With his black hair, he really looked like a different person.
But then he thought about it again and realized that it didn't matter what, as long as it fit the role.
After the photoshoot was over, Genkawa Yu called out to Sakurajima Mai, who was about to leave.
"Sakurajima-san, are you free tonight? I'd like to invite you to dinner as a way of thanking you."
Yu Genkawa took the initiative to extend an invitation. From their first meeting, the two had already developed a lot of connections, not only as colleagues in the entertainment industry, but also as a deep friendship.
Mai Sakurajima seemed a little surprised, but quickly revealed her signature slightly playful smile.
"Oh? You finally remembered to thank your senior? Alright, since you're so sincere, let's go together then."
The girl paused for a moment, then said, "But we have to pick a good place; it's not easy for me to go out these days."
She was referring to the paparazzi harassment that comes with her extremely high popularity. Although Mai Sakurajima has had few scandals since her debut, it doesn't mean she won't be targeted by Bunshun.
"Of course, I've already asked Kato-san to book a place, so there's absolutely no problem with privacy."
Genkawa Yu smiled.
"Is that so? It seems you've found a capable assistant, Genkawa-kun. I'm truly envious."
Sakurajima Mai glanced at the short-haired girl behind Genkawa Yu. The girl's presence was very weak, like the young man's shadow.
"Kato-san is really amazing. Although we've only just started working together, we've already become quite dependent on her."
Genkawa Yu smiled, and just then, Kato Megumi handed him a black face mask at just the right moment.
I'll be taking a car later, and as an artist, I naturally need to wear a mask.
"...That's fine too."
Mai Sakurajima gave Megumi Kato a deep look, but didn't say anything more in the end.
Dinner was held at a high-class restaurant that required a member's introduction to enter. The private room was a Japanese-style room at the very back, which was very quiet and soundproof.
Dishes were served one after another like a banquet, each one exquisite.
The two chatted about things on set and interesting anecdotes from the industry, as if they had returned to their previous relaxed and harmonious conversation.
Kato Megumi sat next to Genkawa Yu. She had initially said she didn't want to disturb their meal, but under the young man's insistence, she eventually joined the dinner. However, her work tablet remained on her right side.
After a while, Kato Megumi's tablet vibrated. She glanced at it quickly, then looked at Genkawa Yu and reported calmly.
"Mr. Genkawa, regarding the luxury apartment in Bunkyo Ward that I reported to you before, I just received feedback from the apartment manager that the original owner is moving overseas next week, so there is still room for further negotiation on the price."
"These are detailed interior floor plans and actual photos of that property. They also just sent over a video. Would you like to take a look now?"
She handed over the tablet.
Genkawa Yu immediately took the tablet, and Sakurajima Mai, upon hearing this, also curiously leaned over to take a look.
The screen displayed several extremely clear photos. The interior of this luxury apartment featured a modern, minimalist, and luxurious style, with excellent views. Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see the dazzling scenery of Tokyo and the faint outline of distant mountains.
This apartment is about 200 square meters in size, with clear functional areas, and it is relatively new, not an old apartment.
Wow, this house is really nice.
Mai Sakurajima exclaimed, "The environment in Bunkyo Ward is very nice and quiet, which is perfect for a great writer like you who needs to write."
"Really."
Genkawa Yu glanced at Kato Megumi next to him. He was very satisfied with the luxury apartment, which cost about 400,000 yen a month in rent.
Based on my current income, I can afford it completely.
Of course, buying a house in Tokyo is not so easy; it would probably cost several hundred million yen.
"Okay, I'll contact the apartment manager right now."
Kato Megumi nodded, then got up and went out to make a phone call.
Mai Sakurajima, standing next to her, immediately noticed the key point, and her eyes lit up.
"Genkawa-kun, are you planning to move?"
"Yes, if possible, I plan to get it done in the next couple of days."
When are you moving? Do you need any help?
She seemed to have completely forgotten her identity as a female celebrity, and her expression showed a hint of eagerness.
After all, Mai Sakurajima didn't really have many friends her own age, and she cared a little more about Yu Genkawa.
Seeing her showing such a rare childlike enthusiasm, Yuan Chuanyu couldn't help but chuckle.
"I appreciate Sakurajima-san's kindness, but I can't possibly trouble you with something as trivial as moving..."
"What's the trouble? There's strength in numbers."
Mai Sakurajima interrupted him, smiling, and said, "Is there something hidden in your room that you can't let me see?"
"...If you want to come, then come. Don't spread rumors."
Genkawa Yu sighed.
