Remember When - Chapter Eight
His actions from last night still shock him. He can’t get away from the lingering feeling of Jin’s lips on his; of Jin’s touches on his body… he can’t erase the musk scent that had impregnated on him. Last night’s events were still vividly playing in his mind and he fought back the urge of kicking himself. He didn’t want to believe he swings that way, but, especially he didn’t want to believe that he had a thing for his former band mate, Akanishi Jin. The one whom he simply thought of as best friend, the one whom he valued dearly.
But why was his body reacting this way?! Why he felt a heat hugging his whole being while remembering their closeness? Why did his heart start beating faster remembering the form of those plump lips brushing against his, claiming them as if this was how things should be? And why did he think that Yamapi should have stayed a little longer before coming back?!
Fuck.
Kazuya had it. Since that night he could only think about Jin and nothing else! What happened back then really troubled him. He couldn’t sleep well and everyone could see that as he was more silent and sleepy than ever. But he was determined to put an end to everything by proving to himself that what had happened was just a mistake and… and a rush of hormones! Yes, that was it! A rush of hormones created by the tense atmosphere around them! It didn’t make sense, did it? Kazuya sighed and kept walking. He really needed to be distracted and proven wrong. And somehow, he was going to do it.
His phone vibrated and he slowly took it out, his hunch being confirmed. Sighing, he placed it back, concentrating on the road ahead. The missed call would be another one among the other countless he had already crowding on his phone’s screen. Until he got his mind clear, he won’t answer any of Jin’s calls or messages. He needed to assure himself; he needed to sort out his feelings from the hormones that seemed to rummage through his body. Kazuya came to a halt and looked up, realizing that unconsciously his need for certainty led him to the party house where usually JE singers, actors were usually hanging out.
His phone went vibrating once more. He waited until it became another missed call and grimacing at the incredible number of missed calls, he switched off his phone. He didn’t want any disturbance tonight. He planned on having himself pleased and reassured.
*
This was the last thing that Jin expected from Kazuya. He still felt betrayed, hurt, abandoned by the one he had trusted the most. He had opened himself in from of Kazuya and told him everything he thought, every feeling of uncertainty and confusion that he had. He didn’t understand his feelings any better than Kazuya but he knew that he doesn’t want to lose them. He doesn’t want to lose Kazuya, to never see him again.
But, as always, Kazuya seems to make that decision for him too. He never answered his calls. He never opened the door for Jin. He even waited in front of his door until the guard came and threw him out. He tried to ask his friends but they didn’t tell him anything either.
Jin felt lost. He didn’t know what to do anymore and he didn’t have that much time to continue this game that Kazuya started. He had to go. He had to go to his new life, the one away from KAT-TUN.
So he left Japan without seeing Kazuya after that night.
*
It was his umpteenth time entering the club, now everyone accustomed with his presence. The first time he came, everybody looked awed like the almighty Kamenashi Kazuya didn’t know how to have fun or the meaning of a party house. But they soon passed over this shocking event and Kazuya became everyone’s favorite, boys and girls likewise. But he was especially popular with girls as he made a habit of taking one girl each night to his apartment, the following events being clear as crystal water.
And this time, nothing was different. Kazuya was as always charming and lovely, everyone shouting for him to join them. He was picky about the persons with whom he’d spend the night, but when there were some pretty faces involved - especially women ones - he won’t say no. Kazuya still hadn’t cleared his doubts about his feelings regarding Jin or the events that took place that fatidic night. But he discovered that if he’d go out like this and lose himself into some unknown women’s arms, he would easily cast aside everything that bothered him, especially those nasty thoughts or dreams that kept haunting him when he was alone.
“Kazuya!” a male voice came out of nowhere and the singer swirled on the spot and smiled seeing the place from where it came.
It was a group of nine people, some he knew and others he didn’t. And in that group there was a particular person he didn’t know. He went lazily towards them, saluting and smiling to the girls. He slumped down to the unfamiliar face which turned brightly red despite her daring outfit.
“Oi, Kazuya! Don’t hit on her the moment you came! Just take her slowly.” One of his friends laughed, making Kazuya smirk. He slipped a hand around the girl’s waist and pulled her closer to him, sniffling somewhere near her neck and ear. He lifted his head at his friends and said out loud.
“I always take them slowly.”
