost cry  :mon hanky:

Sorry for the late update, people~ I've been busy  :P :P :P
So here, I present to you, Chapter 10~! CHEERS~!  :banana: :pepper: :leek: :taco: :muffin: :strawberry: :lock:
But a note before you read, this chapter is only about WMATSUI, I repeat, THIS CHAPTER IS ONLY ABOUT WMATSUI.

________________________________________

CHAPTER 10


After witnessing the uncomfortable father-daughter scene, Rena remains out of sight, figuring that she’d better not let on that she knows about it. Jurina brooded alone in her office, working on her paperwork but feeling the weight of her unpleasant encounter. Rena could tell that she was completely depressed because of the fact that she doesn’t question about Rena’s whereabouts. I doubt at this time, Jurina still remembered that she had left Rena here before.

Rena lamented her inability to help, thinking, “Is she okay? It’s her birthday, and she must be feeling hurt.. I’m really useless.” Rena continued peeking into Jurina’s office and saw her drinking her water and setting aside an empty bottle. Rena then seizes on one thing she can do. Get her more water! Rena dashed out of the building and into a convenience store to buy more water, then raced back into the building.

Remaining out of sight, Rena sneaked behind a column and waited for Jurina to leave her office for a toilet break before she swapped in the new water. Rena then ran and hid behind the column once again. Jurina came back to her office and unconsciously took the new water bottle and drank from it. After drinking it, only did she realize that it was a new water bottle. Jurina rubbed her forehead and tried to remember the last time she placed a new bottle here. Well, of course she couldn’t remember because she wasn’t the one who put it there in the first place. Jurina thought her mind must be playing tricks with her. So, she decided not to give it any more thought and continued assessing her paperworks.

“She drank the water... The water I bought was of good use..” Rena felt satisfied deep within and continued peeping into Jurina’s office from behind the column.

At that time, her office fluorescent light started flickering uncontrollably. Jurina walked towards the switch and switched it off and on again, but it didn’t help. She seemed really annoyed by the flickering light. “Why does bad things only happen to me today..”
“The lights are annoying her...” Rena rushed out to buy new fluorescent lights. As she returned with a new fluorescent light, she hid behind the column once again and peeked into Jurina’s office. To her surprise, Jurina wasn’t in and seizes this opportunity to change the light as fast as she could. By the time Jurina comes back with a replacement light, it’s already been fixed. This is really odd, and she now registers that water had also been replaced by someone. Testing out her suspicions, she says loudly, “Ah, I feel like drinking a really hot coffee all of a sudden. Starbucks would be nice..”

Once again, Rena seizes upon her task and ran out to buy some. “Starbucks... I think I remembered seeing a Starbucks store somewhere around here...”

Luck was on her sight as she found a Starbucks shop just as she remembered and entered. “One Triple Espresso.”

After getting the Triple Espresso, Rena came back to Jurina’s office building and hid behind the column once again and peeked at her office room. Strangely, Jurina wasn’t there but Rena was not suspicious at all.

“Good thing she isn’t here...” Rena quietly entered the room without make any noises and placed the Triple Espresso on the table before sneaking her way out. The only thing is that, as she was trying to exit the room, she was blocked by something standing by the room door.

“J-J-J-Jurina.........” Rena’s mind just went blank for a moment. The scene was like the owner of the house catching the robber red-handed.

“So you’re the one who who had been lurking around all night? I should have known it was you when I came back and you’re not here...” Suddenly, a thought occurs to her. “Yea.... Why WEREN’T you here? Where did you go?”

“I was bored.... So I just went out for a walk..” Rena’s voice was shaking a little and Jurina saw a sweat roll down from her temple.

Jurina was not convinced fully with Rena’s answer and asked suspiciously, “So, you went out for a walk.... Did you.....happen to see something?” thinking of her conversation with her dad.

Rena took a moment to think of a good answer before admitting, “T-There were a lot of stars.. It was beautiful.”

“Did you SEE something?” Jurina asked Rena once again but with her eyes widened in anger.

“N-No, of course... What else could I have seen?” Rena smiled nervously and Jurina could immediately tell that Rena was lying.

“Rena?” Jurina placed both her hands on Rena’s shoulder and moved her head closer to Rena’s face. “I hate liars. So, I’m going to ask you ONE.LAST.TIME. Did you see something?”

There was basically nothing else Rena could answer as of now. Jurina is not stupid. She could see through Rena’s lies just like this. In the end, Rena could not hold back her lies and admitted. “I-I’m sorry, Jurina... I..... It was an accident, I swear.. I was just looking for you and accidentally saw you and your dad arguing...”

Jurina finally let her grip off Rena and turned her back against Rena. She closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead. “Of all people in the world to witness this... It just has to be you..”

“I’m really sorry, Jurina.. I didn’t mean to have witnessed that horrible scene.” Rena really felt guilty and apologized continuously.

“Alright. That’s enough. Stop apologizing. There’s nothing else I can do if you already witnessed it. Just keep your mouth shut and pretend nothing happened. Got it?” Jurina ordered.

“You don’t have to worry. I am very good with secrets. If I were to tell anybody about this, you can hire an assassin to kill me. It doesn’t matter.”

“Don’t think I won’t, Rena.” Jurina coldly responded with a blank face and it made Rena gulped.

Rena then placed the coffee on the table and reached inside her bag once again. She then looked at Jurina and said hesitantly, “I’m not sure if this will make you angry, but here, I’m giving you another one..” Rena took out another golden star sticker and handed it over to Jurina. “I just thought maybe you needed another one..”

Jurina did not respond and merely looked at the star sticker before looking back at Rena’s face with a blank expression. “You know... This sticker had given me nothing but bad luck so far...”

Noticing that Jurina did not seem to like it, Rena felt sorry for causing yet more trouble. “I’m so sorry to do stupid things like this even when you’re in such a bad mood. Feel free to treat me as badly as you wish until you’re over your anger...”

Rena’s understanding attitude made Jurina furrow her eyebrows “If you say it like that, it makes me sound like someone who enjoys abusing you..”

“That’s not what I meant though.. I just wanted you to release your anger.. Holding in your anger is really unhealthy..”

“I know my own health better than you do, Rena. I’m pretty sure my health is still in perfect condition.” Jurina replied sarcastically.

Rena shrugged. “I’m just trying my best to care for you... I hope you don’t mind me asking, but does your dad have anything to do with your fake birthday?” Rena asked softly.

Jurina nodded. “I created a fake birthday because that’s what my dad told me to do when I was really young. He told me that his job doesn’t allow the workers to have children. So I have to act like he wasn’t my father the whole time and he rarely comes home. Apparently I was too young to understand him too well at that time. But as I grew older, I started to understand why he did all this. He was having an affair with a rich woman and he didn’t want the woman to know that he had a family.”

“Why did you continue using your fake birthday date after that then?”

“I kept my birthday as a secret all these years because......I actually thought that if I continue hiding this identity of mine, he would want me back sooner or later because that’s what he wants from me. At the same time, I hoped all these years that he would remember his own daughter’s birthday....but apparently, he doesn’t. The only thing he cares about now is his new family!” Jurina shouted and knocked the stationery set off the table in anger. “It’s good that I created a fake birthday for myself though. I don’t have to acknowledge the very day he had me as a daughter anymore.”

“I understand how you’re feeling right now, Jurina... But you can’t just ignore your real birthday just like that. Every birthday must be celebrated happily with someone else. Not alone in the room like this. We should go celebrate your birthday right now.” Rena suggested with her face full of excitement.

“No, Rena. I don’t need any birthday celebration. It’s been like this for most of the years I’ve been living. I’m already used to it. And I still have this much paperwork to do.” Jurina held up her stack of documents, signifying that she has no intentions to leave her working desk.

Rena felt a little frustrated that Jurina did not want to celebrate her own birthday and rather stay in her office and assess her documents. “It’s 8pm now. There’s still time. Come on. Come on.” Rena dragged Jurina off her desk.

“Let go of me, Rena. I already told you that I don’t want to celebrate my birthday. Don’t make me repeat m-”

“Here, hold this.” Rena took the Triple Espresso and placed it on Jurina’s hand. “Take a sip and let go of your paperworks for now. Ok?”

“W-Wha-?” This was the first time Jurina actually looked so confused and felt so dumbfounded. Rena finally managed to drag Jurina out of the office building with the Triple Espresso still in her hand.

“Jeez, you’re really a stubborn one, aren’t you?” Jurina furrowed her brows at Rena. Jurina didn’t need anything to celebrate his birthday, but Rena insisted.

Jurina realizes that she wouldn’t be able to drag the all-excited Rena back into the office no matter what the reason is now so she decided to give in to Rena. “Alright. I give up.”

Rena clapped her hands excitedly like a small kid. “Yay! So, is there a place you would like to go or something? Or anything you would like to eat?”

“I’m always the one deciding things around and giving out orders to my employees. So, this time for once, I’m giving you the authority to decide for me. Everything that happens from now till 12am tonight will all be decided by you.” They both took a seat at a nearby park.

Rena smiled at Jurina’s statement and gave it a thought. “You’re the one who told me to decide. So, you must do whatever I decide on. Ok?”

Jurina took a sip from her cup of Triple Espresso and smiled sarcastically at Rena. “Amaze me.” From her expression, Jurina really did not expect much from Rena.

“Alright... Let’s start with recreating the celebration from your ‘fake birthday’.” Rena offered.

“Recreating the celebration from my birthday, huh? Alright then. You should book a grand hall large enough to accommodate a few hundred of our employees with food served by some of the finest chefs in the world, and a five layer cake made personally by Mariko.”

“O-Oh... I didn’t realize that you went to such lengths for your birthday...” Rena panicked for a short moment, but she is not daunted. “Alright. Let’s forget all about that grand celebration you had and celebrate it my way. All Japanese birthdays should start with eating sekihan.”

“Seki- what?” Jurina sounded confused.

“Wait here a moment.” Rena rushed to a nearby Japanese convenience store. Of course, at this hour, out of Japan, the only way to get any is the instant kind at a Japanese convenience store. It wasn’t easy to find, but somehow Rena managed to find it. About fifteen minutes later, Rena came back with a plastic bowl filled with some kind of red colored rice and placed it on the table in front of Jurina.

Jurina didn’t seem to fancy this bowl of rice that Rena brought. “What’s this supposed to be?”

“Sekihan.. It’s a traditional food eaten on birthdays. My grandmother makes this for me every year on my birthday.” Rena smiled.

Jurina scooped some of the rice up and took a closer look at it. “What’s the red stuff in this rice?”

“Red beans. Sekihan is sticky rice boiled with azuki beans which gives a reddish color to the rice, and hence, the name sekihan (red rice).”

Jurina immediately placed the rice back into the bowl and crossed her arms. “Red beans... Did you know I’m allergic to red beans?”

“Oh.....” Rena scratched her temple and cursed herself for not finding out about this sooner. She actually thought that her plans were running smoothly.

Jurina said with a dry expression carved on her face, “Thanks to you, I would have died on my birthday.”

“I’m sorry..” Rena apologized.

“Forget it. I don’t expect you to know about this either. You can eat it if you want.” Jurina pushed the bowl of rice towards Rena. She was forced to finish the bowl of rice in embarrassment.

“Ok. What now?” Jurina took a sip from her Triple Espresso and looked at Rena.

Okay, so sekihan is a no-go, but Rena didn’t lose her confidence and proceeded to the next step, which is to get presents. “We’re going to get what everyone needs on their birthday. Presents. Let’s buy you a present.”

They walked along the sidewalk, passing by shop after shop. Unfortunately their options were pretty limited because it was night time. That was when Rena saw a stationery store beside a bakery store. The kind with cutesy pink notebooks and pens designed to appeal to young girls. “Hmm... They might have some nice things here.. Wanna go in and check it out?”

“It’s a stationary store...” Jurina furrowed her brows at Rena.

“You said it. I decide. So, I decide stationary store. Come on.” Rena pulled Jurina into the store and walked over to the sticker section.

One wall of stickers and knickknacks caught Rena’s eye — it’s filled with fluffy and pink merchandise.

“This looks cute. What do you think?” Rena showed a pack of pink fluffy stickers at Jurina.

“It’s too fluffy.” Jurina answered with a dry tone and a face that does not show any interest before taking a sip of coffee.

“What about this?” Rena held up a hot pink colored notebook.

“Too pink.”

A key chain. “Too common.”

A calender. “Too bothersome.”

A pog. “Why the hell would anybody want something like that?”

A unicorn pencil case. “Too childish.”

“Sometimes, being childish is a good thing..”

“Yea, but not with a unicorn pencil case. Do you expect me to go to a meeting with this pencil box? I sure won’t.” Jurina stated.

“Hmm.... Ah... Found something..” Rena grabbed something. She then proceeded to the counter and paid for it before returning to Jurina.

“You bought something without my consent. Why are you so sure that I would want what you bought?”

“Because I believe that you might need this. Here you go.” Rena took out a star-shaped cardboard. “You can write your wish on this star and your wish will come true. Just keep it with you at all times. Just like the star sicker I gave you earlier.”

“So you’re telling me if I write a wish on this star, it will come true? What if it doesn’t come true?”

“Well, then at least you still can use it as a bookmark, right?” Rena shrugged.

“Hmm... Alright, then. I’ll accept this present from you. I shall see what wish I need in the future.” Jurina nodded and took the star from Rena’s hand and kept it in her pocket. “So altogether, I received two presents from you today. A ‘good luck charm’ star sticker and a ‘wish come true’ star cardboard.”

“I’m glad you like them.” Rena smiled in satisfaction. “So emm... About the lucky star sticker... How is it working so far?”

“This?” Jurina touched the sticker on her hand. “I have to say it started off pretty badly...” She then looked up at Rena and smiled sincerely. “But I guess I can slowly feel the luck coming back to me.”

Rena was literally happy that the charm was starting to work for Jurina. “Oh, good to hear that.”

“Ok, I already have the present. Now what?”

“Now, we’re going to get something everybody must have on a birthday...”

“A birthday cake.” Jurina answered.

“Ding Ding Ding! Correct! $1000 for the successful and smart young lady in the suit.” Rena stated loudly as if she was hosting some sort of game show.

Jurina did not know if Rena was trying to be sarcastic or trying to be funny, but either way, it made her chuckle a little. “The bakery store next door is still open. Wanna check it out?”

“Bravo! $2000 for the lady in black for reading my mind. Wooo!!” Rena started cheering and clapping on her own. She was trying all sorts of way to cheer Jurina up and it does seem to work to some extent.

As they entered the bakery next door, Rena confronted the shopkeeper in English. “Excuse me, miss. Do you have any cake left?”

“Cupcake or birthday cake?” The shopkeeper asked.

“A birthday cake for this beautiful young lady over here.” Rena pointed at Jurina.

“I’m sorry, miss. We’re out of stock for the birthday cakes.. We’re only left with cupcakes.”

“Well, there’s no choice then.. I guess cupcake will do. I’ll have one.” Rena smiled.

“...” Both Rena and Jurina stared at the cupcake with a blank expression. There was one lit candle on the cupcake.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t get a birthday cake for you.” Rena sighed and felt apologetic.

“No worries. It may not be a birthday cake, but a cupcake is still a cake.. And your English is really fluent. Not bad...”

“I work as a receptionist in one of the best international hotels in the world. Of course my English has to be good. Well, then.. Make a wish.” Rena smiled.

Jurina closed her eyes and clasped her hands together, mumbling her wish to herself before blowing the candle. Rena then clapped her hands. “So, what did you wish for?”

Jurina raised an eyebrow. “Mind your own business, Rena.”

Rena pouted a little as her curiosity remained unanswered. “Ok, fine... So, we should divide the cake in two?”

Rena took a plastic knife she received from the shopkeeper and attempted to cut the cake in half. Jurina immediately noticed that Rena had the wrong angle. Just when Rena was about to push her hand down to cut the cake, Jurina held onto Rena’s hand to stop her from cutting the cake. Rena was stunned from Jurina’s action as her face flashed red. “W-What are you doing?”

“Why are you so bad at this?” Ignoring Rena’s facial colour change, Jurina adjusted Rena’s hand a little and pushed her hand down, cutting the cake in half. “There. Equally distributed.”

When Jurina let go of Rena’s hand, Rena was still frozen in her action for a short moment and thought to herself. “She held my hand...”

By the time Rena came back to her senses, Jurina had already eaten her share of the cupcake. Noticing this, Rena decided to eat her share as well. Right before Rena could reach for the cake, Jurina had already taken Rena’s piece and placed it into her own mouth. Rena had her mouth wide open from Jurina’s action. “You just ate my cake.”

“That’s not your cake. It’s my cake.” Jurina stated after she swallowed the cake whole.

“Birthday cakes are supposed to be shared with someone else. Not eat it by yourself.”

“As far as I know, this is a cupcake. Not a birthday cake. So, I don’t have to share it with you. Welcome to the real world, Rena. If you want something, you have to be fast and fight for it or you’re gonna lose out on everything.”

“But this is just a cake...” Rena didn’t understand why a cake has to be compared with a real life scenario.

“We’re done here. Let’s go.”

Moving on to the next step, Rena decided to bring Jurina to the top of a hill for some star gazing. They found their way to the hill using Rena’s GPS system in her phone. “Seems like this is the entrance of the hill.”

The steps up the hill seemed never-ending. About 15minutes climbing up the hill, they finally reached the top of the hill where the beautiful night scenery of the city could be seen. Not to mention the starry night of the sky. Rena was amused by the beauty of the scenery. “Wow.. It’s beautiful. No wonder this hill is a tourist attraction. Look at the number of stars tonight..”

“Where? I can’t see anything..” Jurina tried squinting her eyes as much as she could but she still couldn’t see it.

“Huh? It’s everywhere!” Rena pointed at the sky.

“I have a minor case of night blindness, Rena. I can’t see tiny spots in the black sky. I’m basically looking at nothing. What are we even doing here?” Jurina exclaimed, being confused at what are they even doing, staring blankly at the darkness.

“You’re not much of a romantic person, aren’t you?” Rena filled her mouth with air and squinted her eyes at Jurina being frustrated with her pickiness. “Well at least the night scenery of the city is beautiful.. You can see that, right?”

“I live in a city. So, this doesn’t amaze me much actually. What now? Are we going to continue staring at the dark or are we going to leave?” Jurina was pushing Rena’s buttons.

Rena was a little disappointed as Jurina wasn’t showing any sign of interest at all. Maybe she was just too traumatized by her father that nothing could cheer her up anymore at this point. I mean, any normal human will be amazed by a beautiful scenery like this but Jurina just brushed it off like it’s just another common scenery.

“Well, you must be done with the darkness gazing. So let’s move on.” Jurina turned around and started leaving the area, leaving Rena dumbfounded.

Rena grabbed some dry leaves and tossed them at Jurina’s back profile, causing the lady to stop right in her tracks and turned her head back slowly. “Did you just throw leaves at me?”

Rena was trying to act dumb, with her eyes rolling up and down, left and right while ignoring Jurina’s statement.

“Alright, fine. Don’t do it again. I’m not in the mood for games.” Jurina warned and turned around again.

Once again, Jurina’s back was hit by some leaves. Being annoyed, Jurina looked back at Rena with her arms open wide. “Why did you throw leaves at me, huh? Is it that fun?”

“No I didn’t. Since when did I throw leaves at you?” Rena blinked her eyes at Jurina, faking her innocence. “You can’t prove that I-”

*SPISH*

Rena’s face was hit by a wave of dry leaves suddenly. As she was talking at that time, some dry leaves entered her mouth, causing her to cough while spitting the leaves out of her mouth.

“An eye for an eye. That’s my concept. You’ll get back what you throw at me.” Jurina snickered at Rena spitting some dry leaves out of her mouth.

“Blergh-” Rena wiped her tongue with a piece of tissue and looked back at Jurina. “I only threw it at your back. Not in your mouth.”

“So you WERE throwing leaves at me.” Jurina crossed her arms and smiled in satisfaction for exposing Rena.

“......” Rena couldn’t say anything right now because Jurina tricked her into telling the truth. Without another word, Rena took another patch of leaves and tossed it at Jurina. “Take this!”

Jurina returned the gesture. “You’re not supposed to throw leaves at your employer!”

Rena argued while continued tossing leaves at Jurina. “And you’re not supposed to throw leaves at your employee. That’s abusing your power!”

Both Rena and Jurina continued their leaf-tossing game as they got nearer and nearer to each other. Jurina started laughing at the amount of leaves that entered Rena’s mouth as she started making weird faces to get rid of them. “That’s what you get for messing around with your higher-ups.”

They used the leaf-fight to annoy each other. It didn’t take long till things started to escalate quickly. As they were close enough, Jurina wrestled Rena to the ground and continued tossing leaves on top of her. At one point though, Jurina’s laughing went from sarcastic into genuinely happy. This was the first time Rena actually saw Jurina laughing happily like this. Even happier than the first time Jurina forced Rena to drink the Triple Espresso. This wasn’t the laugh of an adult. It was the laugh of an excited teenage girl. Looking up at Jurina’s genuinely happy and smiling face, Rena’s feelings started bubbling to the surface again as her face turned bright red.

“......” Jurina suddenly stopped tossing the leaves on top of Rena and looked at her face with her eyes sparkling beautifully. That literally made Rena blush more than she already did. “Are you sick, Rena?”

“H-Huh? N-No..... Why?” Rena blinked her eyes at Jurina while her face continue flashing red like a tomato.

Jurina placed her palm gently on Rena’s cheeks. “Your face... It’s all red and it’s hot. Are you sure you’re not sick?”

“O-Of course not! W-W-We should head back now. It’s already late” Rena blurted quickly and pushed Jurina out of the way to hide her blushed face. She walked out of the park fast-paced while covering her face. “Stop blushing, please. This is embarrassing..”

Jurina let out a contented smile at Rena’s back profile and caught up with her. They had a silent walk all the way back to Jurina’s office building.

“Ah... FInally we’re back here..” Rena stated as they returned to the office building.

When they entered the office building, Rena checked that it was already 11.55pm. She was a little disappointed that Jurina’s birthday was almost over and yet she wasn’t able to do much. “I’m sorry I couldn’t do much for you today..” Rena apologized in a regretful manner because she knew that she could have done more than she did.

Jurina smiled and answered honestly, “It wasn’t much, I agree with you.. But because of you, I was able to pass the time without thinking about it. If not for you, the day would have been horrifically long.”

Seeing that there were five minutes left, Rena offered to use those up for Jurina. “Jurina... There’s something I would like to do for you.. My grandmother always does this for me on my birthday.” Rena then warned Jurina, “But you can’t hate it.”

Jurina retorted. “If you think I’ll hate it then don’t do it.”

Rena replied with a smile. “You told me to make the decisions today, so I’ll do as I want.”

With that, Rena slowly shifted herself closer to Jurina with a facial expression of pure sincerity and gave her a hug. “Since today is the day you were born, it is a truly precious day. Thank you for being born.”

Taken aback, Jurina struggled with her own reaction. Unnerved, Jurina gulped and told her softly not to act too comfortably with her. Ignoring Jurina’s surprise, Rena patted her on the back gently, in a consoling gesture, as she prayed, “Mother... If you’re up there listening, I want you to hear me out for a bit.. I want to take the warm comfort I received every birthday and give it all to her. Please comfort her... Please comfort Jurina for me. She’s been through too much today and I want you to take it all away from her.. Thank you.”

