The film was successful and it becomes a blockbuster hit in the first week. They earned 100 billion yen and they got good reviews from the critics. Stick With Me film is Japan's romance/action genre that was talked about.

Shinichi got an email and he can't believe it. It says that one of the most famous agencies in Hollywood wants to invite him and make an offer exclusive for him. They are interested and want him to become more successful and they saw his talent that is needed in Hollywood. Shinichi feeling overwhelmed because of the success and attention he gets. He never thought he would come this far. He was just a simple boy who wanted to follow in his Mother's footsteps and now he's finally achieving it.

He feels like he got everything. The attention, the fame, the money, and also he got Shiho. He never thought he would end up dating her and become his Fiancee. He still can't believe dreams do come true. He was just watching her movies and buying her magazines and now he's actually gonna marry her!?

Shiho and Shinichi are chilling in her living room.

"Babe I think it's a good opportunity." Shiho said.

Shinichi looks at her.

"Why don't you try it?" She asked curiously.

"Do you think I'll gonna make it?"

"Of course you can! They are impressed with your talent and they emailed you! That means they're really impressed with you." She said happily.

Shinichi smiled.

"So you think I should grab it?" His eyes are staring directly into hers.

Shiho nods.

"There's nothing to be afraid of."

"But what if I got rejected?"

"Then it's alright you're doing better here anyway."

Shinichi pulls her close to him.

"Did you know how happy I am that I got a beautiful and supportive Fiancee?" He kissed her forehead.

She rests her head on his shoulder.

The Next Day...

Shinichi replied to the agency that emailed him. They talk over the phone and planned to meet as soon as possible. 3 days passed Shinichi went to the USA to meet Hollywood's famous agency recruiter.

"I'm glad to finally meet you, Mr. Kudo!" The woman with blonde short hair said.

"I'm Mrs. Gina Davis!" The woman smiled.

"Nice to meet you as well Mrs. Davis." Shinichi smiled, he takes her hand and shakes it.

"Please have a seat..." Gina said.

They sit down across from each other, they're currently at the office.

"So I have a really good offer for you Mr Kudo. If you sign our contract, I can assure you that you'll gain more fans here and become the next biggest star that you are born to be!" Gina smiled.

"Look at these walls where you can see the biggest movie stars that I helped to become successful. And you can look at this empty frame where you can imagine yourself lining up with these stars."

Shinichi's staring where every famous celebrity in Hollywood was posted in a big picture frame.

"Wow! I mean this is awesome." He said and looks at Gina.

"You just need to sign here..." Gina show the contract.

"And let me take care of the rest." She smiled.

"Before I decide can I call someone? I wanted to hear her thoughts."

"Oh! You have a girlfriend?"

"Yeah. Actually Fiancee." he smiled proudly.

"I see why it's important to hear her thoughts. Yeah please take your take Mr Kudo." Gina smiled.

Shinichi exists the room and dials Shiho's number.

"Hey Babe." He said.

"How's the meeting?" She excitedly asked.

"Oh well, it's good. Actually, Mrs. Davis wanted me to sign the contract."

"SIGN IT!"

"You want me to sign it?"

"Of course!"

"It's a 1 year and a half contract babe."

"It's ok. I can still visit you there. You want this dream and now you need to grab the opportunity!"

"Uhhh I don't know if I still want it. I just want to be with you all the time."

Shiho giggled.

"Babe I know nut we can work this out alright? Now go back and sign the contract. I can't wait to see my Hollywood movie star Fiance rock Hollywood." She said confidently.

After the conversation, Shinichi went back to the room and announced he's signing the contract. Days have passed Shinichi is filming a movie with the Hollywood's it girl Ashley Davis. She's the daughter of Gina and She introduce Shinichi to her Daughter.

Shinichi isn't playing the main character but his role has a big impact on the film. He may be playing the supporting character, but Gina knows he will gain popularity because he's very talented in acting.

Working in Hollywood is way different than working in his country. They're working overnight and he admired the cast and crew for being hardworking and giving their 100% on the production. He gets close to Ashley because she knows how to speak Japanese because she told Shinichi she likes the Japanese culture and she would love to date a Japanese.

Shinichi becomes busier every day but he still manages to send messages for Shiho although he didn't have much time to video call her. She totally understands that and she told him she will visit soon.

3 months passed the film ended, Shinichi is very happy and he's excited to go back to Japan when Gina announced he will have another film but this time he got the main role even he didn't audition for the role she manages to take it for him. He's unsure to take it or drop it because he missed Shiho but this opportunity is once in a lifetime.

He calls Shiho and talks about the project he'll be making and She told him it's awesome and supports it. Even though she missed him badly she wanted him to explore the industry. Not everyone is lucky enough to have got the main role in Hollywood and besides, she'll be coming there to visit him.

Shinichi started to film his Hollywood lead role, his leading lady will be the Hollywood It girl because people on the internet went crazy when they saw Shinichi and Ashley talking off cam all the time. A popular demand according to Gina.

2 weeks went by, Shiho visited Shinichi at the set. They are in his dressing room.

"I didn't expect you're visiting here today." He smiled and walk towards her to give her a warm hugged.

"I missed you so much." She hugged him tightly.

Shinichi let her go and kiss her deeply. His hands are on her cheeks. After the kiss, they pull out.

"I missed you so much too! Damn, I wanna kiss you, touch you and taste you right now..." his eyes are wandering her body.

She put her arms around his and staring seductively at him.

"We can do it here." She smiled.

"No babe. We'll do it in my hotel room alright?" He smirked.

He gets his key from his pocket and gives it to Shiho.

"Get ready for tonight!" He smiled.

"I am ready."

They started filming and Shiho went to his Hotel room so she can have her rest. After working for 18 hours straight Shinichi is ready to go but...

"You're coming with us!" Ashley said.

"Huh?"

"You needed to party with us and the crew cmon! Don't be a killjoy!"

"Well I'd love to go but someone's waiting on m—"

Ashley and the crew members pushed Shinichi to ride in the car and they have successfully done it. They headed to a bar exclusive for the rich and famous person. Shinichi texted Shiho saying just wait for him because the casts and crew members dragged him to a party.

Shinichi wander around and went to get a drink when he bumped into Sharon Vineyard.

"Sorry." He said.

"Oh, it's alright." Sharon smiled.

She looks side by side looking for someone. She then looks at Shinichi.

"Are you with Shiho?" She suddenly asked.

He shakes his head.

"Oh, I see..."

"Excuse m—"

"Can we talk somewhere private?"

Shinichi looks at her.

They went to the rooftop to talk.

"I'm glad to see you working here in Hollywood. You deserve more than what you get in Japan."

"Shiho is the one who wants me to pursue a career here."

"She did?"

"Yeah."

Sharon laughs.

"Well paying for like 5 Million dollars for your contract to end is a lot of money now I understand why you're working hard to pay that big amount of money."

"Excuse me?" He looks confused.

"Oh! You didn't know?"

"Know what?"

"Shiho actually meet Jin to pay for your contract so you can finally free."

Shinichi feels angry.

"Don't say sh*t"

"I'm not lying and if you want the truth then ask your girl."

Sharon left the rooftop smiling. He was left feeling upset about the information she just told.

'Did she pay for my contract? Why didn't she told anything?' His thoughts.

He went back to the party scene and get drunk.
