"Mommy, I have plenty of these. What should I do?" You glance at the small hands of Mizuki full of pink small chocolates. She won a prize which was sweets and a little stuffed toy. You kneel to level her height as you fixed her dress.
"You can share it with your friends but you're only allowed to eat once a day. Do you understand mommy?" This made Mizuki saddened. She has a sweet tooth which bothers you sometimes. She likes to eat too.
"Okay, Mommy." She pouted and showed her pinky finger. "If I don't promise Mommy will be upset and I don't want that. I want Mommy's love and cuddles."
You smiled and kissed her chubby cheek after encircling your pinky finger to her. She giggle and went back to playing. You look at Senju when she heavily sighs.
"Traitor."
You curiously look at her because of her frowning brows. "Something wrong, Senju?"
She shook her head and turn off her phone just to sip lazily on her shake.
"Nothing. But are you really sure about going back to Japan?" She slowly said afraid to offend you. You crossed your legs under the table as you fixed your shades.
"Yeah. I need to work and visit my friends too. I don't want them to think that I left them because I have to."
Senju put down her fruit shake. "But you did. Showing up on televisions, magazines and social media platform is something you can't easily get so they might think that you forgot about them after you become a well-known model."
You bit your bottom lip and smiled bitterly.
"You have guards with you when you go?" Wakasa inquired. You bobbed your head.
"The agency will provide them. Usually, I have two guards with me."
The bachelor look at your twins who are playing. Tsukiyo is playing with legos with random kids while Mizuki is on the slides.
"Are you bringing them?" You immediately shook your head. No way that you'll be bringing them. You have too many what-ifs running through your mind.
Senju snickered. "That's good. I don't want them to meet their bastard father."
By Senju's word, the three of you went silent for a while. You've never mentioned a father to the two since you didn't have the courage to. You hide them intentionally. Your twins don't deserve a liar father. You don't want them to get hurt the way you did.
If one day they asked, you'd probably answer them with a lie but it's for their good. Someday, they'll understand. If they look for their father and saw him, you're afraid that the twins would go after him.
He's probably having a family now.
"I'm not forbidding them to go to Japan. They'll be able to go but not now."
"Hmm. I'll support your decision Y/n. I don't mind guarding them."
Your brows furrowed curiously. "What do you mean?"
You didn't tell anyone about Lucia's death threat. You'd hide that secret and bring it with you in your grave. You don't have a problem with Senju guarding your twins though.
Senju awkwardly laughs as she folds her arms across her healthy chest. "I love the twins so I don't want anyone to touch them."
She's not good at lying but you didn't ask any more questions because if she wants to tell you, she'll tell you. You stand up after you took a white towel out of your tote bag and the Tumblr.
You went at the twins and wipe their sweats and let them drink the water.
"Brother, why aren't you playing with me. You're so mean!" Mizuki put both hands on her hips lecturing her older brother. Tsukiyo scoffed at her.
"I'm not gay to play along with your girlfriends," Tsukiyo muttered as he looked at the slide with the girls.
"Then I'll play with your friends, I like lego too. I can help you build a house. How about a castle."
"No. It's better you play with the girls and I'm not building such like that." It was as if Tsukiyo's words were final. This made Mizuki flustered in anger. You immediately stop her from pushing your son.
"C'mon, don't fight..."
"But Mommy, he's not playing with me. He's always like that." Mizuki started to cry but she was forcing herself. You wiped her tears. She definitely got that attitude of yours.
"Mommy, if I play with her right now, her friends will ask me a lot of questions."
"You just have to get along with them, brother. Don't be so meanie! You'll be alone forever you know!"
You sigh and chuckled. "Izu, you should understand your brother sometimes. He's always playing with you at home so today give him a chance to play with boys. And Kiyo, you should also understand your sister's feelings."
Tsukiyo bobbed his head while Mizuki looked down.
"Did I upset you, Mommy?" She asked. Your eyes widen a bit. You immediately shook your head.
"No, why would you say that. The two of you will never upset me. Go on, play with your friends now."
