How to be a Star「Yowane Haku's Story」

Bottle 10✱ Waltzes and Façade

| Kasane Konstruction|

With Ritsu's help, the girls were almost done in acquiring the materials needed for the event. As Akiko was putting down the last plank at the back of the truck, they heard Tei from inside the metal gate whining about Kaito, arguing with someone else.

"Ee... My Kaito-kun! Bring him down! I don't want to be separated by him. This is my chance to love him!"

"Enough of this, please." Haku said while she was carrying Kaito on her shoulder, walking out of the shop from the metal gate. "If you want to be with Kaito, you can visit him at his store."

Haku then placed Kaito at the back of the truck along with the poles and other wood supplies, still unconscious and with a messy hair and face.

Tei attempted to steal him back but Ted halted her.

"You can't be with Kaito for a while I guess." he said, holding Tei's arms. "They're planning an event so don't steal Kaito from them, for now."

"Okay. But I will make a way to see you again my Kaito-kun." Tei sadly mumbled, returning back inside the shop.

Gumi approached Haku and when she noticed something on her face: dried tears on her cheeks.

"Are you alright Miss Haku?" Gumi asked, Haku was seated inside the backseat of the truck near the window.

"Yeah." she replied.

"May I know what happened to you? Did you cry?"

"Haku just got caught dirt on her eyes back there." Ted immediately explained to Gumi, approaching the two. "My workers are to blame about it. My apologies. They don't clean the shop regularly that's why it happened. I'm sorry about—"

"You don't have to apologize Sir Ted." Akiko quickly said, looking at him. "Having a large shop at this magnificent city is truly hard to keep up all the activities. Maybe, a spare time to clean the entire shop is a chance."

"There is no need to apologize about it Sir Ted. Your employees indeed should clean sometimes." Haku added as she was going in the front seat of the truck. "Just a quick rinse into this and the dirt in my eyes will be removed."

"Well then Haku," he said, looking to her. "I hope you can have a rest after this."

After Akiko went in the truck and gone to return at Kaito's store. Ted was watching them departing and when the truck was nowhere in sight, he went inside the store.

|Cul's Apartments|

Cul was at the balcony of her house, observing the delivered items. The materials ordered for the renovations were already unloaded and the last thing the landlady was waiting to be handed to her was the receipt. Ruko approached Cul, giving the paper and a ballpen.

"Please sign here." Ruko requested, pointing the box where to put her signature.

Cul briefly looked at the receipt, picked the pen by her right hand and signed it.

Afterwards, she returned the ball pen and the receipt to him. Ruko then carefully ripped the pink paper behind the white paper that was originally signed by the landlady.

"Thank you!" Ruko said, giving the duplicate copy of the receipt.

"Same." Cul replied, Ruko was walking away from her, heading for his truck.

As the delivery truck left the area, she kept the receipt at her left pocket without even making a second glance at it. She was about to let go of her hand at the receipt when a thought suddenly ran on Cul's mind.
