Ep4

Clover: Now that it’s opened… don’t you want to have a try?

Kiro looked at me in surprise.

Clover: One chip couldn’t hurt, right?

Kiro hesitated for 2 seconds and took the chip.

Kiro: Thanks! Um… do you like chips?

Clover: Yes, this is my favorite flavor.

Kiro: You like this flavor? Okay, I’ll keep that in mind.

He looked into my eyes and let out a smile. Even though I know smiling at fans is his job, I couldn’t help but feel my face get all flushed.

Kiro: Thanks. I have to go now. Next time we meet. I’ll bring my favorite snack to share with you.

Clover: Um… hey, wait a minute! Kiro!

He turned back suddenly and drew very close.

Kiro: Shhh!

Clover: Sorry, I forgot again…

I gathered my confidence and tool out my business card.

Clover: Actually, I’m a producer at M.K. Company. I’d like to invite you to the last episode of Miracle Finder – We can pay you a lot!

Kiro: Is Miracle Finder ending? When I was a kid, I would wait in front of the TV for it to come on every day.

Clover: Yeah, we’ve lost funding, so… I want to end on a high note. Your fans say you have the superpower to make everyone fall in love with you. I think a Miracle Finder episode like that would definitely attract viewers, right?

Kiro: So wait, now I get to be one of the superhumans on Miracle Finder? But… then, what would I do? Stare at the audience and think “Love me… Love me…”?

Clover: Haha! Um… maybe some singing or a performance? Or I was thinking, maybe talk about how you come up with your songs and performances? About your creative process, and how you do that love-at-first-sight thing—

As I prattle on about my thoughts for the show, I suddenly realized Kiro has turned all quiet.

Clover: What? You don’t like this direction? Of course, it’s just some preliminary ideas…

Kiro: No, it’s settled! I’ll do it! Let’s just go back and find my agent!

Clover: Really! That’s great!

Then I thought of the agent’s reply to me just then and fell into despair again.

Clover: Actually, I just came from B.S., and your agent turned me down already…

Kiro, who was so excited at first, fell into a similar despair at hearing those words.

Kiro: Sorry… It’s such a special show. I really want to be a part of it. But… I don’t really decide my schedule.

Even a big celebrity has moments of helplessness. Seeing Kiro’s trouble expression, I felt I just had to comfort him.

Clover: Um… it’s okay! I’m still gonna do all I can do to make the last show great… Will you watch?

Kiro: Of course. I wouldn’t miss it. And later… If you have others shows, will you invite me again to be on one of those?

To a producer, such a question is like a gift from heaven.

Clover: Of course! I’ll have a thorough plan prepared! – Oh, can I have you contact info?
