Scandal of the Spotlight: Kyohei Rikudoh (Discontinued)

(Sequel) Last Chapter 8

Kyohei has suddenly burst in on the audition.

Kagari: "K-Kyohei..."

I'm so surprised I can barely get out his name.

Kyohei: "I'd like to audition."

His words put the room in an uproar.

Director: "You may be a famous pop star, but you can't just crash an audition you can't just crash an audition like this!"

Producer: "If you haven't followed the proper procedure, our hands are tied."

Kyohei: "Because the actors have already been decided and this audition is just for show?"

Director: "!"

Producer: "How did you..."

(With Kyohei's connections, it would be easy for him to find that out.)

(But why does he care about that in the first place?)

Kyohei: "I don't care if you decide to use me or not."

Kyohei: "But please save your decision until you see my performance."

Director: "If you insist..."

Kyohei: "You'll let me audition?"

Director: "Yes."

Kyohei: "Thank you."

Director: "Well then, show us the scene where the protagonist goes to try to win the girl back."

Kyohei: "Okay."

Someone hands Kyohei the script.

(This is the scene that was added later, so Kyohei hasn't read it before.)

Kyohei quickly reads through the scene, then he looks up.

Kyohei: "I'd like to have someone play opposite me."

Director: "The opposite role?"

Kyohei: "Yes. Ms. Otonashi, would you mind to stepping in?"

Kagari: "W-What?"

Kyohei: "You don't have to do anything but stand there."

Director: "Would you mind, Ms. Otonashi?"

Kagari: "Um... okay."

Director: "All right, action!"

At the director's signal as I turn to face at Kyohei. His beautiful eyes pierce right through me.

Kyohei: "..."

(Kyohei's standing right in front of me.)

(I didn't think I'd see him again like this.)

Kyohei: "I've come to get you."

Kyohei: "I was wrong. I can't chase my dream without you by my side."

Kyohei: "It's just impossible."

His hands hesitate slightly... before coming to rest gently on my shoulders.

Kyohei: "I can't handle living without you."

Kagari: "Mm!"

(Kyohei's hands. Hands that take whatever they want.)

(Hands that are warm. Hands that I love.)

I wanting to feel his warmth, I place my hands lightly on top of his. Kyohei responds by squeezing my shoulders.