The group roared with laughter and even the shy girl next to him chuckled. He turned to her and smiled. The girl already accepted him and his slightly rude behavior, just because he was an idol. But this didn’t mean a thing to him, just as long as he got what he wanted. And right now, he wanted her.
“Nee, can I call you Kazu…?”
She never finished the question because his mouth crushed against her, making her forget what she was about to ask. The rough yet gentle lips were brushing against hers, the smooth tongue slipping into her hot and sweet cavern, swirling round her tongue, thrusting deeper and deeper, making her moan. He would never hear it because of his pounding heart that began to beat fast upon her request. No one than Jin could call him this way…
The moment they parted, the girl was slightly panting and he licked his lips, a smirk passing cross them. Kazuya played with her golden-brown locks, tracing with a finger her wet lips, her warm breath caressing his finger. He pulled her closer, teasing her with his naughty tongue which brushed over her lower lip, before biting it then finally grazing it with his teeth. One of his hands cupped the back of her neck, holding her steadily as he claimed her lips and his tongue plunged into her mouth once more. The other hand went down slowly, playing on her exposed thigh, enjoying the slight tremble of the girl. It climbed further, past the fluffy skirt and losing itself under it. She made an attempt to pull back but the hand holding her stopped her. Another moan escaped her lips, the corners of Kazuya’s mouth curving into a smirk.
“Geez, get a room already, you horny bastards!” came the same male voice as before, the pair breaking their kiss and looking at the man. The girl had an awkward smile on her face while Kazuya seemed unbothered by the interruption.
“Now that you suggest it…” the singer said and looked at her waiting for an answer. Her eyes looked back in surprise, but nevertheless nodded. “Well, see ya, guys!” Kazuya quickly said and pulled her up from the couch and whispered something into her ear.
He watched her leave before him and her small silhouette got immediately lost into the dancing crowd. He would be following her soon, just to be sure that no one would take pictures of them while exiting the club. He made a peace sign to the group and left.
There would be another night full of passion in the arms of a nameless woman and another morning when regret and disgust would sweep over him.
But… it can’t be helped.
*
And it just got worse for both of them. Jin felt lonelier than ever. He was surrounded by his friends, he had to work so much that he didn’t really have time to think. But in those seconds that he was free, all he did was to think at Kazuya and wonder what he’s doing. He still didn’t answer his calls. And nobody told him anything about him. Until he snapped and forced Yamapi to say something, anything about Kazuya.
But he didn’t hear what he was expecting to.
“Forget him, Jin. All he’s doing is whoring around. He doesn’t care about you; he just sleeps with another woman every night.”
He didn’t even blink. He could hear Yamapi still talking and at some point, even yelling, probably worried because Jin stopped talking at that moment. He even stopped breathing. But then again, what was he expecting anyway? That Kazuya would wait for him? It was stupid for him to think that way, Kazuya made it clear by not answering his phone calls. But he hoped that this was just because the younger one was confused and needed time to sort out his feelings. He hoped that he’ll eventually call Jin and say that he’s sorry and he wants to see him. He wanted to know that Kazuya feels the same as him and wants to be with him. In what way, he wasn’t still certain, but they could have figured it out together.
But now it was too late.
“Jin, are you alright?”
He raised his head and looked at Aubree with teary eyes. Why was it hurting this much? Why did he feel his heart clench when he heard about Kazuya and another woman? And why did he feel the need to cry right now, under Aubree’s gaze?
He didn’t know and he didn’t want answers anymore. He just did the first thing that he thought of and hugged the girl. He didn’t want to think. He didn’t want to feel. He just wanted to get lost in her touch and forget everything. To forget Kazuya.
The next day, when he woke up still in Aubree’s warm arms and saw her clinging to him, he knew that this is right. He just had to let go of a distant memory.
*
To be honest, he didn’t know what he was doing here. He still had a lot of work to do, but Yamapi argued that he still has time until his America debut. He wanted to make new songs so that he can surprise his fans with his first album and present new songs, but Yamapi said that he’s a genius and he’ll manage even if he slacks a day or two - at which Jin snorted, but admitted that his friend is indeed right. And even if Jin didn’t have anything else to do, he would rather be with his family on this day, but Yamapi didn’t let him say anything more and dragged him at his Christmas party, telling him that he also needs to celebrate for his successful tour.
