Chapter 330 - Everything you said is true

*UNEDITED*

XX December 2019 - Tokyo, Kora Studios-

It was easy for Chauncey to adjust, as long as he had something to do.

Helping out with the theatre group made him adapt more to this time.

Resuming the filming after all this time. Well he shouldn't be complaining. Due to some issues with the release date schedules and another drama, they had not been able to continue with the shooting. Of course they couldn't, however - since Daiki is one of the main leads without him they cannot resume. But his company certainly have some leeway and confidence if they can prioritise another drama over this one. Somewhat it's annoying, although Setsura has longed sorted everything out with this man. He is still somewhat bothered by the presence of that man, there really is something about him that causes a natural dislike to be formed.

Chauncey familiarised himself with the people close to her, long before he came here. That Guardian called Katakura gave him only two days. Thankfully Chauncey had a good memory, otherwise it would be bad. He learned a lot and studied before he came here. But, even after he came here

Chauncey his head, he has to concentrate on his role.

He grabbed the bucket of water and threw it towards Ichiko. "Mitsu your useless."

"Cut, hmm okay next," The director said.

"Okay that's good. Let's all take a twenty minute break."

How strange. He's never disliked someone with such a passion before. Or rather the word 'dislike' or ' hate' has never existed in his dictionary. Though he did feel a form of bitterness to those who resented and held grudges against his lord. At the same time he could understand what they are thinking. It's only natural not to like your enemies Lord, you certainly cannot praise or think of them in a fond light so all that's left is hatered. Yet ever since he met Ichiko Daiki, he has not been able to sit still. He does not understand … Could it be…because of the way he looks at Sumire?

Yuma said it before and even Riku noticed it, about all the guys in Nanairo Feather. In other words their senpais being in love with her . He had known that even before he fell in love with her. It can't be that, yet he spies the brunette carefully avoiding his gaze. They've supposedly sorted everything out and yet it seems like she's still self conscious about him. Somewhat it bothers him.

Chauncey saw the other two grab Setsura's arm.

"I think it's better if you leave him alone for now."

"Your right. He has to concentrate on his role," Setsura agreed. But Chauncey felt the girl glance over at him. She probably doesn't buy that excuse. However, if there is one thing Chauncey has learned about her, it's this. 'She won't intervene unless he speaks.'

It's not as though he wants to be irritated. But, the more he thought about her relationship with this other guy he felt bothered. An ex boyfriend? He didn't think Setsura had another one other than Yang. It seemed Yang didn't know about this man either.

Chauncey gets into position, dismissing the earlier thoughts.

Scene 75.

"For this next scene, Mitsu is faced with a complicated situation regarding his growing grudge against Long. Take 1."

.....

The rest of the shoot went by with nothing happening. Before Chauncey realized it, it was already late. It's funny how quickly time goes by here. In the Meiji era, in his original time - days went by so slowly.

When Setsura asked him to accompany her back to the studio since she left something there. Chauncey took advantage od this opportunity. As cold hearted as he may seem, even he knows

"Setsura, I'm sorry about earlier today".

Setsura looked at him with a puzzled look on her face.

"What I said during the shoot. I hurt you," Chauncey said awkwardly. He was never very good at apologizing. It didn't help how he struggled to get a word in edge wise around Kaname Setsura. Is it because he understands that he has feelings for her?

She let out a small 'ah' realizing what he said. Earlier he had bumped into Ichiko and her. That wasn't the issue, as coworkers they would naturally be together. But, he saw the rwo in a rather compromising position. He understood that it was for the shoot and yet it bothered him a great deal.

"But, well now that I thought about it carefully. Everything you said is true."

"Dai-chan suddenly did something like that so I didn't know what to think. A lot of things popped in to my head and I became confused..."she trails of, "Ah sorry, you don't want to talk about these kinds of things."

Is she talking about that time? It seems

When Chauncey spotted the building, he didn't get a chance to reply.

Sersura opened the door slowly and creaked it open, "That time, I was a bit high strung," Chauncey muttered. A bit high strung? Chauncey felt very disgusted regarding his earlier behaviour. How many more ugly sides of himself does he have to show her?

"It can't be helped, we were in the middle of shooting so it's really busy," Setsura replied.

Indeed in such a tense and stressful atmosphere, it would make anyone stressed out. Yet he still found the need to apologise since she had such a regretful expression on her face. Is she truly okay with it? Chauncey liked that he was learning a lot more about her than before. Her likes, and dislikes, her other hobbies and her many different expression. It pleased him greatly to see her behaviour towards him improving. But at the same time. 'Unlike before he can't read her as well.' Back then, he already struggled to understand what she was thinking.

Perhaps he didn't truly understand her then. He ran into many complicated situations with her.

Setsura unlocks the door and they make their way inside. Unlike earlier, there was nobody else around now. The plain walls of the studio, stood out to him now it was the middle of the night. If it weren't for the lights, he would easily think it was an abandoned place.

The girl scanned the room. "There I it is. Thank goodness," Setsura made her way over and bends down under the table to fetch it. Ah, that must be the schedule. So, this was the very important item that needed fetching? If he told her, he memorized that thing, she would most-likely get mad at him.

Setsura appears to be very serious about her role behind the scenes now. It was refreshing for him to see this different side of her.

"Even when I was young, when I get too emotional I tend to hurt people, so my mother often yelled at me," Chauncey continued.

"Really?"

A bead of sweat down on Chauncey's face as he recalled it, " I was often told that I was too hot tempered."

She stopped crouching down once the schedule was in her hands, and brushes the dirt of it. " You were? It's totally different to how you are now."

Different huh, perhaps that's the case. No matter what sorts of comments that are thrown at him, he takes them calmly and rationally. He doesn't get worked up and answers as naturally as possible. The words 'hot tempered' have not been mentioned at all to him since he started working in the entertainment industry.
