i threw my phone on my bed as i sat on my chair. it continued to play the final episode of lovenow where aqua confessed his 'feelings' to akane after kissing her.

"ha...ahaha...ha ha ha, why did i even torture myself like this.." i muttered quietly, lifting my legs up my chair and hugging my knees to my chest.

ever since that incident with akane, aqua and i almost never did talk again. yes, we do talk sometimes but it's usually about school and will always got short.

my stomach churned when the phone continued to play, letting me hear the cheering from the other lovenow cast as the final couple has been established.

i don't even know why i'm jealous. i only like aqua because of i only know him superficially, right? it's not like all his kindness towards me are genuine, right?

it's not like i'm like kana who knew him for a long time or akane who can understand him because of her skills.

i'm just a character in this world that shouldn't have existed in the first place.

"stop being jealous, you bitch." i muttered, looking at my pathetic reflection on my floor length mirror that was standing near my desk.

i stood up and grabbed my phone, removing that content on my screen.

"why would i be jealous? it's just aqua, a walking red flag. what's greater than that walking red flag? the red flag pioneer, of course" i mumbled under my breath, laughing a little when i caught myself typing a certain name on google.

i never did searched his name before. in my past life, i was really curious about his character and i empathize with the things that he experienced when he was a kid.

who am i looking for, you might ask. i'm going to research about hikaru kamiki, of course. i'm doing this to distract myself from my own unnecessary jealousy.

"let's see what kind of person you really are, hikaru kamiki..."

aishi's coping mechanism whenever she was feeling a lot of negative emotion was studying things that would interest her.

it was one of the things that she retained from her past life.

her eyes unknowingly brightened as she fell into a deep rabbit hole about hikaru kamiki. it was a bit worrying that she was so invested with the life of a serial killer but you can't blame her at all.

all of her investigation along with her previous knowledge made aishi understand kamiki more and more.

"hm, he haven't killed yura katayose, right?" aishi muttered, looking at kamiki's past victims. although he didn't outright killed them, hikaru was the catalyst for airi himekawa and ai hoshino's death.

her endless searching brought her to the older rehearsal videos of lala lie company. aishi watched every video that had the young hikaru in them, noting his world class acting.

'well, now i know where taiki inherited his skills and how he fooled yura katayose so much..'

aishi didn't stopped investigating until she finally reached a dead end. hikaru kamiki appears rarely on social media and the photos that she currently have on her computer was old paparazzi photos.

she was just scrolling down on the website of kamiki production when something caught her eyes.

[NOTICE: Kamiki Production is now hiring translators. Please refer to this link for further information about this matter: https://kamikipro.jp.com/hiring-offers/ 45510?=]

aishi stared at the announcement, her dark brown eyes shining brightly with intent amidst the dark room.

"a simple part time job wouldn't hurt right?"

i was yawning on my way to school. it was still 7:25 am and yet, i'm already on my way to school.

"damn, why did i slept at 3 am again?" i mumbled, wiping the small tear that formed on the corner of my eyes.

once i finally reached the school premise, i saw how girls seems to be more giddy and more...attentive (?) towards a certain blonde boy.

'huh..?' i walked passed the courtyard next to the general education building when i finally recognize who the girls seems to admire.

"aqua-..san?" i quietly mumbled once the boy stood up and walked to the same direction as me.

aqua finally saw me and walked up to me. "aishi." he said, nodding at me and acknowledging my presence.

i feel very awkward with him because of my very messy feelings towards him. i like aqua but i don't know if if this 'like' that i have is still because of his character or if i'm really falling inlove with this red flag of a person.

"hm, you seemed to be attracting a lot of attention, aqua-san.." i stated as we started to walk towards our classroom. aqua is still receiving stares from girls from different year levels.

"i see..." he seemed to be busy not paying attention to those stares. i mean, i understand the sudden stares that he was getting after his recent work at lovenow.

i stayed silent as we walk upstairs. i was holding on the straps of my bag when two people ran past us and bumped into my shoulder.

"ah—!" i lost my balance and was about to fall down the stairs. i was about to grabbed onto the railings but i felt a hand grabbing my waist and stopping gravity from pulling me down.

i closed my eyes, already preparing for impact but it never came. i slowly opened my eyes and its was met by aqua's ocean blue eyes looking at me with worry and...fear?

"a-aqua-..san?" i muttered as i maintained eye contact with him. his grip on my waist tightened when he heard me speak.

my heart is racing so fast but for an entirely different reason. it was not because of any adrenaline rush, no. my hear is beating because of how...how worried your face is.

the silent squeals of the students nearby woke us out of our trance as aqua's grip loosen and just helped me regain my balance. he cleared his throat and spoke.

"be careful next time." aqua said before leaving me on the steps.

i was frozen on the stairs as i watched his back. i slowly raised my hand to my chest as i felt my heart beating abnormally. my face feels so warm as a rosy tint appeared on my cheeks.

'what...what the fuck was that?!'  i thought to myself, slowly holding on the railing of the stairs, trying to calm myself down.

'is this...my fucking doki doki moment?!'

as aishi was busy calming herself, aqua was still walking. his heart is also beating wildly.

he felt that his life flashed before his eyes when he saw aishi almost falling on the stairs.

aqua went to the nearby bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror. he washed his face and tried to calm himself.

'i...' he thought to himself, looking at the sink. 'why are you making me feel this way, aishi...'

she was supposed to be someone who had no use to him because she's not related to his revenge at all but, why is he so drawn to thr plain yet kind girl.

"am i just seeing you in her, aiko...?"
