tw: abuse.

"If that's okay to everyone, we will do it."

"I'm fine with that as long as she's fine with it as well." Lev says, and I nod.

"Then, we will publicize this in the next hour. I assure that both Lev and (Y/n) will be kept safe." Mrs. Koizumi says, and I just nod.

The meeting went on longer because my aunt made it longer. She tried to make me look like I was definitely doing indecent things by will. I had to keep my tears in my eyes, or else the whole thing will seem real when it's not. I'm going to be the one defeated if I ever start crying.

We all head out, and my aunt is smiling victoriously. I've only been the one to catch her smiling like that. Everything was her plan. She's trying to get Lev in her radar too, and this is her plan for that. She's going to hurt him through me.

"You're playing dirty.. Aunt Zhang." She stops walking, and turns to me with a bright smile. "That's really dirty.. You made it seem like I really did that for fame.."

"Oh darling, this is only the beginning." She lightly pats my cheek twice, turning away as she hummed happily to herself.

I brush my hair back, and grip strands of hair tightly, my blood boiling from what she did. She really wants him to break.. and she's going to do it by using me. She's going to crush both of us, and she's trying to crush me... until I give into her petty plan.

When I got home, the same old thing happened. She did it because she was happy. That's her excuse. She was happy that's why she did it. I had to suffer while she was victoriously drinking wine as she watched me cry. It's making me want to give up, but if I do, she'll only be happy with it.

The news that came out went crazy. Everyone was surprised and there were many reactions. The two rookies of a rookie company are dating, and even the daughter has a boyfriend. Many people were against how they didn't mind the relationships in the agency. Ours.. what it really is.. it's just a public stunt.

But despite my worries of me getting more of my aunt's wonderful things, Misaki finally woke up. I think that's the best thing to me that happened since.. I don't know.. since I got into this hell. I'm happy that she's back. We went to visit her, and they said that she's going to be in the hospital for some time more.

I'm in school as I am waiting for the news to die down. I knock, and everyone's staring at me now. I'm starting to hate how everyone just stares at me. Lev walks up to me, and greets me with a kiss on my forehead. I just smile, and kiss his cheek in return.

"Hey, what made you come here?" Lev asks, and if he signed up for becoming an actor, he would do well. "Did you miss me?" I smile, and he holds my hand.

"Actually, Lev, I'm here for Athena." She turns to me and groans. "I have to talk to her about something." He pouts, and kisses my forehead. "I will be with you this lunch, but this break, I have to talk to Athena."

"Ugh, let's not talk here." She grabs my hand, and starts dragging me to the rooftop. We lock the door, and she turns to me with crossed arms. "What the hell was with that news? Was there no other way?"

"Well, if we denied the rumors, it'll only make people think that we're just trying to hide it. But with a relationship out in the open, it'll take everyone's attention away from that one." She scrunches her nose and clicks her tongue in annoyance.

"So, what do you need from me?"

"I don't think I'll be able to protect Lev.. the main reason why she wants this to happen is for Lev to suffer while he's in this relationship... more than he already is. She wants Lev to be.. only a public figure, a mere public stunt, and that's clearly going to happen."