He sighed. Seriously, what was Yamapi thinking? Half of these people were from Johnny’s and Yamapi knew better than to put Jin and his senpais in the same room and without cameras. Sure, he could act polite in public, but this didn’t mean that he’d have to bear their smug faces in his free time too. And even if Jin was somehow looking forward to relate about his success in America to his senpais and rub it in their faces, he knew that he should act like an adult and shut his mouth.
He only prayed that they won’t come near him.
He turned his back on the others and took another bottle of beer. The other half of the room was full with his friends, but Jin didn’t feel comfortable to talk with them like he used to. And this annoyed him because he didn’t know why. It was strange, like something was preventing him to go and have fun with his friends. Maybe they were thinking that he’s feeling much more important than they, Jin thought, now that his debut in America was decided. But it wasn’t about that. But he couldn’t explain either because he didn’t even have one.
“Are you planning to get drunk all by yourself?”
Jin looked at his right where Ryo had appeared with an arrogant smile on his smile. He sighed again and flopped himself on a couch nearby, followed by his friend. Was he really trying to get drunk? He didn’t think so, this was only his second beer for this night, but he couldn’t deny the need that he felt to get drunk and forget everything.
Coming back to Japan triggered something in him.
“No, not really” he answered after a couple of minutes, sensing that Ryo was starting to get irritated. “Just trying to relax a bit.”
“Yeah, just like I’m trying to have a baby right now” the shorter snorted and Jin smiled, knowing very well than he can’t lie to his friends at all. “Maybe you should get drunk after all, at least you would be more fun to hung out with” he shrugged and stole Jin’s bottle to take a sip.
“And I’m not fun right now?” Jin pouted and made a cute face at Ryo.
“If my desire to punch your baby face in this moment is your way of having fun, then…” the other one answered, making Jin sulk even more.
“Yeah, you’re the one to talk. At least I’m not a dwarf like you, I’m cute” he announced on a happy voice.
“Bakanishi, you’re just fat” Ryo retorted without blinking and Jin pouted some more. But when Ryo finally smiled, Jin couldn’t help himself to not laugh with his friend.
Maybe he was just imagining things and he was too stressed out, that’s why he was suddenly so conscious with his friends and couldn’t laugh anymore with them. He realized that he needed this; he needed to go out and meet new people so that he could remember why he loved Tokyo so much. He was surrounded by his friends, by the ones who helped him make his dream come true. Jin didn’t know what he would have done if he didn’t have his friends. If Yamapi wasn’t there to take care of him. If Ryo wasn’t there to bring him back to reality - which he needed very often. If…
He stopped his thoughts, not wanting to start thinking about what tortured him the whole month while he was in America. But it seemed that luck wasn’t on his side because precisely in that moment, the door opened again and the said person entered the room.
And he wasn’t alone.
Kazuya pulled the car in front of a mansion, staring for a few moments at the building. It belonged to Johnny, he knew that and kind of envied Yamapi for getting it for a Christmas party. That’s for you privileged people. He got of from the car and rushed quickly at the other door. She smiled once again and murmured a shy ‘thanks’ before laying her hand in his. It felt warm and friendly; it felt good. Kazuya leaded her to the door and as soon as it was opened, he tightened his grip on her hand and looked smiling to a room full of people.
He loved Christmas. He really did, but something kept telling him that this Christmas he might end up hating it. If Yamapi didn’t bug him for a whole week to come to this party, definitely he wouldn’t have come. But he was too soft when it came to pleading and puppy eyes so he gave in to Yamapi’s joy. So here he was, attending the Johnny’s Christmas, as he nicknamed it jokingly, and went further into the room.
“I’m really happy to have you here with me, Haru-chii.” He said, throwing a grateful glance to the girl beside him. She chuckled and grabbed lightly his arm.
“Same here, K-chan.” She replied and Kazuya chuckled likewise. He loved the way she kept calling him K-chan, her reasoning being that since he had his family and surname starting with the same letter. He could still remember and laugh at the serious face and tone when she said that.
“Kame-chan! I didn’t think you’d come.” Yamapi appeared from nowhere in front of them, smiling like an idiot. “Oh, and I see you’ve got company.” He grinned at the girl beside Kazuya.
“I wouldn’t miss your party, Yamapi.” Kazuya replied and then turned to his partner. “I don’t know if you’ve met her, but this is Ayase Haruka.” He introduced her, smiling fondly.
“I think I had the pleasure of meeting her before.” Yamapi answered. “Please, come in and enjoy the party.” He added before disappearing into the crowd.
