Chapter Six Trying Again
It wasn’t difficult to imagine how couples felt when they lived far away from each other, since I was experiencing it too. Ryo and Ken were in Japan and I was in the U.S.
So the first romance movie went pretty well.
I always felt happy when my my name appeared in the end screen.
I enjoyed shopping in Hollywood like a celebrity and walking around, but I wished Ryo was here with me.
I began to star in comedies and even action movies.
At first I didn’t have any friends, but I began to enjoy shopping and having meals with an American friend named Nicole.
A few days ago, I received a letter from Ken which said he saw me starring in a movie.
I was happy, but I wished I were closer to him.
“Do you think I can go back to Japan?”
“Are you okay with that?”
'Ryo, please don’t say that...'
That day, I went to a beach by myself. As I saw the sun descending into the ocean, I shouted, “Stupid sun!”
Didn’t Ryo need me? Didn’t he love me?
When I called my sister, she was kind and said I could come home to her house.
I went back to Japan in secret and didn’t take any contact with Ryo. Maybe I was a little mad at him.
“You’ve always lacked sense in choosing your lover.” My sister said.
“How do you know if a man loves you?”
“Well... Can’t you see from his eyes?”
“I can’t.”
“Oh.”
