Chapter 1: Broken

It was a lonely and cold night for a girl who was left on the peak of the mountain by the man whom she loved. It was her first love and he was the one who taught her about love. However, why he chose to end it suddenly. She had no idea.

<Flashback>

Three hours earlier, the white sports car pulled into the parking lot at the peak of the mountain. It was the place where both the girl and the young man met. A long midnight-blue hair girl stepped out of the car. She turned to look at her boyfriend who was the driver, waiting for him to get off.

“It’s over,” he said. “I don’t want to see you again!”

The girl seemed to be rooted to the ground. She was looking at the driver in silent as the sports car drove off.

Fujiwara Mizuki, a 16 years old girl with a midnight-blue long hair. She was about 1.72m in height with a slender bodyline. She has a sweet-looking face, resembled her mother who was a well-known doctor in one of the biggest hospital in Japan. Though she was a quiet and pretty girl, she had a past, which nobody would like to mention it.

“I am just dad’s creation. Nobody wanted,” she told herself repeatedly, as she stood at the mountain pass.

A week later, Takashita Medical Centre in Tokyo

Takashita Sara and Fujiwara Hisashi were sitting next to their dearest daughter in their anxiety. Mizuki was admitted to hospital after his nephew found her on the mountain pass near their hometown two days after she went missing. Her cousin, Takumi, and her best friend, Nanami, were waiting impatiently outside the VIP ward. Next to them was Mizuki’s elder sister, Iris, who was asleep on the bench.

“Mum, Dad, why don’t you go back and rest? I will call you once she wake up,” Mizuki’s elder brother, Sky, told the worried couple.

“We’re fine, Sky. Thanks,” Hisashi replied as he held his wife closer.

“Micky will be fine. She will be upset if she see both of you like this,” Sky said.

“Hisashi,” Sara spoke as she finally decided on something. “Do you think we need his help.”

Hisashi turned and looked at his wife with a surprise. He hated the idea of sending his dearest daughter away.

“We have to discuss about this and I don’t want to send her away again. I can’t, Sara,” the older man said with a sad voice.

Sara looked at her husband sadly, “I can’t find any way to heal her. We can’t do anything to help. He can help Micky just like what he did three year ago.”

“Why? Why did it happen again?” Hisashi said with frustration.

Sara made a call to their old friend, Takarada Lory.

“Hi Lory, this is Sara. I need you to come to my hospital as soon as you can, please,” she told the receiver.

Takashita Medical Centre in Tokyo, Conference room

Hisashi was sitting like a dead man, waiting for his friend to arrive. He was trying to prepare himself to let his daughter go with the man whom his wife trusted. Lory arrived in a formal black suit with Sara leading him into the room. She locked the door and joined the men at the large table.

“Long time no see, Hisashi,” Lory greeted his friend. “You look half-dead now.”

“Yeah! I am,” Hisashi replied in frustration. “I don’t want to think about leaving my precious princess with a person like you.”

“Oh, in that case, I should leave, huh?” Lory said with an evil grin.

“Stop it, Hisashi,” Sara told her husband. “We need his help if you want Micky to recover.”

Lory raised his eyebrow when he heard the girl name, “What’s wrong with Micky?”

“She is in kind of,” Sara said. “Actually, it is her who shut herself and doesn’t any will to live. She seems to give up her life.”

“She had been lying on the bed for a week and refused to give us any response. This is the worst than the last time,” Hisashi added.

“What happened earlier?” Lory asked with concerns, as he also adored the girl.

“I don’t know, but I heard from my nephew that she has a boyfriend,” Sara replied.

“But that boy didn’t come to visit nor call to check on her,” Hisashi added.

“I don’t know if I could help but I will try. Hisashi, if she is willing to go with me, I hope you will not interfered,” Lory said in a serious tone.

“But when can I see her again then?” Hisashi asked.

“When she is strong enough to come back to you own her own?” Lory replied. “And this is a secret so you know what to do, right?”

Hisashi nodded.

VIP Ward No. 1001

Hisashi and Sara brought Lory to see her daughter. All her children were there as well. Lory walked over to the girl who was lying on the bed.

“Hey, little girl. Wouldn’t you want to find something better to do than lying here?” Lory asked.

Mizuki opened her eyes and slowly moved her gaze to meet the older man. She stared at the old man without showing any of her emotion. This was what Mizuki was habit whenever she shut herself in her little world.

Lory grinned, “Probably better than what you’re doing right now.”

Mizuki nodded lightly and slowly sat up. She sat face to face with Lory and looked into his eyes like she was searching for something.

“Aki,” Lory called out the name. It was her stage name that she used when she first entered the entertainment industry three years ago.

“Boss,” she responded. Her eyes were shut as she sat upright.

“Welcome back,” Lory said with a smile.

“I will see you at the office later,” Mizuki told Lory as she opened her eyes. Her gazes were filled with life once again, as she transformed herself into Takashita Aki.

Lory smiled, “See you later.”

Mizuki smiled back, “Nice to meet you again, Boss!”

Lory looked at the girl once again before he left the ward. Hisashi and Sara were relief to see their daughter finally responded. Mizuki slowly moved her gaze to her parents. She knew that they were worried.

“Daddy, sorry. I’m sorry,” she said softly as she bowed.

Hisashi patted her head lightly, like what he used to do. “Take care and do visit us whenever you can, Aki-Chan.”