Rena then pulled away slowly and cheerfully announced that Jurina’s birthday is officially over. Jurina smiled slightly and mused, “Today, you were quite useful, Rena. I have to say your overall performance today was better than expected.”

“See? Never judge a book by it’s cover.” Rena smiled in satisfaction as soon as those words came from Jurina.

“I have to tell you this honestly.. Of all the birthday celebrations I had, today was the cheapest one I’ve ever experienced..” Jurina’s words made Rena a little broken inside. That was before Jurina continued her sentence with a sincere smile. “But it was the most memorable one for me. Thank you, Rena..”

Jurina ruffled Rena’s hair and watched the younger lady blush once again. Rena squealed a little inside as her birthday plans went much better than she had expected. One thing for sure was that Jurina was happy with Rena’s personal birthday celebration.

“Alright. Since the party’s over, time to continue assessing these documents.”

“What?? But we just celebrated your birthday...” Rena was literally taken aback from Jurina’s sudden change in topic.

“Work is work, Rena. You can’t put these two under the same category. Besides, my birthday ended 5 minutes ago. So, it’s not my birthday anymore. In other words, you have no right over me anymore. Sit down.” Jurina ordered.

“Jeez... You really are a different person when it comes to work...” Rena pouted and sat down on the chair unwillingly.

“I told you before, Rena. I can change my mood whenever I want.”

“Well, lucky you have a passionate and tolerant assistant like me to put up with your change in behaviour.” Rena smiled sweetly at Jurina before looking at the documents.

Jurina furrowed her bros and smiled at Rena for praising herself. “What a strange lady... How cute.”

“Stop saying that.. I’m not cute..” Rena’s head remained tilted down to avoid eye contact with Jurina. Rena knew that if they had eye contact at that time, she would blush like mad.

Deep in Jurina’s heart, today was literally the most memorable day she had in a long time. It’s been way too long. Who would have ever thought that a simple receptionist was the key to unlock Jurina’s closed heart? Jurina may not have felt it yet but on that day, Rena had stole something precious from Jurina. A piece of her heart.

Jurina closed her eyes and clasped her hands together, mumbling her wish to herself before blowing the candle. “I wish that I could be the happiest person on Earth from now on, just like how I’m feeling right now.”

____________________________________________


CHAPTER 11

“P-Pass me y-your card key, Yuki..” Mayu’s voice was shaking as she had lost almost all her strength in her body from carrying Yuki the whole time. But luckily they were already standing in front of the hotel room.

Yuki took out her card key and passed it to Mayu. Mayu then swiped the card key and entered the hotel room. She then tottered her way towards the bed and landed Yuki on the bed. Soon after that, Mayu laid down on the bed and gasped a little. “Finally..”

“I told you to place me down countless of times, Mayu.. I feel so bad now.” Yuki said in a guilty tone.

“Don’t be.” Mayu flipped her body over and smiled at Yuki. She then sat back up and looked at Yuki’s ankle with concern. “I’m more worried about you. Does your ankle still hurt?”

“Just a little..” Yuki answered with a soft tone.

“Let me help you massage your ankle to loosen the muscle a little.” Mayu helped Yuki remove her shoe like a princess and that made Yuki smile a little.

“You did this a lot to other girls, haven’t you?” Yuki asked Mayu full of doubt.

“Of course not. Only to you.” Mayu shot a childish smile at Yuki that made her heart melt. “Brace yourself.. It’s going to hurt a little at first.”

“Ok..” Yuki bit the bottom of her lips to brace herself for the incoming pain.

As soon as Mayu pressed Yuki’s ankle, she groaned a little. “Ouch. Slow down there, Mayu...”

“Ok. I’ll soften a little. Tell me again if you’re hurt, ok?” Mayu said in a soft and warm tone as she continued massaging Yuki’s ankle.

Just looking at Mayu like this made Yuki’s heart jump a beat. Yes, it was true that Yuki sprained her ankle because of Mayu, but she repented by carrying Yuki all the way back to her hotel room despite knowing she was not strong enough to do something like that. Yuki was definitely taller bigger in size compared to Mayu, so there was actually no way in hell that Mayu could have been able to carry yuki all the way back here without losing her strength. Somehow looking at Mayu massaging her ankle, Yuki had a tingling yet sweet feeling in her heart. To tell the truth, Yuki had never felt this way even with Jurina. This must be what they call ‘love’.

Yuki was just looking at Mayu blankly. She doesn’t even feel anything from her ankle anymore. The world around her became silent. The only visible thing to Yuki right now was Mayu. Her heart kept on skipping a beat that she thought she was going to have a heart attack. At that time, Mayu looked up at her blank face. There it is, Mayu’s beautiful looking eyes. “Yuki?”

Yuki’s mind went blank all of a sudden. She didn’t know why she did that. Without thinking, Yuki grabbed onto Mayu’s face and pulled her in for a sudden kiss. As Mayu never anticipated the kiss, her eyes were still wide open from the kiss. As Yuki pulled Mayu away from the kiss, she realized that she was a little too hasty in her action and cursed herself for that. She didn’t know what had gotten into her that made her do that. She then apologized to Mayu while looking away from her, embarrassed to make an eye contact with her for another time. “I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have done that.”

“I-It’s ok. You don’t have to apologize.” Mayu didn’t think what Yuki did was a bad thing, so there’s actually no need for her to apologize.

“Sorry, maybe you should leave.” Yuki tottered herself over to the door and opened it.

“Yuki, but your ankle..” Mayu didn’t want to leave yet, but Yuki was insisting her.

“It’s much better now. Thank you. And I’m a little tired, so yea.. You have to go.”

As Mayu stood by the entrance, she looked at Yuki for one last time. “Are you sure?”

“Yea.. I’m sorry..” Yuki said, leaning on the door. Her face was carved with an apologetic expression.

“No, it’s ok.. So, I guess I’ll see you tomorrow?”

“Yea.. Tomorrow 9am at the lobby..” Yuki nodded.

“Good night, Yuki.” Mayu shot a dry smile at Yuki.

“Good night, Mayu.” Yuki then closed the door softly and left Mayu standing alone out in the corridor.

“She kissed my lips...” Mayu covered her face and it turned bright red all of a sudden. All the feelings were delayed. She’s feeling everything right now.

Soon after, Mayu went back to her room and Rena was already back in her own room. “What in the world happened to you? Your face looks like a baboon’s ass.”

Without saying a word, Mayu walked over towards Rena and grabbed onto her shoulders. “Rena... Yuki kissed me...in my lips...”

“Oh wow, Mayu. Not bad...” Rena nodded her head at Mayu and Yuki’s relationship progressing nicely.

“That’s called progress, Rena!! P.R.O.G.R.E.S.S.” Mayu kept bragging on and on and on.

“Yes, I get it. I feel happy for you too, Mayu. Calm down. It’s already late. We don’t want any complains, alright?” Rena tried to calm Mayu down.

“So, my story is progressing nicely. What about your story?”

“What about it?” Rena shrugged.

“Your story. You and Jurina? When are you both going to progress?” Mayu asked out of the blue.

“There’s nothing between us, Mayu..”

“I know there’s nothing between you both. But I also know that you WISHED there was something between you both, am I right?”

“Stop putting words into my mouth, Mayu. I never said anything like that.”

“I’ve known you almost my whole life, Rena. Those thoughts in that mind of yours are all pretty much transparent to me. I can tell that you have feelings for Jurina. You tend to act a little different when you face her.” Mayu said in a confident tone.

“Just like how you change your attitude completely when you face Yuki?” Rena answered in a sarcastic tone.

“Shut up, Rena. This is not about me. We’re talking about you now.”

“Go to sleep, Mayu. Our flight is early morning tomorrow.” Rena avoided the topic and covered her head with the comforter.

“Tch- Avoiding this again..” Mayu rolled her eyes and tossed a pillow on Rena.

“Did you just toss a pillow at me?” Rena pulled herself out of the comforter and glared at Mayu.

“No shit, Sherlock.” Mayu tossed another pillow at Rena again but only this time, Rena caught it.

“Ohohoho... It’s on...” Rena tossed the pillow at Mayu and hence another episode of MayuRena’s pillow fight till late at night.


Next morning

Mayu was unusually early today as she was the first to wait at the lobby couch, complaining about how irresponsible the others were for not being punctual when she was just simply too early. I guess she couldn’t sleep well after what happened last night. Especially the random kiss from Yuki. At that time, two person entered the hotel entrance that made her feel really surprised. It was Atsuko and Minami, and they were holding hands. As soon as Mayu saw Atsuko and Minami holding hands, she stood up immediately. “Oh, hell no.”

Without questioning the scene, Mayu immediately pulled Atsuko over to her side and warned Minami. “You are one huge stalker, Minami. I thought you were a better person than this. But so far, you’ve been nothing but an embarrassment. Stop bugging Atsuko again and go back to your princess Itano Tomomi. You’re not worth for Atsuko.”

“Mayu, calm down. It’s not what you think.” Atsuko tried to calm down the worked up Mayu.

“Don’t worry, Atsuko. You don’t have to be afraid of this jackass. I know what I think.” Mayu shook Atsuko off.

“Please listen to me, Mayu. We’re back together now.” Minami tried to convince this time.

“Oh you both are back together?” And of course Mayu did not believe Minami one slight bit. “Stay behind me, Atsuko. Let me get rid of this delusional clown for you.” Mayu hissed.

“Mayu, please stop. I’m not lying.” Minami tried to convince once again but to no avail.

“You better get the hell out of here before I punch a hole through your face, Minami. I’m not going to allow you to hurt Atsuko another time.” Mayu grabbed Minami up by her collar, shocking Atsuko.

“No Mayu, stop! Minami is telling the truth.” Atsuko pulled Mayu away from Minami. “It was all a misunderstanding actually. The one Minami loves is me..”

“...” Mayu blinked her eyes at Atsuko. “For real?”

“Yes, Mayu. Minami is teling the truth. We really are back together. It was all a misunderstanding.” Atsuko convinced Mayu this time.

“Huh? But I don’t understand.” Mayu seemed really confused with their relationship right now and how were they able to make up with each other within one day. And of course Atsuko enlightened Mayu of this case and she finally understood everything.

“Oh... So it’s like this...” Mayu nodded her head, signifying that she understood the case now. “But still you made Atsuko cry and I didn’t like it one bit.”

“So.... What do you want me to do about it?” Minami asked.

“There’s still a little time, so there is one thing you can do to calm me down.” Mayu nodded excitedly all of a sudden.

20minutes later..

“OH MY GOD THANK YOU, MINAMI!!!!” Mayu was squishing on a Sebastian soft toy while smiling brightly at Minami.

“You’re welcome.” Minami replied and Atsuko giggled at Mayu’s childishness.

Apparently, Minami had bought the Sebastian soft toy that Mayu saw yesterday for her. Mayu treated the Sebastian soft toy as if it was a real person and started talking to it. By the time they went back to the hotel lobby, Rena, Jurina and Yuki was already there.

“OMG Rena, look what I got! Minami bought a Sebastian for me!” Mayu placed the soft toy near to Rena’s face. So near that Rena’s breath could reach the toy.

Unimpressed, Rena raised an eyebrow at Mayu. “Who’s Sebastian again?”

“Sebastian from Black Butler!!” Mayu said in a loud and excited tone.

“Oh yay.. Great..” Rena replied with a bland and unconcerned tone.

“Tch.. You will never appreciate good stuff when you see one.” Mayu mocked.

“Trust me, Mayu. I know good stuff when I see one, and I’m pretty sure this Sebastian you’re holding isn’t one.”

Ignoring Rena, Mayu walked over to Yuki and greeted her. “Good morning, Yuki..”

Still being a little embarrassed from her action yesterday, she nodded slightly and looked away. “Morning, Mayu..”

Mayu felt a little dry from Yuki’s reaction. Yuki was still too embarrassed to face Mayu.

“You have yet to greet me, Mayu.” Jurina stood there with her arms crossed.

“Oh, right. Good morning, Jurina.”

Jurina nodded. “Good morning, Mayu.”

“Somebody want to explain what’s going on here?” Rena pointed at Minami and Atsuko. And once again, Atsuko have to tell the whole story to them.

“What a complicated story..” Rena scratched her head.

Atsuko added another statement this time. “Oh, one more thing.. I’m not following you guys back.. I’ll be here a little longer with Minami..”

“Alright. Since you’ve decided, then I guess we’re all set to go home.” Jurina said.

Mayu and Rena hugged Atsuko for one last time. “Good bye, Atsuko.. We’ll miss you..”

“Thank you both. It’s been really fun to have you both as friends.. I guess I’ll drop by AKB Hotel some time in the future.” Atsuko returned the hug and smiled.

As they were separated, Mayu and Rena walked over to Minami. “And you, Minami. Don’t do weird stuff again, alright?”

“Roger that.” Minami smiled and received two warm hugs from Rena and Mayu as well.

“So I guess it’s goodbye.. See you back in Japan!” Mayu screamed and waved as she ran towards Jurina’s rented car that’s already waiting for them at the entrance.

“See you! Bye!” Atsuko and Minami smiled and waved back at them.

Four of them entered the car and made their way to the airport. Yuki was unusually silent. She did not speak nor did she disturb Jurina at all. She mere sat there with a dazed expression.

“Ha....” Mayu breathe the air of Hawaii for one last time before entering the plane. “Finally we’re going back home..”

And off they go. Back to Japan. Rena must be really tired because as soon as she sat down, she dozed off almost immediately. Yuki as well. Not sure if she was tired or she purposely fall asleep to avoid talking to Mayu. The plane was silent almost the whole journey. Mayu was playing with her Sebastian soft toy like a little girl and Jurina was reading some magazines. Mayu then shot a few glances at Jurina and decided to walk over to her and sat down opposite her.

“Psst.. Hey Jurina..” Mayu spoke out softly at Jurina.

“What?” Jurina closed her magazine and looked up at Mayu.

“I have something to show you.”

“If you’re going to show that soft toy to me, sorry I’m not interested.”

“No, not Sebastian.. It’s actually a video of you.”

“Excuse me? A video of me?” Jurina raised both her eyebrows at Mayu’s straight forward, yet random statement.

“Right here.” Mayu took out her phone. “Wanna see it? I took this video while on the way to Hawaii.”

“Alright. You’ve piqued my interest.” Even the CEO can be as curious as a little girl at times.

“Here you go.” Mayu opened her Videos folder and clicked play at the latest saved video before handing over to Jurina. The video showed the scene during their flight from Japan to Hawaii. Jurina’s head was laid on Rena’s shoulder, not that Jurina could remember herself doing that. Then it showed Rena stealing a couple of glances on Jurina’s face. 10 times, if not, 20. Rena then tilted her head a little to take a look at Jurina’s face.

Then, Jurina saw Rena carefully swiping her bangs away so she could get a clearer vision of Jurina. Rena then poked Jurina’s face softly while smiling sweetly and cutely. That was when Rena looked over to the handphone. Rena blinked her eyes cutely a few times to register what was going on at that time. Mayu’s voice was heard then. “Tsk tsk tsk tsk...... Caught you red handed, you little liar..”

Rena remained like a statue and moved her mouth without voicing out, forming a sentence. “I’ll kill you if you don’t delete that, Mayu!”

And that was where the video footage ended. After watching it, Jurina let out a smile while mumbling to herself. “Silly girl..”

Mayu took her phone back. “So yeah.. Now that you’ve watched it, you should be able to tell that Rena likes you a lot.”

“That’s not possible.” Jurina shook her head, not believing in Mayu’s statement.

“You have eyes to see for yourself. You know what you saw in the video. Rena really likes you and she really hopes that you would notice her as a girl as well. Of course she wouldn’t admit it to anybody.”

“So what do you want me to do about it?” Jurina crossed her arms.

Mayu cleared her throat. “You could ask her out on a date.”

“I’m sorry, what?” Jurina obviously heard what Mayu said, but she wanted Mayu to repeat her sentence just in case she heard it wrongly.

“A date. I’m not forcing you, but I really hope that you would ask Rena out on a date.” Mayu said firmly. Mayu may seem really mean to Rena most of the time, but she actually cares a lot about her. “Think about it.. It’ll be fun..”

“Hmm...” Jurina was actually contemplating about it.

“Why not give Rena a chance? It doesn’t hurt trying to go on a date, right? She’s a nice girl. Who knows? You might have feelings for Rena sooner or later. I don’t want her to live the rest of her life alone.” Mayu convinced.

Remembering Rena’s effort in cheering Jurina up when she was down, Jurina gave it a thought. Maybe trying out a date doesn’t seem that bad, right? Mayu may be right about this matter though. “I’ll think about it.”

“Cool..” Mayu then looked over to Rena to find out that she was still sleeping. “Damn, I hope Rena didn’t hear anything I said about her just now or she would use this as a blackmail.”

The 7 hour flight finally came to an end and they’re finally back in their homeland. Mayu screamed as soon as she came out of the plane. “I’M BACK, JAPAN!!!! DID YOU MISS ME!? WOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Did you expect ‘Japan’ to answer you back? Seriously, Mayu. Stop screaming everytime you come out of a plane. Jeez..” Rena rolled her eyes.

“Tch-” Mayu sneered at Rena and she started talking to Sebastian. “Let’s go Sebastian. This lady is crazy..”

“I think you’re the one who’s crazy talking to soft toys..”

Mayu walked over to Yuki and tried to talk to her once again. “Yuki? You’re really silent today...”

As expected, Yuki turned her face away from Mayu. “I’m sorry, Mayu. I don’t feel too well today..”

“Oh...” Mayu then looked at her Sebastian soft toy while pouting a little from being rejected. She then showed it to Yuki. “Here you go, Yuki..”

“Hmm?” Yuki tilted her head a little.

“I’m giving Sebastian to you, Yuki. You can talk to him if you want to. He listens to all your problems. He’s a good listener.. I want you to have him.”

Yuki silently took the Sebastian from Mayu’s hand and looked back at her. “Thank you, Mayu...” Yuki hugged the Sebastian tightly and closed her eyes.

“You don’t have to thank me.. I just want you to have it, that’s all..” Mayu smiled before continuing. “And if I ever made you feel awkward last night, I’m really sorry.”

“Please don’t apologize, Mayu.. It wasn’t your fault at all.” Yuki shook her head gently.

At the same time, Jurina walked over to Rena and cleared her throat. “Rena, are you free this Saturday?”

“Saturday? Oh, I guess I’m free.. Some paperworks that needed to be rushed?” Rena asked, thinking that Jurina was going to ask her to work on that day or something.

After a long and loud breath, Jurina finally uttered the sentence out of her mouth. “Will you go on a date with me?”

“E-Eh?” Rena’s eyes widened at Jurina’s face as she had not expect a question like this coming from Jurina’s mouth. “But why??”

“Let’s just say I want to try something that I’ve never tried before.” Jurina replied with a smile.

“I...I guess so?” Rena was blushing a little as she answered Jurina.

Mayu smiled back at her best friend. “Ho..... Good news for you, Rena. Looks like your story is finally progressing..”

Here's Chapter 12 of management Affairs~
ENJOY~!  :banana: :pepper: :leek: :taco: :muffin: :strawberry: :lock:

_______________________________________________


CHAPTER 12


“Ha....” Rena flattened herself on the bed as soon as she returned to her room. “Home sweet home.”

For a few minutes, Rena was just staring blankly at the ceiling and let out a loud breath. And then... BOOM!! Rena was hit with a pillow thrown by Mayu.

“...” Rena did not react nor did she get annoyed by Mayu. She just continued staring at the ceiling blankly as if nothing happened.

“Earth to Rena! Stop dreaming in the broad daylight!” Mayu smacked Rena’s forehead continuously.

“Why would Jurina ask me out on a date all of a sudden?” Rena asked, with her eyes still staring at the ceiling.

Rena’s question made Mayu roll her eyes. “Does it even matter why? What matters is that she asked you out, right? Stop being curious about everything.”

“...” Rena sat up and shot a suspicious look at Mayu all of a sudden.

“What? Is there something on my face?”

“You’re wearing a face of a criminal right now. I wonder why..” Rena could definitely sense something wrong with Mayu’s expression but she was not sure of what made her think this way.

“Oh, yea.. Sure... I look like a criminal. I always look like a criminal to you. Pfft..” Despite knowing that Rena did have a point, Mayu told a blunt lie. But at least it made sense.

“Hmm.. Guess you’re right.” Rena shrugged it off in an instant.

“So, what are you feeling right now?”

“I don’t know, really... I’m just confused...”

“Trust me, Rena. This is a rare chance. If I were you, I would stop bitching about this matter and just go on with the date without asking any questions.”

At that time, the scene of Jurina asking her out for a date flashed across her mind once again and that made her blush. Rena tried to cover her face but was caught by Mayu. “Pfft... Baboon’s ass.. And you dare say that you don’t like Jurina. You’re telling lies.”

“Yeah, whatever, Mayu..”

“So, where are you meeting her at?”

“SKE Park.”

“Hmm... A good choice.”

“Good choice? What do you mean?” Rena seemed confused by Mayu’s statement.

“That’s the place where all couples have their make out session. I get you, girl..” Mayu winked at Rena as she shot an evil grin at Rena.

“Get out of my room, Mayu.” Rena stood up from her seat and started pushing Mayu out of the room.

“Take lots of pictures tomorrow, okay? Especially the kissing ones..” Mayu said, while being pushed out of the room at the same time.

“Good night!” Rena finally managed to shove Mayu out of her room and slammed the door shut.


The next day (Saturday)

“...” Yuki placed Sebastian on the bed and stared right at it silently.

“...”

“Hi.”

“...” no reply from Sebastian of course. If it did reply back, Yuki would be freaked out by now.

“I heard that you’re a good listener?” Yuki asked the doll.

“...”

“I’m feeling afraid right now.. I’m afraid that I’m falling for Mayu way too fast. Yea.. I’m in love with Mayu.. I’m not saying that it’s a bad thing, but the thing I’m afraid of is the fact that I love Mayu more than she loves me. What if she was just fooling around with me? I even kissed her out of my own selfishness. It startled her. I’m not sure if I could treat her the same way again..” Yuki then picked up Sebastian and hugged it tightly. “Please help me..”

At that time, Yuki’s phone rang. She picked up her phone and looked at the name of the caller. It was Mayu. It was as if Mayu was Sebastian and she heard everything before calling Yuki immediately. But of course, that is not possible. Mayu calling Yuki at that time was pure coincidence, or what they call it, fate. Yuki merely let her phone ring continuously until it came to an end. She didn’t want to pick it up. She wouldn’t know how to talk to Mayu at this point. Then came a message from Mayu.

“Yuki, please pick up your phone. I’m worried about you.”

Upon reading the text message, Yuki suddenly felt guilty for making Mayu worry about her. Soon after, her phone rang once again. And of course it was still Mayu. This time, Yuki picked up the call. As soon as she picked up the call, Mayu started bombarding Yuki with questions. “Yuki, are you alright? Why didn’t you pick up my call? Did you see my text message? I’m worried about you..”

“Stop calling me, Mayu. I’m having a headache right now.” Yuki started rubbing her forehead. “I’ll call you back when I’m feeling much better, ok?”

“Oh... Ok.” Mayu sounded concerned and a little sad from the rejection. She heard Yuki ended the call and she too, ended the call. Mayu sighed out loud and sat on the chair.


SKE Park

“Jurina! Over here!” Rena waved both her hands at Jurina.

