"THE KOCHO SISTERS! MS KOCHO..IS IT TRUE THE ONE AND ONLY GIYUU TOMIOKA IS THE NEW KOCHO'S AMBASSADOR!?" The paparazzi called out. "PLEASE JUST ONE QUESTION MS. KANAE KOCHO!"
Today was the day of the new product line launch. A set of brand new skincare products added to their catalog.
"No questions please." Shinobu smiled at the cameras for pictures as she walked on the red carpet inside to the venue.
Every influencer, celebrity, other name-brands, we're invited to this huge gala. Heck, it was probably the Met Gala of Asia.
A limousine parked at the entrance of the carpet, stepping out was Giyuu, looking as lavish as ever. He held out his hand to help his older sister Tsukato (who was 8 months pregnant), out of the vehicle. Followed by his two best friends. The singing duet, SABKO!
"SABITO AND MAKOMO!! ARENT YOU GUYS SUPPOSED TO BE ON TOUR???" More and more paparazzis called out. "TSUKATO TOMIOKA! HOW FAR ALONG ARE YOU? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN HIDING FROM THE MEDIA!!??"
This was the first public appearance of Tsukato Tomioka since she announced her pregnancy. Giyuu was just trying to get inside without a fuss.
"It's the 21st century, and they still put his name first?" Makomo scoffed and teased her band mate.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————-
They entered the venue, despite being quite successful in the music history (ranking 1st place for 5 weeks straight for their new music video) Sabko had never attended such a decked-out event before.
Giyuu lingered, galas and formals like this weren't a stranger to him. But he found them boring, like he was working overtime. (Gee, I would love my overtime to be at a brand gala.)
"Is that Uzui Tengen?!" Sabito pointed out. "I had no idea he was even invited!"
"Well, yeah, you know how big this Kocho's thing is." Giyuu explained. "I've heard about him, but what's the big deal? I don't understand the hype. I heard he has 3 wives."
"Are you kidding!? He's a music sensation! Like the Frank Sinatra of Asia!!!" Sabito grabbed Makomo and hurriedly ran over to their idol.
Shinobu walked over to Giyuu and his sister. She wore a tight purple long dress, with a slit up by her thigh. Black heels, catching the gaze of many. "Tomioka-san! Ms. Tsukato Tomioka! It's an honor to meet you, and have you here at my gala!" She properly greeted, and introduced herself. "Shinobu Kocho, CEO of Kocho's."
"Why yes! I've heard plenty of good stuff about you and your sister Kocho-san! I'm honored to be here." Tsukato laughed.
Although she's often referred to as 'Giyuu's sister' Tsukato is so much more than that and earned her respect from many. One of the few EGOT nominees & winners, however now she's choosing the simple life. Settling down with her husband, and having a baby on the way.
"Tomioka-san, you should follow me. Pictures need to be taken. The product line release will be announced in an hour."

After announcing their new line, everybody cheered and started to party. High-end champagne was served, Michelin star chefs working in the background.
The night soon came to an end, and here Shinobu was waiting for her personal driver. She called her assistant, "Akane, where is he!? What do you mean he said he's already here??"
Rain started to pour.
She angrily hung up the phone, and shivered as raindrops fell on her dress and dainty hairpin.
Giyuu exited the venue, noticing Shinobu was in a pickle. 'Should I do something...?' I mean she is my boss..'
"Hey," he approached her. "Do you need a ride? I overheard your phone call."
"I'm alright-" Thunder blared in the sky. Sighing, "Actually, a ride would be nice. Thank you." She texted Akane to let her know about her whereabouts.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————-
The clouds above her stormed. Soaking not only her, her bag and textbooks. 'Come on! Today was already bad enough...where is the bus??'
Shinobu frantically stood by the bus stop. Until somebody tapped on her shoulder, and held a red umbrella over her head that was imprinted with an ocean on the handle.
"You need a ride, Miss?"
She blushed, "Yeah...I think I missed my bus. The next one doesn't come in like half an hour." She was desperate to get to class on time, but should she be really trusting a random (handsome) stranger?
Giyuu held the door open of his fancy car, "Me and my driver will help you out." She reluctantly stepped in.
"Where your destination?" The chauffeur asked.
"University of Tokyo." She answered.
"Oh, that's my stop too. Nice to meet you."
—————————————————————————————————————————————————-
"Thank you for the ride, Tomioka-san." She stepped out.
"No problem." He handed her an umbrella. "It's raining, use this to walk inside." Giyuu drove off.
She appreciated, and noticed the design on the handle.
