After Saira talked with her father, she thought of checking out the old house, the house where they used to live together for a moment, or perhaps... Looked like they were living together.
< knock knock> "Saira-Chan? Are you ok?" asked Tadame worriedly.
Saira opened the door and assured Tadame that she was alright. "I just finished talking to my father," said Saira.
Saira told Tadame that she will be going out for a moment because she has something to do. Saira wanted to check out the house and also thought of going to check her mother's apartment. Saira thought of taking the chance and go now before she forgets or gets no chance to do. Saira also did not want to interrupt the family gathering. She wanted to give them their space. Tadame was worried that Saira felt uncomfortable or is going through something, so she asked Saira again and again if she was alright. At last, Saira told Tadame that she is meeting with someone and ran off quickly. Ittekimasu "Obasan I was going to meet someone. Oh, look at the time! I'm late, I have to go now! " said Saira and ran off quickly. "... Itterasshai...Be careful on your way," said Tadame.After Saira ran a little bit away from the house, she started to slow down her steps. As she was walking towards her old house, Saira's steps felt heavy. As she was walking, her feelings and memories back then when she was in that house started to run into her mind. Saira stopped walking. As the feeling is running through her she felt miserable and lost. She did not move and kept standing in her place.
Suddenly someone touched her shoulder.
" What a coincidence, I was about to call dad to meet you." Said Oliver. [ He said that in English ]
Saira brushed Oliver's hand off her shoulders. "Who are you?" asked Saira.
"Oh! Right! I'm Oliver your older brother. I came here for shooting and thought of meeting you." Said Oliver.
"You, excuse me" Said Katashi. Katashi ran towards Saira and Oliver and stood behind Oliver. " Is something wrong?" asked Katashi, then he turned towards Saira "Are you ok?" asked Katashi.
Katashi followed Saira as his mother requested to because she was so worried. When he saw Oliver running towards Saira and touched her shoulder and Saira brushed it right away, he thought that Oliver was some weird pervert guy. "Senpai??! What are you doing here?... Did... I mean since when?" asked Saira surprisingly.
" I'll tell you later, let's just get rid of this pervert," answered Katashi. Katashi took out his phone to call the police, but then Saira stopped him. " Wait! It's a misunderstanding" said Saira. "What do you mean? I saw him touching you and is getting all touchy with you," said Katashi [ That's how Katashi saw it]
"Wooo, calm down. I think you are misunderstanding. I'm Saira's older brother." [ he said in japanese]
Katashi looked at Saira as to confirm. "...Well... I guess so..." said Saira while looking away. " Oi, don't say it like that. It's not convincing at all. Will you please confirm it probably!" said Oliver.
Saira let out a sigh "... Well, yes he is my brother [ sad in japanese] ... He is my brother from another mother." [🔙 she said that part in English] Said Saira while turning away. Oliver locked Saira's head playfully. "So you finally are accepting me now?" asked Oliver.
"I never said that, don't twist my words, please," said Saira.In the end, somehow Oliver made Saira and Katashi follow him to a unique restaurant where he is going to shoot.
" Order whatever you want, it's my treat," said Oliver. Katashi took the menu and ordered what he wanted to eat. " Wait, senpai? Aren't you supposed to go back? Your uncle is still there after all" asked Saira. " Well, it's fine. And I'm so hungry to go back, I did not eat back there, you know" said Katashi.
"Oh... Sorry, I should have assured Obasan probably before leaving," said Saira.
"Well never mind," said Katashi.
"Saira, order something, you haven't ordered yet. Shall I order for you?" said Oliver.
" Hey, Oliver, come here is time for shooting" shouted Oliver's manager.
" I'm coming! Katashi, please make this stubborn girl order something, I'll be back soon" said Oliver. After Oliver left the table Katashi asked Saira whether she would like something and handed her the menu. When Saira was looking at the menu when suddenly someone shouted while running to the director "We have a problem!" the model girl who was supposed to be Oliver's partner got into an accident and can not come.
"What!! What should we do now?! We have no time to look for another model! And the pictures should be sent by tomorrow!" said Oliver's manager worriedly.
The director stared at Saira "Calm down and don't get flustered. I think it can be saved." said the director. " what do you mean?" asked the photographer. The director told the photographer to look towards Saira. "Nice choice." said with a smile. "Oliver, you said she is your step-sister, right? I have an idea for you guys to get closer. " the director said with a smirk.
The director asked the makeup artist and hair artist to prepare as planned. Then, he walked towards Saira and asked her if she could help them with the photoshoot and explained the situation and the concept. Saira tried to refuse but the director kept insisting and asked for help. "It's an emergency. Please help us with this. We are in a difficult position. It won't just affect me and the people here but also other people who are working in the US." Said the director. "But..." Oliver interrupted Saira and asked to talk to her separately. Saira followed Oliver outside to talk.
"I talked with our father. He said the choice is yours and it's up to you to decide. You don't have to worry about anything. You don't have to hide anymore anyway people will find out sooner or later." said Oliver. Saira kept quiet. "What? I don't have to hide anymore? People will find about it sooner or later? You are saying this now?" said Saira in his inner self. Oliver was observing Saira's feelings. " The issue will be published in the US only, and it's just one photoshoot... Well... I'm not going to force you. I will respect your decision." said Oliver and turned to walk away. " I'll do it. I will help, but this would be the first and the last, also I'm not doing it for you but it's for the people who would be in trouble." Said Saira while looking away. " I knew that my sister is a kind-hearted person. Thank you. I owe you one. Don't worry I'll lead you." Said Oliver with an appreciated smile.
"Don't talk so much and let's get ready." Said Saira while walking back to the restaurant.
Saira and Oliver started to get ready and dressing up.
There were three concepts: Chic and cool couple in Tokyo, loving couple in Tokyo, and longing couples in Tokyo. Every concept has three different outfits.
" All the concept skinship and intimacy need to be used, are you ok with it?" asked Oliver while smirking mischievously.
" You don't have to worry and let's finish this quickly," said Saira.For the chic and cool couple in Tokyo concept, for Saira's first outfit, Saira wore cat-like eye makeup, her hair was styled elegantly but mature, she wore an elegant pure navy blue top with short sleeves, a unique tailored skirt, a mature and sexy blue trench coat, a thigh belt, black ankle boots, fashionable bonnie hat, heart-shaped glasses, leather black gloves, and one side silver cat earring.
As Saira finished dressing up, everyone was surprised and wowed by Saira's look and how she suited the outfit is. She looked like a professional model.
Saira and Oliver showed a perfect look and chemistry together. Saira posed like professional models and like someone who has been in the industry for a while. The director and the photographer were satisfied with Saira's expression and posing. They did not tell Saira what to do or how to do it, so was Oliver. Instead of him leading Saira, it was Saira who was leading him. Saira touched Oliver with no hesitation or shyness.
" You are good at this more than I expected." Said, Oliver while posing and holding Saira. "Well, Mr.Oliver, I guess you forgot whose daughter am I." Said Saira while posing, putting her arms around Oliver and getting closer which made Oliver gasped for a second.
While Oliver and Saira were doing the photoshoot, Katashi was watching from his table. He thought that today, he has seen different sides of Saira. He was both stunned and surprised, however, he did not show it.