Jurina looked over and raised her right hand up, signifying that she saw Rena. She then walked over to Rena. “You came early.”

“That’s because I was excited.. I couldn’t even sleep well last night thinking about today..” Rena blushed a little.

“So, where would you like to go?”

“You can decide where to go since you’re the one who.....you know...ask me out.” Rena didn’t know why she felt so awkward after uttering these words. Her face almost flashed in red, but she managed to hide it.

“I want you to decide for me again.”

“Eh? But...”

“If you don’t, then I’ll be disappointed. I know Yuki will never hire a receptionist who cannot make a decision.” Jurina didn’t hesitate one bit with her words.

Jurina was right. Rena has to show Jurina that she too can make a decision just like the other day. “I’ve got it.”

“See? Simple isn’t it?” Jurina smiled a little. “So, where do you wanna go?”

“The theme park sounds nice.” Rena grinned like a little child. “It’s just around the corner.”

“......” Jurina blinked her eyes blankly at Rena. Theme parks were never her thing. Why? Because she had never been to one, that’s why. She never understood the fun of a theme park. “Aren’t theme parks for children?”

“Theme parks are for all ages. Why do you think there’s a senior citizen rate then? There are also a lot of adults who come here to play. Couples too..”

“Hmm... Well, it doesn’t hurt to try something new... Alright, then.” Jurina said, and they left for the theme park.

Jurina and Rena were having lots of fun at the theme park. First, the roller coaster, then the Viking ride, and currently, they are playing a shooting game. It’s a game whereby the player will be holding a long barrel gun equipped with corks as bullets. Then the player has to shoot down the moving targets in order to win a prize. Luck doesn’t seem to be on their side as they were not able to shoot down any of the targets at all. Jurina was getting really frustrated by this.

“Gah!! Why can’t I shoot the targets!?”

“Calm down, Jurina. It’s really not easy to hit the targets. Let’s just forget it and move on..” Rena convinced Jurina but to no avail.

“Not a chance.. I’m not going to leave until I hit that target down.” Jurina took out a token and passed it to the person in charge again. Jurina then had another chance to shoot. And, of course she missed again.

Before Rena could say a word, Jurina spoke out first. “Don’t try and stop me, Rena.” Jurina warned before passing another token to the person.

Rena just sighed at Jurina’s stubbornness.

Jurina then slowly aimed at the moving target one last time. “Come on.... Concentrate... Concentrate... And...”

*BANG*

The target fell over, earning a yell of excitement from both Rena and Jurina. For some reason, Jurina felt like she had achieved something huge in her life as she continued cheering on and on and on until she realized in the end that she was hugging Rena by accident. “Sorry. I was out of my mind all of a sudden.” Jurina apologized.

Rena shook her head while blushing. “No it’s completely fine. I understand your feeling though. The feeling of achieving something after trying for countless of times.”

“Thank you..” Jurina grinned as she received a huge teddy bear from the stall owner. Jurina then walked over to Rena and passed the huge teddy bear to Rena. “Here, this is for you.”

“For me? Why?” Rena seemed a little shocked because Jurina should be the one keeping the bear.

“Because lately, you have brought me nothing but happiness, and I’m really grateful of that. So, I want you to keep this bear.” Jurina insisted.

Understanding that Jurina really wanted her to receive the bear, Rena took the bear from Jurina’s hands and shot a wide grin at her. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

“So, how’s the theme park so far?” Rena asked with both her eyes wide open like a curious child while holding onto the huge teddy bear.

“Not bad.. I was actually having fun.” Jurina nodded and smiled, signifying that she was indeed having lots of fun there. “I never knew theme parks were this fun.”

“That’s because you’re always working your ass off in the office. You should come out and have fun once in a while.”

“I guess I’ll have to ask you out on a couple more dates then.”

“Oh....” Rena’s face flashed red a little and she scratched her head. “I’m not sure what to say..”

“It’s not like you could say no to me.” Jurina shot a sweet smile at Rena, and it almost made her lose energy in her legs.

“I guess it’s a yes, then..” Rena shyly answered.

Jurina giggled a little at Rena’s shyness. She could clearly see that Rena really does like her just like what Mayu said. And it seems like Jurina felt really happy spending time with Rena. Who knows? She might have taken a liking towards Rena. Jurina held out a map of the theme park and asked herself. “Now, where else have we not ride yet...”

“I know.. Let’s go to that haunted house now. I heard that it’s really spooky.” Rena looked excited as she pointed at a famous haunted house in the theme park. Jurina hesitated a little and that made Rena question. “Jurina, don’t tell me that you’re afraid of haunted houses?”

Having so much pride carved within Jurina, of course she would never admit to such a thing. “Haunted houses are only meant to scare little kids. What can it do to someone like me?”

“Let’s go then..” Rena didn’t hesitate one bit to pull Jurina into the haunted house. They left the teddy bear outside because they were not allowed to enter with that huge thing.

When they were in the haunted house, everything was dark. There was a creepy atmosphere around and sent shivers up their spines. Jurina seemed quite afraid as she had a case of night blindness, so she couldn’t see what’s coming towards her until it was already in front of her face. That made things twice as creepy as it already was.

“It’s alright, Jurina. You don’t have to be afraid.” Rena tried to calm Jurina down because Jurina was obviously afraid.

“Afraid? You expect me to be afraid of these so called ‘ghosts’? Please, Rena. They’re not even real ghosts. They are humans in costumes.” Jurina shook her head at Rena’s silliness and faced front once again. As soon as she faced front, a ‘ghost’ was standing directly in front of her. Jurina immediately let out a scream out of fear and fell down on the ground as she had never expected someone to magically appear in front of her eyes. Well, it’s the haunted house. You must always expect the unexpected.

Rena giggled at Jurina. “I thought you weren’t afraid?”

Embarrassed, Jurina quickly stood back up and dusted her butt. “Alright, fine. I’ll admit that was a little scary. Just a little.”

“Just a little?” Rena shot a suspicious look at Jurina.

Jurina then let out a loud sigh. “Alright. It was really scary. Let’s go back out.”

“We’re already in the haunted house. There’s only one way out now.” Rena shrugged.

“I can’t stand jumpscares. What more in a dark place like this. I could get a heart attack.”

Rena knew this was a chance for them to get closer to one another. “Erm.. Maybe, you could....hold on to me until we get out?” Rena started blushing like mad even though she was the one who suggested it.

Without another word, Jurina reached for Rena’s hand and intertwined fingers with her. Jurina’s action was completely unexpected and Rena flinched a little. She thought her head was about to burst from the amount of blood that rushed into her head. “S-S-So.... How’re you feeling n-now?” Rena’s voice was shaking from her shyness.

“Hmm.. Better..” Jurina smiled at Rena. One thing Jurina felt when she held hands with Rena was warmth. It was the kind of warmth that she had never felt in a long long time.

Throughout the haunted house experience, Jurina screamed at least 20 times. That was about twice more than Rena did. It was a strange sight for Rena. She never knew there was this side to Jurina as well. It made Jurina look cute. When they exited the haunted house, Jurina’s face was white. It seems that fear had drained the colour off her face. One more interesting fact, Jurina literally had tears in her eyes. Who would have thought an intimidating CEO could be afraid of a haunted house experience?

Noticing Jurina’s pale face, Rena asked in concern. “Are you alright?”

With tears in her eyes, Jurina glared at Rena and warned her. “You better not tell anyone about this or I will make you pay...”

“No worries. This secret will be kept safely by me. Nobody will ever know the events that happened today.” Rena smiled.

Jurina swiped her tears away and calmly answered, as if nothing happened before. “Good.”

But then, Rena noticed something. “Erm.... Jurina?”

“Yeah?”

“We’re out of the haunted house now, and you’re still holding my hand..” Rena shyly stated.

“Yea, I’m aware of that.” Jurina said in a cool manner, tightening her grip on Rena’s fingers.

The fact that Jurina realize that she was still holding onto Rena’s hand made Rena blush even more. “E-Eh..?”

“What? Isn’t holding hands common for people who are on a date?”

“Y-Yes, but...”

“You don’t like it? Ok then. I’ll be bringing the bear instead.” Jurina immediately let go of Rena’s hand. She then walked over to pick up the bear and started walking off on her own. That made Rena regret. Why must she question so much when she could just go along with it. Rena definitely wanted to hold Jurina’s hand. But now that Jurina had let go of hers, Rena was just too shy to ask Jurina to hold her hand once again.

“I’m really a loser for being so shy...” That’s all Rena could think of in her mind right now.

At that time, her fingers were intertwined once again by Jurina’s fingers. “What are you waiting for? Let’s go eat. I’m hungry.” Jurina was piggy backing the huge teddy bear as she tightened her grip on Rena’s hand.

Rena was stunned for a moment and a wide grin slowly escaped from her mouth, revealing her teeth. “Okay..” Rena had never felt so in love and happy before in her life. This may just be the turning point in her life.

*RING*

Yuki’s phone rang. She sighed and looked at the name of the caller. As expected, it was Mayu. She then picked up the call and answered right away. “Mayu, didn’t I tell you that I’ll call you back later? Can’t you just...”

“Too late for that, Yuki.. I’m outside your house now.” Mayu sounded from the other side of the phone.

“Huh?” Yuki walked over to the window and looked outside. Mayu was indeed standign right in front of her house, waving at her. She immediately went to answer the door. “What are you doing here, Mayu?”

“Aren’t you going to invite me in first?” Mayu smiled while holding on a big plastic bag.

Yuki sighed. “Alright, come in..”

And Mayu went in.

“Why did you come here for? And what’s that?” Yuki pointed at the huge plastic bag held by Mayu.

“Oh, this?” Mayu placed the plastic bag on the table and started taking out all sorts of medication. “You said that you were having a headache, so I brought all these...”

“You brought all these just because I said that I have headache?”

“Uh-huh..” Mayu nodded like an innocent little girl.

Yuki was really grateful of Mayu, but she still wasn’t fully convinced that Mayu was being serious with her and Yuki needed more time to think about this matter. “Thank you.. I should get some rest now. You should leave.” She then opened the front door, waiting for Mayu to leave.

“I’m not leaving, Yuki.” Mayu insisted to stay.

“Suit yourself.” Yuki slammed the front door and walked back into her house.

Before Yuki could turn around, Mayu grab hold onto Yuki’s wrist. “Why are you trying to keep yourself away from me, Yuki? You’ve been doing this ever since that time.”

“...”

“Was it fake, then? You never meant to kiss me, didn’t you? That’s why you’re keeping away from me.”

“It’s because it’s too real, Mayu! I’m just afraid, okay!?” Yuki yelled back at Mayu and startled her.

Mayu then asked in a soft tone. “Afraid? What are you afraid of?”

“That my love for you is becoming deeper than I could imagine.. I’m afraid that even though I’m loving you this much, you might be fooling around with me.. I don’t know why I feel this way... Please forgive me..” Yuki covered her face and started crying.

Hearing those words from Yuki, Mayu reached for her and removed her hands off her face. “Stop crying, Yuki. You don’t look beautiful when you’re crying..”

Yuki sobbed a little as Mayu continued holding onto her hands.

“Nobody’s fooling around with you, Yuki. All my feelings for you are true. And I’m not afraid to admit that I really do love you with all my heart. You’re a fool to even doubt my feelings for you. I can assure you that I love you as much as you do love me, or maybe even more.” Mayu then landed a gentle kiss on Yuki’s lips. “I’m not leaving you, Yuki.. I never will.”

Oh i'm the first to comment for this chapter! Cool. SOOOOO, the good fluff progress for wMatsui and MaYuki in the story. Not too weird or too exaggerating either.

Hmmm~ Nice. good good~ The speech is good and not making the intensity dropped off or give a turn off. That side of Jurina you portrayed is decent with her indirectly express herself without using much beautiful words, but only actions. It goes along well with the way you portray Rena. Gradual improvement for wMatsui, and its the best wMatsui so far I've seen despite its just a small section of a chapter. But that's the most essential. You're able to keep that intensity of the pairing and left a decent impression towards the end!  :thumbup


For MaYuki:
Quote
“...” Yuki placed Sebastian on the bed and stared right at it silently.

“...”

“Hi.”

“...” no reply from Sebastian of course. If it did reply back, Yuki would be freaked out by now.

“I heard that you’re a good listener?” Yuki asked the doll.

“...”

“I’m feeling afraid right now.. I’m afraid that I’m falling for Mayu way too fast. Yea.. I’m in love with Mayu.. I’m not saying that it’s a bad thing, but the thing I’m afraid of is the fact that I love Mayu more than she loves me. What if she was just fooling around with me? I even kissed her out of my own selfishness. It startled her. I’m not sure if I could treat her the same way again..” Yuki then picked up Sebastian and hugged it tightly. “Please help me..”

At that time, Yuki’s phone rang. She picked up her phone and looked at the name of the caller. It was Mayu. It was as if Mayu was Sebastian and she heard everything before calling Yuki immediately. But of course, that is not possible. Mayu calling Yuki at that time was pure coincidence, or what they call it, fate. Yuki merely let her phone ring continuously until it came to an end. She didn’t want to pick it up. She wouldn’t know how to talk to Mayu at this point. Then came a message from Mayu.

“Yuki, please pick up your phone. I’m worried about you.”

Upon reading the text message, Yuki suddenly felt guilty for making Mayu worry about her. Soon after, her phone rang once again. And of course it was still Mayu. This time, Yuki picked up the call. As soon as she picked up the call, Mayu started bombarding Yuki with questions. “Yuki, are you alright? Why didn’t you pick up my call? Did you see my text message? I’m worried about you..”

“Stop calling me, Mayu. I’m having a headache right now.” Yuki started rubbing her forehead. “I’ll call you back when I’m feeling much better, ok?”

“Oh... Ok.” Mayu sounded concerned and a little sad from the rejection. She heard Yuki ended the call and she too, ended the call. Mayu sighed out loud and sat on the chair.

Good start. Not bluntly or exaggerating anything which make this a decent part and a good progression. Keep it up! The character's flow is smooth and I don't see any bumps, it is great.

I can assure you that I love you as much as you do love me, or maybe even more.” Mayu then landed a gentle kiss on Yuki’s lips. “I’m not leaving you, Yuki.. I never will.”

The 2nd part. This is another decent part. Mayu is being naive in her way but not too much because of how she's seriously worried about Yuki. The impression received from Mayu is strong in this part which supported the intense situation that Yuki was giving. It is indeed a kind of respond or situation that is expected in real life and it gives a decent smooth flow. Yuki being cold, yes, it is decent!

Quote
“That my love for you is becoming deeper than I could imagine.. I’m afraid that even though I’m loving you this much, you might be fooling around with me.. I don’t know why I feel this way... Please forgive me..” Yuki covered her face and started crying.

This part is okay, but could be done better. But you have other parts that bring out the light for this whole scene which is a great technique to hide flaws :P  Going on to the scene Mayu talked before she kissed Yuki. It is a good speech, indeed impressive. I'm surprised you managed to bring out Mayu's character really well in this one sentence. Could be a little better to make it "perfect" but this is more than good enough at this moment. Her move in making a soft kiss is good! All the flow went really well together and you really left a great impression of MaYuki and wMatsui moments in this chapter. Since this chapter is all about fluff....So I can only comment on fluff, and that's why I can say that this is the best fluff chapter I've seen from you among all series :) Do keep it up~ ^^ :thumbup :cathappy:

...From your master :P

“It’s because it’s too real, Mayu! I’m just afraid, okay!?” Yuki yelled back at Mayu and startled her.

Mayu then asked in a soft tone. “Afraid? What are you afraid of?”

“That my love for you is becoming deeper than I could imagine.. I’m afraid that even though I’m loving you this much, you might be fooling around with me.. I don’t know why I feel this way... Please forgive me..” Yuki covered her face and started crying.

Hearing those words from Yuki, Mayu reached for her and removed her hands off her face. “Stop crying, Yuki. You don’t look beautiful when you’re crying..”

Yuki sobbed a little as Mayu continued holding onto her hands.

“Nobody’s fooling around with you, Yuki. All my feelings for you are true. And I’m not afraid to admit that I really do love you with all my heart. You’re a fool to even doubt my feelings for you. I can assure you that I love you as much as you do love me, or maybe even more.” Mayu then landed a gentle kiss on Yuki’s lips. “I’m not leaving you, Yuki.. I never will.”

The 2nd part. This is another decent part. Mayu is being naive in her way but not too much because of how she's seriously worried about Yuki. The impression received from Mayu is strong in this part which supported the intense situation that Yuki was giving. It is indeed a kind of respond or situation that is expected in real life and it gives a decent smooth flow. Yuki being cold, yes, it is decent!

“That my love for you is becoming deeper than I could imagine.. I’m afraid that even though I’m loving you this much, you might be fooling around with me.. I don’t know why I feel this way... Please forgive me..” Yuki covered her face and started crying.

This part is okay, but could be done better. But you have other parts that bring out the light for this whole scene which is a great technique to hide flaws :P  Going on to the scene Mayu talked before she kissed Yuki. It is a good speech, indeed impressive. I'm surprised you managed to bring out Mayu's character really well in this one sentence. Could be a little better to make it "perfect" but this is more than good enough at this moment. Her move in making a soft kiss is good! All the flow went really well together and you really left a great impression of MaYuki and wMatsui moments in this chapter. Since this chapter is all about fluff....So I can only comment on fluff, and that's why I can say that this is the best fluff chapter I've seen from you among all series :) Do keep it up~ ^^ :thumbup :cathappy:

...From your master :P



I ended up reading master Kate's comment instead  :lol: :thumbsup but it was great.. the wmatsui moments  :twothumbs and..and...Mayuki  :heart: :heart: :heart:.. and...and... don't call me chicken!!!  :angry: :angry: :angry:

_____________________________________________________


CHAPTER 13

Jurina and Rena were having their lunch in a fast food restaurant. Rena just sat down opposite Jurina, staring at her gulping down her burger like someone who hasn’t eaten in a long time.

Noticing this, Jurina swallowed her burger and asked Rena. “Why are you not eating your food? You’re not hungry?”

“Yes, I’m hungry. I’m just amazed at the amount of food you could stuff into your mouth. I mean, I never knew you could eat this much.”

“I eat like a pig when I’m hungry. Or maybe just because I have a large mouth. That’s why I could stuff lots of food into my mouth.” Jurina continued munching on her burger.

“Mayu has a large mouth. Too bad she uses it for talking instead of eating.” Rena said as she started unwrapping her burger and opened the bun. She then removed the few slices of cucumber off her burger and placed them on the plate.

Jurina gave Rena ‘the eye’. “Why are you removing the cucumbers off your burger?”

“I hate them.” Rena went straight to the point.

“You should eat your cucumbers.”

“Nope.. I hate cucumbers as much as I hate coffee.”

“I don’t care if you hate cucumbers. Eat them, Rena.”

“Err... No.”

“Take a small bite then.”

“Not a chance.”

“Alright, look here, princess. You better take a small bite or I’ll stuff five slices of cucumbers down your throat. I mean it.” Jurina definitely wasn’t joking that she would literally shove those cucumber slices down Rena’s throat.

“...” Rena contemplated for a little while.

“You really think I’m joking, aren’t you?” Jurina removed a few cucumber slices from her own plate and blankly stare right into Rena’s eyes.

Knowing that Jurina was really serious about this, Rena decided. “Alright. I’ll take a bite.”

“Here you go.” Jurina held a cucumber slice close to Rena’s face.

When Rena wanted to take the cucumber slice, Jurina immediately retracted her hand. “Nuh-uh.. Open your mouth.”

“E-Eh?” Rena blushed immediately.

“You can close your eyes if you’re shy. You don’t have to look. Maybe it will taste better with your eyes closed?” Jurina smiled.

“O-Ok..” Rena shut her eyes soon after. As soon as Rena opened her mouth to take a bite, Jurina immediately shoved three slices of cucumber into her mouth.

“Blergh-” Rena immediately spit the cucumbers out and started choking. “You tricked me.”

Jurina started laughing hysterically. “You should have seen the expression on your face.. Priceless!!”

There was it again, Jurina’s super rare hysterical laugh. So far, this was the second time Rena heard this laugh from Jurina. The first time was when they first had a drink in Starbucks and Jurina forced the Triple Espresso down Rena’s throat. Rena pouted a little at Jurina. “You did that to me with the Triple Espresso last time..”

“Ah, yes.. I remember. It’s strange how time flies so fast, huh..” Jurina smiled at the memory that flashed through her mind.

Rena then giggled. “Yeah. Funny how we first met in a small accident and now we’re so close to one another..”

“So close, you say?” Jurina then rested her arms on the table and tilted her head over to Rena. Jurina’s head was literally a few inches away from Rena’s face, causing her to start blushing. Jurina smiled a little at Rena’s shy behaviour and asked sarcastically. “How close?”

Rena decided to ignore Jurina as she looked away with her face flashed in red. Basically she was too shy to look at Jurina at this time. She was fidgeting while eating her burger at the same time. It made her look like a squirrel munching on its food with small and quick bites. Little did Rena noticed that she smeared the right side of her lips with tomato sauce.

Noticing this, Jurina tried to contain her giggle and continued staring at Rena wrestling with her burger. Rena definitely sensed something wrong with Jurina’s expression as she looked over at her face. Jurina was obviously wearing an expression of a held in laughter. “What? Is there something on my face?” Rena started touching her face all over.

“Here.” Jurina grabbed Rena’s wrist down, avoiding her from searching for the stain any longer and gently wiped the sauce away from Rena’s lip with her thumb.

Boy did that make Rena blush. Jurina’s action made Rena flinched a little as she did not expect it. If that wasn’t enough, Jurina sucked the sauce off her thumb after that, making Rena feel more embarrassed than before.

“Don’t do that..” Rena said in a soft and shy tone.

“Don’t do what? This?” Jurina moved her thumb over to Rena once again, but this time, Rena tilted her head backwards to avoid the touch. “Why are you avoiding it?”

“Coz when you do that, I will have an unsettling feeling in my heart and I feel weird stuff in my stomach.” Rena spoke out.

“Butterflies?” Jurina gave it a guess.

“Mmmm..... More like bees.. Bees stinging my stomach.”

“You know, only someone who is in love will experience this weird feeling when touched by someone.” Jurina shot a little smirk at Rena trying to imply that Rena is in love with her.

“N-No! I’m not in love.” Didn’t take Rena a second to retort in a slightly agitated tone.

“...” Jurina just kept quiet but there’s definitely something about Jurina’s smug expression she is wearing right now. Then comes a long silence. Rena kept rolling her eyes around, left, right, up and down but never front to face Jurina. But Rena did realize something, that Jurina was looking at her the whole time without looking away. That made Rena feel weird and was forced to confront Jurina from her pressuring gaze.

“Err... Can you look somewhere else?”

“How about I choose to do what I want and keep looking at you?” Jurina replied. “Besides, is it wrong to look at a pretty lady?”

“Oh god...” Rena covered her face with both her hands to hide her pink, blushing face.

Jurina let out a small laugh at Rena’s actions before having a thought. “Hmm... I wonder what Yuki is doing now..”

Upon hearing Jurina’s sentence, Rena asked a question. “So...... What’s your relationship with Yuki? Do you like her? As a friend or more?”

Noticing Rena’s random question, Jurina placed her cup on the table and asked Rena the same question, “What about you? What’s your relationship with me? Do you like me? As a friend.....or more?”