Kazuya laughed a little as he saw the confusion on Haruka’s face as she didn’t get to say more than a ‘hi’. He grabbed her arm and told her not to worry because that’s how usually Yamapi behaves. She shrugged and then quickly smiled while pointing him a person.
“Nee! That’s Ko-chan, right?” she said and pulled Kazuya after her.
Needless to say that Jin was already fuming. How dared he come with a girl at his best friend’s party? How could Kazuya even appear in front of him with a woman? He knew that he didn’t have the right to say anything to him, but Jin couldn’t help himself. He couldn’t help himself to not make a scene, but he suppressed his inner desire to strangle both of them and tried to smile.
Yeah, like that would help.
He continued to watch them as they talked with Yamapi, looking all lovey-dovey. It made him sick. He never saw Kazuya like this but, of course, he never saw him with a girl. They were too young to have a girlfriend when they were still friends and after that he stopped knowing everything about Kazuya’s life. He wanted to punch that smile off Kazuya’s face and make him look his way too. Notice him. See that he’s here too, damn it! He tightened his grip on the armchair to retain himself and cursed silently.
But it seemed that Kazuya finally noticed him because he turned his head to look at him. Jin stiffened. He didn’t see the younger for three months and only now he realized that he still didn’t know what to say to him, how to explain his behavior. But he wouldn’t be the one to start a conversation, oh no! Kazuya would have to be the one who does that, he was the one fucking another girl every night!
He grinned to himself and Jin waited for Kazuya to approach him. He didn’t want to give the younger the satisfaction to know that he was watching him the whole time so he turned his head and pretended to not be interested in him. So he waited. And waited. And again waited. He didn’t understand what was taking so long so he finally decided to turn his head a little just so he can see what Kazuya is doing. Ryo glared at him, already knowing what Jin is up to, and he sighed.
And Jin blanked, shocked by what he saw. That bastard didn’t even see him!!
Kazuya looked at Koki and laughed while hearing Haruka how she continued calling him ‘Ko-chan’ while the rapper tried to smile. He glanced at other people trying to see who else had come. Maybe… his eyes stopped on a certain person. Kazuya’s heart began to race and he felt his cheeks burn. Jin was there too and he was drinking with Ryo. The younger one wanted to turn and run back to his apartment; being so close to Jin after these past three months was suddenly unsettling. He hadn’t prepared himself for this, of course, he thought of him coming, but he believed that since with his America debut he’ll be busy and won’t attend such parties. Obviously he was wrong. Jin was still the carefree and irresponsible guy as ever. Kazuya scoffed and his stare at Jin turned into a glare.
As if Jin had sensed his look, he glanced at Kazuya once more and met his burning eyes for a second. It had been a terrifying and passionate moment; one that made both of them remember that lustful and forbidden night. One neither of them would ever forget.
Jin suddenly remembered all his emotions from that night. All the feelings that he had tried so hard to suppress and failed graciously. He felt both shy and angry. He wanted to hit Kazuya but he also wanted to kiss him, to make that desire that had hunted him since that night become reality. He wanted to close his eyes and erase Kazuya’s image from his mind, but he knew that his face will be the only thing he’ll see even in his dreams. It was weird how he can understand so many things with only a look at Kazuya.
And this made him even angrier. He put an end to their visual contact and rose up.
“I’m going to have another drink” he said to Ryo before he left.
He really needed that drink.
Although Jin stopped their endless and torturing eye contact, Kazuya continued to follow him, though more discreet now, not wanting to be noticed by anyone. He watched him heading for the bar and his worst worries came true - Jin was going to get drunk. Not that he didn’t do it frequently, but he could at least tonight to stop this bad habit of his. Kazuya hoped for too much as he saw Yamapi joining him and almost sighed. He felt sick and really wanted to leave, but he’d stay just a little longer.
Haruka looked at Kazuya and saw him worried. She followed his look and saw one of his friends sitting at the bar, including the host.
“Nee, K-chan. You didn’t talk with Akanishi-san, no?” she asked wondering, not paying attention at him, her eyes checking the other one. Kazuya’s face showed a pained expression upon hearing Jin’s name and Koki almost wanted to punch him.
“N-no. I didn’t, but it’s not like we have anything to talk.” He replied, trying to smile when Haruka looked at him surprised. “I mean, he’s busy with his overseas’ debut while I’m… while I’m busy with KAT-TUN.” He added, hoping that this won’t raise anymore questions.
