Otori Ryoka: Oh, aren't you Ryouta and Lino. You have some business here?
Ryouta: Hi! What are you doing here?
Otori Ryoka: Oh, I have an appointment. Have someone I need to see.
Ryouta: He must be powerful or attractive to make you come all this way.
Otori Ryoka: Hee hee. It's my hubby. Don't know what's got into his head. He wants to have a date with me.
Ryouta: Wow! How nice!
Otori Ryoka: I don't like him asking me to come to his work though.
Ryouta: Ah....
Otori Ryoka: So how are you two? You guys are..., dating?
Ryouta: Dating? NO! We are not really DATING, dating!!!
Otori Ryoka: If you're not really dating, dating, how come your face is so red? Come to Haven sometime. We have a new dish. You can come for a date.
Ryouta: We are not really dating... yet...
(While Ryouta was embarassed, the owner of Haven disappeared into the station.
Ryouta: And she is gone... After saying whatever she wants to say, without listening... Even hearing about Haven makes me hungry. Lino, let's go to Haven to check out the new dish. It'll be my treat.
*After a while*
(There is a big 'Closed' sign in front of the locked door at Haven.)
Ryouta: ........................CLOSED!!!!! How come she didn't tell me it's closed today!!!
Lino: Today is not even a regular day off...
Ryouta: Exactly, my point!!! I can't believe we came all this way for nothing. Hope she wasn't plotting this... Just to make us SUFFER...
(.....Though, the owner is capable of such a thing...)
Ryouta: What should we do now? I was planning to have dinner with you here and then head home. Would you like to go somewhere else?
Punk: Hey, you! Long time no see! It's Touya, right?
Ryouta: ....I recognize this voice...
(A young man approaches Ryouta with a crooked smile on his face.)
Punk: I didn't expect to see you here. I was actually on my way to your office to see you.
Ryouta: Why are you here? Why do you want to see me?
Punk: Hey, be nice. You're not in a position to yell at me. Still not very smart, eh?
Ryouta: And you are not exactly int he position to tell me what to do!
(Ryouta looked tough, not like his usual self.)
Punk: So... You are doing pretty well this days? I even saw you on TV the other day. What a surprise? In show biz, integrity is very important and usually a bad scandal can ruins an actor's integrity, right?
Ryouta: What are you talking about?
Punk: If I decide to blow the whistle on you, it will be the end of your career as an actor.
Ryouta: ...........Lino, could you leave us alone. It won't take long.
Punk: Who's this girl? Your girlfriend?
Ryouta: No, she is not. Lino, please go.
(That mean-looking man is probably trying to blackmail Ryouta. Ryouta looks serious.)
Lino: Hmm... *Leave for now*
(This is Ryouta's business. He wants to hide something... It might be a good idea to leave.)
Lino: OK. I'll go. Instead, you come back and tell me about everything.
Ryouta: Thanks, it won't take long.
*A while after*
(At the office...)
*Click*
(I sat in the dark living room for hours. And finally I heard the door opening. Ryouta came in quietly, while looking around.)
Lino: You're late.
Ryouta: Geez, you scared me to death. How come youre not in bed yet? Were you waiting for me? I'm sorry. I didn't know you were waiting for me. The talk took a little longer than I expected.
Lino: What talk?
Ryouta: .....Er....It was about...Nothing important...And not very interesting either. Er....Lino...
Lino: ?
Ryouta: In the past I was very wild and immature and used to pick fights with... Anyone who crossed me. Actually, it's not even that long ago... My life before here was a big mess...
(Ryouta looking fierce.)
Ryouta: It won't do any good if the media finds out about my past, yeah?
Lino: I can't imagine you being all wild and rebellious.
Ryouta: But that's how I was... Immature and rebellious. That guy, you just met... I used to hang out with him during those days. One day we got into a fight and grew apart.
*Grumble*
Ryouta: It's my stomach... I'm starving.
*Grrrrrrowwwl*
(........................Come to think of it, it all happened when we were supposed to eat dinner at Haven.)
Ryouta: You didn't have dinner either? Because of me?
Lino: ...Let's eat something first.
Ryouta: Hey, what about I make some ramen? It'll be the best you've ever had!!!
(Well... We do make money to eat... That fierce look on his face quickly change into a smile as he rambled on about ramen.)
