Chapter One [The Lady with no Romance]

(Rustling sound)

“Yawn!!!”

“Gosh this is a really tiring day!” Miyuki stretches her hand as she walks outside their office. Today, everyone was busy, she has to complete all the paper works and has to submit a new story to her Editor in chief. She has been bugging her to create a comic about romance; she never wrote a pure love story before. Her story genre was always been about Sci-fi, magic and shounen (adventure)

LAST WEEK

“What? But Ren I don't want to draw a boring love story!” Miyuki complained about the story Ren wants her to do.

“Miyuki, you have to consider what I’ve said to you. Our company is growing and you as a popular comic artist, in order for you to stay relevant you have to make a new content with a different genre this time” Ren explained to her.

(Sigh) “Ren, it’ll be hard for me. What do I know about romance and couples? You know I’ve never been in a relationship” T__T

"Well, maybe it’s time for you to consider having a boyfriend. I can set up a blind date for you, I can ask my husband to help me look for your date” Ren said while grinning.

(Rolled eyes) “You’re crazy, I’d rather read a lot of shoujo manga or books about romance than having a date with some random guys”

"Well Miyuki, I'm serious about it. Have you read some comments on your blog? your fans are requesting you to make a new comic, they want something new." Ren seemed to be eager.

"But Ren.." T____T

"My dear Miyuki, I'll give you two weeks leave. When you come back, please make sure to submit a draft about your new project" Ren said with a serious face "This is for you own good please consider it."

(sigh) "Alright then, I'll take it. But I'll be taking my leave next week"

"Yes! no problem!" (giggles) "Miyuki thank you! trust me, I know you can do it. You're one of the best artist in our company!" Ren giggles again while shaking her shoulders "Just let me know if you'll consider doing a blind date! I'd be happy to set one for you hehehe!" ^____^

PRESENT DAY

Miyuki

Guess, Ren is right. In order to stay relevant I have to write something new. "HAH! I am Miyuki Jin! I can do this! (evil laugh) easy peasy!"

Let me start with some romance book (read, read, read)

AN HOUR LATER

(ughck!) T__T maybe it's true that my heart is made out of stone, so hard and so cold! I couldn't feel anything while reading these books. (Threw the book)

"What's wrong with me ugh?" (Frown) 'how the hell will I start to create a romance based comic?'

(Stomach crumbled) time checked, its 1:30 pm. haven’t had lunch yet, I was so occupied that I forgot to eat. I guess I have to eat outside now that it's late, have to do some groceries too...

(burp) "I’m full! The food was so good! Hey Yana! Where’s Brenda? I haven't seen her around" Miyuki's eating in her favorite Ramen house owned by her cousin Yana and Brenda, they're twins. They grew up together, went to the same school from middle school to college.

"She went out of town; you were kind of busy these days too so what's up?" Yana sat down next to her

"Yeah, I was busy doing some paper stuff but I am on a 2 weeks leave right now" she answered while drinking her warm water.

"I see! So I guess we could hang out somewhere tonight? Let’s go to Nightview!" Yana's talking about their favorite nightclub; it's exclusively for the elites. It has VIP rooms too.

"Sure! I happen to have a new comic project about romance maybe I can get some ideas later on how people flirt" (laughed)

"Oh? that's sounds interesting so you're planning to learn how to flirt huh?" Yana teasing her

"Of course not, I said I am going to see people flirt!" (hmp!)

(Grinning) "My dearest Miyuki Jin, if you want this project to be successful you have to experience love yourself"

"I am different; I don't need to experience it. All I need is to see how people fall in love, and read books or novels for more Ideas!" she explained.

"hmmn, we'll see! But I'm telling you, it really feels good to fall in love. When you experience love, love itself will teach you the best lessons in life"

"Diana Clarince Jin, this conversation is getting weirder! Don’t tell me, you're in love?" (Rolled eyes)

(Giggles) "Well, I guess I am"

(Stands up) "What? And you didn't tell me about it?"

"Well uh, you know it's kind of complicated...” Yana explained while scratching her head

"Hmp! okay, I won't bother you anymore. Whenever you're ready to tell me about it, just don't hesitate to talk to me alright?" (Smile) "I'll be heading out; I need to buy some groceries. See you later!"

