Shadows Of Fate

6.) Behind the Mask

"Hey, Kuroi! How did the photoshoot go?" Yuta asked.

"What photoshoot?" I replied in confusion.

"The secret one."

"How did you know about my photoshoot for a new brand?"

"Another endorsement? Geez, how many do you have? Welp, this is news to me. Thanks for the information!"

"Thank- OH SHIT!"

Yuta had a smug smile on his face after hearing my rather loud response. I sighed in defeat.

Yuta: 1 Kuroi: 0

"Yuta, don't just sit there and smirk your ass off. Tell me about the 'secret photoshoot'!" I whined.

"You really don't know? I guess you haven't done it yet. The photoshoot is for your official acknowledgement that you are the new face of the school. It's called a secret because the school doesn't know that they have a new face of the school. This will be a revelation of some sorts." Yuta explained.

"Oh, that's, rather normal. Is Nezuko doing the photoshoot as well?" I asked.

"Yes, of course." Yuta said before suddenly adding, "Speak of the devil, I think someone is here to drag you along with them for break!"

The sliding doors of Yuta's office was suddenly opened with a loud bang. In came Nezuko, looking as cheerful as always.

"There you are! I was looking for you in your class but couldn't find you. Let's go! You're following me, Kuromi!" Nezuko exclaimed before dragging me by the arm.

"K-kuromi? What the hell is that?" I blurted.

Nezuko just cheekily smiled at me. I turned to Yuta for help.

"Have fun, Kuromi!" He teased, smiling and waving at me.

They definitely were talking about me when I was absent that day.

Seeing that the 2 left the room, I checked my emails on my computer. Most of them were all promotions and spam. However, one particular email caught my attention. The sender of the email, their name was "SQP Organisation". How strange. Among all the different companies and organisations that I've worked with, I've never encountered this organisation before. On the email, it read:

Dear Yuta,

"What did I just read, oh my god. Whatever I wish for? Yeah, right." I said out loud with a scoff.

I closed my laptop. Looks like I won't be replying to that email.

(Kuroi's POV)

"So, what's up Kuroi? It's been a while since I got to spend time talking to you in private." Nezuko asked.
