chapter 13

A week passed... Shiho is in her room staring at the ceiling. It's 8 am in the morning and she didn't get up from bed. Fujiko barged inside her room. She close her eyes and pretend she's sleeping.

"Hey Aurora a.k.a sleeping beauty. I know you're awake now so get up." She said.

"You may good at acting but you can't act in front of me." She added.

Shiho laughs. She sit down on bed.

"I'm bored." Shiho said.

"You can go out with your friends you know..."

"I don't like to go outside. I'm too lazy."

"I don't think so." Fujiko sit down on her bed and look at Shiho.

"You don't want to go outside because you can see them together." She teased.

"Them? Who? Higo and his desperate fiancee?" Shiho asked.

"I'm talking about Shinichi and Akeno."

Shiho laughs. Fujiko knows it's fake.

"They're really good together. If they become real well I'm happy for them specially for Shinichi. He deserves it." She smiled.

"I don't feel the sincerity in your eyes Shiho. I know you're unhappy." She straightforwardly said.

"I'm happy." She simply said.

She stand up from bed and smiled at Fujiko.

"I'm gonna take a bath and I'm going with Akako today. I want to go shopping. " She smiled.

'Poor Shi...' Fujiko thoughts.

Time Skipped...

Shiho, Akako and Momiji are in the mall. Saguru and Heiji are holding their shopping bags. They're walking in an art shop supplies.

"Are you going to paint again?" Akako asked Shiho.

"Yeah i want to." She said.

She gets the art materials she needed while her friends are wandering around.

After buying the art materials she needed she said goodbye to her friends and went straight in the abandon museum. She started to paint in an empty canvas. She really like that place and she's enjoying spending time there. After an hours of doing her art work she's done.

She painted Shinichi's side profile in an abstract style. She sit on the floor and gets a paper and a pen. She started to write.

Happy Birthday Shinichi ♡I really hope I'm the first one who greeted you a happy birthday!I have a birthday wish for you....I wish you find true happiness, you're a very kind person and I hope you won't change at all. You're the only first actor I worked with who is very respectful and kind and I know you will become a successful actor and I am truly proud of you.I'm so grateful that I met you...Honestly, you are the best thing that happen to me.Everytime I'm with you... I can't explain how happy I am.You're the only guy who made me feel i am a lady that deserves to be treated like one.I really like you Shinichi.

Shiho smiled. She put the letter in the back of the painting. She texted Shinichi to come and meet her at museum at 11:00 PM because she wanted to hang out with him. She didn't get a response but she's hoping he'll read her message. She will wait for him.

Shinichi is doing another movie. His team didn't announce it to the public yet because they wanted to surprise everyone. It's an action film and he's the lead. His team didn't allow him to use his phone to focus on his work according to his manager. He get close to his co actors and he's really having fun on set.

It's 3rd of May and it's 11 o clock in the cold evening, they're done filming and Akeno walk towards him and gives him a kiss on his cheek.

He looks at her.

"Hey babe." She enthusiastically said.

Shinichi smiled. He needs to act in everyone they're a real thing.

"Hey." Is the only word he said.

Akeno hold his hand.

"Can you with me and walk outside? I need a fresh air." Akeno smiled.

He hold her hand and smiled at her. He nods, and they started walking. Akeno is telling him a random story while his mind are thinking about Shiho. He regret not going in the museum that night. After talking to Jin last week, Shuichi asked him a favor not to talk nor meet her. Shuichi told him that Jin warned him about it. Jin didn't like anyone's getting closer to Shiho. And if they obeys Jin Shinichi will be famous according to Jin.

Shinichi's other hand turn into fist.

'She didn't deserved all the sh*tty things that's happening to her. She's a nice person and people always misunderstand her. Jin is a monster who takes advantage on women.' His thoughts.

Akeno stopped walking, she remove her hand from him and then she looks at him.

"Are you ok?" She asked.

He suddenly looks at her and shake his hand.

"I am." He smiled.

They resume walking...

"You missed Her right?" She asked.

"Huh?"

Akeno laughs.

"Don't act like you don't know who is she." She said smiling.

Shinichi smiled.

"Yeah. I missed her." He said.

"You can always buy another phone if your team didn't allowed you to use a phone. Just be careful."

Shinichi chuckled.

"Don't tell anyone but I don't like Uncle Jin." She said.

"Why?"

"I know you know what's between her and Uncle Jin right?"

"Ye-yeah."

"He's so selfish. He always scared and abused them, and even if the girls speak out no one will believe in them because of his power. He can manipulate the public because he owns alot of online gossips here." She said.

He just kept quiet.

"We're going to a bar to celebrate your birthday. It's your team surprise but not a surprise anyway."

They entered a bar and everyone there yelled HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHINICHI. Shinichi acts surprise and happy. A loud music started playing and everyone is smiling at him. The party started.

At the Same Time...

It's exactly 12 midnight.

"Happy birthday Shinichi." She smiled weakly.

She wanted to see him and hugged him. She missed him so much and he's not messaging her. Her phone rings and see a video is sent. She opened it and plays it;

▶️

"Shiho is a sl*t." The voice of the man she feel disgust with said.

"She's good in bed and I can say she's really a pro."

"That sl*t really enjoys when I put my d*ck inside her and she gets f*cked hard, she's crying and begging for more."

Shinichi's looks disappointed and sad that's how Shiho see it.

"Do you still like that dirty sl*t?" Asked Jin.

⏸

The video ended.

'So... he knows now. That make sense why he's not reaching out." Her thoughts.

Shiho stand up and get the painting she made. She went home now.

Fujiko see her holding the painting.

"Where have you been?" She asked.

Shiho sit down next to her and put the painting on the table.

"Wow you started to paint again? This look so good!" She complimented.

"Shinichi knew about me having S*x with that motherf*ck#r." Shiho coldly said.

"Did you tell him?"

"That @$$h*/! did."

Shiho let Fujiko watched the video. Shiho smiled.

"I'll just forget Shinichi. He didn't deserve a whore like me." She said.

She went upstairs and went to her room.
