Wandering For Love -Epilogue (Part 3/3)-
Part 3:
Right after Kazuya had finished, he looked directly at Jin and asked. “Jaa, Jin, will you sing me the song you wrote for me as well? I’m sure everyone here wants to hear it especially when they had just learnt about this today.” Kazuya ended with a flirtatious wink.
Jin gaped, his jaws dropping wide open at that request. “What? No, no, no. It’s too embarrassing!” He yelled in horror, shaking his head left and right hard.
“Please, Jinjin.” Kazuya pleaded.
“No” came as a firm answer.
“Please.” Kazuya repeated, this time adding his powerful, killing puppy eyes on his lover.
“…”
“PLEASE~” All of the guests shouted in unison.
Jin gave out a defeated sigh. “Alright, alright. I will go and fetch my guitar.”
Kazuya smiled victoriously and walked up to give him a brief hug. Everyone stared at the couple’s conversation in amusement. Now, they were really curious. What was Kazuya’s song?
Jin came back with Kazuya’s guitar in hand and stood coyly in front of the microphone stand. He cleared his throat once. Twice. But the nervousness was still there. ‘Oh my god.’
He brought up his shaky right hand over to his left chest where his heart was. It was beating furiously in him. Of course he felt nervous as he has only sung this song to Kazuya alone the other time. He was not prepared to let anybody else other than Kazuya to hear this piece.
‘I can do this.’
He patted twice at his left chest and spoke into the microphone. “Erm… as Kazuya has mentioned, I have reciprocated him with this song after I have listened to his Kizuna. The same song I sang for him during our anniversary.” He inhaled a deep breath before continuing. “So… yeah, erm, just listen to it then. Care.”
He inhaled once more and steadied himself. “Just hear me out… follow me. Kazu, I want to tell you how things should be for you when you’re with me.”
Among those conspiracies and lies, I am burdened with a clumsy love.
On the days I’ve come to dislike being pushed for time, I felt a little freedom.
After how many years, it will become a memory, so
I suddenly tried to overlap the memories I was starting to forget with the present.
Today, it becomes difficult to walk as I’m carrying too many important things.
At anytime, we and certainly everyone are taking countless sadness and weaknesses along.
Even if you tumble, get the strength to stride forward.
Certainly right there, the same numbers of smiles as the tears you’ve shed are waiting for you.
Even if I were to lose something in this world of rules,
in that way, from my part, I hope our clasped hands will never be untied.
Even if for example, you got hurt,
Everyone’s love changes color numerous times,
On the days when you are tired, lean on me.
Whoever you are, I will embrace you tightly.
At anytime, we and certainly everyone are taking countless sadness and weaknesses along.
Even if you tumble, get the strength to stride forward.
Certainly right there, the same numbers of smiles as the tears you’ve shed are waiting for you.
Believe in yourself
Once more, loud clapping and applauses resonated loudly within the apartment. Keita cheered at the top of his voice and Yamapi whistled noisily.
“Thank you.” Jin stated simply in bashfulness before trying to retreat clumsily.
“Hold on, Jin.” Kazuya stopped Jin in his tracks. “I’ve got a surprise for you.”
Jin looked at Kazuya quizzically but yet his eyes had shown a slight hinge of amused curiosity. “Surprise? I thought you said you didn’t prepare anything?”
Kazuya smiled cheekily. “It’s meant to be a surprise so obviously, I wouldn’t reveal anything, right? Plus, you were the one who said that I have got a lifetime to show you my surprises.”
Jin rolled his eyes and snorted, though he was still very eager to know what the surprise was. “Okay, now, what is your surprise?”
“I’m going to present to you a song which I had composed it myself.”
“Kizuna?” Jin asked dumbly.
“Obviously not.” Kazuya snorted. “It’s another one. A new one.”
Kazuya held the microphone and spoke up. “Ladies and gentleman, I have one surprise for my husband today. By right, I had wanted to sing that surprise for him earlier on but he had insisted on ‘Kizuna’ that’s why. So do you think I should give him the last surprise now?”
