It wasn't that surprising knowing that he was married. No, the truth was, I was really surprised. So I fall for someone who already got married and even had children. I see, so that was what Kakihara-san meant. Well, in this kind of industry, voice actor's privacy was a top notch. That day when Yoshino-san told me about that, I immediately searched it on the internet and it was really true, seemed everyone knew it, except me. What a pathetic me!

I sighed loudly and slumped my face on my table.

"What's with you, (F/N)?" My father asked me confusedly as he brought hot chocolate for me "Did you finish your work?"

"Y-yeah, I'm done. Just finishing up" I answered and sipped on the hot chocolate and turned my head back to my table "It's surprising that the songs I wrote were made into a beautiful song."

"I want you to give this to Suzumura tomorrow" father didn't even say anything about what I said then left.

"Why am I being depressed? I knew it, I shouldn't fall on the first place. Nope that's not it. I shouldn't be in that place."

I walked down the empty hall way, holding the lyrics I wrote. Somehow, I couldn't calm down. The silence in the hall way was somehow scary. I took a deep breath and sighed loudly.

"That's a loud sigh, (F/N)-chan"

"EEEEK!" I flinched and jolted in surprised. As if my heart left my chest, the papers I was holding fall on the floor, and tears immediately ran down on my cheeks. I glared at this person who suddenly popped out of nowhere

"That's surprising, (F/N)-chan can have this kind of reaction?!"

"Namikawa-san, it's been a while since I last saw you, and you..." I slapped him hard but he was laughing "Don't popped out of nowhere!"

He was laughing. It was futile, he was enjoying it. I took a deep breath and calm myself. I picked up all the papers on the floor and he helped me. I narrowed my eyes and he was smiling creepily.

I sighed and just shook my head "Then, I heard that your kid and your wife caught a cold, are they okay now?" I asked confusedly and he nodded

"Oh so you heard of it. They are both fine now, thank you for worrying" The way he said it, it was as if he overcome a huge problem. Well, of course, it was about his family.

We both headed to the meeting room and surprisingly everyone was there, no, almost, Iwata-san wasn't here.

"Why is everyone here?" I confusedly asked as I sat down next to Kakihara-san who was grinning at me maliciously "I hate that smile of yours Kakihara-san" I told him as I covered his face with the paper I was holding

"We're going to talk about the Kirafes"

Eh? The Kirafes just finished though, ah but then last year it was the same.

As time passed, the meeting started and I just remained silence, writing down notes and listening to them. Even though there were inside jokes, everyone was very serious. Everyone was doing their best. Still, I couldn't blend in to these people.

Once the meeting finished, I stack up the papers and sat silently on my place. "(F/N)-chan" I turned around and Suzumura-san was standing behind me "Did your father give you something?"

"Ah yes, here" I gave him the files and he smiled. He patted my head then left. I was again left alone, no, someone just came back

"AH, you are still here"

"What is it, Namikawa-san?"

"Remember when we ate ramen? I told you I will give you something in return" He sat down next to me and handed a folder "I want you to take it"

I opened the folder and my eyes widened. I looked at Namikawa-san and he was having a big wide smile

"This?"

"It's a scholarship for music school in America, they also have song writing course there. I want you to have it."

"No, I mean this is in America, I can't I mean"

He patted my head and smiled. I couldn't control my emotion and blushed.

"(F/N) is good in writing song lyrics. But, you are still lacking. And that is experience. I want you to experience more. I want you to expand your knowledge. So I want you to take it. I want you to graduate and return here with your good compositions" He rested his cheeks on his palm and sighed "But the truth is, I really want you to experience the outside world. In that way, you can write more good songs. You should find more friends and experience youth."

I stared at the papers he gave to me and tried to calm myself. I was happy. I wanted to take it. But I was really afraid. I glimpsed at Namikawa-san and he was grinning creepily again

"Namikawa-san, you are acting nice and it is creeping me out. Also, why are you sweating? It is not needed!"

"You, really? Besides, I sweat a lot. I'm also nervous since you might not accept it"

"But still, why are you giving this to me? I mean you can give it to the other songwriter in Kiramune-"

"(F/N) is still young. You help us a lot with the songs you wrote. You also help me a lot in putting furigana. This time, I want to help you. If you accept it, I will tell the director personally. Of course, to your father too"

"T-Thank you, N-Namikawa-san. I will think about this. And discuss it to my father."

"Yeah, then tell me when you finally decide, okay?"

I was really happy! In my frustration to my own feelings, I got my handkerchief and threw it to him "Wipe your sweat, it's annoying!"

I immediately grabbed my things and left, but before I closed the door "L-let me clear this, I don't need that handkerchief anymore. You can have it!"

I ran away and my heart wouldn't calm down. But still, in this way, I needed to leave the country.

I stopped on the empty hall way. Tighten my grip on the papers I was holding.

Ah, also in this way, I could find someone, someone that could help me forget this feeling. Someone that wasn't married.

"But will I be able to find one?"

"Find one?"

I jolted and immediately slapped this one who again surprised me "For real, Namikawa-san!"

"Hahaha! Here, you forgot one, and it seems so important. Time to time you talk to yourself, (F/N)-chan"

I blushed and felt embarrassed from what he said. I grabbed the paper and glared at him. "S-shut up! Hummph!"

~

Days had passed and I talked to my father, he was okay with it. In the end, he told me that the decision was mine.

