Oshi No Ko; You are my World (SEASON 2 BAYBEH)

33: Try again

Mr. Kumugai, the director, called out, "Action!" as the cameras began to roll. Dio, fully immersed in his character, stood tall and confident on the side of the mountain highway, the wind whipping through his hair. He portrayed a cunning and sinister character, a man who reveled in his misdeeds.

Hikaru, in his role as the determined hero, approached Dio's character, his expression a mix of anger and determination. "I've finally caught you, Kurogami," Hikaru declared, his voice firm.

Dio's character, Kurogami, smirked and chuckled darkly. "Caught me, have you? But you're just a pawn in this grand game, Tachibana," Dio responded, his voice dripping with wicked amusement.

Hikaru's character, Tachibana, clenched his fists, his eyes narrowing. "Enough games, Kurogami! Tell me where you've taken Ayumu and Haruka!"

Kurogami laughed in response, his demeanor unyielding. "Why would I tell you? You're too naive to comprehend the true nature of power. But I'll give you a hint. They're in a place where you'll never find them."

Tachibana's frustration grew, and he took a step closer, his voice now filled with determination. "I won't let you get away with this. I'll find them, and I'll make sure you pay for your crimes!"

Kurogami simply scoffed at Tachibana's resolve. "Oh, please, Tachibana. Your righteous indignation won't save them. They're at my mercy, and soon, you will be too."

Hikaru's character clenched his teeth, his face contorting with anger and determination. "We'll see about that, Kurogami. I won't rest until Ayumu and Haruka are safe and you're brought to justice!"

As the scene concluded, Mr. Kumugai called out, "Cut!" The tension in the air dissipated, and the actors stepped out of their roles. Dio, with a smirk still lingering on his face, approached Hikaru.

"That was quite a performance, Kamiki-san. But I must say, your character's determination is futile," Dio stated with a hint of amusement.

Hikaru, still in character, stared back at Dio, his gaze intense. "You may think so, Kurogami, but I won't be swayed by your taunts. I will find them and bring them back safely."

Dio's smirk widened. "Oh, how valiant of you, Tachibana. But let me remind you, this is just a role, a game we're playing. The truth is, the fate of Ayumu and Haruka lies solely in my hands."

Hikaru's character bristled at Dio's words, his eyes narrowing. "I won't let you get away with this, Kurogami. I'll find a way to stop you."

Dio's laughter echoed through the mountainside as he waved off Hikaru's seriousness. "Such determination, Tachibana. But remember, it's all just make-believe. Don't take it too seriously."

Hikaru's character gritted his teeth, frustration evident in his eyes. "We'll see, Kurogami. We'll see."

With that, the two actors broke out of their roles, leaving the intensity of their characters behind. The crew gathered around them, ready to capture the next scene as soon as possible, but it had unfortunately begun to rain.

As the rain poured down, the film crew quickly halted the filming, seeking shelter in their trailers and equipment tents. Dio let out a frustrated sigh as he sat inside his trailer, listening to the rhythmic patter of raindrops on the roof. He glanced over at Aqua, who was seated nearby, looking equally disappointed.

"This rain is a nuisance," Dio muttered, running a hand through his hair. "It's slowing down the production."

Aqua nodded in agreement, a hint of worry in his eyes. "Yeah, it's unfortunate. But safety comes first. We can't risk anyone getting hurt in these conditions."

Dio smirked, his eyes glimmering with mischief. "Well, I suppose I'll make the best of this break. I think I'll take a little stroll in the woods nearby."

Aqua's eyebrows furrowed with concern. "Are you sure it's safe to wander off alone in this weather?"

Dio waved off Aqua's worry with a nonchalant gesture. "Don't worry about me, child. I know these woods like the back of my hand. Besides, I could use some fresh air."

With that, Dio stepped out of his trailer, his footsteps barely audible over the sound of rain. He donned a black coat to shield himself from the elements, his gaze focused on the nearby woods. As he disappeared into the misty surroundings, he turned back to Aqua.

"I'll be safe. Don't worry about me," Dio assured, a flicker of a smile crossing his lips before he vanished into the rainy haze.

Aqua watched Dio's figure fade into the distance, a mixture of concern and curiosity swirling within him. He knew Dio was capable and cunning, but there was an air of mystery surrounding him that both intrigued and unsettled Aqua.

Meanwhile, Dio wandered through the woods, his steps deliberate and purposeful. The rain washed over him, clinging to his coat, but he paid it no mind. He ventured deeper into the wilderness, the scent of wet earth filling his nostrils.

Finally, he arrived at a precipice, the cliff's edge revealing a breathtaking view. The rain-soaked landscape sprawled out before him, a mosaic of greens and grays. Dio's gaze fixated on the beauty of the potential danger below, the allure of the abyss.

He leaned against a nearby tree, the wet bark cool against his back. A mix of emotions played across his face, his eyes reflecting a sense of longing and resignation. The raindrops fell around him, blending with his thoughts as he contemplated the vastness of existence.

In that moment, Dio felt a peculiar sense of tranquility amidst the chaos. The rain served as a reminder of the fragility of life, its unpredictability. It was a reminder that even in the face of danger and uncertainty, there was a certain allure, a certain beauty that beckoned him forward.

Lost in his thoughts, Dio stood there on the edge of the cliff, embracing the rain and the mysteries that surrounded him.

Dio stood at the edge of the cliff, his gaze fixated on the swirling mist below. The raindrops danced around him, casting a melancholic ambiance over the scene. He seemed lost in his thoughts, his mind consumed by the beauty of potential death.

Suddenly, a figure lunged at Dio from behind, attempting to push him off the precipice. But with an elegant twist of his body, Dio effortlessly evaded the attack. He turned to face his assailant, a sly smile playing on his lips.

"You'll have to do better than that, Hikaru," Dio taunted, his voice laced with amusement. "If you want to defeat me, you'll need more finesse."

Hikaru's eyes narrowed, his expression a mixture of frustration and determination. He lunged at Dio once again, this time with a more calculated approach. But Dio effortlessly dodged his every move, his movements fluid and graceful.

As the two engaged in their silent dance, a phone call suddenly interrupted the intense atmosphere. Dio paused for a moment, his attention momentarily diverted. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone, recognizing the caller ID as Ai's.

"Y/N, help me!"
