"And so you resign from being a manager? But you will go to the recording studio, why?"

I remained silence, ignored her question as I watched the buildings we were passing by. I asked my cousin, Kana, who was living in the same apartment building with me, to drive me to the recording studio.

Why?

It had been two weeks since I resigned at Axl-One, and since that day I always went to the studio and begged the staff director to cast Jun back. I just hoped that this time he would agree

"We're here. Should I go with you inside?"

"No, just wait me here, then are you sure you will come with me to find new job?"

"Yes I will. I have a month off from my job, so I'll accompany you"

"Thanks" I got off her car and proceeded inside, and once I entered the building, the staff director was there standing while holding bunches of paper

"Tetsuna-san, you are here again"

"Yes, I apologize. I am here to ask you again to cast Fukuyama Jun back. It wasn't his fault. He didn't even know about that. It was all my fault, so please, I begged you" I bowed down lowly really begging to cast Jun back

I heard him sighed and he chuckled "I'm defeated. I understand. However, I cannot cast him as the main protagonist, yet I can still give him a major role"

"Really?!" I looked at him as tears started to run down on my cheeks "Thank you very much!"

"Go back tomorrow. I'll let you know what role he will get." He smiled and patted my head "you continued to ask me for two weeks and you didn't stop. You are a good manager. You really look after Fukuyama-kun" he said and left once the elevator opened

"Thank you very much!" I again bowed down with my voice of appreciation

"Isn't it nice, Tetsuna-san?" I turned around as Morikawa-san with Tachibana-san were there

"Eh, what are you doing here, Morikawa-san, Tachibana-san?"

"Shinnosuke-kun had a recording too. The staff director called me to just go here. I didn't know at first why he called me here, but now I got it."

"Jun, Fukuyama Jun, does he know?"

Tachibana-san shook his head "we didn't say anything to him. He didn't know yet that you hand in your resignation."

"Thank you very much. I needed to work hard for the mistake I did"

"But was that really your mistake?" Mirokawa-san curiously asked

"If it wasn't then this thing wouldn't happen"

"But I checked the schedules on your scheduler, and also called the staff directors in those schedules, yours are all correct. Your scheduler and the schedule written on the board they are different."

"Board?" I curiously asked "the one in the meeting room?"

"Huh? There's one there? I only know the one in Morikawa-san's office" Tachibana-san answered that made me more curious

"Exactly, I actually noticed that Tetsuna-san didn't know about that, and the writings are all different. So I wonder who really did that" Morikawa-san sighed "Tetsuna, I appreciate if you return to the agency. I'll give you time to think about it again"

I nodded and just smiled in response "thank you very much. I'll tell Jun myself about my resignation. I'll be going then"

As I left the recording studio, somehow a heavy weight lifted on my shoulder

"A good thing happened, right?" Kana asked as I sat on the passenger seat "and here, you forgot your phone, he is calling you for a while." she gave me my phone, it was then Jun was again calling "shouldn't you answer his call?"

"I'm afraid to talk to him"

"Why?"

"I miss him. It's been two weeks since I last saw him. Plus the way I left him that day, it was really awkward"

"Or perhaps because you were jealous that he and that Takagi-san became close to each other?"

I remained silence again as she started to drive. She was right, I felt like my chest was being stabbed every time I saw those two together

As the day passed, I stayed at Kana's house because I was so tired to go home. My apartment room was at the last floor and Kana's was at the 2nd floor

And as I dozed off in Kana's room

-flashback-

"Jun, this is your new manager, Tetsuna Haru" I was introduced to him and for the first time, I was caught off guard. My heart skipped a beat once our eyes met

"Haru, a guy?"

"I'm a woman." The first thing I told him was that, even though I fall for him the first time I saw him, I was surprised from his bluntness

"For real?" I glared at him and he laughed at me "hahaha, I'm joking. Nice to meet you. Please take care of me from now on"

In my first three months, I did what a manager should do. Though, I couldn't find myself being a friend of the great seiyuu Fukuyama Jun.

I entered the agency, and since I woke up late I couldn't prepare that much, I felt that my face was so bloated. I was wearing my eyeglass, and didn't wear contacts today.

"Good morning, Fukuyama-san." I greeted him as he was reading his script for the recording later "I received another anime, do you want to audition for this one?" I asked him but he wasn't answering. I looked at him and he was looking at me "what?"

"Haru?" He asked trying to confirm if it was really me

"Ah, the last time I check, I am Haru. Should I check it again?"

"You look different today."

I raised my brow and commented "I just wear my eyeglass today"

"You became a different person!" He stood up and went in front of me. His face was so close! "you should wear that from now on"

I glared at him and suspiciously asked him "do you have an eyeglass fetish?"

His face turned red and I noticed that he was so embarrassed. What should I do in this situation?

"I-it is bad?" he answered looking away trying to hide his blushing face

"It is not. It is normal for people to have a fetish, so you are normal"

After the day that I found out that he had a fetish, we became closer and he told me all his problems, and just what happened in his daily life.

Years after, he left the agency and moved to Morikawa-san's new agency. I supposed to stay in his previous agency, but he persuaded me to come with him. In the end I waited for my contract to expire and moved also to Axl-One. I was welcomed by Mirokawa-san and immediately became Jun's manager.

We became closer as we stop using honorific and I learned more things about him. My feelings to him as a man grew stronger.

-present time-

"Haru, I went to your room, Fukuyama-san was standing in front your house. Good thing he didn't know that I'm your cousin, right?" Kana said as she entered her room, and I just woke up

It was then again my phone rang and it was Jun. Kana gave me a sign to answer his call and left the room

As if I had no choice I answered his call

"Haru! You finally answer"

"What is it?"

