Chapter 6
Kame stared at the contact number given by Reo yesterday and was fiddling with it, tossing it once in a few while as he pondered to himself whether to call Reo or not. “What should I say to Reo?” Kame sighed deeply as he realized to start a conversation with someone he barely knew was just too difficult. Should he just greet the young boy normally? Formal or casual?
Even though Kame was declared the spokesperson for KAT-TUN that he was the expert when it comes to talking, truth is he wasn’t. It all comes with practice, talking to himself in between his free time, murmuring his scripts and dialogs he was responsible for. It was such a big pressure for him but still he would love to overtake the challenge. For the rest of KAT-TUN, they would be depending on him; a show would definitely go down the drain with poor communication. It was a step to success and so he persevered.
This isn’t for a show or a concert where you are given a script and some guidelines to follow. This is a real life situation, Kame thought thoroughly. Kame rubbed his head in anger. Why can't he just dial the phone number? Simple, right?
Reality has no script, no storyline that one can guess like those fan fiction writers, it just happens so naturally yet smoothly with no warning just like no telling of what to come. A painful reality one has to live in. A painful world one has to face.
“This concerns our happiness” Kame whispered sadly, once again trying to push those harsh words Jin had said to him. Whatever happens, no matter what, he will still love Jin and no one else. Kame is really trying his best to understand Jin's step and point of view on this issue. He understands why Jin is so stubborn and is not ready to go against his own words. For that, Kame loved Jin for those silly characteristic of his.
Kame rather lives life as a single loner than having himself fooled by trying to date other girls. He could try lying to others but deep in his heart, he knew he could not fool his heart.
It is Jin and only Jin whom he will ever love in his entire life. Living his life alone till old age, pre-say if he does not get his lover back now, he can’t imagine the ultimate loneliness he would feel then. Loneliness ever now he can't take, being alone... without Jin in his life.
“If you don’t come back to me, Jin, I swear I’ll end my life. It is so meaningless living for myself, without you by my side. What was the point of living anyway? Having to see you everyday but not able to touch; feel the love you had for me. I don’t want to live in that kind of life. I really don’t want to.” Kame speaks softly, wiping a single tear away as he retrieved that piece of card from the floor which he threw a moment ago. Kame gathers his thoughts and himself together.
I have to try nevertheless. I promised you and to myself that I would not admit defeat without a fight. I can’t take back my words. I will prove it to you, Jin. Kame smiled a little, he was starting to sound so much like Jin. Jin's silly characteristics have really rubbed on him over the years they've been together.
Kame heaved out a deep breathe as he slowly pinned in the number, staring at his hand phone for a moment before finally pressing the button to call. Biting his lip, Kame brought the small object closer to his ear as he waited patiently with beating heart for an answer.
--------- ` ----------
Slurping his noodles happily, Jin suddenly stopped eating having heard a soft melody, recognizing immediately as he heard his own singing voice playing around the living room.
“What? Real Face?” Jin whispered as he looked for the source of the melody, getting irritated as it seemed to have gone louder as seconds passed by, and finally finding the wanted object, flickered a slight red light.
It was Reo’s hand phone.
“Reo! Your phone!” Jin shouted out loud knowing that Reo would hear him as he went back to his eating, slurping the noodles ever graciously and stopped once again when he realized that the music … no, ring tone was still playing loudly in the background. It was getting annoying.
“Reo!” Jin called again, and after a few seconds of silence, Jin sighed as it was his second time putting down his chopsticks on the bowl. Jin make his way towards the coffee table near by and was about to pick up the phone himself when a hand grabbed it fast and in a flash of motion.
“I’ll pick it. Thanks, onii-chan!” Reo flashed an innocent smile on his flawless face to his elder brother, murmuring through his breath as he answered the phone there and at that point of time, right in front of Jin not knowing that it might have been someone important. Someone like Kame perhaps.
“Moshi-moshi. Akanishi Reo desu!” Reo greeted in a cheerful tone, giggling slightly at the sight of his brother’s look, Jin looked kind of pissed off. It made Reo smile. Jin look really pissed off with that frown places on his face, his eyes glaring at Reo.
“What is with that tone? You’re not a receptionist, for god’s sake!” Jin muttered, moving back to his original place. “What’s with the new ring tone? Of all ring tones, you chose that one.” Jin started to complain, unnoticed that Reo was still on the phone.
Reo paused for a moment, forgetting that he was taking a call as he looked up to his brother and proudly said, “Because KAT-TUN is my favorite band and I will support them no matter what, even at this time of crisis. And of course, do you know that Akanishi Jin’s voice is the nicest of them all? Such melodist, powerful vocal he has! It’s so superb!” Reo ranted on as he gave Jin a thumb up, pretending as if it was not Akanishi Jin that was right in front of him.
