SHOOTING STARS, h. rindou

CHAPTER SEVEN
something's off

THIRD PERSON’s POV

(Y/N) got her consciousness back after what happened earlier. She doesn't like flashy lights, just like what happened earlier. The lady tried to adjust her visions when bright lights welcomed her eyes, later then, a shining ivory chandelier embraced her sight. Her head is still spinning, aching made her whine in pain and held her head as she tried to sit up from a soft surface she was lying on.

"Oh, good. You're awake."

You caught off guard when a manly voice spoked at the back of your figure, you turned your head to where the voice cane from and you saw a guy leaning in the door frame. He's very fashionable if you'd ask about his appearance, he had a clean cut and his hair is dyed with almost the same colors as Rindou's.

"Uhm... Can I ask, where am I?" The lady asked in an almost whisper voice as she swallowed the lump in her throat. She roamed her eyes around her area, trying to remember what happened and where did you went before you got unconscious. Then it's like life flashed before your eyes, you remembered that you're on your way to Rindou's place when he asked and you knew well, what's the reason why but you didn't expected the sudden attacks of the paparazzi.

Damn, they're so famous that even the paparazzi and their fans might kill me because of that goddamn issue...

"You're in the place of the rascals. I ordered Rindou, you're fuck buddy I mean, to contact and made you come over to talk about the lastest issue spreading in the whole showbiz." You nodded and processed what the man said, then you realized what he said.

"Wait─ so you know... Rindou and I are─"

"Yes, darling." He said and smirked.

"But how─"

"Because I'm Ran Haitani, their manager slash producer and also the one who built this group." He said and completely didn't let her finish the lady's question. (Y/N) then shrugged as she seated properly in the bed, now fully facing the man named 'Ran'.

"So, uhm... Are you like.. Rindou's uhm... father?" After the lady questioned, there was a silent pause and akward atmosphere started to coat the room, until Ran scoffed as if (Y/N) just said offensive.

"Are you insulting me? Really?" Ran said in the most irritated voice, as his veins in his head are about to pop.

"Oh no─ you might took me the wrong way. You're not old in your figure tho, I was just asking 'cause.. you really look like him, so maybe he─"

"I'm his older brother! We're only two tears apart! For fuck sake.. use your common sense, young lady!" He said and ran his hand through his scalp and then put his hands back to his pants' pockets. Ran then slowly walked to the couch, still facing her as he sunk in to the couch and took his hands out to lean in to his knees and held his hands together from above, as if he's thinking of something deeply.

"So... how long have, you and Rindou, been doing this little agreement?" He asked and faced the lady who's now sitting at the bed's edge with her legs, crossed together. Gathering her confidence in.

"Almost two? Or three weeks.. I don't know, I lost count." The lady shrugged and the man huffed his out his breath.

"Okay, next. Monday afternoon of July 8, the day you and Kakucho was seen outside in a convenience store by our rivals, trying to splash dirt on our reputation. What businesses you're having with Kaku?" He asked in a serious baritone voice, sending cold shivers to the lady who's now thinking if she got arrested or what?