"Hmph, then hurry up and decide. I'll come over once it's done."
Mai Sakurajima's eyebrows curved into crescents, and she looked quite pleased with herself.
"I hope Sakurajima-san won't blame me for ordering you around when the time comes."
"Don't worry, Genkawa-kun." Sakurajima Mai took a sip of Calpis and said with a smile, "After you're done ordering me around, you'll have to treat me to dinner again, hahaha."
"That's natural."
The private dinner with Mai Sakurajima ended in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
After safely putting the popular actress into her car, Yu Minakawa and Megumi Kato walked to their own van.
The cool night breeze dispelled the lingering aroma of food in the ryotei, bringing him a sense of clarity.
Just as Kato Megumi opened the car door for him, Genkawa Yu's cell phone suddenly started buzzing incessantly, its screen emitting a bright light in the night.
He took it out and saw that the group chat called "The Six Lovers" was flooding the screen. After participating in the dating reality show, everyone's contact did not disappear. On the contrary, because of their experience of living together for two weeks, they became good friends.
This can be considered thanks to Genkawa Yu, that "werewolf," since he was the only one who was confessed to in the end; otherwise, their relationship would not have been so harmonious.
Kato Megumi stood quietly to the side, waiting with a gentle gaze.
She's always like that; aside from reporting on her work, she rarely speaks.
Genkawa Yu swiped the screen and a long string of messages immediately popped up.
The latest message was MEM's energetic voice. He clicked on it, and the girl's crisp and cheerful voice immediately popped out.
"Genkawa-kun! Are you free tomorrow? We've found a super-fun escape room!"
"I heard the plot is incredibly mind-bending and the props are super realistic! Let's go take on the challenge together! @Yuanchuan You"
"I'll be waiting for you!"
Following closely behind are the words of Nobuyuki Kumano and Kengo Morimoto, indicating that these individuals do indeed have a good relationship in private.
Yuu Minakawa: [Sorry everyone, I'm afraid I can't make it tomorrow. I have to go house hunting, handle some paperwork, and move, so I might be a bit busy.]
The group chat exploded within three seconds of the message being sent!
MEM_Chiu: [Eh?! Genkawa-kun is moving?! Why are you only telling me now?!]
Nobuyuki Kumano: [Moving?! Need help carrying luggage? I may not have much else, but I'm strong. Ready anytime!]
Kengo Morimoto: [Genkawa, do you need any help? I'm free these days.]
Toru Asakura: [Moving must be tiring, right? If you need help... I can help organize books or small items.]
Even Akane Kurokawa eventually sent a voice message in the group offering to help, followed by a private message.
"Mr. Genkawa, if you're moving, I'll help you."
"..."
Genkawa Yu was somewhat stunned as he watched as everyone rushed to send him requests for help almost without thinking.
He had only mentioned it casually and had no intention of troubling everyone.
After all, moving is a tedious, tiring, and time-consuming process. His original plan was to pay directly and then hand everything over to a moving company.
At most, Kato Megumi can supervise from the sidelines.
So he quickly typed a reply.
Yuu Minakawa: [I'm really touched by everyone's kindness! But please, no need to trouble anyone! I've already contacted a moving company; the process is very professional, there won't be any problems! Everyone, have a great weekend and enjoy some escape rooms!]
MEM_chu: [No way! Moving companies can't put in as much effort as we do! Besides, moving is so much fun! It's way more interesting than escape rooms.]
Nobuyuki Kumano: [Genkawa, don't be so polite! We're all friends, so don't stand on ceremony.]
Kengo Morimoto: [Yeah, it's perfect timing since the show ended and we haven't had much of a get-together. Let me help you move, and then I'll treat you to a meal.]
The other two girls were also very enthusiastic, and no one gave him a chance to refuse.
After a while, Genkawa Yu raised his head and looked at Kato Megumi, who had been waiting quietly beside him. A complex smile appeared on his face, a mixture of helplessness, some emotion, and a little bit of bewilderment.
"Kato-san, it seems my moving plans are about to get quite lively."
After all, there's still Mai Sakurajima.
Kato Megumi's expression remained calm; she merely nodded slightly.
"I understand, I'll come then."
"Ah."
Genkawa Yu replied in the group chat.
[I really can't refuse you all, so I'll really be troubling you all then! I'll let everyone know in the group as soon as the specific time is set. Thank you all in advance!]
MEM_chu: [Yay! House party!!!]
Nobuyuki Kumano: [Received! Ready at any time!]
Kengo Morimoto: [Hmm. Got it.]
