FLASHBACK

Early January 2012

It was during one of the big performance at the KABUKI PALACE,all the well known actors and actresses from the field were there to watch.

Rina was there sitting on the bench in the garden thinking about the deal she made with her boss.She has no interest to go inside and watch the performance because her mind is literally in a big mess and nothing sounds good right now.

Rina : (smacks her head) I shoudnt agreed to that!!!Stupid Rina,why the heck did you agreed to that.

Nana : What are you babbling about Rina-chan?

Rina : I am dead meat Nana-san,dead meat

.

Nana offered her a can of coffee and sat beside her,

Nana : Now,what mess are you in now?

Rina : (sigh) I should just dig my own grave now.really

Nana : Chill baby chill,whats wrong.

Rina turned to Nana with a very worried face.

Nana : Fire away?

Rina : It’s like this,it was during last week…And..

Nana : And?You saw a ghost or something around here!?

Rina : You know,how he doubted me about being his personal assistant?

Nana : Well,not really.He looks fine with you..why?

Rina : I told him,I’ll show him that I can be comfortable as his personal assistant and I can do anything to prove it.

Nana : And??

Rina : And I told him I’ll show him that I am the perfect one for the job,and he gave me one week to prove that I can last for more than 2 or 3 months as his assistant.And…

Nana : AND?

Rina : The deal was,yes I can try for another week and the rule is …

Nana : ??

Rina : I must not fall in love with him,and if I did…I would have been fired right away.

Rina : Don’t joke around Nana-san.

Nana : I am not playing around.But who knows right?

Few days later…

BASKETBALL GYM

Shinn was so into throwing his basketball ball into the loops and Rina stood beside the court,watching and waiting for Shinn to finally finish his practice.She was not paying attention to Shinn,but rather she was really worried if Shinn is ever gonna discuss about the deal they agreed last week.

Rina : I am so dead(whispering to herself)

Shinn : Why do you look so worried Akizuki Rina-san?

Rina : (startled) Wait,what?Worried?No I am fine,I am perfectly fine.Why would I be worried haha hahahaha..

Shinn : (grinning)

Shinn threw the last ball and it went into the loop ,then he quickly walked towards Rina.

Rina : (worried) Im so dead..

Shinn : You don’t look okay.

Rina : I am fine,why wouldn’t I look fine.

Shinn : (staring at rina)

Rina : ???

Shinn leaned closer to Rina and look straight into her eyes.

Shinn : You are worried about something right?

Rina: Something?What..thing?

Shinn : (laughing)

Shinn quicky took the small towel on Rina’s hand and walked away

Rina : I think he has forgotten..thank god..

Shinn : I haven’t forgetten about the deal we made alright Akizuki-san.We’ll see about that after I shower (went out of the  gym)

Rina : (facepalm) Damn it…