“YAY!”
“Let’s hear it then.” Kazuya gave a warm smile and gestured for Jin to stand by him and listened to him. He picked up the same guitar Jin had used previously, strummed it softly subsequently, he began to sing.
Even if for example, I was to lose you tonight
I wouldn’t forget because I love you
When we quietly exchange a short kiss in the moonlight
Love overflows every time I feel your soft lips
Your laughing voice, your sad face too. I’ve seen a lot of things about you but
Your image when I first saw you, was what left me at a loss
Locked up quietly inside my heart
Not even my “thank you” can reach your heart
In the middle of this track that continues endlessly, what are you thinking?
Don’t forget, let me stay quietly by the side of that heart
Hiding away the feelings of regret in the darkness, I was just playing during that time
Even though I was supposed to become a boring adult
Quietly opening the heart that I had locked up
I wondered if the words “thank you” will reach you now
In the middle of this track that continues endlessly, what are you thinking?
Don’t forget, let me stay quietly by the side of that heart
I quietly looked back at the days that I had spent with you
You were the one who taught me that I’m not alone
I’ve made up my mind to become your nearest ally whenever you have difficult times
Don’t forget, I love you…
Even if for example, I was to lose you tonight
I wouldn’t forget because I love you
Don’t forget that I love you
Unshed, touching tears brimmed inside Jin’s glassy almond orbs, a crystal droplet that resembled a tiny scatter of diamond hanging at the corner of both his eyes. “Kazu.”
Kazuya put down the guitar safely on the ground before pulling his husband into a tight hug. He whispered softly into Jin’s ears. “Aishite iru kara.”
Jin wrapped his arms dearly around Kazuya and breathed in deeply. He felt really blessed to have met Kazuya in his life and was very thankful that he had fallen in love with this man. He did not regret anything at all. Nothing could beat the fact that he had owned Kazuya’s heart. He really loved this man with his all.
I won’t ever forget that voice, that smile. I certainly won’t forget the moments the two of us had gathered together.
“Thank you. It’s a beautiful song.” Jin murmured softly and brushing his fingers sweetly through Kazuya’s soft locks.
Kazuya pulled away and smiled genuinely. He used his thumbs to brush off the crystal-like tears that had rolled down Jin’s cheeks before he whispered again. “Now, shall we present our surprise for our parents together?”
Jin tilted his head to the side questioningly before realization dawned on him. “Oh! Yes!”
Kazuya took hold of one of the microphones and stood in the middle before their guests. “That song, it’s called Aishite iru kara.” Kazuya twisted his head and fixed his eyes ethereally on Jin. “I was able to write this song because Jin allowed me to. Because I love Jin. Because I know that he loves me no matter what, and that gave me the courage to sing this out. It’s all about my feelings for him.”
Jin held Kazuya’s hand in his appreciatively. Kazuya spoke up a few seconds after bathing himself in the warm happiness. “We are coming to the end of this simple ceremony today. We’re glad that things have been going on smoothly and successfully. To mark the end of this ceremony, Jin and I have prepared a last surprise for our parents.”
“Oh, yeah. Kazu and I have prepared a surprise for our parents as a gift to thank them for everything. Without them, there won’t be Kazu and me. So, thank you very much.” In cue, Kazuya and Jin bowed their gratitude with full sincerity.
“This surprise is nothing great actually. We do not know what we should give to them as a gift, thus, we have decided to dedicate a song full of our love and appreciations for them. It’s MOTHER/FATHER.”
“A song, again?” Junno grumbled but was unfortunately, heard by Jin.
“Hey! It’s not easy to compose songs, you know, you stupid Junno!?” Jin snapped, sulking and turning around to pout at Kazuya. “You! Come and do it then!” Kazuya chuckled at Jin’s natural childishness and smacked him lightly at his shoulder.
“Junno doesn’t mean it that way, Jin.” Nakamaru hurried to help Junno to explain. He thought Jin was indeed raging mad now. In fact, all of them thought the same thing as well.