Even though both Rena and Jurina asked the same question, Jurina’s question seem to have a bigger impact on Rena as it made her completely speechless right away.

“Let’s just continue eating...” Rena avoided the question while trying to restrain herself from blushing once again.

Noticing the change in Rena’s behaviour, Jurina chuckled. “What a strange lady.... How cute.”

“S-Stop that.. I’m not cute..” Rena stated while her head tilted down and her eyes looking at her food to avoid eye contact with Jurina. That’s because Rena knew if she had eye contact with Jurina, she would turn red immediately. Not like she hasn’t blush already.

Jurina rested her chin on her right palm and tilted her head a little. “You know.. I think I like you..”

Poof. There goes Rena’s blood pressure going off the roof. her face turned bright red in a second. She tried to stop herself from blushing but nothing seemed to work. Her heart thumping faster then before that she felt like it was going to explode. “I-I-I’m done eating. Let’s leave this place now..” Rena immediately stood up and left the restaurant.

Jurina knew that Rena was just too shy to face her any longer. She felt that it was actually fun and interesting teasing Rena like this. So, Jurina paid for the bill and chased after Rena. As Jurina caught up to Rena, she asked, “Why’d you leave all of a sudden?”

“No reason. I just wanted to leave the restaurant fast, that’s all.” Rena shrugged it off and answered without making an eye contact with Jurina.

“Alright...” It’s not like Jurina is that dumb to not tell what’s wrong with Rena. She’s in love with Jurina. She just couldn’t bear to continue facing Jurina in that situation. It was so obvious. “So, where do you wanna go now?”

“I haven’t thought about it yet..” That was when Rena saw a huge Ferris Wheel in front of her. “How about the Ferris Wheel? I heard that the scenery at the top is beautiful.”

Oops.. Seems like Rena picked the wrong ride if she wanted to avoid Jurina’s gaze. Guess Rena never thought about how small the gondola was. Or maybe she only thought about looking at the beautiful scenery that time. They entered the gondola and the person in charge closed the gondola door and locked it tight. Rena sat there blinking her eyes blankly as she realized that the gondola was indeed small.

Without hesitation, Rena looked out the window out of shyness. Jurina merely smiled. It’s not like Rena could avoid her forever. It’s such a small place here. The Ferris Wheel then began to operate. There was just plain silence between them. That was until Jurina tried to start a conversation. “Why do you keep looking outside? There’s nothing to see yet.”

Rena sighed. “I’m shy, alright? I didn’t want to look right into your eyes. Cause if I did, I would blush. And if I blush, you would tease me again and again. So, nope. Not looking at your face from now on.” Believe it or not, Rena said all these while still looking outside.

Jurina did not answer to Rena. She just remained quiet and smiled. It was said that one full rotation of this Ferris Wheel takes up to 15 minutes. As for Rena, she felt that they had been in there for an hour even though their gondola was just half way up to the highest point.

As the gondola go higher and higher, the pleasing scenery of the mountainous area and trees with the sun setting in between two mountains were breathtaking. Rena immediately stood up and stuck her whole body on the glass panel. “Wow.. The scenery really is beautiful...just like they said.”

“Yea it is..” Jurina who stood behind Rena leaned both her hands on the glass panel. That was when Rena caught something at the corner of her eye. She slowly rolled her eyes to the side and noticed that Jurina placed both her hands on the glass panel of the gondola. Slowly, she started feeling Jurina’s breath at the back of her head too.

Jurina then slowly shifted her hands onto Rena’s hands. Rena was stunned. She didn’t know what to do nor did she want to turn around. By the warm breath felt on her hair, Rena knew Jurina was standing really REALLY close to her. All her muscles tensed up and the irregular beating of her heart made her feel as if she had a heart attack. She had no intentions to turn around and get her face flashed in red for the 20th time. Without saying a word, Jurina turned Rena around to face her and gently pinned her on the glass panel.

“Why are you standing so close to me....” Rena softly and shyly muttered as she finally felt Jurina’s warm breath on her face.

“I don’t know either.. I just...feel like it..” Jurina’s voice was really soft and almost breathless as her face automatically got drawn closer and closer to Rena’s face.

Jurina’s loud and warm breath was like a drug for Rena, it made her feel weak on her legs yet craving for more. It was almost too much for Rena to bear and their lips weren’t even touching yet.

“W-What’re you trying to do?” Rena asked again in a shy tone. The world around her became silent. As of now, she could only hear and see Jurina right in front of her eyes.

“What do you think I’m trying to do?” Again, Jurina replied with the sexy and breathless voice as her face drew closer and closer. So close that their noses were touching each other’s. “It’ll be a waste of chance not to kiss you right now..”

Rena thought this is it. That she was going to have her first kiss. She had always wondered what kissing felt like. Some say that you’ll feel all weak in your legs suddenly. Some say you’ll feel a electric jolt down your spine. Some say you’ll feel butterflies in your stomach. Rena didn’t know until this very moment.

Jurina’s breath was getting warmer and warmer as her lips was just centimeters away from Rena’s. Rena slowly closed her eyes unconsciously. She didn’t know why she closed her eyes. It was involuntary action. Jurina also did close her eyes. Before she knew it, Jurina’s lips was already touching hers.

As their lips met, the first thing felt by Rena was a tingling and ticklish sensation at her lips. She wasn’t sure if it was a good thing or not. What she knew was that it made her crave for more. Jurina then pushes her lips deeper a little, that was when Rena felt a sudden electricity jolted down her spine. It definitely felt good. Way too good that Rena automatically had her arms around Jurina’s neck.

The kiss wasn’t the fierce kind of kiss. No tongue. It was just the locking of their lips. Just like how Prince Charming kisses Snow White. A couple kissing in the gondola with the light from the sunset shining at them like an angel light. What a beautiful scene.

As they were having such intimate time, they didn’t even realize that the gondola had came back down. The person in charge noticed them inside and decided to let the gondola continue moving for another round since Rena and Jurina were the last ones to take the ride. It’s not like there’s anybody left to take this ride anyway.

As their lips separated slowly, they leaned on each others forehead and smiled sweetly at each other. Rena still had her arms tight around Jurina’s neck. Jurina then voiced out, “So, I guess we’re considered official now.”

“I don’t know... Are we?” Rena cutely rolled her eyes and acted dumb like a little child.

“I’ll take that as a yes, then.” Jurina smiled.

“Hmm? I didn’t agree to it though.” Rena tried to play the ‘hard to get’ role.

“It wasn’t a question, Rena. So I don’t really have to listen to what you have to say.” Well, Jurina definitely had the higher authority even when it comes to situations like this. Rena simply had nothing else to reply.

This sentence from Jurina literally made Rena smile wide like a little girl. Meeting with such a decisive and attractive lady, Rena thought to herself. “She’s the one.. I think I’m really in love.”

“So, yea.. That’s pretty much the whole story of what happened there.” Rena blushed a little after telling the whole story to Mayu about what happened earlier at the Theme Park.

Mayu who was laying down on the bed was so captivated by the story that she had her mouth open and her imagination started running wild. “Damn, Rena... You really had it good this time.” She then stood up and patted Rena on the head before sobbing in a fake manner and wiping off her non existent tears. “I’ve thought you well, my little one. Mama is so proud of you..”

Rena smacked Mayu’s arm away and hissed. “You’re not my mama, alright?

“But hey.. I really do feel happy for you. You finally have someone in your life. Not that I’ve not invaded into your life already. HAHAHAHAHAHHA.”

Rena rolled her eyes. “Yea. If you know that, then please stay away from me for once.”

“Pfft.. Not gonna happen. You and I are going to be stuck FOREVER!! Even after you get married, I’ll be always there in your house... Lurking.. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”

“......” Mayu’s silliness sometimes couldn’t get through Rena’s head. Rena just shrugged it off and smiled back at Mayu. “How about you? You’re finally with Yuki as well. How’re you feeling?”

“I gotta say this, I’ve never felt this way before. It seems like Yuki was the missing puzzle piece in my life. With her, I feel that my life is perfect.” Mayu smiled to hrself suddenly, remembering the scene at Yuki’s house earlier today.

“Well, you seem happy enough to start dazing around like this. Good for you.” Rena smiled a little. “Well, it’s really late now and we have work tomorrow. Good night, Mayu.” Rena opened the door for Mayu, inviting her out of her room.

“ Good night, Rena.. And this teddy bear is coming with me.” Mayu reached towards Rena’s bed and grabbed onto the huge teddy bear given by Jurina and started walking off on her own.

“NO! Give that back!” Rena snatched the bear back into her hands. “This is precious to me! You’re not taking anything from me, Mayu.”

“Oh, come on! You don’t even like soft toys. Give it to me!” Mayu tried to snatch it back but Rena pushed her away, causing her to fall over. “Gah!”

Rena showed Mayu the tongue and smirked at her. That’s what you get for trying to steal my precious things.”

“WAR!!!!!!” Mayu pounced towards Rena and hugged the bear. As the weight from Mayu and the bear was too much for Rena to handle, she fell onto the ground with the huge bear on top of her and Mayu on top of the bear. “Ha! How’d you like that now!?”

“Omg, I can’t breathe..”

“Then give me the bear!” Mayu tried snatching it again.

“No! You have your so-called Sebastian already. Go sleep with him instead!”

“It’s with Yuki, so I need this super duper fluffy giant bear to sleep with me tonight.”

“Stop waisting my time here, Mayu! We have work tomorrow! And it’s late!”

“You’re the one who’s wasting my time! If you’d give up this bear right now, then we cold go to sleep right away!”

“Jurina gave this to me, so I can’t give it to you just like that! Can’t you understand!?”

“Yes, you can.”

“No I can’t!”

“Let go!”

“No! You let go or else!”

“Or else what, Rena? You’re gonna sit on me?” Mayu challenged.

“Gah!!” Rena pushed Mayu with all her strength and managed to drop Mayu down on the ground. This time, the bear was on top of Mayu and Rena was siting on top of the bear. “I gave you a warning, Mayu. Don’t challenge me.”

“Ok ok! I give up.” Mayu who was suffocating on the ground gave in to Rena finally. Rena then placed the precious bear back on her bed and smiled victoriously.

“Bleh! I don’t need your bear!” Mayu showed Rena the tongue.

“Bleh! Then get out of my room!” Rena replied with the same tongue gesture as well.

“Tch- Selfish.” Mayu hissed for one last time before exiting Rena’s room and went back to her own room.

With Rena left alone in her own room, she sat across the bear and smiled to herself once again while reminiscing the moments when she was at the theme park with Jurina and how today became the very day she had her first kiss and also official relationship. Mayu as well, she finally had the chance to confess herself to Yuki and also started an official relationship with her. How will their relationship end up in the future? Guess we’ll know very very soon.

Well, here you go~ Chapter 14 of Management Affairs~

_____________________________________________________


CHAPTER 14

The Avengers was definitely not the kind of movie that Yuki loves to watch, but as for Mayu, it was like a godly movie. Everyone knew just how childish Mayu were. Name everything that excites a child. That’s the exact same thing that excites Mayu, except for the fact that she’s a completely grown adult. It’s not like Yuki had a choice to watch another movie when her girlfriend was repeating the word ‘Avengers’ the whole time on the way to the cinema.

“BEAT THEM UP, IRONMAN!!” Mayu screamed at the screen, gaining a few pair of eyes glaring at them.

“Shh... Mayu, people are going to get angry if you don’t keep quiet. This is the cinema, not your home.” Yuki, who was sitting beside Mayu calmed Mayu down before someone comes over and give them a warning.

As soon as they exited from the cinema, Yuki let out a yawn. Mayu noticed it and ased, “You’re tired, Yuki?”

“A little..”

“Do you want me to carry you again like the time in Hawaii?” Mayu grinned widely.

“Err... No. You were half dead in Hawaii. Don’t think I didn’t realize that your whole bady was shaking that time.” Yuki retorted with her whole body.

“Come on.. Hop on. You can sleep on my back.” Ignoring Yuki’s statement, Mayu showed her back to Yuki, gaining a sigh from the taller lady. Nothing can stop Mayu when she’s being persistent about something.

“It’s embarrassing to do it in public, Mayu. People are looking..” Yuki was still hesitating. Mayu did not want to stop asking Yuki to hop on, so she had no choice but to hop on Mayu’s back. But then again, Mayu’s back was soft and warm. Yuki could just lay her head on Mayu’s back all day long. “Are you sure you won’t mind? I’m heavy though.”

“Yuki, you’re my girlfriend. If I mind about little things like this, I’d be better off dead.”

“Shush, Mayu! I don’t allow you to say anything like that!” Yuki raised her voice a little and smacked her shoulder softly.

“Yes, my princess. Now, where would you like to go?” Mayu said in a gentle and caring tone.

“Let’s go get some ice cream.” Yuki started wriggling her whole body in excitement.
“This will be the third ice cream you’ll be having though.”

“Ice cream now!” Yuki smacked Mayu’s back.

“Yes, princess!” Without hesitation, Mayu carried Yuki to the ice cream store once again and their date continues..


The next day in the office

Yuki looked over at the paper that Jurina was holding and smiled.“I guess it’s almost time for the event of the year, huh?”

“Yeah. It’s in two weeks time.” Jurina leaned back on her chair.

“So... Who’re you gonna go with this year, Jurina?” Yuki asked with her usual sweet smile.

Jurina shot a weird look at Yuki. “Alright. If I’m not mistaken, this would be the second time you ask me this question since we stated working here. The first time would be the very first year we came in here. Every year after that it’s like we were fixed partners even without asking. Weird hearing this from you after so long.. Well, this could only mean one thing. You have someone else to go with, am I right?”

“Jeez, Jurina. I just asked one question and here you go ranting on about our history. And yes, I do have someone else whom I would like to go with. It’s M-”

Jurina finished off Yuki’s sentence with a completely unimpressed tone and expression. “Mayu. Why am I not surprised?”

“You sound unimpressed.” Yuki pouted a little at Jurina’s reaction.

“Yeah, I am.” Jurina folded her arm. “You’d rather go with somebody you’ve just met half a year ago than me. What more that person is Mayu.”

“Yeah, sure. As if you have nobody else to go with.” Yuki asked with a sarcastic tone. “Number one, Mayu’s my girlfriend. So, it’s alright for me to go to the ball with her. Number two, I don’t understand why you have this dislike about me being with Mayu.”

“According to her personality, I don’t think that she’s someone who’s serious with this relationship thing. I just feel that you don’t suit one another.” Jurina said straight to the point.

“Opposites attract. You don’t have to worry so much about my relationship matters, Jurina. I’ll take care of it myself. And you take care of your Princess Rena.”

Once Jurina heard ‘Princess Rena’, she smiled a little. The word Rena seem to have a happy pill effect on Jurina nowadays. “Just make sure you prove me wrong, Yuki.”

“Don’t worry. You’re wrong. As always.” Yuki giggled, earning another smile from Jurina.

Few hours had passed and finally, Mayu and Rena’s shifts were over.

“You don’t have to wait for me, Mayu. I’m meeting up with Jurina in her room. She’s sending me home today.” Rena said with her eyes still fixated to her cellphone.

“Oh yeah? Says who I’m going to wait for you? I’m sending Yuki home. So, depending on what happens later on, I might be home really late or might not be home at all. So, it is YOU who don’t have to wait for me. I’m going up to her room to meet her now.” Mayu said out with a proud tone as if she had just achieved something big.

“Sure. Big deal. Just go already.” Rena rolled here eyes. “Jurina told me that she might be a little late. So I’ll just wait for her awhile.”

“Alright then.. Suit yourself.” Mayu walked over to the elevator and proceeded to Yuki’s room.

When Mayu reached Yuki’s room, she was about to knock on the door when the door popped open. “Oh, hey Mayu. I knew you were coming.”

“So is this why people say lovers have mind reading powers.” Mayu made a joke and it made Yuki giggle a little.

“I guess so.. Come in..” Yuki smiled and welcomed Mayu into the room.

Mayu entered the room and immediately flew towards the couch and laid on it with a pose before looking at Yuki seductively. “Draw me like one of your French girls, Yuki.”

Yuki giggled at Mayu’s playfulness. “It’s weird hearing that from you, Mayu. I thought that the sexy role was supposed to be my role.”

As soon as Mayu heard that, she grinned widely. So wide that her cheeks could tear apart. She immediately shot up from the couch, waiting for Yuki to lie on the couch. Yuki let out a fake cough, “But then again, this is still my office. So, I’m not going to do that.” causing Mayu to pout in disappointment. Yuki then stated. “I was just about to call you into my room when I heard your footsteps outside. Do you know why I wanted to call you in?”

“Because you miss me so much and you wanna kiss me right now?” Mayu grinned like a kid while doing a little kissy face.

Yuki giggled. “Yes, I do miss you and want to kiss you but that’s not why I wanted to call you into my room.”

“Hmm... Let me guess... I get a raise?”

“Nope.”

“Promotion?”

“Nope.”

“You wanted to go on a date with me?”

This time, Yuki rolled her eyes upwards and thought about it. “Pretty much something like that... I want you to be my partner for the AKB hotel annual ball. What do you say?”

“Hmmm? Are you asking me out? ” Mayu acted dumb and blinked her eyes at Yuki. “I’m really hard to get, Yuki.” She loves teasing Yuki like this. Making Yuki feel awkward for asking Mayu out.

Before she knew it, there was an angry vein on Yuki’s forehead, the only thing was that her face was still smiling. “Okay then. Since you’re so hard to get, I’m just going to ask Jurina to be my partner. She’s been my partner for the past few years. I bet she wouldn’t mind.”

“Wait!” It didn’t even take one second for Mayu to reply. “You’re not going without me being your partner, Yuki.”

“Oh? I thought you were really hard to get?” This time it was Yuki’s turn to act dumb and blinked her eyes.

“I must be out of my mind to say something like that. No, Yuki. I’m sorry. I’ll be your partner. Seriously, what’s up with you and Jurina’s relationship anyway? You seemed a little too close to be just friends. Even dancing partners?”

“Are you getting jealous?” Yuki moved closer towards Mayu.

“Of course I am! I’m your girlfriend, right? What kind of g-” Mayu was silenced by a soft kiss on her lips. It lasted for maybe a few seconds. Mayu’s temper went down in a flash.

As Yuki pulled away, she then whispered softly in Mayu’s ear. “Are you still jealous now?”

“Not anymore.” Mayu smiled.

“Alright, back to topic. Do you know how to dance ballroom?” Yuki asked.

“Does it matter?”

“It’s a really big event, Mayu. Only those who knows ballroom dancing will be allowed into the hall. It will be attended by a lot of renowned people so I can’t have you tripping over and making fun of yourself on an important event.”

Mayu shot a suspicious expression at Yuki. “Are you telling me all these so that the guests won’t make fun of you on that day?”

“I’m not doing this for myself, Mayu. I’m doing this for you. I don’t care if they make fun of me. I just don’t want them to see them making fun of YOU. You’re an important person to me. So, I will feel uncomfortable if I see anyone mocking you.” Yuki spoke the truth.

Mayu fell in love with Yuki all over again and grinned happily. “Aww... This is why I love you so much, Yuki.”

“Exactly. So, do you know how to dance?” Yuki asked again.

“As a matter of fact, I do.” Mayu answered. “I attended prom night during my university life. I guess I remember how to dance ballroom.”

“Good. So, there’s no need for me to teach you.” Yuki seemed satisfied.

“If that’s the case, I’m more worried about Rena.” Mayu said.

“Hmm? Why?”

Rena knocked on Jurina’s door. Then Jurina voiced out from inside the room. “Come in.” Rena entered the room and saw Jurina sitting at her usual place, looking at a piece of paper intently, took a glance at Rena and then back at the paper. “You’re just in time, Rena.”

“Hmm? Just in time for what?” Rena tilted her head a little and asked with a questioning tone.

“Have a seat.” Jurina walked over and pulled out the chair for Rena just like how a gentleman would. Guess these little gestures about Jurina that made Rena fall in love with her in the first place. Rena sat down and then Jurina started. “So, every year our hotel will organize an annual ball. I was thinking if...”

As soon as Rena heard the word ‘ball’, she freaked out. “A BALL?? Hold up hold up hold up!” Rena eyes were so wide, they almost popped out of the sockets causing Jurina to be surprised.

“Relax, Rena. It’s just a ball. Why do you look so afraid?” Jurina smiled a little at Rena’s cute reaction.

Rena knew that Jurina was definitely going to ask her to the ball and she was in fact really happy with it. The only thing holding her back was the fact that she didn’t know how to dance. Zero knowledge about ballroom dancing. Heck, she had zero knowledge about dancing, even.

“I’m thinking you should go to the ball with me..” Jurina finally finished off her sentence.

“Er....errr.....” And of course Rena started stuttering. She wanted to say yes to Jurina, but she was afraid that she would make fun of herself.

Seeing that Rena was hesitating a lot, Jurina nodded in disappointment. “I see. You don’t wanna go with me.”

“Of course I would love to go with you!” Rena answered Jurina immediately. “It’s just that....”

“Just that what?” Jurina was beginning to get frustrated until she thought about something. “Ah....” Jurina slowly walked towards Rena while flashing her grin. “Could it be that you don’t know how to dance?”

Rena’s face flashed red in embarrassment because she was completely spot on. Rena just couldn’t bring herself to reveal such a thing. For a lady of her age, it’s weird for someone who had never even gone to even a prom before. Even Mayu went to prom a few times before during their college years. “Well.. What can I say?” Rena scratched her head in embarrassment.

Jurina smiled and nodded. “I see. Since you’re already off duty now, let’s do this right now.”

“Hmm? Do what?” Rena didn’t have a single clue about what Jurina was talking about.

“Something fun.” Jurina chuckled and put on some calm and soothing music before pulling on the back of Rena’s chair.

“Ugh... No. I’m not standing until you tell me what you’re gonna do.” Rena muttered, gripping the edge of the desk to keep from being pulled away.

“Awww.. Come on, Rena. Stand.” Jurina whined a little and pulled instead on her arm this time. Rena almost forgot that Jurina actually knows how to whine a little. After all, she had a serious case of double personality. She had a tough and strict side and the other side of her is like a child. It seemed like Jurina’s little whine was too much for Rena to take and she started loosening herself from the table, bringing Rena to a standing position.

Jurina then drew her to the middle of the room and brought Rena’s hands to her neck, interlocking her fingers at Jurina’s nape. Rena was on the verge of smiling like a mad woman

“We’re going to dance right now. I’m going to teach you some ballroom step by step.” Jurina replied with a chirpy voice, giving Rena her mega-watt smile.

All Rena could do is just smile sweetly back at Jurina. "Fine, but it's not going to be my fault if I step on your foot.." She puffed out air from her cheeks. It took half a minute for them to be in a proper stance.

And then Jurina replied with something that Rena could not come back with. “Sure. As long as you agree to be my partner, I’ll let you step my foot a hundred times.” Jurina’s single sentence made Rena giggle while blushing. “Alright. I need you to follow my steps, alright? I’ll lead you.” And then they started to dance.

Rena adjusted her grip and followed Jurina’s lead. For the first few minutes, Rena was so nervous that her palms were all sweaty. This would be the very first time Rena danced like this.

“And twirl now.” Jurina guided. And... “Ouch.” Rena accidentally stepped on Jurina’s foot.

“I warned you.” Rena playfully showed her tongue at Jurina and smiled.

