Mishounen Produce Chapter 7

Sorry for the delay, here you go! ^^

CHAPTER 7 SPOILERS!!

Kako took up a new drama project on behalf of Kousei as his producer. This time, it is a television drama series. Both of them reached their shooting destination (for the drama) after 8 hours of travelling. It was the JUMON editor who told Kako about the drama, and it wasn’t any ordinary drama series, the theme of the drama was “Genji Monogatari” (google is your best friend ^^). Kako was saying that she is a big fan of Genji Monogatari with a very forced expression, and Kousei was talking by the side, saying something like “a big fan of shoujo mangas” (I think he was referring to Kako indirectly xD). Kako mentioned that no matter how the generations may change, love stories will continue to be something that girls go crazy about. Kousei suddenly kinda pounced on her from behind with a piece of paper in front of her, telling Kako to concentrate more on reality, and asked if his role in the drama is on the same level as the person on the piece of paper, which is Tomoe senpai.

It appears that Tomoe is actually the main lead for Genji Monogatari, so for the both of them who wants to be famous, Tomoe is their goal and their rival. After getting changed, Kousei starts filming for the drama. It ended shortly for Kousei’s part, and he complains that it took less than 2 seconds. Actually, the JUMON editor had already told Kako that when Kousei took up his role, there wasn’t even a name or a script for him, so Kako thinks that for a job that was just taken up yesterday, it will be unfair for someone who has just started acting. She started explaining to Kousei about why they had to start out at this low-level way (like having minor roles) which is what the majority of people do. She thinks that Kousei will be able to become famous overnight, and he smiled at her.

Next, Kako went to ask someone from the filming crew if he is in need of handsome guys, and started promoting Kousei to him. Indeed, Kousei got another role, but it was still a minor role (seems like some kinda hard labour role). Kako was like what?! The crew member wanted to give Kousei more minor roles (he was dragging Kousei lol), and Kako was like trying to stop the director lol!

The scene changes to someone exclaiming to Tomoe that it was fabulous as Tomoe was able to portray his role in a very persuasive manner which not many actors are able to do it, and if Genji Monogatari really exists, it will be similar to the drama. He also said that it’s mainly due to Tomoe that they are able to film this drama (basically he’s bootlicking Tomoe). It turns out that the person is the director of the drama. Tomoe replied that the director over praised him. The director said he wasn’t exaggerating, Genji has always been praised by others. To this, Tomoe said Genji is the same as him (meaning both of them were often praised by others).

When Tomoe appears, Kako was staring at him, and thought that that is Tomoe senpai’s Genji (he was in his Genji outfit). Tomoe looked towards Kako’s direction. He went over and talked to her, “You showing up here (at the shooting location) means that you have the intention of continuing in the entertainment industry?” (cause in chapter 6 she couldn’t meet Kousei due to some reason and she questioned herself on why did the both of them entered the entertainment industry when they can’t meet up) Kako replied yes. Tomoe then asked about Kousei’s whereabouts and Kako replied that he’s in front selling vegetables (for his role). Tomoe: “Then, please tell him this. To celebrate his television series debut, I will go over to his side to buy a pumpkin later.” (Guess he’s trying to insult Kousei) Kako was like what? Tomoe then ask the director whether Kousei’s roles have been decided, and the director replied that he was still considering. Kako wonder why Tomoe is so mindful of matters that involve Kousei and said that the previous time Tomoe senpai also came to ask her about Kousei. But compared to that, she has to solve the problems that are in front of her (meaning she decided not to think about why Tomoe is so mindful of Kousei). She thinks that Kousei has the ability to act as the western style of Genji (which is Lawrence LOL) and everyone will notice him if he had a better role. If Kousei had the role of Genji, he will surely be able to beat Tomoe senpai hands down. A girl appeared saying “Kousei?” it seems like Kako knows her (sorry I don’t know how to translate her name in English…). She’s a pretty well known actress who will be acting in Genji Monogatari, has filmed 5 CFs (commercials), won some beauty competition etc. So she asked Kako if she’s the one who has just spoken to Tomoe and asked who’s Kousei. Then a picture of Kousei shows up, it was him working hard in his role as a farmer with mud on his hand wiping his sweat away, but he’s still sparkling LOL. Kako’s expression was priceless, she gave the totally jaw-dropped face lol! Kousei was harvesting crops in his latest role and Kako didn’t know of it. She feared that when Kousei is close to the nature, he will eventually show his wild personality as a village boy. She explained to the actress that Kousei’s look is temporary for that (farmer) role, in fact he is actually more handsome than that. The actress just smiled at her and said something like he is just a newcomer and is worst to the max. Kako replied that the way she said is too disrespectful (YES YOU MEAN GIRL!), and basically, Kako wouldn’t let her say something like worst to the max (when it concerns Kousei xD). After saying that, the actress laughed like a mad woman, and said that the one who’s disrespectful is Kako because she’s (and referring to Kousei probably) just a newcomer, but still have the nerve to overtake the main lead, isn’t that being disrespectful? Besides she thinks that Kousei is not impressive and she couldn’t even use him and Tomoe as comparison. Kako tries to interrupt by saying that it’s impossible as she always believe- the actress cuts in saying that Kako look terrible, just because she likes Kousei that is why she thinks so highly of him, however Kako tries to deny it. (Wow! Even an outsider can see that Kako likes Kousei!)

The scene change to Kousei asking if his real television debut is just him acting on minor roles, however he feels that compared to being a model, it (acting as minor roles) is more meaningful. Kousei looks at Kako who appeared to be in a daze and asked her what happened and she replied nothing. She was thinking about the things that the actress had said to her. Kousei called her name and asked her what happened (again). She took a step back and hit onto some boxes and fell down with the drama’s outfits all around her (the boxes contain the outfits). Kousei was saying that indeed there is something wrong with her and she continues to deny it and said even though they are childhood friends, she wasn’t being bias to him, which is why she thinks Kousei is really handsome and it is not only her, but whoever sees Kousei will feel the same (Duhhh). At this point, Kousei was holding something like a flute and he used it to lift Kako’s spectacles, and told her calm down. There was a conversation between Tomoe and the director which was near Kousei and Kako, and Tomoe happened to see Kousei playing the flute for Kako who was still sitting down with the outfits around her (and of course without specs!! xD), the director was also looking at them! And yes, Tomoe saw Kako’s true appearance. After finished playing the flute, Kousei said to her: “Look, whatever happened, you just need to look at me.” (Awww I’m melting…) Kako was blushing away!! Kousei started talking about the sound produced by the flute which is made of forest trees’ wood sounds good (Kousei!! That was seriously out of topic! You just made her blush and now you talk about nature!).

Suddenly, the director point towards their direction and asked for Kousei’s name. Someone said Kousei (I think it was Kousei who said it) and Kako immediately picks up her spectacles and put it on. She asked if the director is in need of any handsome guy. She believes that she is not the only one who is able to feel Kousei’s charisma, and it is not because she is in love with Kousei. OMG SHE FINALLY ADMIT THAT SHE IS IN LOVE WITH KOUSEI!!!!! xD

End of chapter 7!