“Haruka-chan…” Koki interfered, distracting her.
Kazuya was grateful to Koki and while listening to their talk, he kept on throwing glances at the bar. He really hoped that Jin won’t get drunk.
But Kazuya’s wish wasn’t going to become true because Jin was determined to get drunk.
“Seriously, you have to get over it.”
Jin rolled his eyes and ignored Yamapi’s advice for the nth time these months. He knew better than anyone that he should get a new ‘hobby’ and stop sulking very time Kazuya’s name comes in discussion. But he couldn’t help it. He had managed to forget a little about the younger one with Aubree’s help, but now that he was seeing him again, it seemed that all of his thoughts were coming back to him. It disturbed him that Kazuya had such a big influence over him and it angered him the fact that he felt so vulnerable in front of him.
This wasn’t him. But he couldn’t stop, he couldn’t forget. He couldn’t do anything but drink to drown into his sorrow.
“Jin, go and talk with him. You won’t solve anything if you just stay here and sulk” Yamapi tried again, but Jin seemed more interested in his glass than his friend’s words.
“Don’t wanna. Besides, he’s busy, can’t you see?” Jin answered with a pout.
It was Yamapi’s turn to roll his eyes. “So what, you want me to go and talk with him in your stead?” he asked, starting to get angry.
“It would be a good idea. It’s not like I’ll ever talk with him again” Jin replied with a smug face, feeling very happy of his decision.
“Suit yourself. I’m not going to be a part of this” Yamapi said and left Jin alone.
“Great, one less trouble for me…” he sang behind his friend. “Another one!” he said to no one and poured vodka again in his glass.
Kazuya looked at how Yamapi left Jin alone at the bar. This worried him more and the fact that the stupid kept on drinking didn’t calm him at all.
Jin was starting to feel a bit tipsy, but he wasn’t realizing that he was more than tipsy. He was dead drunk to be more exact. He needed to take a pause, but his hand kept putting the glass at his lips and Jin didn’t have a choice than to drink. It wasn’t his fault, his hand just moved by itself until the whole bottle was finished.
For the umpteenth time, Kazuya looked at Jin. As far as he saw, he could tell that Jin won’t stop until he’d fall and crawl like usually drunken people do. Again, Kazuya suppressed the impulse of going to Jin and pull him from there. He continued to watch though.
“Damn it!” Jin muttered as he slowly sat from his chair and looked around the room, unaware of Kazuya’s constant glances. “Weird, why are they spinning so fast? They’ll fall” he chuckled and made his way through the other guests. He didn’t know what he was actually looking, but he continued to walk, trying to not trip and fall. That wouldn’t be a nice thing for the other guests, Jin thought.
Well, he managed to get to a room. What was it, Jin didn’t give a shit. He just wanted some peace and quiet. He opened it and tried to close it behind him, but he suddenly felt his head spinning even more than before. His legs collapsed and he swore while he saw the floor coming closer to him.
Well, at least the door had closed by itself.
That was it, Kazuya thought. He followed with his eyes the drunken Jin that headed for the bathroom and Kazuya could almost swear that he saw him fall before the door closed behind him. He rose up and excused himself, leaving Haruka with the rest of KAT-TUN’s members. He needed to see Jin, to see if he was alright. Hoping that the idiot didn’t bang his head onto a sink or something, Kazuya made his way through the sea of guests, seeming as if they were trying to stop him from getting quicker to Jin. Some tried to stop him for chitchat, others wanted God-knows-what and Kazuya couldn’t care less. He made excuses, lame ones, as he got rid of everyone. Finally he was in front of the bathroom’s door and opened it quickly, panic clutching onto his heart. And what welcomed him was totally unexpected.
Jin was laughing his ass off on the bathroom’s floor. He looked up and pointed a finger at Kazuya.
“Look, Kazu, I fell!” he happily stated what was obvious, looking very proud of himself.
“Oh god, he’s still an idiot…” Kazuya murmured and closed the door behind him; locking it better said and went to help Jin. “Up you go, Bakanishi.” He said while grabbing his arm and pulling the older one up.
“No!” Jin resisted and tried to free himself. “Don’t wanna go with you” he whined, making a baby face.
Kazuya reprimanded his urge to kick the stupid in the head, asking God to give him patience because he truly needed it. He steadied himself and grabbed Jin tighter, this time holding both of his arms.
