Chapter 8 „ Innocent Changes of a Boy “

 

( Today's the day. Today is the day of shooting the role that Aoi gave. If we don't want to be late, I need to wake Ryosuke up. )

 

* Click *

 

I : „ Ryosuke, time to wake up. “

 

Ryosuke : „ ....Just 5 minutes more... “

 

( It is difficult to wake Ryosuke up since he sleeps in late usually. Do I need to take away the blanket like before ? ....... Come to think of it, I saw Ryosuke's family picture, while trying to wake him. )

 

I : „ I saw for sure on the desk next to the bed.... “

 

* Flap *

 

I : „ Oh, it fell. “

 

( I picked up the fallen photo. It is a photo....... This photo is a photo....... This is not a photo of Ryosuke's family....... )

 

I : „ Hey, how come my picture is in Ryosuke's room... And it was from the date. I went to that party in clothes that Aoi gave me... When did you take this picture ? “

 

Ryosuke : „ Ugh! What are you looking at ? And what are you looking for in my room ? “

 

I : „ I was not looking for anything. It was on the table for everyone to see! And what is this ? This picture is...... of me. How come you have my picture in your room ? And you took it without me knowing... “

 

Ryosuke : „ Oh, it's just... “

 

I : „ Ryousuke, perhaps... no way... “

 

Ryosuke : „ Don't take it wrong! It's not that I like you or something.... It's just a before and after picture that I kept as a sample resource... “

 

I : „ ...... Who said that ? “

 

Ryosuke : „ Yeah, you said nothing, of course... “

 

( OK. It was true. That Ryosuke is perhaps. My heart way pounding and felt like I lost. )

 

THUMP, THUMP

 

( ..................Oh.......Did my heart pound a little.... ? )

 

I : „ Hey, let's quickly get to the shoot!!! “

 

* A little while later *

 

Director Koboyashi Liko : „ Cut! That pet's not good. I'm not feeling it. Again~~!! “

 

( Drama shooting is on the way in a full scale. It has been a while since we came here... But it'll take a while for Ryosuke's part to start. )

 

Ryousuke : „ Boring. I came here in time just to wait for two hours! Great! Again, why are we here ? “

 

I : „ For this shoot. “

 

Ryousuke : „ I mean, I'm getting a little annoyed here. Their time is precious but not mine ? Is that their attitude ? I was here on time, so they should start shooting on time, too! “

 

Haruna : „ Shut up!! You've been complaining to me for a long time. And if I don't say anything, you're not going to stop!! If you have time to complain, use that time to memorize one time, too! “

 

Ryousuke : „ Duh! There are only six lines! “

 

Haruna : „ you sound very confident. Okay, for every word you get wrong, you lose your meals. “

 

Ryousuke : „ !!!!!!!!!! Sob sob. Mirai, she must be a witch. She just threatened to starve me! How cruel! “

 

I : „ You are too loud! Haruna is leering at you. “

 

Ryousuke : „ Oops! Was I that loud ? Do you think she heard me ? “

 

Stylist : „ Excuse me... It wasn't that loud, but she hears everything said about her. “

 

Ryousuke : „ Who are you ? “

 

Stylist : „ Hello. I'm the stylist for Haruna. I heard about you both. You are Ryosuke and Mirai, right ? She was busy and asked me to come and take care of you guys. “

 

Ryousuke : „ The witch asked you to take care of me ? That's surprisingly kind of her. “

 

Stylist : „ Hmmm... well. Knowing Haruna, perhaps... Rather than worrying about Ryosuke, saving face is more important to her since she introduced ryosuke... “

 

Ryousuke : „ Of course! “

 

Stylist : „ Then, come this way. Have to get ready for the shoot. Mirai, you wait here for a while. “

 

Haruna : „ Waited long ? “

 

I : „ Sort of. “

 

Haruna : „ Sorry, sorry. Shooting took longer than expected. Still, the fact that we ended now, is not too bad. “

 

I : „ And thank goodness it didn't take longer. “

 

Haruna : „ If it had taken any longer, I would have walked out. “

 

I : „ ....... “

 

( Suddenly, the atmosphere turned cold... Maybe it's just me that feels that way... ? )

 

Haruna : „ Anyhow, are they going to do OK ? Ryosuke is sort of cute, but there are many guys who don't shine during shooting. You 're not even worried about, Mirai ? “

I : „ Rather than that..... “

 

( He plays the youngest son who has deeply loved his family.... I wonder whether ryosuke will do fine.. )

 

Haruna : „ What's the matter ? You've got other worries on your mind ? “

 

I : „ No, it is just. “

 

* Hustle Bustle *

 

( Suddenly, people got loud at the shoot. Ooohs and Aaaahhhs were coming from all directions. )

 

Haruna : „ Wow...... He, he, is more than we expected. “

 

( ? )

 

* And everybody sees Ryosuke *

 

Haruna : „ Surprisingly, we've hit the jackpot. He daws attention just by standing there. I can't help but look at him. I've got good feelingd about him. “

 

Director Kobayashi Liko : „ OK, OK. Go back to your positions! We are going back to shooting again! Wow, hey good looking! I like you. Let's do it~!! “

 

Haruna : „ Then, now we'll... Let's see how well he does with his whopping six lines. “

 

( ................Alright. There is a hidden obstacle called the script. )

 

Stylist : „ How is shooting going ? “

 

I : „ Well, it is sort of going well. “

 

Stylist : „ Dosen't Ryosuke look like royalty ? “

 

( .......Actually unexpected. That feeling from Ryosuke. It seems like he must have grown up with a silver spoon in his mouth... Somehow the boy attracts attention. )

 

Stylist : „ The role fits him very well. There was a friend of the boy, who was the bad guy. The only person who gave him comfort while growing up. But kind of friend, I'd go bad too. I understand. I can understand. “

 

Haruna : „ In short, this is an extra's extra's role in playing the boy's past as a young boy. Ryousuke's looks in itself will draw a lot of attention. “

 

( I feel like I'm falling for him just by looking at him. )

 

Haruna : „ Do I have to accept this feeling ? “

 

I : „ ? “

 

Haruna : „ Mirai had an eye for stars since you were young. That talent is still there. Found someone who will make a decent star. “

 

I : „ Oh, well..... “

 

 

( Is he OK ? )

 

The whole time they were going back home. Ryosuke was smiling and when they arrived, he turned around with a huge grin.

 

Ryosuke : „ Mirai! Mirai! How did I do ? Everyone said I did pretty good... Mirai, do you also think I looked good ? “

 

I : „ Well... you played your part you naturally. I did a double take. “

 

Ryosuke : „ HAHAHA! It was a piece of cake, actually! I might not be a good memorizer but definitly a good actor! Acting is my destiny, so please help me to make this destiny a reality! “

 

I : „ ......if your lines were long, it would have been the end of for you. “

 

Ryosuke : „ Er... Yeah, I guess so... “

 

I : „ Still, it was fortunate. “

 

Ryosuke : „ What's fortunate ? “

 

I : „ The role that Ryosuke played today. But still I was nervous for you.. But you did good. As if Ryosuke was born in a good family and grew up with a silver spoon in your mouth. “

 

Ryosuke : „ Oh, yeah... “

 

I : „ I was wondering whether Ryosuke was good from the beginning. “

 

Ryosuke : „ Actually... That's.... No, I guess you are right... I was acting for the part! It was pure acting! Was that you complimenting my acting ? “

 

( I nodded because what's good is good. )

 

Ryosuke : „ Whoopee! I am an orphan, yet I played the role very naturally. I must have been born to become an actor, HAHAHA! “

 

(........... Somehow, well... Smiling akwardly. )