Jin rolled his eyes but a smile crept on his gorgeous face, blushing slightly all the way at the compliment but tried to cover it up, Jin didn't want Reo to see. It felt really good having someone praising your ability, knowing that your hard work was all worth it. “Baka! Don’t make your caller wait for so long! You’re on a call, remember?” Jin snapped playfully at Reo still smiling slightly.
Reo raised his eyebrows in confusion as he felt something on his right hand, noticing it was his hand phone, he let out a small shriek, “Oh! I forgot!” Without any hesitation, Reo placed the object to his ear, “Gomenasai! I was talking to my brother and I forgot all about this phone call! I’m really sorry.” Reo bow to the open air as if the person is in front of him.
Jin shook his head, as he began eating his noodles once again but this time, he felt really happy by Reo’s earlier words, smiling non stop as he slurped on the noodles.
“That’s okay. I’ve heard - Jin’s voice, scolding you in a playful manner. I’ve heard. I … really miss that voice.” The voice from the other line spoke in a rather sad tone.
Kazuya-kun.
Reo had almost voiced that name out loud, closing his mouth shut immediately, hoping that his brother didn’t find anything amidst. He glanced at said person who was having his noodles, noticing that Jin was looking so cheerful, enjoying every little bite of his food. Reo was glad.
It must be the impact of my words.
Reo was relieved though as he quickly made his way to his room, remembering to lock the door after him, “Kazuya-kun, you called. Are you alright?” Reo ask as worriedly as soon as he was sounded-prove in his room.
“Hmm, I’m okay. I’m sorry for making you worried. I just miss him so much.” Kame didn't mean to say it so aloud. He truly misses Jin.
I should have known that Kazuya-kun would probably contact me soon, now it feels like I had made him feel sad, coincidentally letting him hear the interaction between us brothers.
Something must be done and it starts right now.
Nodding his head, Reo replied hastily as he grabbed his jacket and put it on, “Then I’ll see you at your place in 10 minutes time! See you!” he ended the conversation, placing it onto to his pockets, taking a glance at the mirror before walking out of his bedroom.
“Onii-chan, I’m going out for awhile. It looks like mom and dad won’t be home soon. But if anything happens, just call me on my hand phone, okay? Onii-chan! Are you listening to me?” Reo raised his voice higher and louder getting the older man’s full attention he wanted.
“I hear you, Reo. Don’t be so worried over such a small matter. I know how to take care of myself. Where are you heading anyway? It seems important.” Jin asked in curiosity, wanting to find out more, "Is it a girlfriend?" Jin jokes playfully making Reo blush deeply as his head drop low.
“You don’t have to know.” Reo stick out his tongue at his brother, walking towards the entrance, putting on his shoe standing.
Taking one last glance at his brother, Reo shouted, “Onii-chan, remember to call if anything ever happens! Don’t forget! I’ll be back soon!”
Jin stared at Reo’s retreating figure as he put down his chopsticks in resignation. He had lost the appetite to eat, knowing by heart who Reo was meeting, without any doubt.
He had joked about Reo having a girlfriend, but...
He knew.
Even if he was called Bakanishi for a reason, this time he wasn’t stupid. He could not walk but he wasn’t blind to the things unfolding right in front of his eyes.
“Whatever you plot, Reo, I am still not going to change my mind.” Jin stubbornly declared silently to himself as he tries his best to finish the bowl of noodles in front of him.
--------- ` ----------
Ten minutes had passed in a swift motion as Kame waited patiently for Reo to arrive as he had promised to. He still could not understand Reo’s words to him, saying that he would meet up with him here - his temporary house throughout his two weeks of stay in this country side.
How did Reo know where I’m staying? That couldn’t be possible! Only Nakamaru knew where I live. Besides I didn’t even tell him. Maybe Reo was just joking about the whole thing. Why would he spend his quality time helping his brother’s … ex-boyfriend?
It was really painful saying the last word but as hurtful as it was, it is the truth. Officially wise, they had indeed broken up with Jin ending their relationship a day ago. He chose not to believe so, they’re still together and Kame would not stop pestering Jin until he concedes his defeat.
I want you back, Jin.
Even if I have to go through a rollercoaster of emotions just to win your heart back. I won’t stop until I’m exhausted.
Kame was brought out of his thoughts as he heard a ringing sound, realizing that it was the door bell, he hurriedly walked down the stairs and opened the door.
“Reo. How you know - I mean, how…” Kame stuttered, surprised to see the younger man standing outside the entrance.
“I’ll explain later. Shall we go somewhere and talk, Kazuya-kun?”
Kame could only nod his head and followed.
--------- ` ----------
Putting his arms on the railings, his gaze turned to look at the beautiful scenery in front of him, the shimmering blue orbs of the ocean moving so gracefully every second, the cool breeze blowing at his direction, messing up his hair a little. He likes this place.
This is so beautiful.
