Terumichi had been sitting in the dressing room waiting to be interviewed. He looked up everytime the door opened and this time Cassie came in bringing a smile to his face.

“I’m so glad you’re here!” He said meeting her halfway.

“You’re actually nervous about something?” Cassie said.

“Just because I do this often doesn’t mean I can’t get nervous.” She smiled, “But really it’s just because I know what they’re going to ask me.”

“What is it?” She asked as they sat down.

“Well, my manager told me they were thinking of letting me act in something and this place is planning on making a live action version of this web drama and they’re considering me for the role.”

“That’s good!” She said, Why the fuck are you upset about this?

“Yeah but… I know that drama and it’s really heavy in it’s romance. They said I’d most likely be casted as the main male lead and he winds up in a relationship with the female lead.” Terumichi explained.

“That’s normal in romance stories." Cassie stated as a matter of fact.

“I know, but-” Will you spit it out already? “It’s just because I don’t really want to kiss anyone.”

“Why?”

“It’s for a personal reason,” Okay. “But I really just don’t want to do it.” Cassie stated at him. She pretty much figured why he didn’t want to do this, so she decided to say this in a way that wouldn’t implicate herself.

“Michi," She got his attention, "It’s just acting. Nothing you do in this role will define you and the life you want to live after this. Just because you kiss her doesn’t mean you really mean it. She might even be a bad kisser.” He laughed a bit, “But whatever you’re thinking about, just consider that this is your real life. No one will be affected by this role or any role you do in the future, okay?” Terumichi stared at her before a smile broke out on his face.

“Okay, I get it… this is just a role. What I want is much more than that, because it’s not a movie. It’s real life!” She nodded to him, Terumichi smiled and got up when he was called to go out. “Thanks Cassie! It really means a lot.” She nodded to him and he left out to go and get interviewed. Cassie turned to where no one was and let out a small sigh. I swear, these guys are so hopped up on me.

“Hey,” She turned and saw one of the staff members, “He was talking about that before you got here… you do know why’s he worried, don't you?” She nods.

“Yeah, it was about me wasn’t it?” The staff member held back a laugh, “It’s really obvious, but what am I going to do about it?” She explained. He just smiled and shrugged.

“You do keep him working though.” Cassie had to laugh at that. I guess I can continue to be a positive influence.