"Okay! See you!"

Then Miyuki went straight to the supermarket.

SUPERMARKET

Miyuki is currently picking up some instant Ramen in the noodles section when she suddenly remembers that she forgot to buy some toilet tissues. While going where the tissues are, she bumped into a guy who seems like running and in a hurry.

"Move!" the guy suddenly pushed her that makes her fall into the box of tissues.

'What a lucky day' Miyuki said in her mind while trying to stand up (thug!) 'Oh f*ck' she exclaimed as the tissues from the rack fell into her head.

"What the heck? Hey jerk look what you've done!" She exclaimed again but the guy didn't look back and continued to walk away.

She left with no choice so she started to pick up the tissues on the floor and returned it to the rack.

"Poor me always running into troubles" (sigh)

"you should ask for help from the workers here Miss" Miyuki turned around to see the owner of the voice and saw a fine looking young lady, she seemed to be a rich girl even though she's wearing a simple yellow t-shirt with a sunflower design paired with a white mini skirt.

"Thanks but I wouldn't want to bother them, I can do this by myself" Miyuki replied with a smile on her face.

"Let me help you instead" said by the lady, her smile feels so warm for Miyuki and she seemed to be very kind.

"Thanks that'd be a great help but it may delay you from doing your groceries so...” Miyuki said hesitantly

"No it won't bother me I'm not in a hurry" the lady already started to pick up some tissues

"Thanks a lot Miss, my name's Miyuki by the way"

"My name's Clara, nice to meet you Miyuki" the young lady flashes a warm smile again and Miyuki finds her really elegant.

"She’s so beautiful and kind, I hope I had a sister like her" Miyuki said in her mind

20 minutes later...

"Phew!! Thanks God it's done, and thanks to you Clara for helping a stranger like me" Miyuki smiled towards Clara

"That's alright" (shy laugh) Clara replied

"Clara, I would like to invite you for a snack since you helped me. My treat"

"Wow sure! I would love to." Clara giggles and looked very excited.

Miyuki brought Clara to her favorite Ice cream shop

"Clara, is it okay to have our snack here? They sell a very delicious ice cream cake here! Would you like to give it a try?" Miyuki asked since she's not sure if this lady likes to eat ice cream

"Wow really? I would love to try their ice cream cake, it's my favorite!" Clara said while smiling widely

"Ice cream cake is your favorite too? OMG let's go then!" Miyuki flashes a smile

"This must be fate; this lady seemed to be very kind. I would love to be her friend" Clara said in her mind.

She never had a best friend; all of her classmates are avoiding her because she came from a powerful and wealthy family. Miyuki seemed to be years older than her but she gave her a feeling of warmth and sincerity. Clara is looking forward for friendship

"but I must be thinking in advance, maybe she is just kind to me because I helped her earlier"

"Clara, what flavor would you like to have?" Miyuki asked

"I'd like to try their strawberry cheesecake, I never had one before" Clara was referring to the cheesecake topped with strawberry ice cream

"It's really good! Already tried it before but I'll order red velvet flavor this time" (Smile)

After some time

"Miyuki, this place is heaven! I'm really fan of sweets and desserts" Clara is really happy that she found this place because of Miyuki. "This will be my new favorite place, thanks to you"

"I'm glad you liked it here" Miyuki said with a sweet smile

"Miyuki can I have your contact number? I know it's quite weird but you really give me a warm feeling even though this is just the first time we've met. Uh, I would like to meet you again someday, can you be my friend?" Clara said with a shy expression.

"Of course Why -"

"Miss Clara we've been looking for you! President Song called in and wants you to be at the villa for dinner" Miyuki didn't finished her words because these men in black appeared.

"Oh Miyuki I got to go, my brother wants to see me tonight"

"Ok, here's my number then ********"

"Thanks Miyuki I'll contact you later! See you!" (Waved)

"See you!"

15 minutes later after Clara left, Miyuki headed home too. She almost forgot that she promised Yana that she'll go out with her tonight.