Mizuki nodded, “Take care too. Don’t work too hard.”

Mizuki then got into the bathroom and prepared herself to leave the hospital. She got out in a white T-shirt and a pair of jeans. She put on her Ray-Ban sunglass. She turned to her parents one last time before she left.

“I will be back when I am stronger. Sorry to make both of you worried,” she said and left the hospital.

“Micky, we love you,” Hisashi told his daughter before she disappeared from his sight.

LME Building, President’s Office

Aki followed Lory into his office before the doors were shut. She comfortably sat on the red sofa, looking around the place curiously. It was different from the last time she saw the old man. Lory made a few phone calls to arrange for some work to be done afterward. He walked over to the girl with a cup of tea for her.

“Aki,” Lory called the girl to attention before he started to brief her on his agenda he had for her.

“Life is just a game. What I want from you is simple; just be yourself. Since you have been out of the scene for three years, you will have to start al over again. My rule of this game is still the same. You must become the most successful artist in Japan and…” he paused.

“I want you to be loved by everyone and find your love. Once you achieved it, you’re free to do whatever you want. Understand?” he asked.

Mizuki looked at Lory with a question in her mind. She nodded, “Yes, boss.”

Lory handed the girl a notebook, “I want you to keep a diary. Just write anything you feel, see.”

Aki took the notebook in her hand.

“So first of all, I think you need a new look,” he said.

Aki nodded.

Half an hour later, Ms. Jelly Woods, the makeup artist, arrived at the office. She was surprised when she saw a girl at Lory’s office. The President then asked her to transform this girl to a 16 years old school girl. Jelly was scratching her head with the order.

“Boss, doesn’t she already look like a 16 years old girl?” Jelly looked up and down Aki who was standing in front of her.

“I mean I want Aki to look different from what she is now,” Lory replied boringly as he focused on the latest romantic drama.

“Ok, I got it!” Jelly said and took Aki to the dressing room immediately.

An hour later, Aki came back with Jelly after her transformation. Lory looked at the new Aki. Her hair was dyed to Aki brown with red highlights. Jelly had cut it to layer as well. She put on some light makeup in shade of pink so Aki looked more cheerful. Aki was now wearing a new black shirt with three buttons down and a pair of white denim shorts.

“Do you like it, Aki?” Lory asked the girl.

Aki nodded.

“Good job, Jelly. You may leave as I have some words with Aki,” Lory said, as he watched his staff left the room.

“Lastly, you must smile no matter what,” he told the girl.

Aki smiled brightly as she nodded. The next person she met was none other Tsuruga Ren, the number one actor in Japan. He came with his manager, Yashiro Yukihito.

“Good, you’re always on time,” Lory greeted his favorite staff and turned to the only girl in the room. “Aki, I want you to get to know Ren as you will be working with him.”

“I’m Takashita Aki. Nice to meet you, Tsuruga-san,” she introduced herself and offered a handshake.

“I’m Tsuruga Ren, Nice to meet you too. And this is Yashiro Yukihito, my manager,” Ren introduced himself and his manager.

He then looked at Lory, wondering what was the older man’s plan again. He did not have a good feeling about this and this girl looked so familiar to him. After the discussion with Lory, three of them left the room.

Inside Ren’s Car

“It looks like you have to her baby-sitter this new girl,” Yashiro said.

Ren smiled, but Aki could see that his smile was just a mask. ‘Ren, your smile cannot fool me. I must master this skill.’

“Takashita-san, President asked me to bring you for shopping so where would you like to go?” Ren asked.

“Anywhere convenient as I just need to get some necessary stuff,” she replied politely without forgetting a smile.

Ren then realized that she had no luggage or anything with her.

“I will drop Yashiro-san off first before we can do some shopping later,” he told the girl.

Aki nodded with a smile.

Ren brought Aki to Ginza that afternoon. He was gentlemanly helping Aki on choosing the clothes. He was surprised with her choice of clothes as she grabbed mainly shirt and shorts. He walked to the cashier where Aki was waiting with a handful of T-shirt, jeans and skirt.

“We will take this as well,” he told the cashier who was smiling, as she thought that the famous Tsuruga Ren was shopping with his ‘newly found’ girlfriend.

“Let’s go,” he then led her to the next shop.

“Tsuruga-san, I am hungry. Can we have some bite first?” Aki asked, as she had not eaten anything for days.

Ren looked down at the girl and nodded, “Let me put these in the car and we’ll go for dinner, ok?”

Aki nodded with a smile.

It was 9.00 pm when they reached his apartment. Aki and Ren were carrying shopping bags to his apartment. He showed Aki the guest room where it would be her ‘permanent’ bedroom from now on.

“Make yourself at home and you may use anything here, including kitchen,” Ren told the girl and slowly stopped in front of his bedroom. “But do not enter my room, as I still prefer to have some privacy.”

Aki nodded, noted on his stern warning tone. Aki watched Ren entered his room and she started to pack her stuff. Inside her room, she was looking around it. It was smaller than the room she used to have at her house. She shook her head, trying to get off any old memory. She slowly arranged the clothes in the wardrobe and makeup items on the dressing table. She took a quick glance at the digital clock; it was midnight. She needed a bath and sleep. Aki quickly got into the bathroom for quick shower. She then set the alarm clock and went to bed.
