Chapter 5 - How

—Inner Claw, Columbis City; Lanima Region

Gogo and Raki then headed far away from the convention, they know how many of Raki's fans are outside so they needed to break out of the scene without attracting attention to them.

"I'm glad we passed through that, there's a lot of people," Raki said with a different tone, a girly tone.

"Whoa, it's like you had a voice changer," Gogo was surprised.

"Of course, I had to, so that no one would suspect a thing, remember I'm a Voice Actor as well," Raki responded.

"I know, it's still surprising hearing it first hand, or first ear," Gogo said, joking around.

"Hahaha," Raki laughed at her joke.

They then continued walking around the Inner Claw.

"Where do you want to eat? I suggest we eat at the Rannel Dines if you want, Rak…" Gogo asked, suggesting to Raki but almost slipped and called her name.

"Don't worry about it, call me Aki, for now, I like Rannel Dines, let's head there," Raki answered, reassuring Gogo.

"I almost messed up there," Gogo thought.

They then headed to Rannel Dines and requested a private room, Gogo ordered Steak with Fried Rice, and Raki ordered Chicken and Omelette. 10 minutes after they sat down on their table's chairs, their food arrived.

"I still can't believe how fast their chefs are cooking these dishes, it's incredible," Raki said, amazed by it.

"They have high-class chefs, let's eat," Gogo replied.

They then ate their food, and while they were eating, they had a conversation, a slow one since they were savoring their food.

"I can see that you like chicken a lot, legs and thighs are not my favorite but they're tastier than the chest part, although they're harder to cook and perfect," Gogo responded.

"Oh, do you base your food taste on how well you cook them?" Raki asked her.

"After getting married, of course, I have to, My and my husband's food are basically the same," Gogo answered.

"Yeah, speaking of which, I was surprised you have a husband, the way you dress and your job doesn't really suit it," Raki said.

"I tend to hide it for convenience, you said you were surprised, you know about it before?" Gogo asked.

"Probably months ago, I saw your hand having a very expensive ring so I figured it was the case," Raki replied, answering her question.

"His husband's name must be Guzan since it's engraved in the ring with her name in it, Gogo, close to Ogo I guess," Raki thought.

They then finished their food and they're drinking their alcohol.

"I know I said I tend to hide it but I'll happily flaunt it if it comes to it, also, I tend to forget it's there since I wear it all the time, I even forget it whenever I take a bath," Gogo responded as she fiddles with her ring with a smile.

Raki looks at her with relief at the same time, with jealousy.

"Okay, enough of that flexing, I know I have no one special," Raki said jokingly.

"I'm sure you'll find one, is there someone in the industry you like in particular?" Gogo asked her.

"There's no one in particular since I'm pretty dedicated to my work, the only one that made me very interested, outside and inside my work, is you. But you're taken so all I can do is befriend you," Raki answered her question.

"You flatter me, all I do is draw, it's not the best profession, unlike yours, but wait, you never had at least a crush in your industry? You're in your 20s now, I even thought you had a partner already, in secret," Gogo responded, asking her further.

"I don't really like being in an intimate relationship, it affects my work, and I had a horrible past about it too," Raki answered, embarrassed to even start the story.

"She's embarrassed about it, cute," Gogo thought.

"I'm all ears but if you feel like not talking about it, I'm fine either way," Gogo said, offering her ears.

"It's not really serious for others once they heard it, for me, it is since I overthink things, it's just that, whenever I like someone or something, I tend to be very possessive, I stopped myself from having that habit by not being in a relationship anymore, and focus on what I really love doing," Raki said, taking Gogo's offer.

"I wouldn't take you to be possessive, that would be a good idea for your work, like ASMR boyfriend, or a TV show where you act as one," Gogo responded, suggesting to her an idea.

Raki then finished her alcohol.

"I can send that back to the management, it's a good idea, though I would have to test it first," Raki said.

"Test it?" Gogo asked.

"To you…" Raki answered.

Raki's head then dropped to the table, drunk.

"Ra… Aki!?" Gogo called, worried.

"She only drank a cup and she's drunk…" Gogo thought, surprised.

"And I forgot to get her manager's number to come to pick her up," Gogo said, looking over her phone.

She took Raki's phone from her pocket but it was locked.

"This won't help me at all," Gogo murmured.

"Am I going to lift Raki back to my house? That's going to be dangerous and exciting…" Gogo thought, worried.

And so, she paid for their accommodations in the Rannel Dines and carried Raki on her back. At this point, the guards that were supposed to follow Raki couldn't locate her after waiting outside Rannel Dines for hours, and Gogo was able to take her back to her house.

She then ordered a Taxi back to Middle Claw, to Gogo's house.

—Shogo Household; Middle Claw, Columbis City; Lanima Region

After hours of taxi driving, they arrived at the Shogo Household.

"Raki, I took you to our house because I don't have any contact of your manager to pick you up, if you're sobered up, call her immediately," Gogo said, after entering the house.

Raki then jumped out of Gogo's back, faced Gogo, and kissed her on the lips.

"Hmm!? Why is she kissing me!? French kiss too! I'm drunk, so this will weaken me, especially since it's Raki! I have to cook for Guzan too!" Gogo thought, panicking in her head.

She didn't realize that Raki has taken her outer clothes off, slowly taking them to their couch.

The moment Raki went on top of Gogo, Gogo was able to stop her and goes on top of her.

"I didn't know you are like this when you're drunk, this is actually dangerous!" Gogo said.

"And she's able to strip me!" Gogo thought, surprised.

"Do you not like it, Gogo? I thought you want to know me more… I'm showing it to you now, besides, we're both girls, this is nothing, girls do this sometimes…" Raki said, seductively.

"What are you talking about? Regardless of that, I'm married," Gogo responded, reprimanding and asking Raki.

"Can you not humor… my selfish request, Gogo? I'm always at work, tired, bored, and annoyed, I wanted to experience something different, seeing how you draw me made me feel something, so I… wanted to show you more so that I can see more of your drawings of me," Raki answered, crying, wanting more affection.

"That's right, the industry she's in is probably something close to an actor's life, she doesn't have a private life since most of them are shown in public, she wanted to experience what it's like to be on the other side, I understand it, that's why I never show my face online, and changes my appearance outside," Gogo thought, empathizing with Raki.

As she looks at her face, Raki slowly gets closer to Gogo, about to kiss her again.

*door opens*

"I'm home!" Guzan shouted.

Guzan saw the two of them on the couch, half-naked.

"Guzan!" Gogo called, shocked at his return.

"Gogo?" Guzan called back.

Raki looked over to whoever entered, still drunk.

"Guzan? Is that her husband!?" Raki thought, shocked.

She realized what she has done.