“I’m not even mad.” Jurina replied with her tongue as well. “Forget about it. You’ll be a better dancer by making mistakes. It’s understandable. Now back in position.”

They continued once again. 1, 2, 3. 1, 2, 3. 1, 2, 3. 1, 2, 3. Box. Box. Box. Box. Rena slowly began to get the hang of it while Jurina, with her eyes closed, pressed her hand into Rena’s back, leading them in more adventurous circles over the carpet. The only thing was Rena’s footings. Rena was concentrating too much on getting her feet right as she kept on looking down.

“Look at me and concentrate,” Jurina instructed intensely, nudging Rena’s chin up with one long finger. “Eye to eye and count out loud if you have to, but don’t look down.”

Rena locked eyes with Jurina, doing her best to keep her feet off of Jurina’s in the process. The turning did not improve so much and their shoes became more worn by the step.

“You must hold me tighter, Rena,” Jurina said, contorting to push Rena’s hand on her back against her harder. “A firm hand is a necessity for ballroom.”

Rena pressed her hand firmly as Jurina instructed. Jurina tilted forward with the motion and a smirk curled the corner of his lips. “Much better.” And with that, they boxed again, Rena’s face slightly hotter than it was before. Just when she thought that they were standing close enough just now, Jurina had to pull her in closer.

“Don’t you think you’re standing too close to me?” Rena said softly while keeping eye contact with Jurina.

“Are you sure? Because I don’t think we’re standing close enough.” Jurina replied with a smirk on her face.

Rena froze at that moment. She didn’t want Jurina to pull her any closer. Her heart would explode. Jurina suddenly twirled Rena around. “Come on, loosen up a bit! How are you supposed to dance?”

“Well, I just started dancing like half an hour ago so you can’t blame me for not knowing how to dance yet.” Rena said in a playful tone.

“Oh, hush!” Jurina laughed and pulled Rena around the room. She continued guiding her and Rena followed easily enough since Jurina seemed to be good at leading her. Every now and then, Rena would step on Jurina’s foot but of course Jurina didn’t mind at all. For the rest of the evening and the week for that matter, Jurina taught her how to dance ballroom even when she protested (as if). And every morning, Rena would wake up with pains in her legs and back but with a smile on her face, waiting for the ball night to come.

___________________________________________________________________________

CHAPTER 15


The hall was filled with people. Not just people. Famous and renowned people. At one corner, secretary Haruna is seen having an intimate conversation with the Head Chef Mariko. The head of the PR department, Yamamoto Sayaka were busy talking to some female guests, or rather flirting with them. Head of receptionist Yokoyama Yui was also there with her girlfriend Shimazaki Haruka. Even Atsuko and MInami attended. They were busy having a great time for themselves as Atsuko was busy running around the buffet table, grabbing onto food that the loves while Minami was busy holding the plates for Atsuko.

“Hey, slow it down, Atsuko...” Minami just got another plate added to her arms. Altogether there were already four plates. Two on the left hand, two on the right hand.

Atsuko didn’t seem to pay attention to what Minami was saying as continued grabbing food and placed it onto another plate. She was smiling and giggling to herself with every dish that caught her eyes. “Fried chicken.. Yummy..”

Minami sighed as Jurina passed by her. “Why the sigh, Minami? It’s supposed to be a cheerful and fun event.” Until The four plates on Minami’s arm caught Jurina’s eye. “Uhm.. There’s a lot of food.”

Without uttering a single word, Minami pointed her face at the buffet area, signifying Atsuko who was cheerfully running around with a plate.

“Ah.. Atsuko with her love of food. I’m not surprised at all.” Jurina let out a short giggle.

Minami sighed. “Sometimes I’m not sure if Atsuko’s dating me or the food.”

Jurina patted Minami’s shoulder. “You’ll get used to it. Just hang in there.”

“Yeah...” Minami then gestured Jurina to come closer which she did. Minami then whispered into Jurina’s ears. “You didn’t invite HER did you?”

“You mean Itano Tomomi?”

“Yes, her, Who else? And please keep it down. Atsuko is very sensitive with that name.”

“I actually did invite her because I had no choice. She’s the president’s daughter. What do you expect me to do? But don’t worry. She’s on a vacation in Germany.”

“Phew..” Minami sighed in relief. “Good thing she didn’t turn up. Or some princess drama shit will happen again.”

“Now that you know that princess isn’t here, you don’t have to worry about anything. Have fun with Atsuko.” Jurina greeted Minami one last time before heading off to greet other guests.

Jurina and Mayu looked extra smart today, with Mayu wearing a black tuxedo while Jurina was dressed in a complete white one. Elegantly holding onto a glass of wine, Jurina was busy having a conversation with some of the guests there until Mayu pulled her over.

“Hey, Jurina. Have you seen Yuki?” Oblivious of the situation, Mayu asked with a big smile on her face.

“That’s rude to pull me out of a conversation just like that, Mayu. I was talking to a CEO.” Jurina glared at Mayu a little with her voice a little raised.

Looking at Jurina’s reaction, Mayu stepped back a little as she realized that she stepped on a tiger tail. “Oh, I’m so so so sorry. I was just a little anxious about Yuki. Have you seen her around?” Mayu apologized and asked.

Jurina let out a loud sigh at Mayu and answered. “She went out with Rena earlier to get their hair done. They should be here soon. Didn’t Rena tell you?” She frowned.

“She’s already gone when I woke up today. Darn it. She doesn’t even pick up her phone.” Mayu cursed silently.

“Don’t worry too much about it. They’ll be here.” Jurina assured

“What if they don’t come?”

“If they don’t come? No worries. Worst case, you’ll be my dancing partner.” Jurina answered cooly and began walking away from Mayu.

“Huh? Who’ll be the guy then?” Mayu asked.

Jurina turned her head and raised an eyebrow at Mayu. “Who do you think? I’ll be the guy of course.” and began walking away again.

“No no no no... I’ll be the guy. I’m the guy in the relationship.”

“Like I’m not.”

“I’ll be the guy!”

Jurina turned back once again. “Are we seriously having an argument about something that is unlikely to happen? Please. Grow up. I have no time to argue with you on such a grand night.”

“But we did made ‘the plan’ together for tonight though. ”

“Damn right. You better make sure you don’t mess this up, Mayu. This plan is one of the biggest highlight for tonight’s ball.”

“Don’t worry. I will not mess it up.” Mayu winked.

Jurina shook her head. “Don’t wink at me, please.” Jurina then made her way back to her guests.

“....Jeez.. She’s so hot headed and serious like an ape. And Rena dare tell me that she has a cute and funny side to her. Boohoo... I call that bullshit.” Mayu showed her tongue behind Jurina’s back.

It was that time when Mayu noticed someone sneaking behind a column at the corner of the ballroom. Mayu saw who was that and decided to pay her a little visit. “Oh, look who’s here... It’s my super duper long lost sister! Hugs!” Mayu demanded and forced a hug. Milky didn’t really responded to the hug, so it made Mayu question her. ”Is something wrong, Milky? Where’s your partner?”

“Uhmmm.... I don’t have one.. I hope somebody would ask me to be her partner though...” Milky then shifted her eyes towards a good looking lady standing with a few younger girls.

Mayu then looked over and grinned. “Ahhh.... You like Sayanee, huh?”

“I...uhmm.....” Milky blushed a little.

“Don’t worry about it. It’s understandable. Most girls fall for her charming looks and her smooth speeches. Well, I agree she’s good in speaking. She’s not the head of the PR department for nothing.” Mayu shrugged.

“Uhmm...” Milky was a little too shy to confront Sayanee.

Good thing Mayu was there to help. She was a little close to Sayanee so she decided to help Milky a little in her love life. “You know what, Milky? I’m going to help you.”

“H-Huh?? Help me?? Help me what??” Milky got panic all of a sudden.

“Don’t worry. Take a deep breath and wait for my good news here.”

Mayu approached Sayanee without a moment of hesitation. As Mayu reached closer, she let out a cough, alerting Sayanee and the few girls. Noticing Mayu, Sayanee told the girls to leave them for a moment and the girls left. The first thing Sayanee did was look at Mayu from head to toe. “Looking good, Mayu... Even though it doesn’t match your personality, but still, I have to say you look good in a tuxedo.”

“Why thank you. You don’t look too bad yourself. You’re definitely killing some ladies tonight.” Mayu nudged her shoulder a little.

“I blame my smooth communication skills.” Sayanee boasted a little. “So, is there anything I can help you with?”

“Do you have a partner for tonight’s ball?” Mayu asked straight out of the blue.

“I haven’t found any yet. Why?” At that moment, Sayanee showed a weird expression at Mayu. “I’m sorry, Mayu. You’re really not my type..”

Mayu rolled her eyes. “Don’t even start. I have no interest in you at all... But someone else may have..”

“Oh? Who?”

“Alright. I’m just gonna cut things short. See Milky right there?” Mayu pointed at the girl standing by the column. “You do know Milky, right?”

Sayanee looked right at the direction of the column and saw Milky. “Yeah, I do... She’s a receptionist, just like you. She’s always looking at me.”

“Yeah. She likes you a lot. And she really hope that you’d be her partner for tonight.” Then, Mayu began frowning as she recalled something Sayanee said. “Wait, you actually noticed her looking at you everyday?”

“Yes, I do.. It’s because I was looking at her too.”

Mayu clapped her hands. “It’s done, then. There’s your ballroom partner right there. I’ll entrust her to you. Make sure she doesn’t feel awkward. She’s my long lost sister, ok?”

“Communication is my specialty. I don’t need you to teach me how not to make someone feel awkward.” Sayanee adjusted her necktie and slowly walked towards Milky.

Milky who was standing by the column noticed Sayanee walking towards her and she immediately looked over to Mayu. Mayu gave her a wink and two thumbs up, signifying that Sayanee will be her partner for tonight. Milky shot a slight smile at Mayu before looking back at Sayanee. Milky couldn’t help but to blush at the sight of the manly looking lady walking towards her.

Mayu felt like she had accomplished something huge for tonight by helping her friend get a date. Now, all that’s left for her is Yuki. It was already 30minutes late, Yuki and Rena were still nowhere to be seen. Mayu became really anxious and she went looking for Jurina again. After awhile, she finally found Jurina speaking to a few guests.

Mayu pulled Jurina out of her conversation for the second time. “Hey, are you sure they’re coming? It’s already 30 minutes late.”

“Mayu, you do that again, I swear I’m going to issue a warning letter to you.” Jurina warned once again. She didn’t like Mayu’s unprofessional behaviour.

“I’m really really sorry. I’m just worried, alright?” Mayu really did seem worried.

“As I said, they’ll be h-” Her sentence was interrupted by something from the ballroom door.

The grand ballroom door opened and the chatters of the crowd below stopped. Two fine looking ladies stood beside each other, glancing back at the crowd silently. The taller lady was wearing a bright red dress that symbolized her elegance. The smooth silk fabric of the dress draped past her toes, slightly drifting from her legs. It fitted flawlessly, the dress molding her torso beautifully and complimenting her feminine shape. Her lustrous diamond earrings glinted, light reflecting from the ballroom's glow. On the other hand the shorter lady standing by her side wore a simple strapless black gown, revealing her precious collarbones wrapped in smooth and alluring, skin. Both their postures was perfect, the shoulders were pulled back and hands were held together in front.

The shorter of the two gulped and whispered. “Yuki, I’m feeling nervous. I never had so many people stare at me like this before.”

Yuki then held onto the shorter girl’s hand softly and smiled. “Don’t worry, Rena. You’ll get used to it soon. Let’s walk down slowly and smile at the guests like how I taught you, ok?”

And then they did. Step by step, they elegantly made their way down the stairs wearing their sweet smile. One thing was for sure, both Yuki and Rena stood out the most compared to the other guests in the ballroom.

As both Yuki and Rena made their way down, murmurs were heard around the hall, but only a few were heard, "Ahhh, they have good taste on clothes.." "Wow, she's beautiful." "She looks great in that outfit, better than what I’m wearing."

Mayu and Jurina had their eyes fixed on their respective partners for the night. Mayu had her mouth pryed open from the sight of Yuki. Jurina merely smiled at Rena and thought to herself. “Tonight’s going to be a long and fun night.”

“My god..” The dazzling beauty of Yuki was almost unbearable for Mayu and that caused her to mumble by herself without realizing. “Yuki’ssodamnbeautifulohmygodIdon’tevenknowhowtoexplainthisshit.”

Jurina intercepted right away. “Mayu. We’re in a grand ballroom filled with respectful people. Mind your words.”

That made Mayu clear her throat and had her eyes fixed back on her beautiful partner. As they made their way towards their respective partners, more murmurs were heard in the hall like “Wow, that’s the CEO’s partner?” “She must be so lucky..”

Ignoring the murmurs around them, Yuki stood in front of Mayu. “Well, w-”

“You look gorgeous if that’s what you want to ask, Yuki. You look absolutely gorgeous.”

Yuki chuckled. “Why thank you, Mayu. You look incredibly handsome today as well.”

“Of course I do.” Mayu adjusted her hair a little before continuing. “I have to look really good if I were to partner you, Yuki. Or else I’d be a laughing stock.”

“I’m happy as long as you’re my partner, Mayu.” Yuki smiled.

“Partner in life too?”

“Yes, Mayu. Of course.” Yuki giggled once again.

“So are you saying you’re gonna marry me?”

“E-Eh??” Yuki got stunned for a moment as her face started turning pink.

“Nah, I’m just kidding.” Mayu let out a laughter

“Oh, god. I got nervous for nothing..” Yuki sighed of relief.

At that time Jurina gave a short glance at Mayu and returned her sight to Rena.

“Maybe next time, Yuki. I still need more time to ‘study’ you..” At that time, Mayu traced her finger on Yuki’s waistline.

Yuki blushed once again and immediately removed Mayu’s finger off her. “We’re in public, Mayu. Stop it.”

“Ok ok. I will... Well, since you’re so beautiful today, I shall start treating you like a queen for the rest of the night.”

“Oh, like how?” Yuki was curious.

“Like doing stuff for you....” Mayu then moved closer to Yuki’s ear and started whispering. “And I’ll let you dominate me in bed.”

Hearing this from Mayu made Yuki’s face turn tomato red and smacked her on the shoulder. “Stop it, Mayu.”

“What? I’m just saying.” Mayu shrugged playfully.
   
At the same time, Rena who was standing in front of Jurna shyly smiled. “Uhm.... So, how do I look today?”

“Do you want to know the truth? Or would you prefer a lie?” Jurina asked.

“Interesting. Let’s hear the lie.” Rena giggled.

“A lie? You look like a monstrosity that just came out from Lady Gaga’s wardrobe.”

Rena giggled a little at Jurina’s ‘straight to the point’ statement. Despite that, Rena was still curious to hear the truth from Jurina. So, to ease her curiosity, she asked again. “What about the truth then?”

“I’m sorry to say this but you are limited to only one choice, m’lady. I’m afraid you’ll have to live with that curiosity for the rest of your life.” Jurina stated in a polite manner.

“Hey! You didn’t say that we’re only limited to one choice! I wanna know what you really think about how I look today..” Rena pouted

Seeing Rena’s cute pout, Jurina couldn’t help it but to smile at her happily and held both her hands. “You look unpleasantly beautiful today, Rena.”

“Unpleasantly beautiful? What does that mean?” Rena tilted her head a little.

“It means, you’re so beautiful that you’re gonna make everyone in the ballroom fall in love with you. And that makes me unpleasant.” Jurina smiled.

“So what if people fall in love with me? It shows just how much I’m desirable and how you’re lucky to have me as your girlfriend.” Rena joked and giggled.

“Desirable? No.” Jurina tilted Rena’s head up with her one finger as her face got closer and closer. With her face centimeters away from Rena’s face and eyes locked, she said with an almost breathless voice. “You’re mine. I won’t allow anybody else to take you from me. Got it?”

Rena blushed so hard at Jurina’s action and comment that she almost forgot how to breathe. She then came back to her senses and took a step back from Jurina. “I almost died of cardiac arrest.”

“Cardiac arrest? I’ll be happy to give you a CPR.”

Rena’s face turned red once again. “Oh my gosh, Jurina. Since when did you become so cheesy??”

“Thanks to you, I’m starting to open up to my feelings.. I just wish that you’ll stay with me forever..”

“I-I...” Rena was simply too shy to respond to that and she changed the subject on the spot. “U-Uh... Y-Yuki chose this dress for me.” She clinged onto Yuki’s arm.

“Figured. Yuki’s really fashionable. She had been a fashionista ever since I met her. So I wouldn’t be surprised that she was the one who chose this dress for you.” Jurina turned over to Yuki and smiled at her. “I must thank you, Yuki.. For dressing Rena up so beautifully for tonight.”

“Don’t thank me. Rena’s just born with a pretty face that suits every dress.” Yuki answered.

Jurina looked at her watch. “Well, since you’re both here, I think it’s time to get on with the special performance for tonight. I need you to wait here, Rena. I’m gonna go prepare something special for the night.”

“Yeah. I should be going too.” Mayu informed Yuki.

“You’re working together in this??” Yuki asked.

Jurina answered. “I could have done this alone, but Mayu insisted on joining me, so I decided to just let her join because she was wasting my time.”

“Meh.. She just couldn’t accept the fact that we work pretty well together. We even practiced together before this.”

“Practice? Practice what?” Rena asked.

“You’ll see soon. Mayu, let’s go.” Jurina ordered and left right away.

“Hmm? Mayu are you gonna tell us?” Yuki asked while grabbing on Mayu’s hand, not wanting to let her go.

“Just sit back and watch, Yuki.” Mayu shot a lovely wink at Yuki and ran after Jurina and into the small door situated at the right side of the ballroom.

“Just what are they planning?” Question marks floated above Yuki’s head.

Ten minutes had passed and yet no sign of Mayu and Jurina.

All of a sudden, the lights in the hall were shut off. Complete darkness. People started voicing out if there was an electricity failure. Just when people were starting to panic a little, a light source came out. Not the lights from the chandelier but a bright spotlight aiming directly at the center of the ballroom where the grand piano is situated at. Everyone was attracted towards that direction. Apparently there was somebody sitting there. It was Jurina. She shot a smile at Rena as she placed her fingers on the keys. The soft piano tune caught everyone’s ears. Everyone in the ballroom were engrossed in the beautiful tune.

Rena and Yuki clasped their fingers together and smiled in awe. A few seconds after Jurina started, another spotlight lighted up on the right side of the hall, showing Mayu holding onto a violin and shot a smile at Yuki.

Rena snapped her fingers. “I knew it! From the moment Jurina started playing the piano, I knew Mayu would be playing the violin. She’s good at playing it after all..”

“Yes yes I know.” Yuki’s smile widened as she clasped her hand harder at Mayu’s entrance.

As soon as Mayu placed the bow on her violin, Yuki literally squealed at Mayu’s coolness. She then started playing a beautiful rendition as she slowly walked down the steps and towards the grand piano. The music echoed throughout the whole ballroom. It’s no doubt that the duet of a piano and violin was really good, no, brilliant. Emotion poured out of each note.

“Wow. I didn’t know Mayu and Jurina can play so well..” Minami stood there in awe.

“Yeah.. I didn’t know too.. They’re really talented.” Atsuko smiled at them.

“Jurina is so cool....” Haruna squealed at Jurina. “I’m totally in love with her.”

That was when a tall lady beside her let out a cough. “You’re in love with who again?”

“Oh, don’t be jealous, Mariko.. I love you more.” Haruna clinged her arm onto the tall lady.

“What a beautiful piece...” Sayanee closed her eyes slowly and let the music run through her mind.

“Wow, I’m surprised.... Mayu’s character doesn’t suit a violin at all.” Milky who was standing beside Sayanee stated.

“There’s a lot of things that you’ll be surprised when you get closer to that person. Just like how I was surprised to see how compatible we are, Milky.” Sayanee looked over to Milky with sparking eyes.

“I...I don’t know what to say..” Milky blushed a little.

“You don’t have to say anything. Let’s listen to this masterpiece for now.”

“Mmhmm..” Milky smiled.


【Violin Piano Duet】ココロ/ Kokoro - Kagamine Rin【Umidori】 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etVh0Hh1SIk#ws)


As soon as their music ended, the whole crowd went wild with applause. Both Mayu and Jurina stood up and bowed to the crowd cheering wildly for them. They made their way back to their partners.

“So, what did you think of the performance?”

“That was so beautiful...” Rena clapped her hands as Jurina approached her.

“You both look so cool..” Yuki was still squealing a little.

“Yeah? Who look cooler?” Mayu asked. Jurina who was curious looked at Yuki as well.

“Don’t be asking such questions, Mayu. You both were equally cool.” Yuki answered.

“Well, I think Jurina looked cooler playing the piano.” Rena clinged her arm on Jurina.

“In that case, I think that Mayu looked cooler with the violin.” Yuki did the same gesture to Mayu.

“It doesn’t matter who’s cooler, alright.” Jurina said.

“Pfft... You’re just saying that because you know deep down inside Rena, she thinks I’m cooler.” Mayu said.

“Don’t even start.” Jurina stated.

At that time, a soft waltz tune came alive. Mayu looked at Yuki and smiled. “May I have this dance, my queen?” Mayu bowed a little and had one hand behind while the other offering out to Yuki.

“Absolutely.” Yuki grabbed onto Mayu’s hand and they made their way to the dancing floor.

Jurina too looked over to Rena and held out one of her hand. “Dance?”

Rena smiled and took her hand and smiled brightly. “Why not?”

As they made their way to the dance floor, Jurina reminded Rena another time. “Do you remember the steps we learnt the other day?”

Rena winked. “Dance and you’ll find out. For now, hold me tight and don’t let go.”

A smirk crawled up into Jurina’s face. “Perfect.”

Everyone started dancing elegantly with their respective partners. Yuki with Mayu. Rena with Jurina. Haruna with Mariko. Atsuko with Minami. Milky with Sayanee. Yui with Paru.  It was definitely a long night for all the couples who attended the ball. But it will be an especially long night for Yuki, Mayu, Rena and Jurina. A really really long and uncomfortable night.....


Chapter 15

*A huge argument will happen in the next chapter.. How huge? Huge enough to mess up at least one relationship. So, Stay tuned~!

_____________________________________________________________________________


CHAPTER 16


“Phew.. That was some dancing..” Mayu let out a loud breath as four of them had a walk outside the garden after the ball.

“Not bad, Rena. You could actually keep up with the flow quite well..” Jurina complimented on Rena’s dancing skills.

“All thanks to you, Jurina. You’re the one who thought me how to dance.” Rena smiled sweetly back at Jurina and looked up into the sky. “The sky is full of stars”

“Well... I can’t see anything.” Jurina shrugged.

“Such a romantic sight..” Yuki smiled at the sky full of stars.

“You know, Yuki... There’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you, but I couldn’t bring myself to say it out.. But if I don’t say it out now, I’m afraid I’ll regret it..” Mayu looked at Yuki lovingly before looking down on the ground for a moment. All of a sudden, Mayu got on one knee.

“Oh my god... Oh my god...” Yuki clasped both her hands on her mouth.

“My shoe is untied.” Mayu started tying her shoes

“Jesus Christ!” Yuki laughed and smacked Mayu on her shoulder. “Stop playing with my feelings like that! You almost gave me a heart attack!”

“Hey... I didn’t say I was gonna propose.. Not yet, at least.” Mayu shot a wink at Mayu as she finished tying her shoes.