"Where on earth are you right now?!"

"I'm in my cousin's house"

"I haven't see you for a while. I'm outside your house. You are not coming to work"

"I resigned"

"Eh?"

"I resigned. Takagi-san is your new manager."

"Why? Why?!" I noticed his voice that he was surprised and mad at the same time "did I do something wrong?"

"No you didn't do anything. I made a mistake. I actually did something wrong"

"I don't mind what it was. I don't care, just stay"

"No. Probably, I am just making that as an excuse. But the real reason probably is because being your manager is hard. I don't want just to be your manager"

"Eh? What do you mean?"

"Probably this will be the last. I'll tell you this" I gathered all my courage as I confessed to him "I love you, Fukuyama Jun" as I said it to him, I hang up and buried myself under the pillow "I'm such a failure"

"Thanks for the good work, you can cry as much as you can" Kana came in and I heard the sound of the glass of water on the side table

Christmas was around the corner, and I was jobless. Morikawa-san messaged me that I could go back any time I want. I wanted, but because of what I did to Jun, somehow I had no courage to face him anymore

"So what is your plan on the 25th?" Kana asked me while she was writing

"Sleep?" I answered while knitting

"Christmas eve?"

"Sleep?"

"What a boring life?!" She commented and then put down her pen "Then to whom are you planning to give that knitted cap?" I remained silence and just continued. I actually bought and started knitting this for Jun even before that happened. Kana chuckled then looked at me "Then on Christmas Eve, meet me in front of the big Christmas tree in front of the Shopping center and give me that knitted cap, okay? Give me that as a present. No question, just meet me there, okay"

Christmas Eve~

I finished the knitted cap and I brought it with me. Kana message me that she would be late, so I went around the shopping center first before going to the big Christmas tree. I wanted to buy things, but since I was saving money, I just went to look around.

"I should buy another gift for Kana" I mumbled and went around, but I ended up entering an eyeglass store. Since I ended up there, I just gave up and went to Starbucks and ordered hot chocolate

The clock turned 11, and I went out to the big Christmas tree to wait for Kana.

But then, why it became like this? Everyone around me was full of lovers. Stupid Kana, why of all places, it should be here?!

30 minutes after, the Christmas lights became more and more beautiful. A while ago, there were not much Christmas lights but now it was full of Christmas lights

"It is beautiful" I commented as a faint smile escape from my face

"It is" I felt an arm around my shoulder and when I looked at my side, Jun was standing beside me with black winter jacket and a peach scarf "It is more beautiful if you are with someone"

"Why-?"

"I finally caught you, Haru" he pulled me more over his side and I could smell his sweet smell "You are not allowed to run, since I will be your cousin's substitute for tonight" I was curious what he meant "I received you cousin's fan letter. Saying that she supposed to meet you here, but she couldn't so she wanted me to go here, since I've been looking for you"

"You have schedule today, right?" I nervously asked dodging the fact that my cousin just set us up

"I insisted not to have a schedule today. You know that" He held my shoulder and faced my body to him "Why did you decide by yourself?"

"Eh?"

"You resigned, then you went to the studio and begged the director? Why did you do that? It is fine not to get that job, why did you insist?"

"Because of my mistake you didn't get the main protagonist role, you were pulled out from the project, I don't want that. Because of my carelessness-"

"Morikawa-san found out that it was Takagi who made the mistake. She contacted different staff directors even though I already have schedules. It wasn't your fault" he explained and I could feel his cold hand on my face "Now can you go return as my manager?"

"B-but, I-I told you-"

"Wait, listen to me first" I looked at him and I was taken aback by his gazed "Now, I need a confirmation about what you told me on the phone" I was frozen and I avert my gaze from him "Look at me, Haru" from his voice, I immediately looked at him. "It is true, right? That you love me?" I just looked at him, I felt like my mouth was dried that words could come out "You don't need to speak" I nodded in response and at the same time tears started to run down on my cheeks. He wiped my tears, and then wrapped his scarf on me "I mentioned to you, right? That I will get a girlfriend on Christmas Eve, right?"

"Y-yeah," I answered in small voice

"Since we have a mutual feelings, from now on, you will be my manager, and my girlfriend" without waiting on my response, I felt his lips on top of mine. My dry lips became wet as I felt his wet lips on mine. He parted and leaned his forehead to mine, his hands wrapped on my waist as he moved me closer to him "The only person who can look after me is you. The reason why I want to have a day off today is because I want to spend the day with you not as seiyuu but as Fukuyama Jun. I love you, Tetsuna Haru" he kissed my forehead and again I felt his lips on top of mine.

I was defeated. His words and his actions, I accepted him. In front of the big Christmas tree, during the Christmas Eve, I accepted Jun as he initiated a obsessive, immense kiss.

When we parted again, I looked at him and hugged him. I felt that he embraced me back and it was a tight embrace

"I love you, Jun. I apologize for having a selfish decision."

"It is fine. You are forgiven as long as you come back to my side. Also, it is Christmas Eve, we must celebrate it together" he pulled back and got a velvet red box on his pocket "Merry Christmas, Haru"

I opened the box and there was a star silver necklace "T-thank you, Jun. I feel bad on my gift to you"

"I will receive anything as long as it is from you"

I nervously gave him the knitted cap and he immediately put it on "I-I hope you like it, Merry Christmas"

As I greeted him, the firework displayed started. I looked at him and he was already looking at me "You are not allowed to leave my side from now on" he said as he pulled me closer into his arm

~

Morikawa-san gladly welcome me back as Jun's manager and people around us noticed that we became closer. Indeed we became closer, to the extent that even though there were people around us, though they were not looking, he would steal a kiss followed by his usual dajare (lame joke)
