Who Wins My Heart
Chapter 10
"The Ham Commercial"
The next day Kei went to the agency to talk to Eiji about his true identity. He realize that it will be a big problem if people think that he is not good for pretending as someone else and ones he will debut it will cause a big ruckus in Japan. He knock on the door of the office and the door opened, he saw Eiji sitting on his chair and a familiar woman wearing a shade and a big hat on his head.
"M...mom?" Kei called but he immediately covers his mouth. Eiji smiled as a respond and then he stand up.
"I know everything already Hyeon Jae-hwa." Eiji started to talk. Kasumi stand up and take off her shade, she run through Kei's direction and then hugs him tightly in her arms.
"Jae-hwa, pogoshipoyo (i miss you)." she cried. "No one is greeting me back ones i am home. Papa and Chin-ho are very busy to their work. I am in vacation right now so I don't have something to do in Korea."
"Wait mom... Did you tell Kawashima-san about me?"
"Aniyo(No)... I went here to meet you and then he saw me and then we talk to each other."
"Kawashima-san, yo...you know who I am? Si...since the beginning?" Kawashima nodded his head.
"Of course, a suspicious bio data needs investigation right?"
Kei didn't answer for seconds, he is thinking about what he should do. Is this really alright? Is it really alright for him to be known by his identity? Will it not affect his effort all this time? If people will know what will be their thoughts about it? Kasumi noticed that her son is bother again like always when talking about family name. She look at Eiji and excuse themselves for a moment. They went to the cafeteria of the agency and order some cakes.
"Jae-hwa, everything's gonna be fine. Even people in Japan know who you really are, they will treat you equal and just focus on how effort you have done. There are lots of artist who became famous because of their family but... More than that they also insert effort in everything that they do. The most important thing for an artist is to do their best for the fans. In simple world, fans are you survival. If you get their heart make sure not to betray it or else they will ruined you. What if you are Hyeon Jae-hwa? You insert your effort and you know you are not doing anything bad. As for other matters, i already talk to Kawashima-san about it and it's fine." Kasumi explained to him.
"Mom, it is really not an easy thing right? To be famous on your own but... It is really exciting."
Kasumi smiled as he ruffles his son's hair "I know, i experience the same thing you know." she answered and then she stop to observe his son. Kei is wearing glasses and his hair are straight. "You look kawaii... You really look like a girl, Kei-chan."
"Mom, stop that."
The two continue eating their chocolate cakes when they heard some females talking about something. They look like they have problem on something.
"What should we do? The girl that we needed in that commercial called and she said that she caught a cold. We need to find another girl to do that."
"but we don't have enough time. We already need someone. Ahmm why don't you just look for a boy who really really looks a girl maybe we can transform him into someone else. Besides we can't easily search for a girl here. This is a boy's agency."
Kasumi stand up and then smiled at Kei.
"Mom, where are you going?" Kei asked innocently.
...
"Nane sore?" Kei asked as he is inside the make up room and girl's are busy putting make up on his face.
"You are a contestant of game of fate right? No. 15 Kei Inoo?" a girl asked the one who is putting eye liner on his eyes. "Well, we really need someone to do this so please participate. This is a 1 minute commercial. The setting is ancient aristocrat with princes and princesses. The story revolves around 2 friends who are both boys and then their friend a girl. The two fall in love with the girl and that cause a fight between the two but the girl give them their favorite food and that make them reconcile from each other."
"That's a great story... Then who will be my son's partner?" Kasumi asked.
...
"Why is this taking so long?" Yuto asked as he feel lean his back on the seat that he is sitting down.
"I don't know as well... They said that the girl can't go and so they get someone who can do it." Kota answered Yuto while he is reading a book. While waiting, Yuto noticed that the girls responsible for the heroine came back from the set and then next to them is the girl they will be working with together.
"This dress is too long." Kei complained as he pulled the dress to make him walk easier.