“Yeah, so what were you gonna say that’s so important?”

“I noticed that this dress was actually a little too tight for you. I think you gained some weight. You should lose some.” Mayu started laughing.

“Oh, how dare you!” Yuki continuously hit Mayu playfully as the shorter girl started flinching to every hit. “Forget it. I’m going to the washroom.”

“To take a dump to lose some weight?” Mayu joked once again.

“Yeah. I’m gonna take a dump. A huge one.” Yuki showed her tongue at Mayu playfully.

“Eww.... You’re gross, Yuki.” Mayu flinched a little from Yuki’s answer. “I never thought you’d actually say that.”

“I’ve gained some sense of humor.” Yui joked.

“From who, I wonder?” Mayu shot a wide grin at Yuki.

“Not gonna say.” Yuki giggled before turning over to Rena. “Rena, you wanna come along? To freshen up?”

“Of course. You both stay here. Don’t fight, ok?” Rena caressed Jurina’s face before leaving to the washroom with Yuki.

“Mayu, come here.” As soon as Yuki and Rena were out of sight, Jurina gestured Mayu to come over.

“Uhm.. Okay?” and Mayu did.

“You should stop playing with Yuki like that.”

“Wow, I don’t know what’s with the random blurt from you so suddenly. And I’m not sure if I understood what you’re talking about now.”

“The way you’re treating Yuki.. I don’t like it.”

“I don’t see her unhappy though. She’s been smiling and laughing at all my jokes.”

“Using marriage as a joke is a little overboard, don’t you think?”

Mayu was a little speechless. Maybe Jurina was right. Eventhough Yuki new Mayu was joking, marriage isn’t something you should joke about. “Come on, don’t be like this.” Mayu tried to put an arm over Jurina’s shoulder just as a sign of joke.

Instead of receiving it, Jurina dodged it and smacked Mayu’s hand out of the way. “I’m serious here. Yuki is a very important person to me. It would hurt me to see her sad. Didn’t you see the look on her face everytime you joked about getting married and proposing?”

“Hey, calm down. Why are you getting so worked up for?” Mayu started getting confused. “We even performed earlier together, right?”

“You forced yourself onto me. Everything is a joke to you. You think everyone can put up with all your jokes and your annoying behaviour. Well, guess what? You’re wrong.” Jurina started getting really worked up.

“Hey, it’s not my fault that you don’t know what a joke is.”

“So you’re saying that I’m the problem here? You’re blaming me for lacking in sense of humor?”

“Wait, what’re we talking about again?” Mayu got confused al over again.

“You should not treat Yuki like that. She’s not your toy. You’re treating her as someone that has no pride.”

“Once again, I’m not toying with Yuki. I’m joking with her. She knows it. She accepts all my jokes at least. Unlike you, taking everything seriously and lose your shit over petty stuff like this. My relationship with Yuki is going pretty well and I don’t need YOU to teach me how to manage the relationship, alright?”

“You managing the relationship well? You have a long way to go till you understand the meaning of management. Mark my words, you and Yuki will never work out.”

This time, Mayu was the one who started getting worked up. “Why do you always treat me so badly, huh?”

“Don’t even start, Mayu.” Jurina pointed at Mayu’s face and warned.

“Why not? You wanted an argument, I’ll give you an argument. You do not like me. You think I didn’t notice it? Ever since the day Yuki and I were together, you haven’t been treating me nicely. Every little thing I do, you’ll make a fuss over it and start scolding me over small mistakes I make. You even scolded me like a dog just because I misplaced a stapler? Are you kidding?”

“Look. W-”

Mayu started raising her voice. “I’m not done! You keep giving me reasons to keep me in my seat so that I won’t get to meet up with Yuki often. Why would you wanna mix up working life with personal life? How UNPROFESSIONAL of the so-called-CEO of one of the best hotels in the world. BOOHOO! You’re by far one of the worst CEO I’ve ever seen!”

“That’s enough!” Jurina raised her voice as well.

“Why do you dislike us being together so much, huh? You don’t see me hating on you for being with Rena.”

“That’s because you know I was able to lead a relationship so much better than you did. You just want to play. You just want to have fun with Yuki. In the end, she’ll be the one who will get hurt. Yuki is my best friend. Seeing her getting hurt is the last thing I wanna do.”

“Yeah? ”

“That’s enough. All I want to tell you is that you should not play with Yuki’s feelings. If you want the best of Yuki, I suggest you best stop playing with her or better yet, stay away from her.”

This statement surprised Mayu. “Excuse me? With your attitude like this, it’ll be best for Rena if you left her too. Please look at yourself in the mirror before you judge others.”

“I’m different than you. You know it..”

“Oh, yeah. You’re right. I’m not a hot pot who doesn’t understand jokes. Being as you are, if you don’t start opening up and start accepting jokes, it’s YOUR relationship with Rena that will never last long!”

“You are the one who needs change! Don’t teach me what to do!” Jurina growled.

“Yuki loves me the way I am right now. The problem here is YOU! Just because you have daddy problems, you lash everything out on me!? Give me a break!”

Jurina’s ears twitched a little. “Daddy.....problems..” Hearing this from Mayu made Jurina burst. All her concealed anger exploded just from a single sentence. In the blink of an eye, Jurina had both her hands on Mayu’s collar and pushed her all the way to the wall, causing a loud thud on Mayu’s back. Jurina’s anger caused her hands to tremble as she glared right into Mayu’s eyes from up close. Word by word escaped slowly from Jurina’s mouth but very much imbued with anger. “WHERE.DID.YOU.HEAR.THIS.FROM.”

Mayu was shaken and mostly confused from Jurina’s physical action towards her. “H-Huh? H-Hear what? Calm down please.. I don’t know what I said but I’m sorry! Just calm down, ok?”

Right at that time, Rena and Yuki came back from the toilet and saw the scene of Jurina holding Mayu by the collar against the wall. They immediately intercepted them. Rena pulled Jurina back with all her strength while Yuki pried Jurina’s arms off Mayu’s collar. Yuki then corrected Mayu’s collar before questioning them. “What the hell is going on here??”

Jurina still have not cut eye contact with Mayu. As soon as Rena appeared beside her, she shot a small glare at Rena. Seemingly confused of the situation, Rena asked. “Jurina? What happened?”

Jurina let out a loud sigh and turned around, back facing them. “I need to speak to Rena alone. Leave us, Mayu.. You too, Yuki.”

“If you say so....” Yuki walked over towards Mayu and looked back.

“Uhm.. You both can head home first. We’ll catch up soon.” Rena stated.

“Are you sure?” Mayu gave a last glance at Jurina.

“Leave now.” Jurina repeated once again, without looking at Mayu’s face. She knew that she would lose it if she comes in eye contact with Mayu again.

“We should go, Mayu..” Yuki tugged on Mayu’s arm.

“Look.. I don’t know what I said that made you so upset, ok? Even if I did, you have to learn to take things calmer. You have a serious problem, Jurina. You better fix up that attitude of yours or you’ll regret it someday.” Mayu warned Jurina.

“I said LEAVE US!” This time, Jurina shouted, causing Yuki to be stunned as well.

“You don’t have to shout at Mayu, Jurina! What’s wrong with you!?” Yuki got mad as well.

Jurina turned around again and confronted Yuki. She stood right in front of Yuki, face inches away from one another. With a tone filled with anger, Jurina uttered. “You don’t know what happened, so I suggest you take her away from here before I lose my temper on you too, Yuki.”

“....” Yuki blinked a few times, dumbfounded at Jurina’s behaviour. Jurina had never talked to Yuki like this before. She wondered again and again, what could have made Jurina treat her like this. “Mayu’s right.. You have issues, Jurina... You never speak in that tone with me before.. Let’s leave, Mayu.” And they were gone, leaving Rena and Jurina alone at the garden.

“Why did you fight with Mayu?” Rena confronted Jurina.

“She was playing with Yuki’s feelings.”

“They’re adults, Jurina. They can solve their relationship themselves.”

“No! You don’t understand, Rena. Yuki was my first friend. The only friend whom pass through many hardships with me. I can’t afford to see her get hurt in the end.”

“Mayu may be playful at times, but when it comes to being in a relationship, she’s serious about it. You don’t have to worry about it.”

“I highly doubt it. Sooner or later she’s going to dump Yuki after she’s done playing.” Jurina hissed.

Rena got shocked. “Hey! I don’t allow you to speak about Mayu like that! She’s my best friend!”

“Alright then. Let’s not talk about her. Let’s talk about YOU.” Jurina looked right at Rena’s eyes with a cold expression and raised her voice. “Why did you tell Mayu about my dad!?”

“What??” Rena was confused.

“Don’t give me that look. You did tell her, didn’t you?”

“Huh-What? I didn’t! I swear!”

“Don’t lie to me! She told me straight to my face that I have daddy problems! The only one who knows about this is you. It has to be you who told her!”

“Listen to me, Jurina. I really kept it a secret. I didn’t tell anybody! You have to believe me!” Rena begged.

It was actually a misunderstanding. Mayu didn’t know anything about Jurina’s dad. Mayu’s statement about Jurina having daddy problems was actually a spontaneous sentence thought up by her on the spot. Let’s just say Mayu thought of the wrong thing to say at the wrong time. Which was why Mayu was so confused when Jurina started acting up on her.

“Liar!!” Jurina shouted right in front of Rena’s face. “You’re the same as my dad.. You never keep to your words.”

“But Jurina, I-”

“Leave! I don’t want to see you anymore!”

“Please listen to me, Jurina. I didn’t tell it to anybody.” Rena begged again for Jurina to listen to her explanation.

Knowing Jurina’s character, she decided not to believe this fact and instead actually believed that Rena told Mayu everything. Jurina started losing her mind and started blurting some things that weren’t supposed to be said out. “I don’t want to listen! You’re the same with him! You’re the same with HIM! You’re all the same! You’re a fraud! There’s no way I can be with a fraud like you!”

Those last few words uttered from Jurina stabbed right into Rena’s heart. Rena slowly shook her head as tears rolled down her face. She just couldn’t take it anymore. Her crushed feelings started pouring out in the form of tears. Rena sniffed. “I don’t even know you anymore... You’re not Jurina...”

That statement striked Jurina hard. At that point only did she realize that she had said something really wrong. “Rena.. I..I’m really sor-”

“DON’T--!!" Her sudden blurt from her heart caused Jurina to stumble back. She could see Rena shaking and her voice is cracked too. There's no need for words to tell Jurina how much Rena is infuriated and sorrow. "Don’t you dare...apologize after you say those words to me."

"..." At this point, Jurina knew she could never go back on her words anymore. It was already too late.

“There are some words that can’t be taken back once it’s said..” Rena said with her heavy heart and eyes welled in tears.

“Rena..”

“You don’t want to see me anymore? Fine. I’ll stay as far away from you as I can. You won’t have to see me anymore.... You think there’s no way for you to be with a fraud like me?” Rena bit her lip for a moment as her eyes started welling up with tears once again. As she let out a huge breath, her sadness exploded. “FINE! We’ll break up then. You’ll never be happy with a fraud anyway.”

“...”

“Have a nice day.” Without another word,

And at that exact moment, a thunder began crackling and it started raining heavily out of the blue. Every raindrop that landed on Jurina’s face slowly made her regret everything she said today. It was such a calm night as well, and it just had to rain heavily so suddenly. Maybe some things were just meant to happen. Or maybe the rain was just signifying her very own feelings right now and definitely Rena’s feelings as well. As she held out her hand to feel the rain splashing on her palms, it felt as if those were Rena’s tears and how much of a depressed state she must be in right now. Jurina let out a deep breath. “What have I done....”

Mayu heard the front door closed and immediately rushed downstairs. “Rena?”

As Mayu reached the bottom, she got shocked from the sight of Rena soaking wet, still wearing her ballroom dress. Her make up were completely smeared from the heavy rain. Rena wasn’t doing anything. She just stood there, staring at the ground like someone from an asylum.

“Oh gosh, Rena!? What happened!?” Mayu immediately attended to Rena and stood in front of her, guiding her towards a chair and sat her down. Even after sitting down,

“Rena? Hello there?” Mayu snapped her fingers. “Don’t scare me, Rena. What happened?”

“Mayu...?” Rena slowly looked up at Mayu’s face.

“I’m right here, Rena. Tell me what happened.” Mayu looked more and more worried.

“Do you think I’m a fraud?” There were tears in Rena’s eyes when she asked this question. The scary thing was that Rena had her eyes wide open. She seemed like someone who had just lost her mind.

“No, you’re not a fraud, Rena.”

“Then why did Jurina call me a fraud? Why did she call me a liar??” Rena’s voice was completely monotonous.

“Wha- Why did she call you that??” Mayu was surprised.

“I’m very sad, Mayu..and angry at the same time... I don’t know what to do.” Rena looked like she was suffering a lot from inside her heart. She didn’t know how to react to the shock she had earlier. “I don’t know if I should scream or cry...”

Judging from everything Rena said, Mayu knew something really bad must have happened between Rena and Jurina. So, Mayu decided not to question about the matter for now. “It’s alright, Rena. You can cry and scream all you want. Just let everything out.”

And she did. The whole house was filled with cries of help and suffering. It was loud, and Rena was crying uncontrollably. Good thing Mayu was there to accompany her. It lasted for about fifteen whole minutes and Rena finally settled down. First, Rena told Mayu the story about Jurina’s dad and what happened at the garden earlier.

“Wait, Jurina actually had problems with her father? I didn’t know! I swear! It just came out of my mouth spontaneously. I just didn’t expect that she actually had problems with her father..”

“Nothing matters now, anyway...” Rena sobbed.

“I’m really sorry, Rena.. I didn’t mean to ruin your relationship like this..”

“No.. It’s not your fault, Mayu.. It’s Jurina’s. How could she just blame me for it without a second thought? She doesn’t even trust me, her very own girlfriend. She actually compared me to her father who abandoned her! How would you expect me to be with her like this?”

“I’m sorry to hear this, Rena...”

“I’m really tired, Mayu... I just want to take a warm shower and go to sleep right now..”

“Alright. Just come in my room if you have anything to talk about, ok?” Mayu said.

“I will.” Rena nodded and the night ended right there as they got back to their respective rooms.

Mayu yawned as her alarm clock rang. The first thing she did was to check on Rena. As she was creeping up towards Rena’s room, she heard some loud music coming from Rena’s room. “Hey that’s weird. That sounded like Dance Dance Revolution.” Not only that, Mayu heard some laughters as well coming from the room.

Mayu slowly opened the door to Rena’s room and saw Rena jumping and dancing around to the game. Mayu’s mouth was literally pried open from the shock of a cheerful Rena.

Rena noticed her friend standing by her door and greeted her cheerfully. “Hey, Mayu! What’s up!!”

“Uhh...” Mayu squinted her eye a little from the cheerful Rena. Something feels wrong.

“Wanna play some Dance Dance Revolution with me?”

“Aren’t you.....?”

“What?”

“Uhhh......” Mayu was still confused.

“Don’t just stand there like an idiot, Mayu. If you’re not gonna play then I’m just going to start a new game.”

Mayu thought that maybe Rena actually wants to forget about unhappy thoughts once and for all, so she joined in the fray as well. For the sake of her best friend. “OI OI! Don’t leave me out on this!”

After hours and hours of laughing, cursing, cheating and pushing around, they finally finished the whole game. They both sat on the couch, tired from all the dancing. Silence engulfed the room for a short moment as they panted from their extreme dancing routines. Rena suddenly initiated a conversation. “Hey Mayu.”

“Yeah?”

“Are you going to work tomorrow?”

Uh-oh.. Rena’s talking about work. What’s she gonna say now, Mayu thought. “Uhm.. Sure. Why?”

Rena took out a letter “Pass this letter to Jurina for me.”

“Is this what I think it is?” Mayu held the letter up.

“I plan on quitting the job, Mayu. Not because of my relationship with Jurina. I’ve decided that I have a lot more to learn in the outside world rather than just work inside a box.”

“Yeah, right. You expect me to believe that lie, Rena? That’s the lamest excuse I’ve ever heard.”

“Alright, fine! Partially because of the relationship, ok? But it’s also true that I want to see the world more. I’ve to move on in my life someday and I guess now’s the best time. I can’t let something like ‘Jurina and I broke up because she has some daddy issues and I’m feeling sad about it’ hold me back. You get me?” Rena explained.

After a short moment of silence, Mayu nodded. “Yeah, I get you.”

“So.... Is there anything you want me to tell her?” Mayu asked.

“Oh, you don’t have to say anything. You just have to help me do something.. As a parting gift.”

“Hmm?”



The next day, AKB Hotel lounge


Mayu arrived earlier than expected. The first thing Mayu did when she arrived was to look for Jurina. All of a sudden...

“Mayu!” A voice called out for her. A voice that belongs to whom she wanted to meet.

Mayu turned around and noticed Jurina walking towards her.

“I was looking for you.” Jurina started the conversation.

“Coincidence.. I was looking for you too.”

“You wanna go first?” For some reason, Jurina was being really nice to Mayu.

“No, no. Please. Go ahead.” Mayu insisted on Jurina speaking out first.

After letting out a deep breath, Jurina started. “I wanna apologize to you for what happened the other day.. You were right about me. I was a fool.”

“Hell right, you are. I’ve warned you before, right? That you’ll regret it someday. Never thought you’ll regret on the day itself. And one more thing. The stuff about your daddy? Rena never did told me anything. I was actually completely clueless about it. I know I may have said the wrong thing at the wrong time, but despite that, you actually chose NOT to believe in Rena, your very own girlfriend. Just...wow.”

Jurina looked down a little in shame. She then looked around and noticed that Rena wasn’t there. “Where’s Rena?”

“She’s alive if that’s what you wanna know. Why bother asking? You didn’t want to see her anyway. So, you’ll get what you wish for.”

“...”

“Here, Rena has something for you.” Mayu took an envelope out of her bag and handed it over to Jurina. “This is her resignation letter. She’s quitting her job as a receptionist.”

Jurina took the letter from Mayu’s hand and questioned her. “Why didn’t she pass this to me herself?”

Mayu shook her head. “Oho.... That’ll be too convenient for you, don’t you think so? It’s too late for regret, Jurina. She’s not gonna see you anymore. Oh, before I forget.. Rena have a parting gift for you.”

“What is it?”

“This.” Mayu immediately landed a punch across Jurina’s face. A punch so hard that it made her topple onto the ground. Everyone who was there, staff and guests alike, stood up in shock at the scene. “Yup. This punch was from Rena for saying hurtful words to her and breaking her heart.”

“...” No words came from Jurina. Maybe she knew that she actually do deserve the punch.

“Second, this.” Mayu took out another letter from her bag and tossed it at Jurina. “I’m quitting too. If Rena’s not working here with me anymore, then I have no reason to stay as well. I’ve already talked to Yuki about this. She understands me.”

“....” Still no words from Jurina. She just kept quiet.

“You can sue me for all I care. As long as you stay away from Rena from now on. Hope you have a pleasant stay here, miss.” After saying everything she had to say, Mayu walked out the main entrance and headed back home.

Yuki who was standing by the side the whole time finally walked over towards Jurina and helped her up. “You alright, Jurina?”

“Yeah... You saw the whole thing?” Jurina questioned in a depressed tone.

“As a matter of fact, I did. And I’ve to tell you this, I actually felt relieved when Mayu gave you that punch.” Yuki said.

“Gee.. Thanks a lot. I bet you’re all happy that I finally get paid for my bad temper.”

“I know you lost your temper the other night because you were trying to protect me. You care about me a lot. I understand. But you too have to understand now, Jurina. You don’t have to protect me forever. I have Mayu to do the job for you now. She’s doing a really good job.” Yuki smiled. “Sometimes, you gotta fall for you to get back up. As for you, maybe you needed a little physical to get you back on the right track. Just look at how you spoke with Mayu earlier. How polite and humble.. I’m impressed, actually. I’ve never actually seen you speaking to Mayu so politely before.”

“Are you teaching me how to speak with people now?”

“Yes I am, Jurina. I am teaching you how to speak with people. Just like the first time we met. Remember?”

“Yeah, I do.. Speaking 101, right? Step one, approach a stranger. Step two, introduce yourself. Step three, initiate a comfortable conversation and make sure to speak humbly and politely. The first three basic steps that brought us this far..”

“Exactly..” Yuki giggled. “Come on, let’s get you fixed up.” Yuki patted the dust off Jurina’s pants and walked with Jurina back to her room.

On the way, Jurina did think about something else. “Do you think.....”

“That Rena will forgive you?” Yuki was smart enough to finish off Jurina’s statement. “Well, you did say some hurtful things to her, so I must say as of now, definitely not. Just give her some time to chill, alright?”

“Given enough time to her, do you think she’ll ever forgive me?” Jurina asked again.

Yuki sighed. “I don’t know, Jurina. I really can’t answer you. Only time will tell.”

What do I think about this chapter.

It is awesome update. But the misunderstanding part it kind of surprise to me Jurina just accuse Rena that she told Mayu regards about her dad.
I had also forgotten about Jurina's dad problem as the time goes by. (need to read the whole story again XD )
Jurina and Mayu both care about their best friend but Jurina seem to be over a bit.

What I think of the Management Affairs.

Overall, I think it is awesome chapter like supernatural partners. I like how Mayu and Rena friendship and small gag when they are fighting with each other. ( this part I will remember probably because mayu and rena is my oshimen XD takamina kind of out of my oshimen list XD )

I also like Jurina and Yukirin character in the story. Like how Jurina like will let Yukirin win the fight despite of her serious  attitude. (Kind of do not know how to explain.. )

When there had Mayuki and Wmatsui moments, some of the chapters are cute and fluffy at the same time XD

(my comment for now from what I had remember.. hehe)

“Alright then. Let’s not talk about her. Let’s talk about YOU.” Jurina looked right at Rena’s eyes with a cold expression and raised her voice. “Why did you tell Mayu about my dad!?”

“What??” Rena was confused.

“Don’t give me that look. You did tell her, didn’t you?”

“Huh-What? I didn’t! I swear!”

“Don’t lie to me! She told me straight to my face that I have daddy problems! The only one who knows about this is you. It has to be you who told her!”

“Listen to me, Jurina. I really kept it a secret. I didn’t tell anybody! You have to believe me!” Rena begged.

“Liar!!” Jurina shouted right in front of Rena’s face. “You’re the same as my dad.. You never keep to your words.”

“But Jurina, I-”

“Leave! I don’t want to see you anymore!”

“Please listen to me, Jurina. I didn’t tell it to anybody.” Rena begged again for Jurina to listen to her explanation.

Knowing Jurina’s character, she decided not to believe this fact and instead actually believed that Rena told Mayu everything.

You’re a fraud! There’s no way I can be with a fraud like you!”

Those last few words uttered from Jurina stabbed right into Rena’s heart. Rena slowly shook her head as tears rolled down her face. She just couldn’t take it anymore. Her crushed feelings started pouring out in the form of tears. Rena sniffed. “I don’t even know you anymore... You’re not Jurina...”
OMG!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO  :mon waterworks: :mon nwei:

That statement striked Jurina hard. At that point only did she realize that she had said something really wrong. “Rena.. I..I’m really sor-”

“You don’t want to see me anymore? Fine. I’ll stay as far away from you as I can. You won’t have to see me anymore.... You think there’s no way for you to be with a fraud like me?” Rena bit her lip for a moment as her eyes started welling up with tears once again. As she let out a huge breath, her sadness exploded. “FINE! We’ll break up then. You’ll never be happy with a fraud anyway.”
YES! HAPPY NOW JURINA!?  :mon pissed: No? wait? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Dun say that Rena breaking up!?  :mon scare:

ENJOY~!

