19. In a Slump

*Chatter*

(People all around were busy preparing for the shoot.)
(It looks like everything is almost ready.)

Director: Ren isn't here yet?

Manager: ....well...

(He said he'd be here by now....)
(Tatsuya has never been late, but today he's late and he's not calling either.)

Director: This is not good. It's almost time.
Man....there's been bad rumors about him, but he's been so dedicated that I continued to use him but if he's late like this then...

Manager: I'm so sorry. I'll try to contact him again.

(After listening to the director mutter complaints, I left and called Ren.)

*Ring....ring...*
*I am not able to take your call, please leave a message...*

(He's still not answering.)

Director: Ren is still not here?!!!
It's time and he's still not here!!! Find me another model!!!

Manager: Uh, Director...sir...

Director: Forget it!!! I have no intentions of working with your company anymore so don't even think about it!!!

(He's totally upset....)

Manager: Maybe I should go check his room.......

(I finally arrived at his room.)

Manager: Oh my...what a complete mess.

(His room was so unlike Ren, it was a total mess.)
(There were empty alcohol bottles everywhere and the room had a thick stench of alcohol.)

Manager: There are one, two, three, four....how many are there?
And where in the world is Ren?

Ren: ................

(I turned and saw him crouched over in a corner)

Manager: Ren?

Ren: ...........what are you doing here?

Manager: You didn't come to today's shoot....what happened?

Ren: Today...?
Oh, the shoot....

(Suddenly he got up and started walking towards the door.)

Manager: Hey, where are you going?!!!

Ren: ......I need to go to the shoot.

Manager: Like that?

Ren: What's wrong with....the way I look......

*Plop*

(Ren suddenly fell down.)

Manager: Ren!!!

(I got up close to him....)

Ren: Hmmm....

Manager: .....are you sleeping?
If you're drunk...you should just sleep.
He fell into a deep sleep in no time.
Now that I think about it....this is the first time I've seen Ren so defenseless.)

This is my chance. Get a picture and threaten him with it. (Nothing)

Ren: ............

(He's so defenseless. this is my opportunity.)

Manager: Right! I'm going to take this opportunity to blackmail him.

(If I take a picture of him like this, it's too plain.....I need something embarrassing.....)

Ren: Mmmm....

(.........)
(I'll take his clothes off. RIght, that's what I'll do. I'll take a nude picture and then I'll blackmail him!!)

Manager: I'll take a down right embarrassing picture of him that he won't be able to ignore.

(Happily I put my hands on him so I could take off his clothes.)

Ren: ............

Manager: Aaaack.....!!!

(All of a sudden Ren woke up and looked right into my eyes.)

You snooze you lose! Draw on his face.

Looking at him sleep gives me a strange feeling... (Love Points: +4)

Manager: Good looking people look like they are modeling even in their sleep.
..........

(My heart started to beat a little faster as I watched Ren sleep.)

His lips are perfect too....

(My hands started to reach towards his face.)
(And I got closer to those lips....)

*Thump thump*

(As I got closer to Ren's lips.....)

Ren: ............

(Suddenly Ren opened his eyes and we were staring at each other face to face.)

Manager: Oh, are you....up?
I mean....uh...what I was trying to do was....

Ren: ...........

Manager: So, this is.....this is.....

(I tried to make an excuse, but I don't think he'll believe me.)

*Whoosh*

(Ren suddenly pulled me close to him.)

Manager: Whoa.....?!

(After I realized what he just did.....)

Manager: He's....he's....is he going to....?!

Ren: ..............

*Thump thump*

(My heart was thumping so hard I could hear it.)

Manager: So, so what I was trying to do was....
Ren, wait!!!! Don't! We are still too young!!!
I mean...I'm still a minor!!! So....

Ren: ..............

(Ren rested his head on my chest.)

Manager: Eeeeeek!!!!
Eeeeeek!!!!

*Hush...hush*

Manager: ...........hush hush?

Ren: ..............

(Sleeping....)

Manager: What...? I got nervous for nothing.

(I was going to push Ren aside and get up.)

Ren: .....mom....

Manager: ..............
Is he...dreaming?

Ren: Mom...mom......
Mom.......

Manager: ..............

(I got back to my senses, stood up, and covered Ren with a blanket.)

Manager: I won't do anything to you today.
Sleep tight, Ren.

*Click*

(After tightly shutting the door, I tip toed to the office.)
