Shuji left the house early and saw the stylists dressing their fellow models.
"Nisan!" Hyo called Shuji when he saw him, he just waved him off.
(Older brother!)
"We have a grand fashion show later, too bad Leatrice isn't with her daddy today." the gay manager answered from behind.
After this, Akatsuki and Erika argue behind it.
"What is it like?" Erika asked her friend.
"There he is...ask me and you didn't even come to my house, my parents are good," Akatsuki said annoyed, and approached his friend Shuji.
"What's up?" Shuji asked his friend without looking at his ex-girlfriend.
"Who is the girl you were with yesterday? I told her the one you brought here, ask you who Miku is in your life, Miku is really naughty." Akatsuki said angrily to his friend, surprised that his ex-girlfriend couldn't come.
Shuji didn't say anything and went to the men's dressing room.
"Shuji!" Akatsuki called to his friend.
Shuji took off his clothes as he entered the dressing room.
"Are you avoiding her?" Akatsuki approached his friend who had also undressed to change his clothes.
"Naze kanojo o yokenakereba naranai nodesu ka? Watashi wa kanojo o yokeru tsumori wa arimasen, anata wa watashi ga kazoku no seikatsu ni tsuite hanashitakunai koto o shitte imasu." Shuji said to his friend.
(Why should I avoid her? I won't avoid her, you know I don't want to talk about our family life.)
"Hai, watashi wa shitte imasu. Watashi wa shitte imasu. Anata wa kanojo to nagai tsukiai ga atte mo, kanojo wa Miku ni tsuite nani mo shirimasen." Akatsuki replied to his friend.
(Yes, I know and I know, she doesn't know anything about Miku, even though you have a long relationship with her.)
"Shuji, Sono josei wa daredesuka kanojo ga anata ga watashi to wakareru riyudenainara? Fu?" Erika said as she entered the dressing room.
(Who is that woman If she is not the reason you break up with me? Who?)
"Kanojo ga daredeare, anata wa kinishinai! Koko de watashi ni aitainara tomete kudasai." Shuji answered without looking back at his ex-girlfriend.
(You don't care, whoever she is! Stop it, if you still want to see me here.)
"Ritorisu ga anata no jinsei ni haitte kara anata wa kawarimashita! Watashi wa kidzukanai to omoimasu ka, watashi wa anata o shitte imasu." Erika said leaving Shuji and Akatsuki silent.
(You have changed since Leatrice came into your life! Do you think I will not notice, I know you.)
"Anata ga hontoni watashi o shitte irunara, anata wa kino watashi to issho ni iru josei or shitte imasu, watashi ga anata ga kidzukubekida to iwanakute mo, kanojo wa soreto wa nani no kankei mo naku, anata ga hanashite iru hito wa soko ni imasen," Shuji answered seriously as his friend held him by the arm.
(If you really know me, you know the woman with me yesterday, even if I don't say you should notice, she has nothing to do with it and the person you are talking to is not there,)
"—Shuji—" Akatsuki called to his friend as he looked at him.
"Anata ga hontoni watashi o shitte irunara, anata wa sudeni watashinakazoku o shitte imasu," Shuji said to his ex-girlfriend and she suddenly left inside the dressing room, leaving her friend behind.
(If you really know me, you already know my family,)
The surroundings were quiet as they did a photoshoot outside the agency. Each model felt sorry for their fellow model.
"Do you hate her?" Akatsuki asked his friend as he approached him and stepped aside.
"I didn't feel any anger towards him, doshite?" Shuji said to his friend as they both leaned against the wall.
(Why?)
"Why if you talk to him like it's nothing, I mean you two didn't become each other, you two have something together," Akatsuki said to his friend with a sigh.
"Have you talked to Leatrice? Aren't you flirting with her?" Shuji asked his friend if he didn't want to talk about the past.
"Watashi mo anata ni tazunetadeshou, anata mo kanojo to hanashimashita ka? Watashi wa kanojo ni denwa shi tari renraku shi tari suru koto ga mattaku dekimasen, 'Watashi wa tōtatsu dekimasen' ga itsumo kikoemasu." Akatsuki told his friend he just took a breath and showed what he was doing to contact Lixue.
(I would have asked you that, did you talk to her too? I can't call or contact her at all, 'I can't be reached' is what I always hear.)
"One time, when I asked my dad, he told me to text him and that's when he replied to me, that he might be gone for a while," Shuji said to his friend, he just looked up.
"Why is it?" Akatsuki asked his friend who just shrugged at him.
"Family matter? I just think so." Shuji replied to his friend.
The two of them have returned to their fellow models. They stand in the place where the photographer points.
On the other hand, Lixue was arranging her belongings in her office when the door opened.
"Are you really okay?" Agent One asked as he entered the office.
