Everything I saw today, and the feeling, I had within me... All came out in the form if tears... I sobbed like a little kid... And I poured out my honest feelings to him, which I had been hiding from myself.

Alexis:"Now... For some reasom... I care about you..."
Ryou:"You do?"
Alexis:"Im always wondering if you're.... Alright... Or sad..."

His expression was clearly that of complete shock.

Ryou:"You're always... Worrying about others..."

After a moment of silence, he began speaking again little by little.

Ryou:"That girl... Krissy is a daughter of a politician..."
Alexis:"Yeah... I heard from Jatsuki."
Ryou:"We were thinking about getting married, but my boss told me getting married would damage my career... I couldnt take the plunge... Meanwhile, when his father decided to run for office... He planned on aiming for even an higher seat that he was in... Thats why... He tried so hard to earn votes... Krissy was forced to marry into the family of a general contractor."
Alexis:"It was a stragetic marriage..."
Ryou:"Yeah... There are still those kind of marriages..."

I remember what Ryou told me when me first met...

"Everybody marries for convience, and not because they love each other..."

He was talking about himself... And Krissy...

Ryou:"Still even then, I didnt give up on being with her... When I went to see her, I found out she felt the same way..."
Alexis:"Yeah... I noticed when I saw you to today."
Ryou:"... But someone took a picture of us kissing, and it almost ended up in the tabloids."
Alexis:"Really? I have never saw it, in the news."
Ryou:"Its because her father used his political powers to stop them from printing it..."
Alexis:"I see... There would have been a scandal if she was caught cheating."
Ryou:"Her father is always like that... He treasures his political career over his own daughter's feelings..."

They surely went through alot when they were dating...

Ryou:"When her father found out about her affair he was furious, I lied and said I was dating someone else to protect her, and my talent agency from trouble."
Alexis:"But that was before we met, right?"
Ryou:"Yeah... I dont actually have any girlfriends though, if I cause so much trouble I'd lose her... I would rather die... I thought."

So whats why he tried to kill himself...

Ryou:"I jumped into the river, even though I couldd swim, so it wasnt easy to take my own life..."
Alexis:"I thought that you really tried to kill yourself..."
Ryou:"I was half serious, there was a possibility that I'd get a cramp or hit something causing me to not be able swim, I wouldnt have cared if those things happened... But then... You jumped into the river..."
Alexis:"Yeah... Because I thought I had to save you..."
Ryou:"When I saw you trying so hard to find me, I thought about Jatsuki, If I died, who would take care of him?"
Alexis:"Yeah, he would've been all alone, and on top of that... You have a lot of fans who love you, they wpuld have been devastated too..."
Ryou:"The moment I jump those things were completely absent from my mind."
