Ren Honjo (4)

You and Ren had been living together for several months. Thanks to your marriage, you didn't have to hide from the paparazzi. You were truly happy. Although you rarely saw each other due to your work, the moments you spent with Ren were precious to you. And they were also precious to Ren. You truly loved each other.

Today was supposed to be the start of your band's tour in Japan, but Shin - the bassist from the band was taken to the police station. This case took a huge turn in the media and your tour was a failure. You were terribly angry at Shin, as you thought he was the one to blame for the whole thing. He was of course ashamed of himself for letting everyone down, but your anger was not fading. In the end you decided to call Ren and ask him to go on tour with your band. Of course it would be terribly selfish to take him away from his work, but you had no choice. He was the only one of your friends who played the bass guitar.
You didn't hesitate to call him.

Ren was calmly smoking in your apartment, listening to your request for his participation on the phone. His response surprised you. For some reason, you thought that he would agree without hesitation.

— Didn't you think that Shin would be sad with being easily replaced?

You became even more angry. You didn't care about Shin's feelings; you just wanted to sing. Yes, it was selfish and wrong, but you were truly out of control. Your scream and the way you scolded Shin and then Ren himself made him frown. Ren was never angry with you. But now his words made your heart stop.

— And why do you think I'd play guitar for a selfish person like you?