________________________________________________________________



CHAPTER 17 (FINAL CHAPTER)


*Knock knock*

“Come in.” Jurina called out as the door opened to reveal Yuki. Even without looking up, Jurina knew it was Yuki who came in because of her perfume smell. As Jurina continued ruffling on her paperworks, she started. “You’re looking for me?”

Yuki walked in and took a look at the paperworks on Jurina’s table. “You’re still working on that?”

“No choice. NMB company needs this by next week. I have to get this done as soon as possible.” That was when Jurina placed the papers on the table and looked up at Yuki. “You seem free. Don’t you have to handle this as well?”

“I uhm... Have something more important to attend to after this.” Yuki seemed to be fidgeting to every word uttered.

Jurina found this really strange. “Okay? What’s more important than this as of now? You sound like you have something to tell me but yet you’re keeping quiet over there.”

After thinking about it for a moment, Yuki started, “I’m just gonna ask you one question first, Jurina..”

“Go ahead.” Jurina gestured.

“Are you not the slight bit curious about Rena’s whereabouts? It’s been two weeks since you last contacted her.”

Jurina remained silent for a short moment before grabbing onto her paperworks again. “If that’s what you’re here for, then I’d rather just finish off my job here.”

“You should meet her, Jurina. She had forgiven you. She’s not mad about it anymore.” Yuki convinced.

“Alright, I don’t know what’s gotten into you, but I think you need some medication for coming in my room and spurting out nonsense like this. Please, Yuki. I don’t really need any of that right now.” Jurina uttered as she continued doing her stuff.

“I’m telling the truth, Jurina. Rena had let this matter go for quite some time. I really really think that you should go meet with her now.”

Jurina then tossed her paperworks on her table. “You don’t understand, Yuki. It’s not about Rena forgiving me or not. It’s about me not forgiving myself for the things I said towards her, towards everyone. You want to know the truth? Yes, I regret it. I regret acting like a strong person when deep inside, all I want was to cry at my daddy. And I regret letting this ‘daddy’ matter overshadow my conscience, forcing me to say things I don’t want to people I love. After all these... Do you still think that I have any face at all to meet the one person whom I loved but also hurt the most?” Jurina let out a really loud sigh. “I’m sorry, Yuki. But I don’t think I can ever face her after what I did to her.. Just because I let my past haunt me, I’ve hurt her deeply. That’s one thing that I could never take back.”

“...” Yuki definitely understood what’s going through Jurina’s mind right now. They did grew up together for a reason. “I know how you’re feeling right now, Jurina. I really do. But this might actually be the last time you’ll see Rena until the next few years.”

Jurina was startled from this statement from Yuki. “Huh? What do you mean?”

“Rena recently found a job as an International Aid Worker. It means she will be traveling around the world for quite some time. Her flight is actually at 5pm today. You see, I was gonna go to the airport for her farewell after this.”

“She’s leaving today!? Why haven’t I heard about this?”

“Why should you?” Yuki was right. It’s not like Jurina kept in contact with Mayu and Rena any longer.

“And you kept this from me all this time?” Jurina questioned.

“I could have just kept quiet and left for the airport earlier, but here I am.” Yuki said.

“I.....” Jurina swallowed her saliva and shut her eyes as she placed her thumb and index finger on her forehead.

Yuki convinced Jurina. “It’s already 2pm now. If you chose not to go, the chances are, the next time you meet her will actually be at least few years from now.. Do you actually want to make a decision that you’ll regret for another time?”



At the Airport

Mayu placed her chin on the table. “I hate you...”

Rena, who was sitting opposite Mayu placed her chin on the table as well. “Tell me something new.”

“Tell you something new? Alright. Bring me along with you then.”

“Uhm... No.”

“Why not.”

“That’s because I got accepted and you didn’t. If you insist on going, you have to buy your own flight ticket.” Rena showed Mayu her tongue.

“It’s all your fault that I didn’t get accepted..” Mayu blamed Rena as she poked her forehead with her finger.

“Hey, don’t blame me. They only wanted one worker, so tell that to them.” Rena shrugged and removed Mayu’s finger off her forehead.

“Guess I’ll be a jobless person from now on..” Mayu sighed.

“For Christ sake you have a Masters Degree, Mayu. Given your abilities, you won’t stay jobless for long. Besides, you still have plenty of salary earned while working in AKB Hotel, right?”

“Yeah, totally. I’ll give that like half a year max before I wiped it all clean.”

“Then you’ll have five months to find another job.”

“You’re saying as if finding job is easy.” Mayu rolled her eyes.

“With the Masters Degree you have? Most definitely. You’re just lazy, Mayu.”

“Hey, I’m not lazy, alright? I’m hardworking......in bed.”

“Whatever, Mayu. Just make sure you don’t have to live under a bridge.”

“No worries. If I ever go bankrupt, I’ll just live in Yuki’s house.” Mayu showed her tongue.

“What, you’re gonna live off Yuki’s money? You prideless monkey.” Rena joked.

Mayu being oblivious to what Rena said, digged her ears. “Wow, I got shit stuck in my ears. I can’t hear anything.” That was when she remembered something. “Hey, didn’t Yuki say that she’s coming? Where’s she??”

“Maybe she’s busy?” Rena said.

“No, she’s not. She told me that she’d come by any means necessary. Yuki will never lie to me.” Mayu pouted a little.

At that time, an announcement was made for Rena’s flight to start boarding. “I think I should board the flight now..”

“Wait wait... Let me call Yuki to ask her first.” Mayu rustled for her phone.

“There’s no need to, Mayu. If she’s busy then leave it. You don’t have to disturb her. Help me send my regards to Yuki, ok? Tell her I miss her.” Rena smiled.

“Only Yuki? Or there’s someone else?” Mayu side-eyed Rena.

“....”

“Hmmmmmmmmmmm.......???” Mayu pulled her voice on purpose, knowing that there’s someone else whom Rena missed more.

“Think what you want, ok? I don’t even care anymore.” Rena rolled her eyes. “Well, I should be going now..”

“Rena!!” A loud voice echoed throughout the airport and into Rena’s ears as was about to pick up her luggage. Yuki appeared, followed by Jurina who was walking behind. “I’m so sorry I was late.”

“I kinda guessed that Yuki would be bringing Jurina along.. Maybe that’s why she was late.” Mayu whispered to Rena.

Rena just remained silent as she looked on at Yuki and Jurina walking towards her.

“Sorry we’re late.” Yuki scratched her head.

Mayu acted dumb even though she knew Jurina was going to come. “I see someone tagged along.”

“I was the one who convinced Jurina to come, Mayu.” Yuki said.

Mayu whispered into Rena’s ears. “What did I say?”

Jurina started with a very awkward greeting. “Hi...” This is the first time Jurina spoke to Rena ever since the day they broke up.

“Ah.. Mayu, I felt like having an ice cream now. Mind coming with me to buy it?” Yuki tugged her arm over Mayu’s arm.

Despite Yuki pulling her, Mayu remained at the same spot, not wanting to leave. “Later, Yuki. I wanna watch this drama.”

“Let’s go, Mayu!” This time, Yuki tugged harder and managed to drag Mayu out of the area.

That was when Jurina started opening her mouth. “So.... You’re leaving already?”

“Yeah.. I’m gonna be an International Aid Worker. I’ll be traveling around a lot.” Rena let out a small yet sincere smile.

“How long will you be gone?”

“I can’t confirm that with you. Maybe years.” Rena said.

“Are you sure you’ll be alright with this job? It’ll be really tiring..” Jurina sounded really worried.

“Why not? It’s similar to being a receptionist where I talk to strangers and help them out. It’s just in a wider range than a receptionist. Besides, I get to travel for free. So, yeah.. Can’t say I hate it. And It’s worth getting tired for..”

Jurina smiled and nodded. “Whatever you choose to do, I’ll support your decision. You’re a smart girl. If you made this choice, it means you should probably know what you’re doing. Don’t ever make the wrong choice...like I did.”

Rena grew silent for a moment before letting out a smile, knowing what Jurina was actually talking about. “I’m already over it, Jurina. It’s fine. Thinking too much of the past will just hinder you from moving forward. I’m currently starting my new life from scratch. No history. Nothing. Just me, going out there traveling and helping people out. It’ll be fun. I wouldn’t even have time to think about the past.”

“I’m glad that you actually understand... Oh, and I have something to give you...” Jurina then took out a familiar star shaped cardboard and handed over to Rena. “Remember this star you gave me on my birthday? You told me that if I wrote a wish on this star, then it will come true. I don’t actually believe in things like this, but I thought it wouldn’t hurt to do it, so why not? Here. I want you to have it. This is my wish. Forgive me for the ugly handwriting. I wrote it down on the way to the airport. The road was bumpy.”

As Rena took the star shaped cardboard from Jurina, she remembered the events of Jurina’s birthday and smiled to herself. “Yes, I remember this...”



“Hmm.... Ah... Found something..” Rena grabbed something. She then proceeded to the counter and paid for it before returning to Jurina.

“You bought something without my consent. Why are you so sure that I would want what you bought?”

“Because I believe that you might need this. Here you go.” Rena took out a star-shaped cardboard. “You can write your wish on this star and your wish will come true. Just keep it with you at all times. Just like the star sicker I gave you earlier.”

“So you’re telling me if I write a wish on this star, it will come true? What if it doesn’t come true?”

“Well, then at least you still can use it as a bookmark, right?” Rena shrugged.

“Hmm... Alright, then. I’ll accept this present from you.” Jurina nodded and took the star from Rena’s hand and kept it in her pocket. “So altogether, I received two presents from you today. A ‘good luck charm’ star sticker and a ‘wish come true’ star cardboard.”




As Rena was about to turn over the star to read the ‘wish’ that Jurina left, she stopped and smiled at Jurina. “I think I’ll read it on the plane.”

At that time, Yuki and Mayu came back and an announcement was made for Rena’s plane to board once again. She then sighed loudly at the three of them. “I have to go now..”

“I’m going to miss you a lot, Rena. Have fun.” Yuki went in for the hug and Rena replied with a hug as well.

“I will.. You too, Yuki. Don’t overwork yourself, alright? If you have any problems at all, you can always find Mayu.. She’s quite dependable at times.”

“Damn, Rena. You sound really weird right now.” Mayu was definitely not used to hear from Rena that she’s dependable.

Rena turned over to Mayu. “Well what about you, Mayu? Any last words?”

“Well, hope you don’t die.” Mayu joked.

“Come on, Mayu... Seriously?”

“Alright, alright. I guess my daily life would be different without you.. Nobody to annoy, nobody to hang out with. It’s hard for me to say this, Rena... But I actually am going to miss you.”

“Jeez, Mayu. You’re gross.” Rena laughed.

“You told me to tell you some last words before you leave and I did. I almost puked when I said those things to you. So don’t make me strangle you to death.”

“Ok ok.. I get it. I’m going to miss you too, Mayu. Really..” Rena went in and hugged Mayu. “Be happy, this will be the first and last hug I’ll ever give you.”

“Ditto.” Mayu smiled.

When Rena turned over to Jurina, she was hesitant to give Jurina a hug as she felt that it was awkward. “So... I’ll see you again next time, ya?”

“......” Without a word, Jurina pulled Rena in for a hug and hugged her tightly. “Be safe..”

Rena smiled as she returned the hug. “Don’t worry.. I will.”

Mayu noticed a slight pink blush from Rena’s face as Jurina hugged her tightly and thought to herself. “This sly girl is not being honest with her feelings..”

Rena separated herself from the hug and started walking towards the gate. As she walked towards the departure gate, Jurina called out to her once again. “So.... I guess we still can contact each other through mobile, right?”

Rena turned her head around and shot a wide smile at Jurina. “Oh by the way, I won’t be using my phone often. One of the requirements of this job is not to use our phones while helping people out. Besides, I’ll be in the outskirts 90% of the time. There won’t be any signal there anyway.”

“You mean you won’t be contacting with any of us in these few years at all?” Jurina asked.

“I’ll try my best to sneak into the city during my time-offs. We’ll just see what happens then..” Rena shot one last wink at Jurina and waved back at the three of them. “I’ll see you all in a few years time.”

“See ya!!” Yuki waved.

“Call me often! If you don’t, I will kill you!” Mayu waved as well.

“....” Jurina waved softly with a heavy heart as well.

And then, Rena was gone.

Mayu let out a loud sigh. Yuki’s head popped out beside Mayu’s head all of a sudden. “Are those tears in your eyes, Mayu? Are you actually crying?”

“No, I’m not! Dust got in my eye!” Mayu looked away and wiped the ‘dust’ off her eyes. “So.... What now?”

“What do you mean what now? You’re gonna go find a job, Mayu. And I’m going to help you.” Yuki said.

“You’re always welcome to join us again.” Jurina offered Mayu.

“No thanks. Same like Rena, I’m tired of working inside a box. I was planning to do something out of the box. Like maybe.....” Mayu was giving it a hard thought.

Jurina snickered. “Like what? Selling ice creams?”

At that time, Mayu got stunned for a moment. “Shit. That’s actually a pretty good idea. I can sell them to the kids at the AKB Park. The park is always filled with kids.”

Yuki placed both her hands on Mayu’s shoulder. “Mayu, if you were to become an ice cream vendor, I will love you for all eternity..”

“Guess you and Rena are the same.. Having a Masters Degree in Hospitality, you both had so much potential in the hotel industry. And yet you two planned to take on jobs that has nothing to do with the degree in the end.. Sometimes I don’t understand why did you both even take on the Degree in the first place.” Jurina pointed out.

“No no no... It’s actually the same thing. You need to have some sense of hospitality so that you’ll seem friendly enough for people to do business with you, even if it’s selling ice creams. But hey... Being an ice cream vendor isn’t a bad thing. Seeing kids happily running around with their ice cream is actually quite the satisfaction.”

“Guess you will never know until you try it out yourself. So why not go for it.” Jurina said.

“Perfect. So ice cream vendor it is..” Mayu had finally decided what she was gonna be after this.

“I love you so much, Mayu..” Yuki kissed Mayu’s cheeks.

“But how do I get all the stuff I need?” Mayu shrugged.

“Since I’m an experienced businesswoman, I can easily help you with that. Besides, I still owe you one for waking me up with that punch on my face.” Jurina said.

Mayu looked surprised. “Wow.. This must be the first time hearing a thank you from someone after receiving a punch on the face.”

Rena placed her luggage before sitting down on the seat and ruffled inside her bag for something. She then took out a star shaped cardboard from her bag and smiled at it. She turned the star cardboard over and started reading the contents to herself. “If I could really really wish for something, I would wish to turn back time and take back everything I have said to hurt you before. Those times when I was with you made me into a different person. You helped me open my heart more and I missed every single one of the moment. But since I know this wish can’t be made, I have another wish. Which is for you to be happy every single day. You may not be used to the outskirts life at first. Despite going through hard times, I wish for you to go through each and every one of it with a smile. I want you to know that you’re not alone. I’ll be here, rooting for you and supporting you. So as Yuki and Mayu. You’re going to be away for a very long time and I definitely am going to miss you a lot. Be safe. Sincerely, Jurina.”

