The filming was finally done for the day. Shizu was putting the hangers to the costumes. She did not get the chance to talk to Kira as Kumo Bell had to rush to their next schedule.
Kira's outfit was hanged in the other side of the tent. It was Le Sucre's newest collection for Summer with some sparkling details. The details were reflecting the lights and it somehow fell on Shizu's eyes. Shizu squinted her eyes then tried to block the lights, she hopelessly tried to reach the costume with her hand and muttered.
"Even now, when we are this close- I still cannot catch up to you. You are too... bright."
"Whoa! Ms. Katagiri, what are you doing here all alone? Let us help you!" An overweight young guy with a pink colored wig rushed in, followed by the other 4 people from Le Sucre. His name was Andy.
Shizu put her hand down then laughed. The 5 people chosen for this project by Ayu were very professional. When Ayu first introduced her to the team, they welcomed her with a warm heart.
As a supervisor, Shizu realized that she had no savoir-faire in professional styling or makeup. Knowing most of the work there were done by her own team she was determined to help them with their task.
She was worried that the crews from the other teams might treat her crew badly because of the unnecessary announcement from the Yamada twins, but here they were rushing in to help Shizu packing the costumes in a high spirit. Oh well, the bad day must have only happened to her.
"I am trying to bring us home as fast as possible." Shizu replied.
Yup. She could not wait to go home. The long-stay guests must have arrived. Shizu was so excited to meet the mysterious guests. Would it be a family, a couple, or a group of friends? She knew one thing- the guests came from South Korea! She was so ready to tell them about her holiday in South Korea and was willing to learn Korean from them.
She was giggling when Mr. Shigeoka approached her.
"Ms. Katagiri, do you need more badge for your team?" Mr. Shigeoka asked.
Shizu looked at all 5 people from Le Sucre and all of them was wearing their badge, so she shook her head.
"No, we all have one. Why?"
"That's weird, your super tall team member who carried all of the luggages here definitely did not wear one. Could you please check with him?" Mr. Shigeoka bowed his head then left.
Shizu bowed her head in return then creased her brow. She did not have a 'super tall' member. Her team consisted of 2 ladies and 3 men, their heights were definitely average. She did tell Ayu that she needed an extra crew. Was he the one sent by Ayu?
She immediately counted the lugages and checked everything. Nothing was lost. Then she found an umbrella and a can of cold milk with a handwritten note 'Shizu Katagiri, Le Sucre'.
"Who gave me these?" She asked her team members but no one could answer her.
She took the milk. It was not a famous brand but the can was cute. There was a picture of an animated kitten ordering the humans to drink it, and it was banana flavored. The expiration date was still long it looked safe to drink it. After observing the milk for awhile, Shizu shrugged and drank it.
Then it started raining.
.....
It was pouring. Kira was looking out the window, there was no evening twilight, only a cloudy grey sky that got darker as time passed.
His phone vibrated, he took it out of his pocket but threw it to the sofa immediately.
"Are you waiting for Shizu - chan?" Kuran asked before rounding his mouth to blow Kira's hair.
Moreno threw himself on the sofa then took Kira's phone.
"Woah! It's Erika Itoh! She asked if you're free tonight. Let me answer her. 'Yes, I am. Wanna fuck?'" He typed the text on Kira's phone then glanced at him to wait for his reaction.
Kira was completely in his own world, he did not change his expression- he was looking out the window then peeked at his watch to check the time.
"Kira you are so depressing. Why don't you just call her if you are worried? And you, stop playing around you lunatic!" Ritsuo the oldest member in Kumo Bell threw a pillow to Moreno's head and it hit his head hard.
"Oops." Moreno pressed the 'Send' button. The devil twin smirked then threw Kira's phone back to him.
"You're welcome Kira." Moreno took the pillow then put his head comfortably on it.
Erika Itoh was the rookie model that took Tokyo Runway by storm and worked under the same label as Kumo Bell. She showed great interest to Kira and they have gone on several dates.
Kira caught the phone then checked it. Moreno really sent the message to Erika Itoh.