Sensing things were seemingly going out of hand, Junno clapped his hands together and stilled it in front of his face. “It’s my fault, I’m sorry, buddy! Don’t be angry, now, start singing, we’re waiting!” Junno then flashed his trademark, mega-watt smile at Jin who jutted his lower lips out like a wild child now.
“Jin…” Kazuya patted on his shoulder and pulled him halfheartedly into his arms, trying to pacify him.
Just when everyone thought Jin was seriously getting mad over Junno’s trivial comment, Jin who had just received his husband’s comforting hug, immediately beamed and bounced slightly in his position.
Okay, everyone got the picture.
Jin just wanted to get Kazuya’s attention.
“What a spoilt brat!” Yamapi commented casually, in turn, earning a death glare from Jin.
Yamapi merely shrugged his shoulders and signaled for Kazuya to start singing. Kazuya snickered. “Okay, Jin. Come on, we should end this ceremony thing already.” Jin grinned back at him and nodded lightly.
I won't forget anything about you,
who continued singing your unconditional true love to me.
I won't forget, even if I’m born again.
I misunderstood, thinking that I was living all alone.
I saddened you, ignoring that warmth you extended to me, didn't I?
Though I tried to depend on you only when it was convenient for me,
you always took my side and gave me your smiles.
It’s not only the mere memories - our bond will never fade, for eternity.
I won't forget anything about you,
who continued singing your unconditional true love to me.
I won't forget, even if I’m born again.
In your eyes, have I become a source of pride and joy?
I'm too embarrassed to ask, but that's how I want it to be.
Your smile that melts my heart, I want to see it more than anything, eternally.
I will seek out your voice,
that taught me that there is no such thing as a love that doesn't connect,
I will seek it, even if we're born again.
I will seek out your voice,
that taught me that there is no such thing as a love that doesn't connect,
I will seek it, even if we're born again.
When did your strict back start to seem so small? Somehow it's sad.
Even your lectures, that I thought were annoying every time you opened your mouth,
now are precious to me.
"Even if nobody else is watching your efforts, we are right here by your side watching"
Those words well up constantly in the deep places of my heart, overflowing to wet my eyes.
The lies that made you sad - I won't lie anymore.
I'm such an idiotic son, grateful for your signs of love.
I'll express our bond in my own way... Just live a long life, without ever looking back.
More than anyone, I'm here by your side.
The fate that let us meet won't be severed, even if we're born again.
Even if we're born again.
“Thank you very much! You made us fall in love again. I love Kazu!” Jin declared loudly and pulled his blushing lover into his welcoming arms.
“Jin! I love you too. Don’t ever leave me again.” Kazuya mumbled quietly and buried his face in the crook of Jin’s neck.
“I promise I won’t.” Jin bent down and kissed Kazuya deeply on his lips.
Indeed, it’s marvelous to fall in love with you all over again and again.
~*~
Someone once said before, a person will meet his or her true love only twice in a lifetime. Usually when you have realised and understands ‘love’, the first one has already passed by.
Although Jin wasn’t even sure who was the first one in his life whom had went by without him noticing, but he has a strong feeling that Kazuya who has appeared in his life unexpectedly, was his first one and also his last one. He didn’t intend to let Kazuya slip off easily, he would do whatever he could to love him, protect him and cherish him.
To Kazuya, Jin was his love, his life, his everything. No matter what, Jin was his only love now and he would anything to protect this love and cherish him.
Everything is mine, so everything is yours. It’s bond.
That’s Fate.
~*~
Our story that only involves the two of us begins here, a story that heads towards tomorrow without turning back. Every single chapter of it, there will be no more goodbyes, so let me hear it from your lips, the three magical words ‘I love you’. I want to know what ‘love’ is, so show it to me. Hand in hand, we will engrave the warmth we share and the feeling of confirmation in our hearts. Our sweet time is waiting for us ahead.
~*~
We have been wandering for love… It’s a wonder of love.
