Your POV

I dreamed of wanting to have a charming prince as my boyfriend. To fall in love as we encounter each other, meeting each others' eyes. I wanted to be the one receiving a confession and then with a happy teary eyes, I would say "Yes.".  I wanted to get married, to have child and to grow old together with my prince charming. I thought that was all there's to it.

But it wasn't.

"Sho-kun, Close your eyes for a bit."

"Nee, (nickname)-chan. Do you know what you are doing?"

I set the brush down and grabbed the setting spray and sprayed it on his face. Once I was satisfied on my work, I turned him onto the mirror and smiled.

"There you go!"

Sho-kun opened his eyes and stared at himself on the mirror. "Ohh.. you really have talent for this, (nickname)-chan!"

I hummed in agreement, "Of course, I am."

"I mean, you don't look to be knowing anything about makeup. You dressed like a boy and doesn't really care about your—"

"Want to get punched?" I held my fist in front of him and he laughed. He continued looking at himself on the mirror.

"But you really are good, (nickname)-chan."

I smiled a bit while I arranged my things, "Yeah, yeah. Thank you."

"You're so not cute!"

"I don't want to be called that by you~" I laughed.

The makeup room was enveloped by the silence. Only my footsteps and his humming voice are occupying the growing quietness between us.

I knew Sho-kun as a child. We went on the same elementary and high school but went on our own ways once we got into college. I regret so many things while being away from him such as never confessing to him while I'm one-step away from him. The day of the graduation ceremony back in high school, I heard him talking to his friends and underclassmen who congratulated him. He was a popular man. Everyone liked him. He had a few girlfriends back then. When he was asked about what he felt about me, I knew that I don't want to hear anything from him but I also knew I couldn't helped on knowing it.

"(Nickname)-chan? Well.. it never crossed my mind to look at her in that way. Besides, we've been friends for as long as I know. I just— I don't want to ruin what I currently have on her."

It did hurt. My mind went blanked and I only remembered crying while running home feeling as if my heart got stabbed and punched continuously. The next thing I knew— he already left for Tokyo.

That's why I promised to myself that if I ever crossed-paths with him again, I would never, NEVER let that chance run away from me again. I would confessed. It just never crossed my mind that I would be meeting him again on the same company him being a singer and voice actor and I as his makeup artist and to actually be in a relationship with him.

I placed the bag on the floor when the staff called him. "Aoi-san, you're next!"

"Ah, yes!" Sho-kun immediately stood up but stopped in front of me and held my hand.

"Sho-kun?"

He closed the distance between the two of us and kissed my cheek. The kiss lasted for a few seconds before he pulled away and smiled. My cheeks flushed and he smirked at my state.

"Ok. I'm already in full-charged!"

"Ittekimasu!" He ran while saying that.

I went to the studio to look at him. I am still mesmerized on how different he was on and off-work. It's like there's two Aoi Shouta. One who is serious on things he do and one who is cute, innocent but cheeky only for me.. but I couldn't helped to sometimes be insecure to him and his work. I'm proud of him for being diligent on things he do but sometimes I found myself comparing myself to him. Models didn't exactly help either. The current model he works with is very popular and beautiful voice actress and singer. He worked with her a few times already and they've totally gotten closer. I could also see she was totally onto him.