"They said I didn't get an infection because of the stabbing, I'm fine." Agent Zero said when he stopped what he was doing.
"Even if I want to join you in America, the boss forbade me, he said, I will be his son's driver again and someone will watch over him." Agent One said.
"Boss needs you for his son, just do your mission and let me know." Agent Zero replied.
"When are you coming back?" Agent One asked.
"I'll only be there for four days, I'll just make sure if they're there, I'll be back here on April 8, I've got a plane ticket for tomorrow, then I'll probably rest here for three days and I'll leave again on April 12, I'll go to Palawan, please tell me to agent 5 to send me the exact location of Don Emilio's house or hacienda in Palawan." Agent Zero said as she sat on the couch.
"Aren't you tired yet?" Agent One asked as he laid it on the couch.
"I don't feel tired if my mission isn't over yet." Agent Zero said she read the text messages from the gay manager of Sakura Modeling Agency.
"When is the official deadline for your mission with the boss's son?" Agent One asked.
"He doesn't mention anything to me even if he doesn't to you, which means there is no deadline yet." Agent Zero replied.
"Damn! This is the only mission without a deadline date! I hope our boss tells us." Agent One replied.
Agent Zero just laughed at Agent One's suggestion. He just frowned at her when the door opened again.
"—Cap–you're ugly!" Agent Ten opened his eyes and Agent One frowned even more.
"What do you need?" Agent Zero asked as she looked at Agent Ten.
"Oh, the boss will give you..this!" Agent Ten said with a smile to Agent Zero.
"Plane ticket to Palawan? 5 days from April 12 to April 17, 2012." Agent Zero said wetly to his two companions inside his office.
A few hours later, the photoshoot was over. Akatsuki accompanied his friend Shuji to the dressing room followed by the other models who will also enter the agency.
"Are you going home, brad?" Shuji asked his friend as he turned to him.
"Not yet, why?" Akatsuki told his friend to look at him.
"Let's go to the bar, brad if you have nowhere else to go," Shuji replied to his friend.
They also invited other models and many agreed.
"Hyo, would you like to come?" Akatsuki asked his friend in a whisper.
"You're the one to go, brad I'll talk to Papa and Miku," Shuji said patting him on the shoulder before he left the agency and went to his car.
Shuji leaned against the door of his car. Before he called his father and sister.
Calling..
Shuji: Dad?
Dad (Raiden): Oh?
Shuji: I will be late coming home, my friends and I will be drinking at the bar.
Papa (Raiden): Take Miku, Shuji with you so that she can experience going to such a place, she will be bored here at home.
Shuji: Are you sure, Pa?
Papa (Raiden): Yes, I'm sure I trust you two.
Shuji: I will watch over her even though she has a high tolerance for alcohol, my sister is still a girl, Pa.
Papa (Raiden): Call her, I'll be late home because I have a meeting with two companies.
Shuji: Okay, Pa be careful!
Papa (Raiden): Be careful too, don't get too drunk, you'll still be going home.
Shuji: Okay, Pa.
After Shuji talked to his father, he called his sister.
Calling...
*。: Naze, ani?
(Little sister) (Why, older brother?)
Shuji: Issho ni ikagadesu ka?
(Would you like to join me at the bar?)
*。: Tashika ni,-kade wa tsumaranainode, otosan ni wakare o tsugemashou ka.
(Little sister) (Sure, it's so boring here at home, shall I say goodbye to our father?)
Shuji: Sono hitsuyo wa arimasen, kare wa anata o ba ni tsureteitte kudasai to itta, watashi wa ima ie ni kaerimasu, watashi ga kaettara, anata wa junbi ga dekite imasu, watashi ga ie ni kaettara shibaraku ofuronihairu dakedesu.
(No need, he said to take you to the bar, I will go home now, when I come you are ready that I will just take a bath for a while when I get home.)
*。: Yoshi, or nichan mattemasu.
(Little sister) (Okay, older brother I'll wait.)
Shuji: Okay.
*。: Do you dare to isshodesu? Ba ni iku no wa 2-ri dakede wa arimasen.
(Little sister) (Who are we with? I know we are not the only two going to the bar.)
Shuji: My co-workers.
*。: Okay.
(little sister)
Shuji immediately put down his cellphone that was stuck to his ear. When he was about to go back inside, he saw his ex-girlfriend who avoided looking at him.
Shuji said goodbye to the comrades to bring someone. His friend looked at him and he went home to their mansion. It was only a few hours before Shuji and his sister left and went to the bar.
Lixue returned to the condo temporarily. She even saw Shuji's car and she even saw a woman with him get out of the car and enter the bar.
'Who is the girl with him? That's not Erika.' Lixue said in her mind and she just turned her gaze to the road and went home to her condo.
