(Next day...)


Kaoru : Off to work?

Koichi : Yeah. You?

Kaoru : No work today.

Koichi : Ah,right. So, you're not going out? Not meeting Matsubara-kun somewhere?

Kaoru :(blushes) What? N-no way. Why would I want to meet him on my day-off... I'm getting tired seeing his face at work all the time.

Koichi : Is that right? So you're just staying here then.

Kaoru : ...(pause) Actually... I was thinking... of going to that place...

Koichi :(wonders) That place?


(At Ukiyo...)


Ukiyo : (going out of the studio)

Kitamura : Matsubara.

Ukiyo : Uh, hai?

Kitamura : Kitagawa-san is asking for you. To her office you go~

Ukiyo : Iya, I'm in a hurry.

Kitamura : Are you going somewhere? Didn't your last shoot of the day finished awhile ago?

Ukiyo : Yeah.But I'm going somewhere.

Mika : (suddenly pops out of nowhere) Moshikashite deeto ka?! [Could it be a date?]

Ukiyo :(shocked) Ooi-!

Mika : (raises her eyebrow) Kaoru-chan to? [With Kaoru-chan?]

Kitamura :(suspects)

Ukiyo : Iie. How is that possible. It's her day-off.

Mika : The more she is free today. (smirks)

Ukiyo : No. I haven't talked to her all day. And we didn't have any plans at all. I'm going alone.

Kitamura : What about Kitagawa-san's meeting then?

Ukiyo : ...

Kitamura :*sigh... You should be on your way, Matsubara. You're not feeling well, ne?

Ukiyo : Eh?

Kitamura : (acts worried)

Mika : Sou ne...Matsubara-san... odaijini kudasai ne. [Get well soon.]

Ukiyo : Omae ra. (amused) (whispers) Thanks. I'll make it up to you. I'll treat you out one of these days for sure.

Kitamura :(chuckles) Hayaku iku.

Ukiyo : Jaa!(quickly goes on his way)


(As Ukiyo get on a taxi outside, Yuuya's van arrives and Yuuya sees him.)


(Yuuya goes in GZM building and requests to meet with Rena.)


Rena : Yuuya. What brings you here.

Yuuya : ...Nothing. I was just bored so I thought I'd come...

Rena : Were you planning to see Matsu?

Yuuya : ...(nods) Un... but-

Rena : He went home already. He's not feeling well.

Yuuya : Eh...?(recalls seeing Ukiyo outside and he seems to be in a hurry) Ah... is that so. I hope he'll feel better.
