If the staff that were in charge of props ever discovered their secret messages, then the scandal would probably follow them for the rest of their careers.

But it wasn't like anyone would really understand what the post-it notes meant or who had left it. Toma had never met anyone as subtle and clever with a post-it as Ai-chan. It was on his character's note pad prop in the jury room set when he arrived. There'd been a location shoot at a hotel the day before, so Toma immediately knew what “Yesterday 342” meant. Hopefully nobody else would pick up on it.

He had shooting until early evening, and he knew Ai-chan was on call for eleven P.M. He made it through filming, keeping the odd little post-it in his pocket. He thanked the staff for a job well done and had a cab take him back to the hotel from the previous day's shoot.

His hat and glasses concealed him well enough as he took the elevator to the third floor and knocked on room 342. The door opened, and she gave him a wry smile.

“I guess you found it?”

He gave her a wink, producing the note from his pocket. “Of course,” he said before leaning in for a kiss.

The sneaking and the secret of it all was the exciting part. They never arrived or departed at the same time. None of the newspapers or tabloids had picked up on it, and even their interviews on various shows retained a more innocent, flirtatious tone. Nagase accused Toma-kun of liking her right on the air, and they'd downplayed it easily.

But as she was leaving the green room of the 5LDK set, she found a post-it right on the mirror. He wasn't being very subtle she thought with a grin. Filming would be over soon – maybe then they could go public? She read his neatly-written note: “Before court, lipstick. Before lipstick, court.”

Lipstick meant the bathroom where they'd filmed him getting Izumi's message in lipstick on the mirror. She rolled her eyes. He was running out of creativity already? It didn't sound as appealing as hotels near location shoots.

She took the post-it note, tapping it with her fingernail. Before court, lipstick meant before filming, meet in that bathroom set. And before lipstick, court? Before makeup call she imagined. They were on call for wardrobe and makeup at 8 AM! He was a strange one.

The following morning, she was still wiping sleep from her eyes when she snuck around the courthouse where they filmed, avoiding the staff who'd arrived early to set up shots later that morning. He was sitting on the windowsill waiting for her.

“I don't like meeting in bathrooms,” she said huffily, turning the lock. “It's...cheap.”

But he said nothing, only offering that perfect smile she was falling so hard for before picking her up roughly and depositing her on the window where he'd just been sitting himself.

“Before lipstick?” she asked, as he licked his lips and greedily pushed her light, summery skirt up her thighs. He kissed her, and she couldn't avoid playing with his multicolored, crazy hair.

“Makeup and wardrobe would have my head if I mussed Ai-chan's hair. Which is why we're here so early.”

“Not used to this early,” she muttered, listening to him bite open the foil wrapper.

“I haven't been to bed yet,” he admitted. She laughed, pulling him to her.

Her next post-it would have to be pretty damn clever to top this.
