MY LOVELY AUTHOR'S

RECHARGE ENERGY

            What happened next, you must have expected it. Status “lover” Arata sticks well to me. The publisher's office where I was under contract, flooded with the sound of the phone ringing. The calls came from reporters and journalists who wanted to interview me directly about my relationship with Arata. Because at the press conference I didn't say much and gave an explanation, now.

            Author Wallflower, the lucky woman who could attract Arata.

            Author Wallflower, the luckiest woman in the country. The woman who is now known as Arata's lover.

            The Waallflower Author. One of the ten successful authors who hid her identity during this time and it turns out is the famous Arata-actor woman who was made an online husband of a million women in this country.

            I could only shake my head to see the thousands of articles about myself that were now spreading widely in a fairly short time.

            Xx1: I'm really jealous of Author Wallflower. Not only is she good at writing and occupying one of the top ten positions of a famous Author, the ever-abashed Wallflower Author reveals herself to look quite beautiful in her simplicity. No wonder our Arata fell in love with her.

            Yy1 replied to xx1's comment: Right, seeing the press conference that Author Wallflower even gave a big difference when appearing without makeup and using makeup when sitting next to Arata. Without makeup or using makeup, Author Wallflower should be praised for her natural beauty.

            Xx2: Arata and Author Wallflower's love story is like a romantic story in novels that exist only in the delusion of many women. Despite wearing a black hat and mask that covered her face, Arata was able to recognize the Wallflower Author and ran down from the podium to hug the Wallflower Author who was standing in the middle of her crowd of fans.

            Xx1 replied to xx2's comment: I must admit that live broadcasts are like movie scenes in romantic movies. Arata's embrace was truly dramatic and made everyone who saw it freeze as if time stopped like a freeze and slow motion effect.

            Yy2 replied to xx2 comments: I must admit Arata and Author Wallflower are a matching couple. They are definitely crowned as the sensational and best couple of the year.

            Xx3 replied to xx2's comment: I hope both of them will join a reality show that shows their daily lives as lovers.

            Xx2 replied to xx3 comment: I also want to see it.

            Xx1 replied to xx2's comment: Given how previously Author Wallflower was hit by a scandal, I'm sure artist B must have been jealous of Author Wallflower.

            Xx2 replied to xx1's comment: I also thought the same thing.

            Zz1: However I see it Author Wallflower does not deserve to be on Arata's side.

            Xx1 replied to zz1's comment: As an Arata fan, you should support Arata's choice.

            Yy1 replied to comment zz1: Don't say if you envy Author Wallflower just as much as Artist B.

            I shut down my laptop after reading the comment columns in the articles that were talking about me. I leaned my body against my chair and stared at the ceiling in my apartment. The all-white view on the ceiling of my apartment, made me remember all the things I recently did together with Arata as her lover.

            “Author, let's eat together!”

            Arata really took advantage of our adjoining apartment. Arata used my apartment as an address for him to order food and various other items. Whenever I have free time, Arata will come to my apartment just to sit and eat in front of my TV. Arata will come to eat when he has an empty schedule. The way we dated was unlike most couples who spent more time outside: walking together, holding hands, eating together, playing to tourist attractions together and taking photos together.

            “What are you doing, Author?”

            “How about we cook together today?”

            “What do you want to eat today, Author?”

            “Author, I want to watch this movie. What if we watch it together?”

            The dates we used to do were sit in front of the TV inside my apartment, watch movies and eat together. Sometimes Arata and I would eat together or Arata would just sit quietly in front of my TV while I was busy working on my sixth novel. Or if we didn't have time to meet because of Arata's busy schedule, Arata would just ask me to come out to my balcony and see my face.

            “What kind of speech is that?” reply me to Arata who is connected by a call to my phone. “Are you seducing me, really annoying?”

            “These are words from inside my heart. Seeing Author's face, hearing Author's voice and hugging Author's body, it feels like it has been able to give me a lot of energy.” Arata looked at me with deep eyes and a happy smile on his face.

            “Then. . . You don't have to hug me, don't have to come to my apartment and just look at me from your balcony like this.”

            “It can't be done, Author. Hugging you will charge up to 87% energy, seeing your smile will fill my energy up to 65%, hearing your voice will charge up to 40% energy and seeing you from a distance like this will only fill up to 25%.”

            “You are very good at making seduction.” I replied to Arata by staring intently at him.

            “That's not seduction, Author. My words are honest from my heart, Author. Hugging Author and smelling your scent, brings me back to energy.”

            I suddenly shuddered at Arata's words. I even moved my feet slightly away from Arata's sight. “Stop saying things like that, Arata!!”

            Arata smiled at my ban on him. “I won't say it again. But why didn't Author ask why your hug only filled my energy up to 87% and not 100%?”

            “I don't have to ask you that, Arata. I already know what you think when you say 87%.”

            “Hahahaha.”  

Arata laughed at me hearing my words. The laughter only appeared for a moment and then Arata's face became solemn. His thumb rubbed his reddish lips due to the makeup on his face and the gesture was enough in response to the conjecture in my mind. My guess with what Arata thinks is the same.

“No Excitement, Author!!! You read my mind first!!”

“I'm a writer, Arata. Reading other people's minds is something I often do for characters in my writing.”

This time. . . Arata bit his lip and tried to tease me again. “My energy can be filled up to 100% if Author wants to receive a kiss from me. And I know. . . That's not something Author can do easily as long as Author still hasn't accepted me as Author's lover by 100%.”

“You're not angry?” manya curious.

Arata shook his head. “No. I appreciate Author and every Author's choice. I'm willing to wait for you for whatever, Author. It's just. .”

“What's it all?”

“Please don't let me wait too long, Author! I, my heart and my feelings will continue to think and miss you. Don't let me wait too long for you, Author.” Arata looked at me with a deep gaze as if he was eager to hug me at this moment. “Author. .”

“What?”

“Can I put a label on your forehead?”

I frowned at Arata's strange words. “What label do you mean?”

“Label that this woman is mine alone and no one can touch her but me. I love you so much that I put that label on your forehead, Author.”

“. .” I froze hearing Arata's words and could not say anything to reply to Arata's words.

Is this what it feels like to be loved deeply by someone? My mind asked me to hear the words and see Arata's gaze on me. Is this the feeling that everyone wants to make many people do anything to get it?