“You can’t stay in a bathroom.” Kazuya said, stubbornly pulling the other one.
But he got pulled instead into Jin’s arms and landed on the floor with him. Kazuya felt his pulse accelerate and he was sure that it wasn’t because of the sudden move. He was too close to Jin.
“Why are you here?” Jin asked on a pleading voice. He buried his face in Kazuya’s hair and crawled into his lap like a child, snuggling closer to him.
This question surprised him. He didn’t expect it nor had an answer for this. Jin’s actions were cute, but awkward; it made him uncomfortable, it made him realize that he had been missing Jin. He felt the arms tighten around him and he felt he had to say something.
“It…just happened.” He answered; his voice hoarse and deep.
“Wow. Thanks for the explanation” Jin chuckled, not really paying attention to their discussion.
Kazuya felt guilty, but his fear of revealing what he was feeling or better said, of admitting that he was feeling something was greater than this. He tried to pull himself from the tight hug.
“Come on, let’s go.”
“Kazu…” Jin still refused to move. “I missed you…” he confessed with a whisper, his body stiffening a little like it’s the only part from Jin that realizes what is really happening. “Did you miss me too?” he asked with an innocent voice.
Shock. Kazuya’s breath stopped in his lungs and his brain stopped functioning. He must’ve misheard; Jin wouldn’t say something like this. But he was the one drunk, not him; so he definitely heard it. Kazuya blinked a few times and looked at the ceiling. He never realized that there have been tears in his eyes. The words still lingered inside him like an echo that made his heart ache. Kazuya lifted his hands to Jin’s back, slowly as if he was afraid of his own doing. He grabbed his shirt a little.
“…eah… me too.” He said with a choking voice, a slight tremble at the edge of it.
But it was enough. It was enough because Jin had heard him and he knew all that Kazuya wanted to say. Even if in the past years, he couldn’t understand the younger one anymore because they drifted apart, he was now slowly remembering who Kazuya was. What it had meant to Jin. And why he had become friend with him. Even if Kazuya couldn’t express all of his feelings in words, Jin knew everything from a simple gesture of his. They never needed more than this.
“Forgive me” he finally said the words that were hunting him day and night. “Forgive me for everything, Kazuya” he almost begged, his hands wandering on the younger’s back, trying to search for comfort.
Forgiveness? Does he have the right to offer something like this anymore? What had there been to forgive? Many, would answer a younger Kazuya. None, would answer a older one. He pulled back gently, his hands resting onto Jin’s chest. He didn’t have anything to offer.
“I have long forgiven you.” Kazuya said, looking down and never to Jin.
“No, you haven’t” Jin immediately replied. “If you had forgiven me, then you would talk with me. You wouldn’t ignore me like you do. You’d… Please, Kazuya” he finished, even if he didn’t know what he was begging for. He felt broken and he hated it. He hated it because he couldn’t put a name to the feeling he was having.
I wanted to talk with you. You were the one ignoring me. I wanted to show you that I noticed you more than I looked; I wanted you to notice me. I wanted you to want me forever by your side. But things don’t always go our way, do they?
But Kazuya could never say this aloud. He didn’t have the strength or the will to do so; to reveal himself and stand naked in front of someone who could easily hurt him. Like he repeatedly did.
“I do have forgiven you.” Kazuya said looking at Jin this time. “Otherwise I wouldn’t worry about you and come here to see if you’re alright.” He added, smiling a little. A broken smile, but nevertheless a smile.
Jin sighed. He didn’t know if he should believe him, something told him that the younger was still hiding something. Maybe he had indeed forgiven him, but they were still on bad terms. There was something that was keeping them from being with each other and Jin didn’t know what. And he was aware that Kazuya would never tell him.
“Thanks” he decided to say, even if he was still unsure that it was the right word to express what he was feeling.
A loud bang made both of them jump.
“Oi, Yamapi, the door is locked!” they heard a voice coming from the other part of the door.
“He, he, it’s MatsuJun” Jin giggled, reverting to his drunk state. He rose up and opened the door, meeting a slightly angered Jun. “Hey!” he high-fived with him and left the bathroom, heading where he saw Yamapi.
Kazuya remained on the floor, smiling stupidly at the people staring at him through the wide opened door that Jin had kindly left it so.
He indeed ended up hating this Christmas.
