I left the house with my mother and got into the car along with Daiki and Rina. The car started moving. "Where are the scenes being fild?" I asked Rina, since I had no idea.
I had so notion of the scenes we'd be shooting today because Rina had sent the script in advance. It's a scene where Sota is walking down the street and runs into a forr girlfriend.
It's a short scene.
There are also other scenes we'll shoot today, like one where I go to a restaurant with my brother and his girlfriend, and another where I go to a karaoke place with so people.
All extras.
This is the first scene where Sota will be shown as "trash." Or rather, a foolish womanizer.
After driving for a while, we arrived near Ueno Park, the sa place where I had taken photos before.
But unlike before, part of the park was closed off, and there was a large number of production staff everywhere.
Besides the crew, there were also actors who would serve as extras.
As soon as I got closer, soone from the crew led to a nearby trailer. It was a mobile dressing room. I went in with my mother.
The people outside were staring at . The extras looked surprised. Well, they don't know —I'm still an unknown actor. Speaking of which, the series hasn't even been announced yet…
I wonder what will happen when the series is announced, along with the cast list.
I'm looking forward to it.
This ti, there was no table read. The sa makeup artist ca into my trailer and took care of my hair, and then they handled my wardrobe. It took less than an hour to get ready.
After waiting a bit longer inside the trailer, soone knocked on the door.
It was ti.
I left the trailer with a smile on my face. I looked around, and so of the female extras smiled and waved at . I smiled back and then walked toward the director, who looked impatient.
He started explaining how the scene would go while the staff handled the audio and the extras got into position.
Everything happened quickly, and I acted calmly. It all felt very natural.
Then the actress who would be acting with appeared. She was older than , with long black hair and a cute face. Her na is Aoi Hoshino. She's a rookie actress, just like .
However, this isn't her first role.
"Nice to et you." She approached with a smile and extended her hand.
I shook her hand and then bowed slightly. "Nice to et you. Let's get along." I smiled gently at her.
The director then said, "You two should talk a bit. We'll start in fifteen minutes."
Then he walked off and began shouting at so staff mbers.
"Your na is Kyo, right?"
"Yes, Kyo Evans. My last na is foreign because my father isn't Japanese."
"I see."
"And you're Aoi Hoshino, right? I was surprised when I saw your photo. You're very beautiful."
"Don't say things like that~~ You're making embarrassed." Aoi said, walking beside and lightly bumping her shoulder against mine. "Is this your first ti filming a series?"
"I've shot so scenes in a studio before, but it's my first ti working outdoors. This series is my first job as an actor."
"And what do you think?"
"It's fun. I like acting."
"I see~~ I like it too, but I prefer singing." Aoi laughed and moved even closer to . For a mont, I thought she was going to grab my hand. "Ah, sorry. I tend to get too close to people without realizing."
"It's fine."
I sat down next to Aoi, and we watched the staff finish setting things up.
The only actors here, aside from the extras, were and Aoi.
I'll et the other actors later.
"And you, do you like singing?"
I was surprised by Aoi's question.
"Singing? I'm good at it, but I don't like it much. I think I'd rather write a song than sing one."
"Write? You can write songs?"
"I've never tried, but I want to in the future."
"Why don't you write a song for to sing? We can exchange contact info."
"Hmm…" After thinking for a bit, I ended up giving Aoi my number.
She's being a bit too friendly.
I can tell when a girl is interested in .
And she knows my age…
"Kyo! Aoi!"

POV: Third Person
When filming began, Kyo started walking with his hands in his pockets while the cara followed him. The extras also began moving according to the director's instructions.
Then "Taiga," Sota's ex-girlfriend, appeared.
Aoi, who played Taiga, acted as if she were surprised when she saw Sota.
She hesitated about whether she should approach him. But since she still had so feelings for him, she decided to go up to him.
However, before she could deliver her first line—
"Cut!" Director Hayashida shouted. "That's wrong! You're not supposed to smile like that, Aoi! Let's start over."
"I'm sorry." Aoi lowered her head in embarrassnt and apologized.
Then the scene restarted.
And again—
"Cut!" Director Hayashida shouted. "Aoi, what was that look? Are you thinking about sothing else during filming? You need to focus."
Aoi had even stumbled.
Kyo looked at Aoi, who was extrely embarrassed, and sighed.
'This is going to take longer than I expected.'
And just as Kyo thought, filming with Aoi really did take a long ti.
She kept making mistake after mistake, and it took more than two hours to finish a scene that should have been simple.
The director's impatience was palpable.
When the scene was finally completed, Aoi tried to find Kyo to talk to him, but he had already gotten into a car and left for the next filming location.
Aoi noticed that everyone was bothered by her acting and the delay, which made her very irritated.
She was soone who couldn't accept criticism.
anwhile, in the car, Kyo thought, 'Fortunately, she likes singing. I don't think her career as an actress will go very far.'
He felt a bit bad for thinking that, but it was the truth.