"I heard Namikawa-san gave a scholarship to you, (F/N)"

I jolted and sweat covered me. It was still like this "K-Kamiya-san, y-yes, he gave me two weeks ago."

"Did you already decide if you are going or not?"

"Y-yes, I already think about it and planning to tell him first"

Kamiya-san smiled and I did the same. He left when one staff called him.

I somehow couldn't handle Kamiya-san.

"You really can't handle Kamiya-kun"

"Tsk, I know this pattern"

I immediately slapped this guy behind me who again popped out of nowhere. Beside him was Yoshino-san and he laughed from my reaction.

"Your tsundere character is really refreshing to see" Yoshino-san commented

"Please leave me alone. People keep on popping out of nowhere these past days, good thing I don't have any heart disease." I told the two of them and narrowed my eyes towards Namikawa-san "I will tell you my decision later after your recording."

I left them and headed towards the director's office.

~

"So you finally decide. Then let me hear it"

"Thank you very much for this offer, Namikawa-san" I bowed down and he was taken aback

"So it means that you are not going to accept it?"

I shook my head and lowered my gaze "The opposite, I will accept it"

"REALLY?!" his voice became loud and I flinched

"Your voice is so loud!" I retorted and sigh. "I will accept this offer and go to America this coming September. But before that, did you read the scholarship details, Namikawa-san?" he shook his head and grinned at me. "There were requirements needed and the deadline already passed"

"Eh?"

I chuckled from his dumbfounded reaction and shook my head "But don't worry, even there's no scholarship I will accept this offer and go to America. I will do what you want. I will study and expand my knowledge. But don't blame me if I became great!"

"What a cheeky brat!" he pinched my cheeks and smiled "I'm happy to hear that."

"T-Thank you Namikawa-san. A-also, w-when I return, I-I will write a good song and please-"

He patted my head and he didn't let me finish "I will, so make sure to take care of yourself. As an introvert like you, it will be hard. But because it's you, I know that you can do it"

I pouted my lips and to hide my embarrassment expression "Namikawa-san, you are sweating, your face became darker again, and your hand is heavy"

"Yes, yes. Then, I'll tell the director about it"

I watched him walked away and I could see that he was happy about my decision. I also realized, for Namikawa-san, I was like his daughter that he wanted to experience lots.

"Daughter, huh?"

~

"Then, what are you doing here, Namikawa-san?!" I crossed my arms and narrowed my eyes towards this dark guy who was grinning at me, having a peace sign on both of his hands "Please stop that creepy peace sign of yours"

"Well, I was the one who offered you about going to that school in America. I at least want to see you off"

"You don't need to that. My father will come with me to America, but he will return too next week" I told him and sighed "W-well, t-thank you for seeing me off"

"(F/N), it's time" my father said and bowed down towards Namikawa-san. "I'll go ahead first."

As my father went first, I looked at Namikawa-san and he was smiling. I sighed and grabbed my luggage

"Again, thank you Namikawa-san. Oh and also" I made a big wide smiled and did a peace sign "Actually, I really like you, Namikawa-san. Not as a fan, but I really do. See you!"

I laughed at his reaction since I caught him off guard. I hurriedly pulled my luggage and somehow I was satisfied to what I did.

"Lame" I told to myself but I was doing my best not to cry.

~Present time~

"You are dazing off, (F/N)"

"I apologize, Suzumura-san"

"The director is on his way. Daisuke, you followed" I turned around and chuckled "I'll be right back" As he said that, I was left with Namikawa-san whose excitement was flowing towards me

"What is it, Namikawa-san?"

"The song you said that you will write for me, did you have it?"

"I don't" I answered and I saw his dejected face "I'm joking" I handed him the song sheet and he blinked fast "What?!"

"Not just writing lyrics, but you learned writing notes too?!"

"I told you, don't blame me if I become great! Humph!"

"Well, that's all thanks to me, right?" he made a peace sign and I sighed loudly. This guy didn't change at all. His eyebrows were going up and down, and he was having a victorious smile. I smiled and just shook my head "Ahre, you will not get mad?"

"It's futile to get mad, you'll again do it next time."

"You changed" He grinned big and grabbed both of my shoulders "It's great! So great! You are still tsundere, but you are not the introvert, anti-social person anymore!"

"S-shut up!" I looked away and pouted my lips. "By the way, I went to different places in America. I even found lots of good friends. T-to expand more of my writing skill, I wanted to experience more of the outside world. So, I will be leaving time to time."

I looked at Namikawa-san and he was smiling gently, so gentle that it was stabbing my chest. Still I couldn't find someone to replace him, but still, eventually I will.

"Namikawa-san, thank you very much. If you didn't tell me about that school before, I wouldn't be able to experience those things." I turned red and grinned at him "Anyway, you are sweating again unneeded, and your face is becoming darker and darker. Please do something about it"

"You still have a sharp tongue" he nuzzled my hair and wiped his sweat, using the handkerchief I gave him before.

Suzumura-san returned with the director and somehow they asked me my experienced in America. I told them the most memorable one, and Namikawa-san who was sitting beside me kept on bragging that because of him, I experienced those things.

Well, he wasn't wrong, but indeed, thanks to him, I would be still in my comfort zone, in my room, just dreaming what the world was all about. I really am grateful, Namikawa-san.

I knew that I had a one sided feelings towards him, but until I find a person who would make my heart throbbed like this guy here, I would keep this feeling, and expand my knowledge.
