I do not own Skip Beat.

Ren was driving his car back to his home, after a photo shoot, he couldn't wait to change and take a hot shower, it had started raining in the middle of the shoot and everyone was positively drenched, he liked it though, this weather, when he could enjoy a cup of coffee, curled up in his couch, listening to the sound of the rain, it calmed him.

On the way he spotted a certain chestnut haired young lady, walking slowly with her head down, she'd faded into the background as if becoming transparent when the rain drops landed on her, of course he'd seen her, his eyes always managed to catch the young actress first no matter who was there, he slowed down when he saw her, and by now he was driving alongside her, of course she didn't notice, her obliviousness for what's happening around her will never cease to worry him, she had a spaced out look on her face, she had always enjoyed walking in the rain he knew that much, when she didn't seem to notice him after a while he honked at her, sliding his passenger's seat window, he said "Hey pretty lady, care to go on a ride, come on I'll make sure you have fun" he winked as he said that last sentence.

She jerked her head up, recognizing the voice, she smiled brightly and then decided to play along "I'm sorry but I'm a married woman, you can go seduce someone else with your cheesy pick up lines" she said haughtily.

He just laughed and opened the door to her "Hop in Ma'am, your romantic walk in the rain must come to an end".

She chuckled "Maybe you should join me".

"I thought you were a married woman" he said playfully.

"He doesn't have to know, now does he?" she said.

"I'm shocked, are you trying to convince me to have an affair with a married woman?" he said, faking a surprised look.

"Are you trying to convince me you don't want to?" she retorted.

He giggled "Come on babe, we should go home … you're drenched ."

"So are you ." she said, climbing inside the car.

So to clear any misunderstandings, Kyoko and Ren ARE married, the whole affair thing was a joke, between them, that's all, and he met her on his way home because (hold your breath) she was heading there too, as it is her home as well.

This was inspired by the skeleton flower, which i find fascinating, and listening to Jonghyun's song, titled skeleton flower (which i do not own) helped too.

Lennie and guest thank you guys so much for the sweet reviews, i love you.