“Kazuya-kun … Hmm, is it okay if I call you that?” Reo tried to start a conversation since they had been in silence throughout the journey, noticing that Kame had been admiring the scenery the moment they arrived. He seems to be in deep thoughts since Reo met up with him.
Kame turned to face Reo, smiling, “Hmm, I don’t mind you calling me that. Not many people call me by my first name anyway.”
“What does onii-chan calls you, Kazuya-kun?” Reo asked smiling. He wanted to know more about their relationship.
“What does Jin call me?” Kame whispered, entering his dreamy la la land and at the same time replying to Reo’s question, “Jin … Usually he calls me Kame in public but in private, he calls me Kazu or Kazu-chan and if he is being all romantic to me, he calls me ... baby.” Kame didn't realize what he had said until he saw Reo's surprise look on his face. Kame blushed lowering his head.
Reo was blushing madly at the very last word; it was just too mushy for him to take it.
“I was the one who told Nakamaru-kun about onii-chan’s hiding place. I totally reached to a point where I could no longer understand what exactly onii-chan is doing, he is hurting you both. Since its onii-chan, he probably wouldn’t make the first move so I did.” Reo shook the thought of Kame and Jin in the bedroom just purring 'baby' to each other. Oh god. Reo shook his head again.
Kame nodded his head in understanding, “So that is why you knew …”
“Nakamaru-kun, the rest of KAT-TUN members and I will give our all to bring you two back together. Onii-chan could lie to himself but he could never defy destiny.” Reo emphasized.
His eyes shimmering with tears, Kame softly whispered, “Arigato, Reo.”
--------- ` ----------
Kame peeped from the door, carefully scanning the place with his perfect eyesight before nervously whispering to the other person who had already entered, “Reo! Are you sure about this? Maybe I should just go home.” Kame was about to turn and walked out when he felt a pair of hands on his arms, pulling him in and not letting him leave.
“Kazuya-kun. You don’t have to worry. Onii-chan would not be back for at least a couple of hours more, he said so himself stressing the word - I’ll be back when it’s time for dinner. Besides my parents won’t be back till tomorrow, they’re visiting my grandparents in Tokyo.” Reo assured, giving him a pat on the shoulders.
Kame cringe his eyebrow in worry, “Jin went out by himself, alone? Reo, would he be okay in that condition? I don’t mean to sound like a busy body but …” he stopped, trying to think of suitable words to follow up his sentence, Kame would not want to be misunderstood.
Reo chuckle a small laugh, “Don’t think that way, alright? It’s normal to feel worried but Onii-chan is always so stubborn, no one can stop him from his will. We really had little control over him. We ended up giving in to his wants. As long as we believe that he will be alright then there is nothing to worry about.” Reo nodded to agree with Kame's worrying over Jin's conditions.
The worry seems to have vanished and a smile lifted on his face, expressing that he understood what Reo had just said.
“This is the kitchen. Since Okaasan isn’t here, I had to cook for our lunch today.” Reo showed him around the area.
“You cooked? It’s so sweet to cook for your brother and yourself. What did you cook, Reo?” Kame smiled feeling a little at ease.
Blushing sheepishly, “Well I normally don’t do the cooking but today is an exception so I cooked what I can, nothing special just ramen - Tokyo style Ramen. Talking about cooking, you’re good in it, right? So for today’s dinner, I’m counting on you.” Reo walked past Kame and looked through the cold refrigerator, urging for the latter to follow suit.
“Go ahead and take a look, Kazuya-kun. Make yourself at home. I’m just going to take a short bath.” Receiving a nod from Kame, Reo made his way towards his bedroom, allowing Kame to take a closer look at all the items in the fridge.
“Hmm, what should I cook?” Kame pondered.
----------- ` ----------
Kame smiled, satisfied at all those dishes he whipped out in just a few minutes, it’s really a great feeling to be able to cook for someone you love. It had been such a long time since he cooked for Jin, he can’t wait for his lover to come home and taste it. At the same time, this wasn't the same as when they were together in their Tokyo apartment Jin had left behind for Kame all alone.
“Wow! It’s done? Rice, prawn tempura, mixed vegetables and grilled chicken? You managed all these in just a short time? It’s really amazing!” Reo exclaimed excitedly, wanting to say more words of appraisement when he heard the familiar sound - the door bell. His head shot up towards the direction of the door.
Reo smiled, “Onii-chan is back!” He made no hesitation to rush to the entrance door with Kame looking at the figure, clasping his figures nervously.
How will Jin react to this?

“Wow! It’s done? Rice, prawn tempura, mixed vegetables and grilled chicken? You managed all these in just a short time? It’s really amazing!” Reo exclaimed excitedly, wanting to say more words of appraisement when he heard the familiar sound - the door bell. His head shot up towards the direction of the door.
Reo smiled, “Onii-chan is back!” He made no hesitation to rush to the entrance door with Kame looking at the figure, clasping his figures nervously.
How will Jin react to this?
