Soon enough, they were back in Japan.

Komaeda felt horrible. Everyone knew. Everyone talked about him. Everyone. The whole world had their eyes on him.

"Komaeda-kun, we've been offered an amazing business opportunity,"

The pale boy looked up at his manager, frowning. The dark circles under his eyes were obvious. "What is it?"

"Well, you've been invited to play one of the main characters in an upcoming show,"

"Play? As in... acting?"

"Yes,"

"I'm not an actor,"

"So? It might be fun! You don't have to do it, but maybe it would also help cover up your recent... controversy,"

"Don't call it a controversy. It wasn't my fault,"

Nakamura nodded. "Of course not. Here." He handed him a bunch of papers. "That's the script. It's a romance story from what I know. The genre is... boys love, I think it's called. You would play a man that two other men are into or something like that,"

"I see. I'll... think about it. Kamukura-kun wasn't invited though, right?"

"No, he wasn't,"

"Alright,"

"This will make your schedule very busy though. You will still have to attend photoshoots. You'll also need to take some acting classes before they can start filming,"

"Okay. Uhm, can I go now?"

"You're done with the photoshoot, so yes,"

Komaeda left the building where Hinata was waiting for him. The pale boy hadn't found motivation to hire a bodyguard so his boyfriends had agreed to be there to protect him if anything happened whenever he went out.

"Hey," Hinata said, smiling.

"Hi. Nakamura-san asked me to be an actor in a show,"

"What show?"

"It doesn't exist yet. It's a romance story and I'd be one of the protagonists," He told him.

"Cool. Do you wanna do it?"

Komaeda shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe. It sounds fun, but I'd still have to attend photoshoots and it would make me super busy. I also don't want people to make fun of me for being a bad actor,"

"I guess that's a good point. But maybe you'll be amazing at it,"

Komaeda's driver arrived and both boys went inside the car.

"I'm gonna read through the script before I decide,"

"Good idea. Also, uh... how are you doing in school? We're graduating soon, so... there's only a few finals left,"

"My grades are alright. But that doesn't matter, I have a job and enough money,"

"That makes sense,"

"What do you wanna do after you graduate?"

"I want to be a surgeon,"

"A-a surgeon??"

"Yes. If that doesn't work out, I'll become an office worker,"

Komaeda smiled. "Good luck then. I believe in you. But why do you wanna be a surgeon? I never knew you were interested in medicine,"

"My parents said I should do it,"

The pale boy frowned. "What? Get a job that you like, not one your parents like,"

"They'd kill me if I did that,"

"What do you wanna be?"

"A lawyer,"

"Eh? That's a well-paying job too, isn't it?"

Hinata nodded. "Not as well-paying as a surgeon though. I don't even think I'd like cutting people open and stuff..."

"Then become a lawyer! That suits you much more!"

Hinata shook his head. "I can't,"

"You're gonna feel miserable forever with a job you don't like!"

The car stopped. "We're there,"

Komaeda got out. "Please drive Hinata-kun home,"

"Of course,"

"See you!" Komaeda waved.

"Yeah, bye." Hinata smiled at him.