"Eh? Is that... Kei-chan?" Yuto asked as he stands up from where he is sitting down. Kota look immediately when he heard Kei's name from his friend. He look at the guy, which is now a girl as he approach near them. "It's really Kei-chan, he...he looks beautiful." he commented and then he approach him. "Kei-chan." he called.
"Na...Nakajima?" Kei asked. "Ma...matte... You are ... You are the guy and then second guy is...." he continued while scrambling his words together.
Kota stand up from where he is sitting down and it is obvious on Kei's face that he is surprised.
"A...are you kidding me?" Kei thought to himself.
He doesn't want to do it but he is force to and then now he need to work with Yuto and Kota. It's alright with Yuto since they are close but Kota? For all the people and then seeing him like that? He wonders what is that guy thinking about him.
The taping for the scenes is about to start and the main cast are called in front. The first scene is Yuto who is eating their favourite food which is a ham... Yeah they are endorsing a very expensive brand of ham.
"I look weird right?" Kei asked Kota who is standing besides him.
"Not really..."
"Liar... I know deep inside of your mind you are laughing at me." he replied back. "This is mom's fault. Everyone will going to laugh at me."
"So, that is your mom over there? The one talking to those make up artists?" Kota asked. He is looking at that direction for a while and he is wondering who is that woman that is hanging around with those make up artist and now his question is answered. "Don't worry... I will not make people laugh at you." he said seriously and then he grab Kei's hand. Their scene is about to start.
"Huh?" Kei asked in surprised. He is not expecting those words coming from Kota itself. He feels like the world freeze and even his heart freeze but the sound of it beating is getting louder and louder. Kota is so nice to him even there are times that he is saying nonsense thing but even though, deep inside those words is a comfort he wanted to feel every time he is down.
"I don't... I don't want to fall in love." he thought to himself and then he step on his long Victorian dress and almost fall down but fortunately Kota grab him around his waist so that he will not fall but Kei immediately move and so Kota loss his balance and both of them fall down in the floor.
"Kei-chan." Kasumi called when they heard that fall. Everyone look at their place and saw the two laying down, Kota is above Kei. "A...are you alright?"
"Inoo, are you alright?" Kota asked him.
Kei noticed that Kota is so near him and that just makes thing worse. He immediately push Kota away from him and then he let Kota stand up. The make up artist immediately approach Kei to fix his make up and everything. Other of the make up artist fix Kota's clothes and his hair.
"Inoo-san looks good... And Yabu-sama is so stunning. It's nice to be young ne?" one of the make up artist commented while they are watching the cuts.
"Don't you think they look good together? If only Inoo-san is a real girl ne?"
"Well, I really thought that Kei-chan will be a girl when he is still a baby. I like dressing him in girl's clothes coz he is too cute. His hands are beautiful and his skin is smooth and he has white complexion. His body is not muscular either." Kasumi added smiling while she is telling things about his son.
...
The shot is already done and it's a job well done. After the 3 boys fix themselves and wear their casual clothes Kasumi invited the 3 for a dinner since it is already late. Kasumi, introduced to herself as Kei's mother but she use her Korean name coz she know that Kei doesn't want her to introduced herself as an artist. They talk a lot of things about what happened to Kei, the things he do. They really enjoy talking to each other.
"I'm going to the comfort room." Kei said and then Kota excuse himself as well. Both of them went to the comfort room to wash their hands.
"Your mom is nice." Kota said.
"Yeah... And i am surprised that she is here."
"Why? Are you living far?" Kota asked Kei.
"Eh? Not really." Kei answered back. "Are you done? I will go back already."
"Wait." Kota uttered. "How long will you be Hikaru's slave? Is he pressuring you or something? If you have a problem with him just tell me. We are close friend i can talk to him about it."
"No... Its fine. I just don't get his attitude but maybe i can still handle it besides that deal is just between the two of us. No third party allowed."
Kota is been silent for seconds but then he smiled. He watch Kei as he fix himself and clean the eyeglasses that he is wearing. When Kei is about to leave he call him back and said "Inoo... Good job for today."