Your day was full of them. You would want to stay forever on their side but you needed to work for them. It's heavy and painful to see your little princess crying as she tries to run after the van you're in. You bitterly smiled. If only they can come with you, you wouldn't mind but we're talking about Japan here.
Your worst fear for them is there. You can bring them to Australia, Korea, Russia, name it unless it's Japan.
It's your own volition to hide them. And you'll never regret hiding them. Alex rubbed your shoulder.
"It's just a matter of time."
You smiled at her and nodded. "It always happened but I'm not used to it yet."
You guys went to another appointment and went to the airport around 4:00 o'clock in the afternoon. It's gonna be a long flight.
Alex handed you your passport as you guys went inside the airport. You sent a message to Yuzuha that you're arriving around 4 or 5 am. It was a tight schedule and you probably won't be able to meet your friends. Maybe Yuzuha if she's not busy.
You waited at the business class with your booker until your flight has been called. You pressed your lips together as you step in.
"We should at least rest because this is gonna be tiring," Alex uttered as she put the bags in the cabin. You sat next to the window as you looked outside. You already missed your babies.
"Yeah...I felt like dying."
Alex chuckled and sit next to you. The plane's captain said something until the plane take off. For a moment you don't feel excited. It's been five years since the last time you set foot in Japan. You're reminiscing about the time when you were happy with your friends. How you teased Mikey for being a short guy sometimes missing their cuddles whenever you're down.
How are they?
Would they be happy after seeing me again?
Anyway, did Mikey becomes taller now? How about Chifuyu?
The place where your young memories remain. Your eyes closed on their own accord until you fell asleep.
--
Alex woke you up when the plane is about to land. You look at the window. The city remains the same; the lights illuminate the city that's beautiful to see in up air. You really missed this country—the food and everything.
After checking the things and going out of the plane, you saw some Japanese actresses and actors the reason why it is crowded with fans even though it was around four am. There are also models from the same entertainment.
You fixed your cap as if you were avoiding getting captured by the cameras. You didn't get in trouble after you get in the black van with a guard opening the door.
You put down your cap as you smiled at the Japanese young woman who was going to work with you. You change your clothes and heels quickly and let the make-up artist do your hair and face.
You wore a plastic coat before you start eating your breakfast.
"How's your feeling, Miss Y/n?" Alex inquired as she was preparing something. You enjoyed your breakfast as you glance at her.
"Good."
It didn't take long enough when you guys arrived at the venue where the event will be held. Your make-up is done and just waiting for the event to start. You sent a message to your Mom that you arrived safely in Tokyo and now you're in Shibuya. Your house is located in Shoto—where luxury houses, apartments, penthouses, villas, etc, can be found— and is a little bit near to the venue but it'll be troublesome to go there since the place is always been struck by traffic and crowds.
"Hey, Y/n!" You look over your shoulder to see the person who called your name. You immediately smiled at Ruise, your former classmate who became a model and at the same time a friend.
"Hi. I never thought of seeing you here," you stated as your cheeks meet each other then you went back to sit on the plastic chair.
Ruise chuckled and then winks at you. "I'm signing a 2 years contract here so yeah. Anyway, let's meet at the party then! Good luck!"
"You too."
The event started around one o'clock. Too many models participated especially those who are well known in the entertainment. The venue is beautiful and it's a bit hot since it's summer and you guys are outside. The audience was seated on the chair taking their phones out to film their favourite models and particularly you're one of them.
Since it was your first time modelling in Japan your fans cheered you when you showed up. You didn't expect to have fans here. They're quite a lot. You wanted to laugh but you remain fierce.
After a long walk, you went back at the backstage to meet Alex. The guard helps you step down the stairs.
"Good job! Now at the casting call," Alex uttered looking at her iPad. You closed your eyes as you pouted your lips. You change into new clothes and wore light make-up. Alex also changes her clothes. You stared at her while changing. She's very beautiful, young and single. Her rosy skin is smooth and healthy. You could have fallen for her if you weren't a woman.