She held the star cardboard to her chest and smiled to herself. “I will miss you a lot too, Jurina... You know that..”


~~~


Mayu started an ice cream business just like she said. She got an ice cream truck and her stocks as a gift from Jurina and Yuki. Months had gone by since she started her ice cream business. Her business started off decent. She wasn’t earning a lot, nor was she earning little. Just enough for her to get her by. Besides, she understood that there are millions of ice cream vendors just like her in Japan. But one thing for sure, Mayu was happy that she was able to make kids happy with the ice creams that she sold. Yuki was definitely happy with Mayu becoming an ice cream vendor. Sometimes it just made Mayu paranoid about whether Yuki was really in love with her or the ice creams. But overall, she was really happy with her job. Put aside the fact that she pinched a few kids cheeks just because they were too cute and they ran to their mom crying. Sometimes, Yuki would drop by Mayu’s ice cream truck to help her sell ice creams during her time off. Jurina would drop by as well to buy some ice cream to eat.

“Since when did you became a fan of ice creams? You’ve been coming to buy it like everyday.” Mayu squinted her eyes at Jurina.

“I never was a fan. I was forced to buy them..” Jurina then looked over at Yuki.

Yuki acted dumb as if she wasn’t the one who forced Jurina into buying those ice creams.

Mayu then stated as she passed an ice cream to a small kid. “This is definitely more fun than working in the hotel.”

“And earn 10 times less.” Jurina added on.

“You do you always have to stab me with a knife, huh?” Mayu rolled her eyes.

“Hey, I made business with you. So don’t complain, alright?”

Ever since Mayu started as an ice cream vendor, she became more friendly with Jurina. Jurina had opened herself more than ever before after Rena left. Now, her daddy issues was nothing more than history for her. She doesn’t even think about it anymore. She became a very cheerful and friendly person. Despite that, she still has her serious and charming side. Jurina was still able to charm girls including Yuki and that always made Mayu jealous. Yuki was loyal to Mayu, definitely. It’s just that sometimes Yuki just fall in love all over again from Jurina’s charm. Not the couple love kind. It’s more like the fan falling in love with the idol kind of love. Still, Mayu didn’t like that. They got into an argument a few times because of that but that didn’t stop them from loving each other wholeheartedly. Yuki is currently staying with Mayu under the same roof. So, technically, if Rena comes back, there will be three people living under the same roof. The rent is currently paid by Yuki of course, since she was the one making the bigger money among them both. Yuki didn’t mind at all that she was the one paying for everything. She was just happy that she could be with her ice cream vendor girlfriend. It’s not like Mayu was using Yuki as a bank or anything. Mayu loved Yuki with all her heart.

As for Rena, she was happy with her job as well. Rena had never thought that her job would be this fun. Not to mention the outskirt life was so peaceful. Rena had always wanted to live a peaceful life. Country to country, Rena and her group traveled around the world to those places with people who were in poverty and helped out. Through the job she had taken as an International Aid Worker, Rena had learnt a lot about the outside life. Being physically tired was definitely a given, so Rena always kept Jurina’s word in her heart and smiled through all the hardships.

Slowly, time passed by. Hours became days, days became months, and months became years... And finally the day they were waiting for came...



5 Years Later.......

It was really crowded on that day. Despite being late night, there were tons of people. As if all the planes from all over the world landed at the same airport on the same day that night. There were lots of people walking around, and people standing around the arrival section, holding up some cardboards with names on them like “John” “Mary” “Yukiko”. Among the cardboards was written something that garnered quite some attention from the people surrounding. Not only because of the contents that garnered attention. It was the size of the cardboard too. It was shaped 160cmX80cm. It’ll be weird if nobody had noticed something that big. On that particularly huge cardboard, instead of a name, it was written “Stupid piece of shit”. Yup. ‘Stupid piece of shit’. Those are the exact four words written by Mayu on the cardboard as she stood there waiting for Rena to walk out of the arrival hall. Her eye scanned for her best friend as a bunch of people started walking out of the hall. And suddenly, someone very familiar caught her eye.

“Rena!!!” Mayu screamed at the top of her lungs while shaking her gigantic cardboard like a mad woman, garnering more attention from everyone around. The tall lady almost didn’t want to admit that she was the one Mayu was calling for. It was too embarrassing for her to do so while people was watching. She just placed her right palm over her eyes to cover her sight of Mayu and continued walking on without answering to Mayu’s call, acting like a total stranger. Too bad Mayu already noticed her as she called out yet again. “Hey you! I saw you, Rena! YOU RIGHT THERE!! OI!!” This time, Mayu pointed at Rena again and again, attracting the attention towards Rena this time.

“Shit...” Rena rolled her eyes and removed her hand off her eyes. She then fakely smiled at her best friend and embarrassingly waved back at her. “Hey Mayu..”

Seeing Mayu walking towards her, Rena opened her arms to the side, actually expecting a hug from her best friend after 5 years not meeting with each other in person. But no. Instead of a hug, Mayu went straight for Rena’s collar and started shaking her uncontrollably. “I’m gonna kill you, you hear me?! Where’s all my phone calls these past few years, huh?? You ungrateful thing!”

“Hey hey, is that how you treat me after 5 years not meeting??” Rena laughed while her collars were shook by Mayu.

“I don’t care!!!” Mayu shook Rena’s collar harder and harder. Just like what they all said. Best friends will stay best friends forever no matter how long they have not met one another. Not an inch of awkwardness could be sensed between both Rena and Mayu even though they were apart from each other for 5 whole years.

“I called you like ten times already, Mayu..”

“Yeah. Ten times in like a span of 5 years! And the last two calls were made just yesterday and today! That actually makes it eight calls in freaking 5 years!”

“I’m sorry about that. I wasn’t able to find too much free time during my posting. Let go of me now.” Rena pulled Mayu’s arms away.

“Wow. 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, and you can’t find a single minute to call me? Fantastic.” Mayu sarcastically clapped her hands.

“But I did call you. Do you know how hard was it to even look for a signal out of the city?” Rena tried to explain.

“Shut up, Rena. I don’t care if you’re in Africa or whatever. I’m still mad that you didn’t call me often.”

“Oh, you’re mad at me? I never remember caring if you’re mad at me or not. Go ahead and be mad. See if I care.” Rena showed her tongue at Mayu.

“Tch- You’re like the worst friend anybody can get.” Mayu sneered.

“I think you mean the best.” Rena corrected her.

Something caught Mayu’s eye as she looked at Rena’s hair again and again. “Did you accidentally burn your hair or something?”

“Oh, what? This? I got it cut short.” Rena brushed her hair a little as she looked at her new shoulder-length hairstyle. “It was really hot over there, so I decided to keep it short.”

“You look like shit with short hair.” Mayu went straight to the point.

“Thank you for your compliment.” Rena answered sarcastically.

“Oh yeah.. Before I forget.. There’ll be a huge function going on tomorrow and you must definitely attend it.” Mayu said.

“You don’t have to tell me. I know. She told me about it yesterday.” Rena smiled and nodded.

“She did?” Mayu raised an eyebrow.



Next morning

“Rider Kick!!” Mayu flew into the room, startling the sleeping girl a little before she went back to sleep in a mere second. Noticing this, Mayu squinted her eyes annoyingly at her and slowly walked towards her bed. “Guess I have to use my special attack to wake you up...” Mayu placed both her arms below the mattress. “Special Attack : Mattress Flip!!”

“Mmmm.......” Only mumbles were heard from under the mattress.

“Come on, Rena! Wake up! Wake up!” Mayu shook the mattress again and again until the girl at the bottom became annoyed.

“GAH!!” Rena pushed the mattress away and shouted. “Just let me sleep! I just came back from the airport last night!”

“You’ll be late for it, Rena! Wake up!” Mayu dragged Rena across the floor.

“....” Despite being dragged, Rena didn’t move much as she continued having her eyes closed. She then mumbled. “Late for what?”

“Gosh, Rena.. Have you forgotten what day today is??” Mayu had a shocked expression carved on her face. “Even Yuki left early this morning. And you’re still here sleeping.”

Only at that time, Rena remembered something important as her eyes shot wide open in a second. “OH SHIT!!” She immediately stood up from the floor and looked over to her clock. “NOO!!!!!!” Rena was literally squishing her own face. “It’s 11.30am already!? Why didn’t my alarm clock ring!?”

“It did, Rena. You ignored it. Why do you think I flew into your room?” Mayu sighed and shook her head.

“I’m gonna be late!!! Noo!!” Rena screamed like a mad woman as she grabbed her clothes and rushed into the bathroom.

Mayu walked over to the bathroom door and knocked. “Hey, you want me to wash your hair for you? It’ll be twice faster.”

“I’m not in the mood for jokes now, Mayu.” Rena said from within the bathroom.

“You sure? You know how long you’ll take though. At this rate, you’ll be late.”

“Shut up, Mayu! You’re not helping!” Rena shouted.

“I’m gonna come in and help.” Mayu said.

“Don’t you dare come in! I’m naked!”

“Too late.” Mayu unlocked the bathroom with a key and entered. As she entered the bathroom, she saw Rena completely naked, in the midst of showering. Mayu blinked her eyes at Rena as took out her phone and aimed it at Rena. “Smile.”

*SNAPS*

Mayu took a photo of the showering Rena and flee out of the bathroom. “Dayum, Rena. You have a nice body!”

“DELETE THE PHOTO, YOU MORON!” Rena shouted at Mayu as she stuck her head out of the bathroom.

“Delete it?” Mayu placed her finger on her chin and looked up in the ceiling. “I don’t think so. I need this for blackmail just in case.”

“I’m gonna kill you, Mayu!!”

“Hey, aren’t you late already?” Mayu reminded her of what’s more important than an argument between them.

“Damn it, Mayu! You’re wasting my time!” Rena shut the bathroom door again and continued showering.

Once again, Mayu knocked on the bathroom door, “Hey, you need some help?” before bursting out in laughter.

“No, Mayu! I don’t need any help!”

“You’re so gonna make us late..” Mayu sighed.

About half an hour later, Rena finished her shower and the both of them head off to the specified location written on their invitation card. As they reached their destination, both of them stood at the entrance and looked up the building.

“I don’t believe that I’m actually back here in AKB Hotel..” Rena stated.

“Tell me about it.. It feels like the first time we came in here for an interview, remember?” Mayu replied as they walked in the nostalgic place together.

“Yeah.. I remember. We were running all over the place because we were late.” Rena got excited.

“Pfft... Yeah.. You even spilled your water all over Jurina.” Mayu laughed.

Rena then let out a smile. “That was the first time I met Jurina... Boy was she fierce at that time.. I still remember.. It was right at that very spot.” Rena turned around to point at the area where the water incident happened and just so happened to be pointing at a lady who was standing at the exact same spot, looking back at her smiling.

“Talk about coincidence, Rena.” Mayu nudged Rena’s arm as she was stunned.

The lady started walking over with a smile on her face and finally stood in front of Rena. “It’s been five years, has it?”

“Yes it has.. Jurina.” Rena smiled back at her sincerely.

“You look different.” Jurina pointed at Rena’s hair.

“Yeah.. I had to keep it short for work purposes.. You look different yourself.” Rena pointed at all of Jurina.

“I look different? What do you mean? Are you saying I’m old or something?” Jurina joked.

Rena giggled. “No, of course not. I’m not talking about your face. I’m talking about all of you. You emit a different kind of aura since the last time I met you..”

“I’ll take that as a compliment I think?” Jurina smiled.

“It is a compliment.” Rena giggled.

“Thank you for coming to my birthday even when you just arrived back in Japan yesterday, Rena. I really appreciate it.” Jurina thanked Rena.

“I had to. You finally revealed your real birthday to the public. I’m happy that you’re able to celebrate your real birthday with people.” Rena said.

“It’s not like you haven’t celebrated my real birthday before.” Jurina was reminiscing those times once again.

Rena smiled back and nodded her head, remembering those moments as well.

“Rena spent a long time trying to look good for you, Jurina.” Mayu said that out loud before getting hit on the shoulder by Rena.

“I’m glad that you can finally lift off this weight from your heart, Jurina.” Rena shot a sweet smile at Jurina.

“Yeah..” Jurina replied the smile and nodded as she looked on at Rena. They continued looking at each other not for a little while but for quite some time.

Mayu suddenly interrupted. “Just how often had you both been contacting each other, really?”

They both didn’t answer to Mayu’s question as they started giggling at one another.

“Alright, I can’t stand any more of this. Aren’t we going to the hall to celebrate your birthday, Jurina? Let’s just go already. Everyone is waiting.”

“We should go.” Jurina moved her head, gesturing that they should get going to start her birthday party. The three of them headed to the party and Rena was greeted by everyone there, especially Yuki who went straight for the hug. Even though they already met last night, Yuki still couldn’t let go of Rena. Lots of people attended Jurina’s birthday party and it was almost a chaos.

Before they knew it, the party was over and everyone went back home. Even Yuki had brought a drunk Mayu back home, leaving Jurina and Rena in the hall. Rena giggled. “Some party that was, huh?”

“Yeah.. Did you have fun?” Jurina asked.

“It was fun. It’s funny how Yuki was clinging onto my arm for almost the whole party. I guess she missed me a lot?”

“She sure did. I told you on the phone about how much she missed you, remember?” Jurina smiled.

“Speaking of that.. Mayu is so gonna kill me if she knows I’ve been contacting you more often than I contact her.”

“Yeah.. So why did you?” Jurin asked.

Rena couldn’t answer, so she just gave out a completely random one. “I don’t know. I just feel like it.”

Jurina knew there was something going on in that head of hers. She then started another topic. “So, when will be your next job posting?”

“My next posting will be in a month time. I’m not sure for how long I’ll be gone this time. Might be weeks. Might be months. Might be years again.”

Jurina let out a smile as she sighed. “Guess I’ll miss you again.”

For some reason, Rena’s heart skipped a beat. She wasn’t sure why. It’s not like Rena was falling in love with Jurina all over again. It’s too fast for that. But yeah, her heart did skip a little. “Yeah.. I know.. You did tell me that on the wishing star... That you miss me.”

“Wishing star? What wishing star?” Jurina tilted her head a little.

“This..” Rena took out a star shaped cardboard. “I kept it with me the whole 5 years. See? It’s still in good condition.”

“You really cherished it well..” A slight grin came across Jurina’s face.

“This is the one thing that I cherish the most. Thank you for the wish, Jurina.. This helped me go through all the hard times.”

“I’m glad to hear that..” Jurina smiled. Her grin was completely infectious and charming, hints of the old, pre-relationship-meltdown-Jurina shining through beautifully. “So, you wanna go out sometime? Grab a coffee or something?”

“You know I don’t drink coffee, Jurina.” Rena smiled. “But... It wouldn’t hurt to try new things right?”

“Let’s go then.” Jurina stood up from her seat.

“What, like now?” Rena sounded surprised.

“No. When you leave for your job posting next month. Yeah, now.” Jurina laughed a little.

“Alright then. Let’s.” Rena stood up as well.

“What are you planning to order this time?”

“Definitely not your favourite Triple Espresso. That will be a little too violent for a newcomer like me.”

Jurina then let out a laugh. “You still remember.”

“Oh, yes. The nightmare... You shoved it down my throat that time.” Rena giggled as well. “I think I’ll just start with a normal coffee with milk and sugar.”

“Just normal coffee with milk and sugar?” Jurina was asking in a doubtful manner. “Till when are you gonna start accepting Triple Espresso then?”

“Triple Espresso?” Rena was giving it a thought. “We’ll see how this coffee session goes. If it goes well, then maybe....I might start accepting Triple Espresso in the future? Everything has to start from the beginning, yes? You can’t be pushing it too far from the start.”

A huge grin crawled over Jurina’s face. “Coffee with milk and sugar, it is.”

Been a long while I've commented.

I would say writing a concluding chapter is the hardest, its like the face of your whole fanfic XD If u leave a very good impression, then it will be a really memorable fanfic, but if its a bad ending it kinda spoils the fun that you created so far….and I would say, this is one of a splendid ending written by you. WAY better than many of the fanfics (OS included). Maybe this would be the best of all you’ve written so far. I’m really impressed with how you improved man XD

First start off…
Quote
“...” Yuki definitely understood what’s going through Jurina’s mind right now. They did grew up together for a reason. “I know how you’re feeling right now, Jurina. I really do. But this might actually be the last time you’ll see Rena until the next few years.”

Jurina was startled from this statement from Yuki. “Huh? What do you mean?”

“Rena recently found a job as an International Aid Worker. It means she will be traveling around the world for quite some time. Her flight is actually at 5pm today. You see, I was gonna go to the airport for her farewell after this.”

“She’s leaving today!? Why haven’t I heard about this?”

“Why should you?” Yuki was right. It’s not like Jurina kept in contact with Mayu and Rena any longer.

“And you kept this from me all this time?” Jurina questioned.

“I could have just kept quiet and left for the airport earlier, but here I am.” Yuki said.

“I.....” Jurina swallowed her saliva and shut her eyes as she placed her thumb and index finger on her forehead.

Yuki convinced Jurina. “It’s already 2pm now. If you chose not to go, the chances are, the next time you meet her will actually be at least few years from now.. Do you actually want to make a decision that you’ll regret for another time?”


^ Oh the classics! XD What a common yet classic scene (can reuse so many times without getting that bored with it) This idea will be so great depends on how you develop the story. With how Jurina and Rena did break up and they haven’t contact with each other…also with both of the character’s feelings are at currently in the scene…this approach you made is sure a solid move. I like it. Its like adding a little shove to both Rena and Jurina so that they can have a first and last talk after they broke up.


With Mayu and Rena’s entertainment…
LOL, its all good~ its so your style and it it sure brights up the situation in a way. Watching how their friendship is and indirectly show how they are worried about each other. But it cracked me up with this ice cream business XD I was like WTF, but its not completely unrealistic, it is good actually. That’s hard to pull it off, but you did it really well. XD


wMatsui Scene:
Quote
“I’m glad that you actually understand... Oh, and I have something to give you...” Jurina then took out a familiar star shaped cardboard and handed over to Rena. “Remember this star you gave me on my birthday? You told me that if I wrote a wish on this star, then it will come true. I don’t actually believe in things like this, but I thought it wouldn’t hurt to do it, so why not? Here. I want you to have it. This is my wish. Forgive me for the ugly handwriting. I wrote it down on the way to the airport. The road was bumpy.”

As Rena took the star shaped cardboard from Jurina, she remembered the events of Jurina’s birthday and smiled to herself. “Yes, I remember this…”


“Hmm.... Ah... Found something..” Rena grabbed something. She then proceeded to the counter and paid for it before returning to Jurina.

“You bought something without my consent. Why are you so sure that I would want what you bought?”

“Because I believe that you might need this. Here you go.” Rena took out a star-shaped cardboard. “You can write your wish on this star and your wish will come true. Just keep it with you at all times. Just like the star sicker I gave you earlier.”

“So you’re telling me if I write a wish on this star, it will come true? What if it doesn’t come true?”

“Well, then at least you still can use it as a bookmark, right?” Rena shrugged.

“Hmm... Alright, then. I’ll accept this present from you.” Jurina nodded and took the star from Rena’s hand and kept it in her pocket. “So altogether, I received two presents from you today. A ‘good luck charm’ star sticker and a ‘wish come true’ star cardboard.”


^I actually love this scene, its very subtle yet very touching. With how adorable Jurina pulled out with the wishing star she received from Rena. Not bad~ Good job man! This is great, you built HECK of a tension between the two. It’s not just great, it’s SLENDID man. Give you 5 stars man (first time ever did that, be proud yo). Then we have the flashback to remind us the fluffiness between the two when they’re together. (y) SWEET YO


Quote
“You’re always welcome to join us again.” Jurina offered Mayu.

“No thanks. Same like Rena, I’m tired of working inside a box. I was planning to do something out of the box. Like maybe.....” Mayu was giving it a hard thought.

Jurina snickered. “Like what? Selling ice creams?”

At that time, Mayu got stunned for a moment. “Shit. That’s actually a pretty good idea. I can sell them to the kids at the AKB Park. The park is always filled with kids.”

Yuki placed both her hands on Mayu’s shoulder. “Mayu, if you were to become an ice cream vendor, I will love you for all eternity..”

“Guess you and Rena are the same.. Having a Masters Degree in Hospitality, you both had so much potential in the hotel industry. And yet you two planned to take on jobs that has nothing to do with the degree in the end.. Sometimes I don’t understand why did you both even take on the Degree in the first place.” Jurina pointed out.

“No no no... It’s actually the same thing. You need to have some sense of hospitality so that you’ll seem friendly enough for people to do business with you, even if it’s selling ice creams. But hey... Being an ice cream vendor isn’t a bad thing. Seeing kids happily running around with their ice cream is actually quite the satisfaction.”

“Guess you will never know until you try it out yourself. So why not go for it.” Jurina said.

^ Lel, that’s pretty funny. But its not too unrealistic. I like how you made Jurina throw in “Guess you will never know until you try it out yourself. So why not go for it.” That’s a good teaching you left! It really did concludes Mayu and Rena’s personality throughout the whole fanfic. That’s really not something that easy to pull through. The puzzle pieces fit perfectly with each other, you really did bring all of it together and put it together to make it shine out despite the silly funny part about Mayu and her ice cream business. Just one line (said by Jurina) just makes every pieces you created within the story combined as one. This is really nice. I love it.


Quote
Mayu started an ice cream business just like she said. She got an ice cream truck and her stocks as a gift from Jurina and Yuki. Months had gone by since she started her ice cream business. Her business started off decent. She wasn’t earning a lot, nor was she earning little. Just enough for her to get her by. Besides, she understood that there are millions of ice cream vendors just like her in Japan. But one thing for sure, Mayu was happy that she was able to make kids happy with the ice creams that she sold. Yuki was definitely happy with Mayu becoming an ice cream vendor. Sometimes it just made Mayu paranoid about whether Yuki was really in love with her or the ice creams. But overall, she was really happy with her job. Put aside the fact that she pinched a few kids cheeks just because they were too cute and they ran to their mom crying. Sometimes, Yuki would drop by Mayu’s ice cream truck to help her sell ice creams during her time off. Jurina would drop by as well to buy some ice cream to eat.

“Since when did you became a fan of ice creams? You’ve been coming to buy it like everyday.” Mayu squinted her eyes at Jurina.

“I never was a fan. I was forced to buy them..” Jurina then looked over at Yuki.

Yuki acted dumb as if she wasn’t the one who forced Jurina into buying those ice creams.

Mayu then stated as she passed an ice cream to a small kid. “This is definitely more fun than working in the hotel.”

“And earn 10 times less.” Jurina added on.

“You do you always have to stab me with a knife, huh?” Mayu rolled her eyes.

“Hey, I made business with you. So don’t complain, alright?”

^ The way you portrayed all 3 character’s relationship is amazing. Its just them being themselves and united together. Even just little things like this, but this is the final chapter we’re talking about! This little scene is like concluding Jurina Mayu and Yuki’s relationship through out the whole fanfic, and you portray it really well. (y)


Quote
“Rena!!!” Mayu screamed at the top of her lungs while shaking her gigantic cardboard like a mad woman, garnering more attention from everyone around. The tall lady almost didn’t want to admit that she was the one Mayu was calling for. It was too embarrassing for her to do so while people was watching. She just placed her right palm over her eyes to cover her sight of Mayu and continued walking on without answering to Mayu’s call, acting like a total stranger. Too bad Mayu already noticed her as she called out yet again. “Hey you! I saw you, Rena! YOU RIGHT THERE!! OI!!” This time, Mayu pointed at Rena again and again, attracting the attention towards Rena this time.

“Shit...” Rena rolled her eyes and removed her hand off her eyes. She then fakely smiled at her best friend and embarrassingly waved back at her. “Hey Mayu..”

Seeing Mayu walking towards her, Rena opened her arms to the side, actually expecting a hug from her best friend after 5 years not meeting with each other in person. But no. Instead of a hug, Mayu went straight for Rena’s collar and started shaking her uncontrollably. “I’m gonna kill you, you hear me?! Where’s all my phone calls these past few years, huh?? You ungrateful thing!”

“Hey hey, is that how you treat me after 5 years not meeting??” Rena laughed while her collars were shook by Mayu.

“I don’t care!!!” Mayu shook Rena’s collar harder and harder. Just like what they all said. Best friends will stay best friends forever no matter how long they have not met one another. Not an inch of awkwardness could be sensed between both Rena and Mayu even though they were apart from each other for 5 whole years.

“I called you like ten times already, Mayu..”

“Yeah. Ten times in like a span of 5 years! And the last two calls were made just yesterday and today! That actually makes it eight calls in freaking 5 years!”

^ Aw, LOL. That’s pretty funny! XD I like this scene. Maybe I could relate to it in a way. (Uni life abroad, coming back home during holidays) So I really did get a lot of feels from this part of the chapter. XD I like how Mayu complains it, its just like how my friend would literally complain about me not contacting them so often!


Quote
“Thank you for coming to my birthday even when you just arrived back in Japan yesterday, Rena. I really appreciate it.” Jurina thanked Rena.

“I had to. You finally revealed your real birthday to the public. I’m happy that you’re able to celebrate your real birthday with people.” Rena said.

“It’s not like you haven’t celebrated my real birthday before.” Jurina was reminiscing those times once again.

Rena smiled back and nodded her head, remembering those moments as well.

“Rena spent a long time trying to look good for you, Jurina.” Mayu said that out loud before getting hit on the shoulder by Rena.

“I’m glad that you can finally lift off this weight from your heart, Jurina.” Rena shot a sweet smile at Jurina.

“Yeah..” Jurina replied the smile and nodded as she looked on at Rena. They continued looking at each other not for a little while but for quite some time.

Mayu suddenly interrupted. “Just how often had you both been contacting each other, really?”

They both didn’t answer to Mayu’s question as they started giggling at one another.

“Alright, I can’t stand any more of this. Aren’t we going to the hall to celebrate your birthday, Jurina? Let’s just go already. Everyone is waiting.”

^ Such a subtle yet sweet way of they reunited again. I’m touched by it. Then my favorite part is that Rena contacted Jurina more often than with Mayu. With how both of them are subtle in an adult way, its very fluff and gentle. Just like how their relationship is that you build through out the fanfic.


Lastly…
Quote
Before they knew it, the party was over and everyone went back home. Even Yuki had brought a drunk Mayu back home, leaving Jurina and Rena in the hall. Rena giggled. “Some party that was, huh?”

“Yeah.. Did you have fun?” Jurina asked.

“It was fun. It’s funny how Yuki was clinging onto my arm for almost the whole party. I guess she missed me a lot?”

“She sure did. I told you on the phone about how much she missed you, remember?” Jurina smiled.

“Speaking of that.. Mayu is so gonna kill me if she knows I’ve been contacting you more often than I contact her.”

“Yeah.. So why did you?” Jurin asked.

Rena couldn’t answer, so she just gave out a completely random one. “I don’t know. I just feel like it.”

Jurina knew there was something going on in that head of hers. She then started another topic. “So, when will be your next job posting?”

“My next posting will be in a month time. I’m not sure for how long I’ll be gone this time. Might be weeks. Might be months. Might be years again.”

Jurina let out a smile as she sighed. “Guess I’ll miss you again.”

For some reason, Rena’s heart skipped a beat. She wasn’t sure why. It’s not like Rena was falling in love with Jurina all over again. It’s too fast for that. But yeah, her heart did skip a little. “Yeah.. I know.. You did tell me that on the wishing star... That you miss me.”

“Wishing star? What wishing star?” Jurina tilted her head a little.

“This..” Rena took out a star shaped cardboard. “I kept it with me the whole 5 years. See? It’s still in good condition.”

“You really cherished it well..” A slight grin came across Jurina’s face.

“This is the one thing that I cherish the most. Thank you for the wish, Jurina.. This helped me go through all the hard times.”

“I’m glad to hear that..” Jurina smiled. Her grin was completely infectious and charming, hints of the old, pre-relationship-meltdown-Jurina shining through beautifully. “So, you wanna go out sometime? Grab a coffee or something?”

“You know I don’t drink coffee, Jurina.” Rena smiled. “But... It wouldn’t hurt to try new things right?”

“Let’s go then.” Jurina stood up from her seat.

“What, like now?” Rena sounded surprised.

“No. When you leave for your job posting next month. Yeah, now.” Jurina laughed a little.

“Alright then. Let’s.” Rena stood up as well.

“What are you planning to order this time?”

“Definitely not your favourite Triple Espresso. That will be a little too violent for a newcomer like me.”

Jurina then let out a laugh. “You still remember.”

“Oh, yes. The nightmare... You shoved it down my throat that time.” Rena giggled as well. “I think I’ll just start with a normal coffee with milk and sugar.”

“Just normal coffee with milk and sugar?” Jurina was asking in a doubtful manner. “Till when are you gonna start accepting Triple Espresso then?”

“Triple Espresso?” Rena was giving it a thought. “We’ll see how this coffee session goes. If it goes well, then maybe....I might start accepting Triple Espresso in the future? Everything has to start from the beginning, yes? You can’t be pushing it too far from the start.”

A huge grin crawled over Jurina’s face. “Coffee with milk and sugar, it is.”

^ kevin, all I can say this is amazing. I did mention earlier that this is (high likely) the best ending ever you’ve written so far. It is truly splendid, its not just gold, its diamond. You polished it so well that it gives the brightest light it could give. Such a subtle cute way how both of them keep contacting with each other without telling Mayu or Yuki at all. This is more of wMatsui fanfic than to be double pairing. XD A little cute with them mentioning about the wishing star again but what really gave me a heart race is the “coffee moments” Just a little with how Jurina respond, if i did get it right at first she said no and she changed her mind to yes is it? 

Quote
“No. When you leave for your job posting next month. Yeah, now.” Jurina laughed a little.

You could’ve make it more obvious that she changed her mind. XD The fact that I (reader) isn’t so sure about that tells you. Anwyays…with the TRIPLE EXPRESSO COFFEE is such an amazing scene. This is the best. It leaves such a powerful impression of your fanfic. Its not only about this chapter…but your whole fanfic. Really. I don’t know how can I say more. Especially with Rena hinting

“We’ll see how this coffee session goes. If it goes well, then maybe....I might start accepting Triple Espresso in the future? Everything has to start from the beginning, yes? You can’t be pushing it too far from the start.”

That is sweet. I see what you’re trying to say there Kev. :P What is my favorite is Jurina’s character and how she’s portrayed in this chapter. This is bloody amazing man. I love how subtle both of them are (in an adult way) and not being such a teenager, as expected to see after 5 yrs time skip man.

What could I say now?
Despite some little loose parts through out the fanfic, you constantly remarkable improvement and then you just BAAAAAM! Slap everyone across the face with such a splendid ending. This is amazing, I give 5 stars. Who ever read this comment do read “Management Affairs” until the end, don’t stop. You’ll realize its truly a gem when you finish the last chapter. One of the fanfics I would recommend to people. That’s pretty much all I’ve got to say. I’m proud of you my apprentice (y) :P I look forward to your 3rd fanfic then.

This is just my personal comment, I would say don’t continue next season or epilogue. If for epilogue, its okay to do for MaYuki, but NOT FOR wMATSUI. If you do it will ruin such a SHINING moment you’ve created (sorry to those that wanted it). This is bloody amazing already, and with such a gem that Kevin created, I personally wish it to remain shining gallantly like this forever.
