Was It You All Along? {GiyuShino}

Chapter 21

Shinobu Kocho

We left our groceries at our apartment and decided to hang out since it's been a while

"So how is it shooting?"

"The story is well written and the characters too"

"I see, and, what do you think about attending the LIVE with the squad today?"

"Me?"

"No shit Sherlock, I was talking to the tree"

"What did the tree respond with?" I laughed

"A laugh" I rolled my eyes as we continued to walk, we didn't have a specific destination, our only reason was to spend some time together since it's been so long. "You know that I love you right?"

"I do, but how much" I teased him but he looked back at me with a smirk

"I could show you tonight..."

"No!" he brought his face closer to mine but I pulled away, first of all, we were in public!

"Hehe"

We once again continued to walk in silence, it was pretty sunny so we decided to sit under the shade of a tree

"I met Nao today morning"

"Where?"

"Douma san offered a treat at the cafe, she was also there. Talking about the cafe, Giyuu san I have to go back!"

"Calm down Shino, you are gonna get paid better as an actress" It wasn't the same, the reason,, why I joined the cafe was because of its vintage atmosphere but do I get it here? I don't want to be an actress, I just wanted Giyuu San's reputation undisturbed

"I'm not gonna do anymore of acting after this film, I just wanted people to accept us..."

"Even if people don't accept us, I'll still love you, no matter what they say. And I and the squad will be quitting soon, maybe in a few months, so I'll take the role of the CEO of the company, my sister sure needs to be married and won't get time"

If that was the case, we could live a normal life... No one to disturb us...

"And maybe I can hire you as my assistant" I saw him smirk

"Anything but working under your control"

                                  •~•

We were back home and it was Giyuu's turn to take a bath, I had to go for the shooting in an hour

I got a call from an unknown never, I decided to ignore it but what if it's from the company?

"Hello?"

"Shinobu Kocho?! Bitch, please! Quit already! You have haters before the movie is even done shooting! Just die already-"

What the hell...? Who was it? A fan? No... A hater? How did they get my number?

"Shinobu?" I was taken aback as I heard Giyuu san behind me. "Who was it?"

"Ahh just the cast membered playing a prank" I didn't want to worry him... But already? Before the movie was even released??

"Are you sure?"

"I'm gonna cancel the shooting for today... Not feeling well"

"Sure, I'll make you a cup of coffee" Giyuu san left the room leaving me alone... This was bad for the movie... It would get so much hate... Should I back off? First I gotta call Kate

"Hello?"

"Kate, I'm sorry but I won't be able to come today, I have a  terrible migraine..."

"Ahh it's fine then, take a rest" Kate hung the phone... I was letting myself overthink again, but who would do this? The same person who revealed our identities? 

"Coffee is here" Giyuu San handed the cup over to me and I took a sip. "Something is bothering you"

"Mirgrane, it feels terrible"

"Just sleep okay?" I finished my drink and laid back on the bed, Giyuu san kissed my forehead and wrapped the comforter around me

As soon as he left the room I took out my phone and called my older sister

"Shino?"

"Sis... You know about the movie right?"

"Oh yeah, congrats lil sis!"

"It's not like that... I got a call asking me to quit from a fan or something..."

"What..?"

"Should I quit? Is mine and Giyuu san's relationship in danger? Am I gonna bring hate to the movie?"

"First of all, you shouldn't just quit because an idiot threatened you to, and no, he loves you truly, and you love him, that's all that matters. And it was them who invited you to the movie right?"

"I guess..."

"Then it's alright, don't stress out now" I hummed as I hung up the phone, she was right... I wasn't gonna quit because a random bitch asked me to

                                    •~•
I woke up to someone patting my forehead, must be Giyuu San...

"How are you feeling now?" I slowly opened my eyes and yes, it was him. He helped me get up and handed me a cup of water

"I don't know..." Whenever I think about it, my head drives me crazy... People don't want me in the acting industry...

Should I just quit?
