Finding Juliet [VERY slow updates]

Act I

I panted, gasped for air, as I exit the Kiss & Cry with coach. I thanked the audience before I go, as usual. I also thanked.. her. Silently. Though I felt like I was talking to the air.

"Mr. Hanyu, would you mind a short interview?"

I was called after my performance of Romeo and Juliet. I looked at coach Brian and he smiled, patting me in the shoulder.

"Yes, sure," I agreed, nodding and smiling at the press. I tried my best to speak in English. I should also work on this, and then my quads.

We went backstage to start the interview. "You've done another great performance of Romeo and Juliet just now! How do you do that? What's your secret?"

I looked down and started to think. You know, I always get the same questions about my RomiJuri, which frustrates me sometimes.

And I always answer the same thing, I only rephrase it. I looked at my translator before I spoke.

"I always think of Romeo's love for Juliet. In that way, I get really passionate. All the emotions, the feelings of Romeo.. I try my best to execute all of them and give an outstanding performance."

"Well, you really did very well!" The reporter said.

"Thank you very much," I laughed and responsed again in English. This is one of the few things I could say fluently.

"But do you have anyone who is inspiring you to do this program beautifully? Your very own Juliet?"

The smile in my countenance faded. But I managed to make a new one, just for the sake of the camera in front of me.

For me, this question.. is surely hard to answer.

I don't hear it that often, but when I get asked about this, I feel so tired. I'm so tired of hearing this. I don't like hearing this.

"I don't," Grinning, I shook my head. And then I proceeded to reply with Japanese. "I just.. try to put myself in the shoes of Romeo and imagine everything."

"Is that so?" The reporter nodded, after the translator had, well, translated, "How about before? Weren't you popular as a high school boy?"

"I.." Laughing, I averted my gaze from the microphone. "..never had one."

I eyed the interviewer once again, accidentally giving him a serious face as a response.

"..Alright, thank you very much for your time!" said the man. He seemed to falter to ask further questions because of the look on the my face. Well.

"Thank you very much." I thanked the older male again, bowing, forcing a beam as I watch them go.

I can never answer such questions regarding to that without having my own heart feel like it's being crumpled, or torn apart.

"I wonder if.. I will ever have the guts to tell them my very own tragedy."

With a sad tone in my voice, I whispered to myself, making my own self shiver at the thoughts in my mind.

Everything flashes back, every bittersweet moment.

My own story.

The story of how I lost my Juliet.

∽☆∽

I started it. I'm going to sob for the rest of the story haha (￣▽￣)ゞ I decided to at least make this earlier than my plan to make up with the epilogue I couldn't make hoho I am sorry (╯︵╰,) I hope you enjoy this like how you enjoyed Surreptitiously In Love! Though I'm not sure how soon I can update every week... since school is starting very soon and my gadgets would be confiscated! Argh. ('；ω；') But that would (probably) improve my writing skills because of English class. So yeah. I planned to make this a third person POV this time but meh. Seeing things in Yuzu's perspective would be waaaay cuter. I mean nicer.