"Why did you choose to become my booker instead of becoming a model?" You inquired. She side-eye you for a second before she looked away.
"Just because."
You pushed your the corner of lips down before you shrug your shoulder. The casting call is not hard since you're only going to make an advertisement with a Japanese actor. You already memorized your script. It's not hard to remember and the director was kind so it wasn't hard to film.
The photographers took pictures of you for a while. After that, your proud mother messaged you a; take care, honey. Ily<3
Paparazzi went after you, after you attend another fashion show. They just ask you some questions that you barely answered. With the help of the guards, you safely reached the van. You bow at them first before closing the door.
It was very hectic that you must move every minute. Your legs hurt you by the way but you remain silent and didn't inform Alex.
"This opportunity will do good for us both. These beauty products have been boosting throughout the year—five years ago up until now actually. Now we're releasing a new skincare product and I want you to be the first one to have a try. It's prone to acne, pores, oily face and dry face. It'll make the skin glow and it's smooth after use."
Tonight you're having dinner with a cosmetic chemist. She handed you a set of beauty products which you gladly accept.
"I know your products. I've been using it back when I was a teenager. I'd be glad to work with you." You smiled and look at Alex. She's the one to know the years of your contract and so on.
"Really?" The chemist became genuine at your answer.
"Miss Ruri, only Miss Y/n could work with you for a year and two months. If the product works and the sales improve after her contract, she can sign another contract and much longer become your company's endorser."
Miss Ruri who was actually looking for this, nodded at Alex's condition. You excused yourself to use the washroom. You noticed the admiring stares of the customers inside the restaurant.
"See, she's really beautiful and tall in person."
"I like her curves...I want that body too."
"She's really gorgeous. I bet men would beg to their knees just to have her."
"Unlike other models who are becoming famous lately, she's not a snob. Let's have a picture with her!"
When you reached the washroom, you washed your hands and stared at the huge mirror to fix your clothes. You're wearing four-inch heels that match your clothes and made you look even taller. When you reached nineteen years old, your height improves and your body becomes curvy.
You did an exercise to get rid of your belly when you gave birth to your twins and get rid of the stretch marks you had and your chest actually improve. Your body went back to becoming skinny although a lot sexier.
But you never get rid of the scars. Those remain in your abdomen and back. Your Mom and cousins want it to get removed but you decline. That's why when you're wearing a bikini in a photo shoot or just you taking a shot on the beach, a lot of people would comment and ask you why you had scars but you remain idle with it.
Young girls went inside to have a picture with you and an autograph in your new released magazine last month. You smiled at them and joke a bit.
You didn't last inside 'cause it will surely be crowded. You took your phone out of your bvlgari bag to look if you received a message from Mizuki because she likes texting you mostly random ones and her pictures.
You grin when you saw her cute picture. She's inside the car having her ice cream. You rolled your eyes because of that. No one knows how much you're resisting sharing how adorable your twins are on your social media. Because you weren't looking in the hallway, you accidentally bumped into someone the reason why your phone fell.
"Oh my God!" You whispered and immediately grabbed your phone and turned it off. You stand straightly and looked at the person you bumped.
"I'm sorry," you apologetically said. You tilt your head and went toward the tall girl you bumped. You're facing her back that's why you tapped her shoulder.
"Are you alright, Ma'am?"
For a moment, the atmosphere went silent. The air becomes cold and dry. You licked your lips and stepped a bit. The smells that surround you slowly become familiar. You worriedly chuckled.
It's as if a knife slowly runs through your spine.
"I'm sorry, really..." You quickly turn around and left. You almost stumble on your feet but to your surprise, a calloused hand grabbed your forearm harshly which made you face the person in front of you.
His long mullet hair made him look outstanding, especially the colour of his hair. You furrowed when you realized who that person is. A grimace that you've never seen before looks dangerous which dried your throat.
He's the last person you would want to bump with. But hell, why is it right now?
"Oh, it's been a while...My dearest Y/n."
