Let Me be His Replacement

Working with you [3]

Third Person's POV

The last three days, Naoto and Ichigo went on with their usual daily routine. They both anticipated for the day of shooting, after all it is their first time working together. They smiled and hummed to themselves as the day of shooting approaches.

Ichigo's POV

As I opened my eyes, I looked to my clock on my bedside. It's 5:25 am and it's shooting day. I smiled as I quickly got up from bed and went to do my personal hygiene. I decided to eat at the studio, so once I'm finished I got dressed and packed my things. I prepared a sandwhich for me to eat on the way, I placed it on my mouth and ran out. I reached the school gates to see my van, my driver looked at me surprised as I greeted him. We went inside the van to go to the studio.

We arrived at the studio. I opened the door to see the saff working on their tasks and preparing the set.
"Good morning Hoshimiya-san!" a voice greeted, I turned to the voice to see Maruno-san
"Good morning Maruno-san!" I greeted back as I bowed
"You're pretty early. You must be excited for the shooting" he said,
"Yeah. I couldn't contain my excitement!" I exclaimed, Maruno-san laughed as I smiled.
"Anyhow, here's the script. Your suggestions are already in there" he said as he handed me a script for the commercial. I took it from his hands and opened to see the cast. I gave him a close eyed smile
"Thank you Maruno-san. I'll do my best!" I said, he only smiled and attended to the other staff that needed help.

I walked to a chair to sit down and read through the script. Distracted from reading, I didn't notice the person who was behind me
"Hey Ichigo" the person said, recognizing the voice I turned around to see Naoto. I widened my eyed as I stood up
"Uh-Naoto! Good morning!" I greeted as I bowed
"Good morning" he greeted back,
"Mind if I sit with you?" he asked,
"Uh.. o-of course!" I stammered as I smiled nervously and gestured to the seat next to mine. He only nodded as he took his seat and I sat back down. I opened the script to the page I was in earlier, as I was reading I constantly glance at Naoto. He also had a script with him, he held the script on his left hand as his right arm rested across his chest. 'He looks so cool!' I thought as my cheeks turn pink. He then glances at me, my face turned red embarrassed from getting caught and hid my face on the script. He only looked at me for a while then returned to the script.

Silence filled the air and it was getting a bit awkward. I exhaled silently and decided to start a conversation
"Uh.. Naoto.." I called, he hummed in response telling me he was listening
"Is this your first commercial?" I asked, he closed the script and placed it on the table and leaned back as he crossed his arms
"Not really. I've been in some before but I was with my bandmates. This is my first time alone" he answered in his usual tone
"I see. What do you think of the script?" I asked, he glanced at the script then looked at me
"It's fine. I'm pretty sure we can pull it off" he replied, I then gave him a smile
"Yeah! Let's do our best!" I said as I held a fist, his cheeks turned pink as he looked the other way.

~A few minutes later~

Third Person's POV

"Okay! Everyone please be on standby!" Maruno-san announced as everyone took their places. Ichigo and Naoto have changed into their outfits (refer to pic above, and the blue and white color on her uniform is switched) and took their places in the set
"Okay! Rolling in 3! 2! 1!" he yelled as the lights dimmed except for the lights in the set.

(I'mma just use their names for less confusion ^_^)

Ichigo walked through the streets as it rained. She didn't care, no matter how she holds it in her tears threatened to come out. She stopped walking as a tear fell and more tears followed, she sniffled as she wiped her tears with her arms and continued to walk. She stopped in her tracks again and looked at the cafe, she gulped as she walked in. Her friend, Naoto, who was working there notices his friend all wet from the rain. He quickly got a towel and went to her
"Ichigo! Are you okay? Here, dry yourself. You might catch a cold" Naoto said as he gave Ichigo the towel which she took and started drying herself.
"What are you doing he-" he was about to ask but stopped himself as tears fell from Ichigo's eyes. He widened his eyes for a moment and placed his hands on her shoulder
"Hey, what happened?" he asked clearly worried, Ichigo sniffled a little before she spoke
"We.. broke up.." she muttered which was loud enough for Naoto to here. He furrowed his brows as he clicked his tongue
"I knew he was a jerk who would hurt you in the end" Naoto said, Ichigo was still crying. His expression softened as he wiped her tears, Ichigo stiffened as her heart started pounding, she told herself to calm down since they were in the middle of shooting
"Don't cry now, forget the idiot. Come" he said as he dragged her to a seat by the window. Ichigo sat down as she sniffled
"Wait here. I'll make you something" Naoto said as he went to the kitchen of the cafe.
