My love reaches deeper [BOOK 1]

New Recruits

It was now the final filming for the Love Now’s finale.

Throughout the weekdays and now, Hina has noticed that Akuma has been avoiding her like the plague, running away as soon as he sees her. It makes her wonder if that small embarrassing interaction with Aqua is why Akuma has been avoiding her.

But it’s not the time to think about that, Hina quickly draws her attention back to Yuki and MEM-cho who were talking about the fact that Love Now is finally over. “Man! I’m gonna miss you guys!” MEM-cho pouts. “It’s not like we’re leaving forever, we could still see each other.” Yuki giggled.

“I agree. To be honest, I’m glad that it’s over. Now I can sleep well now.” Hina yawns as she places her head on the desk, her eyes looking around the room before her eyes land on Aqua and Akane. “Hm, wondering what they’re talking about.” Hina thought as she stood up and walked towards them.

“Hey, what are you-”

“That Ai actually had a child in secret.”

Hina quickly stops in her tracks, her mouth quickly goes shut as her eyes stare at Akane, slightly wide and in shock. Luckily Akane and Aqua didn’t notice her so she quickly scurried back to her seat. “Oh? Were you trying to talk to Aqua?” MEM-cho asked, with a teasing smirk.

“Well, I was trying to see what Akane and Aqua were talking about.” Hina explains her poker face coming back almost immediately. “Hm? Are you sure you aren't just jealous?” Yuki hummed in amusement, making Hina tilt her head to the side, confused.

“What do you mean?” Hina asked, slightly dreading where the conversation was leading too. “You know what I mean! You and Aqua have gotten so close until Akane decided to act in a way to protect herself.” Yuki explains as Hina slightly glared at her.

“I have nothing against Akane and I’m not close with Aqua. Where did you get this assumption anyway?” Hina said as MEM-cho and Yuki looked back at each other, then grinned.

“Well, how come you’re not talking with Aqua as much?” MEM-cho asked. “That’s because-” Hina quickly stops mid sentence as the embarrassing memory between her and Aqua comes flowing back in.

“As I was saying, I’m glad this show is over.” Hina huffs, standing up from her seat with her face slowly turning red. “I’m gonna take a break outside, cya.” And just like that, Hina leaves the room. Leaving a worried Yuki and MEM-cho by themselves.

“Man, did we really offended her?” Yuki mumbles. “Maybe… But it’s best if we give her some space.” MEM-cho replied as she scrolled through her gallery, then her eyes landed on the picture she took of Hina and Aqua.

"To be honest, Hina and Aqua could be a really cute couple.”
