Everyone in the room looks annoyed because they waited for Shiho but She didn't give a damn. Ran started putting her make up afterwards they started the photoshoot and takes a quick break.

Shiho is secretly looking at Akeno then looks at Shinichi.

"You both look good together." Shiho lower her voice.

Shinichi suddenly looks at her.

"About tha—"

Shiho went in the corner to get her phone. Shinichi sighed.

The photoshoot continued and afterwards Shiho immediately went out of the room.

'Is she avoiding me?' He asked himself.

At the Bar...

Shiho and her friends are hanging out in the VIP lounge. It's just the 5 of them. Her, Akako, Saguru, Heiji and Momiji.

"So you're not really a real thing?" Akako looks shocked.

Shiho smiled a little.

"You're really great at pretending.  I hate you!!!" Akako said.

The 4 of them enjoy the night and get drunk. Akako drive Shiho on the way to her house. Akako isn't drunk at all so she insist Driving for her. While on the road...

"I f*cking hate myself." Drunk Shiho said.

"Shhh..."

"I f*cking hate myself I wanna die."

Shiho started crying, Akako stopped driving and park her car in the corner. She looks at Shiho.

"What's the problem Shiho? I'm willing to listen." Akako calmly said.

But Shiho keeps crying. Akako just hugged her.

"You're not alone. I'm always here for you Shi... if you wanted to open up I'm willing to listen." She said.

She let go of Shiho and wipe her tears. Afterwards she continue driving until they reached Shiho's mansion. Fujiko opened the door and See them.

"You're drunk again Shi... thanks for bringing her home" Fujiko said.

She takes Shiho from Akako and she's supporting her to walk upstairs. Akako left Shiho's mansion. Fujiko lay Shiho down her bed and left her alone. She opened her eyes and gets her phone, she dial her Mom's number. It takes 17 missed calls before Sharon can finally answer.

"Are you drunk again? Didn't I told you to never contact me? What if someone else got my phone and answer it just to hear your sh*t" said Sharon.

"Mom..." she said.

"I'm sorry that I'm a failure and I exist when I shouldn't have. I'm so sorry..." she sobs.

"I-im sorry..." she apologized again.

Sharon ended the call.

The Next Day...

Shiho wakes up and see her phone on the bed. She gets it and see her phone activity.

'I'm so stupid. I call Sharon!' Her thoughts.

She gets up from bed and take a bath. Afterwards she went downstairs to go in the dining area and see Fujiko is smiling at her.

"I have a good news." She said.

Shiho sit down on the chair and  looks at her.

"About what?"

"Your man." Fujiko said.

Shiho looks clueless. Fujiko laughs.

"C'mon! I know you like Shinichi." She teased.

Shiho roll her eyes.

"What's the good news?" Shiho asked while making her coffee.

"Well I just heard that Akeno and Him aren't really dating. It's just PR." She smiled widely.

Shiho trying to look calm and cool but deep inside she's really happy hearing that.

"Is that so? I thought they're real. they look so good together." Said Shiho and then she sips her coffee.

"Liar." Fujiko laughs.

Shiho smiled.

"You know I think Shinichi likes you too."

"Really? I think he's just really kind and that's how he treats other women just like how he treated me. He's a real gentleman."

"Besides if I told him the truth and he finds out about my secret he will eventually feel gross about me. I mean... who wants to date a woman who sleep with a married man?" Shiho added.

Fujiko sighed.

"Don't be negative. Jin is a terrible man who treat ladies like his own toy and he takes advantage on girls just because of his position on this industry.... and one more thing, if Shinichi truly likes you he will accept it. He will accept you. If he didn't then he lost the most amazing woman in the Japan." Fujiko gives her a genuine smiled.

Shiho stand up and walk towards her to hug her.

"Hey honey don't cry ok? I mean it. You're amazing."

After chatting with Fujiko Shiho texted Shinichi.

'I'll wait you in our comfort place later. :)'

Meanwhile...

Shinichi did a photoshoot and was about to go home when he received a text from Shiho.

'I'll wait you in our comfort place later. :)'

He instantly smiled. He replied saying;

'I'll see you ^^'

He gets his things then Jin assistant calls him. He looks at Jin's assistant.

"Are you free? Mr Kurosawa wanted to invite you in his office." Said the assistant .

Shinichi nods and he use the elevator and went straight to Jin's office. He knocked on the door and he heard Jin's voice saying he can come inside. He went inside the office and close the door behind him.

Jin is sitting on his chair smoking a cigarette. He's staring at Shinichi.

"Have a seat." He said.

He obeyed Jin and sit across him.

"How's you and Akeno?" He asked.

Shinichi looks at Jin.

"We're friends."

"She's beautiful why not asked her to go out with you for real?"

Shinichi didn't know what to say.

"Akeno is my Niece and she's a good lady. She's a well raised child." Jin said.

"I agree that she's beautiful and a good lady but I'm Sorry boss I can't asked her to go out for real because... I actually like someone else." He honestly said.

Jin laughs and get his phone. Shinichi is feeling uncomfortable right now.

"Tell me who do you like?" Jin asked while he's busy with his phone.

"Don't be afraid. As If I'm going to kill you If you tell me that it's..." but before Jin can finished his words

"Shiho." Shinichi cut him.

He looks at Shinichi with an upset look visible in his eyes.

"So you like that Sl*t huh?!" Jin laughs.

Shinichi look confused.

"Excuse me?" Shinichi said.

"Shiho is a sl*t." Jin said.

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

"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." Jin added.

Shinichi's hand turn into fist. He wanted to break Jin's face, but he knows he's powerful and wealthy.

Jin watched Shinichi's reaction when he said something about Shiho. He looks disappointed, sad, mad, and hurt.

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

Coinciding in Time...

Shiho is in the abandon museum waiting for Shinichi. She gets her phone and dials Fujiko's number.

"I'm actually nervous Fujiko." She said.

"You can do it!"

"I hope so."

"C'mon! I believe in you!" Fujiko cheer her up.

"I really really like him, what if he doesn't like me back?"

"I can feel he's into you. Shiho you're not just pretty but you're awesome ok? So don't be negative." Fujiko said.

"Anyway I'm going to sleep now because tomorrow morning I'll be busy... goodluck sweety."

"Thanks Fuji." Shiho said and ended the call.

Shiho waited for Him but 3 hours passed and he's still not there. She received a text from Shinichi.

'Hey, sorry. I go out tonight with Akeno and that means I can't come and meet you tonight at the museum. I'm so sorry Shiho.'

Shiho smiled weakly and replied to him saying;

'Hey. It's alright. I just woke up anyway and I forgot about our meeting tonight. Haha anyway have fun in your date :)'
