THE NEW TRIO.

Having three regular jobs while also having to attend acting school and her normal classes, Kyoko barely had time to visit the agency since last month. Although, now she had no choice but to take some time out of her busy schedule and go there because she got a call from Swara one night, who told her that she was summoned by the President at the Love Me Division the next morning.

Kyoko suspected that the reason Takarada had called her there had nothing to do with any actual Love Me job, but the President's curiosity about how she spent her Valentine's Day.

The next day, as soon as she cleared her schedule, she arrived at the agency without fail.

While treading across the familiar corridor leading up to the door of the Love Me room, she heard someone calling out to her from behind.

"The President called you too?" It was Kanae.

"Moko!" Kyoko crushed her in a bear hug, which her best friend tried to cut short, as her cheeks were burning up due to embarrassment.

"Cut that out, will you? Why do you always have to act so sappy?" Moko remarked, flustered.

"I'm just so happy to see you. It's been ages since we met."

"Ages? We just saw each other on Valentine's day when we made those chocolates together! Don't you remember?"

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that." Kyoko giggled impishly, biting her tongue. "Anyway how did it go? Did you give the chocolates to Hiou?"

"I did, but you remember that guy who had been harassing me? He saw us and got so jealous that he ended up causing a ruckus on the set. It was a nightmare! Even though Hiou is just a twelve-year-old kid, he ruined it!" Moko let out a resigned sigh "I'm so done with guys and their petty jealousy!" The last part of what she said somehow reminded her of Ren. "How about you? How was your Valentine's day?" She frowned curiously in anticipation.

"It was nice. Everyone enjoyed my chocolates and they were all very grateful."

"Everyone?" She narrowed her eyes. "Even Tsuruga?" Kanae had been suspecting Ren of having feelings for Kyoko for a long time, which was why she was concerned, since Kyoko had decided to give chocolates to everyone only excluding him.

Instead of replying, Kyoko froze up as Ren's kiss burned its way into her mind. Even if it was a small peck on the cheek which didn't mean anything to him, it was still a big deal to her as it enough to pick up the pace of her heart.

Realising that Moko was still waiting for her answer, she muttered, "yeah, he was grateful. Infact, too much grateful for me to like it. Just thinking about it reminds me how much of pain it was."

Moko gasped, her first guess being that Ren must've kissed Kyoko. However, if that were true, her melodramatic friend wouldn't be talking about it so casually. "What did he do?" She asked with bated breath.

Before Kyoko could respond, they were interrupted by the faint sounds of dialogues from a movie, and it was coming from Love Me room.

"Is someone in there?" Moko wondered aloud.

Her companion shrugged, and after a few long seconds of standing still, the girls decided to find out the answer for themselves by entering.

Pushing open the door, both the girls gasped aloud at the sight before them.

The room was occupied by a petite teenage girl with straight, brown hair, who looked not much older than themselves. She was sitting at the large square table in the middle of the room, watching a movie on her laptop.
