Flight 109 - Destination: First Love [Chapter 10]
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Anybody miss me? :) First of all so sorry for the super late update. I have been crammed with RL work lately it is so hard to find time for my much-needed-to-keep-me-sane fangirling activities. And when I finally got the time, I get distracted by Arashi Waku Waku school report and anthem song recording that I wasted all night putting it on repeat whilst I stare at Jun's scanned shop photos. This chapter is a result of all that staring I did XD
Below I embedded an audio to support reader's imagination :) And yes, it is Matsumoto Jun's actual voice. No tricks XD (I know, I know I am such a pervert). You can have it for your private collection here
Anyways, without further ado, here's the 10th chapter!
And I'll be out of town for 5 days, so please be patient with the next update :)
The story is inspired by yeppie . As usual, comments, inputs and criticisms are highly appreciated. And if you haven't read the previous chapter you can always refer to the master post.

「CHAPTER 10: 120% OF LOVE」
23 year old Matsumoto Jun groans as the constant banging on his door is forcing him to wake up. The sun is not even up yet, he still has hours before his scheduled rehearsal for the day and he is dying to spend those hours in dreamland. Due to his busy schedules he hadn't had a good night sleep lately. Who would visit him this early in the morning.. He lazily drags his feet to the door, and the moment he opened the door, his bad mood is completely gone. Perished. Entirely.
"Ohayou!" Minako greets him with a big smile and a light peck on his cheek. She brings two big plastic bags with her and let herself into the apartment, along with the much needed warmth into Jun's heart.
Jun still leans half of his weight to the door, but a small smile appears in his half-asleep expression. He hasn't seen his girlfriend for the past few days. He misses her and welcomes the surprise. Within their 2 weeks old relationship, it has been nothing but bliss with their constant arguments and sweet surprises just like this one. He has never say the word relationship, and it is not like she ever asked to confirm. But as things go for the past two weeks, it could be nothing less than a relationship.
He closes the door and follows Minako inside. He scratches his head and mumbles his 'ohayou' as he walks lazily back to his room again.
Minako raises an eyebrow as she watches her sleepy boyfriend seemingly going straight back to his bed without saying anything. But she giggles instead when she hears water runs from the bathroom. He sounds like he is brushing his teeth. His self conciousness is so dorky sometimes. She unpacks the stuff she brings in her plastic bags to the kitchen table. Some freshly baked bread and indregients to make some breakfast for two. As she finishes unpacking she tilts her head as if thinking what to make. Cooking isn't really her specialty, but yesterday Jun has complained how he has no time for breakfast lately that she decides to do this for him. But she has forgotten the tomboy in her that hardly ever cooks anything for anyone (even her own self) as she projects the image of this day yesterday.
Feeling lost, she decides to ask the sleepy man. Hopefully he is in the mood for something simple to make. Like sandwiches. She can handle sandwiches like a pro.
The sleepy man has already lying on his bed again with his back to the door, hugging his bolster tightly. Minako lies her own body beside him on the bed and put a hand around his waist.
"Hey sleepyhead, what do you want for breakfast?" She whispers softly in his ears.
He pulls her hand to hug him tighter as an answer and turns to her. In fact, he doesn't seem that sleepy anymore. He looks right into her eyes with that intense look that's affecting Minako's heart to beat faster and faster. He runs his hand through her hair until he gets to touch the skin of her nape and pulls her into a hungry kiss.
"I want you.." He whispers huskily as he pulls away for a second to catch his breath. He closes in the small gap between their bodies as he devours her lips.
Minako now can feel a hard bulge pressing into her groin with just thin pieces of clothing in between. Jun slips his hand underneath her shirt and starts to caress her bare back. She has been wanting this. He has been wanting this.
They haven't done it yet, at this stage of their relationship. They haven't even passed second base yet. Not that he hasn't been hinting on it, or that she stops him. It is as if both of them has been feeling the same fear, that when they go all the way, this love is going to burn them more and more. Both would never be able to let go of each other. So they always stop themselves when things are about to go further, blaming it on time. Blaming it on the wrong atmosphere and situation.
They haven't even told each other the word love.
But neither two is going to be able to stop now. Jun has put himself on top of her and tracing her neck with his lips as he starts to unbutton her shirt.
"Are you eatable?" He asks in a low voice to her ear as he nibbles it. "I don't mind raw.."
Minako giggles both at the sensation of his tongue on her skin and his words. Jun's hands doesn't touch her yet though as he quickly undresses her. He pulls away her shirt and her bra, and pulls her skirt and underpants in one go. Within seconds, she is stark naked underneath him without even a strand left to cover an inch of her skin whilst he is still perfectly clothed in his pyjamas.
Her hands reach the buttons of his pyjamas to undo it, but he softly pulls her hand away.
She pouts and puts her arms covering her breasts as he continues to bore his eyes on every inch of her bare skin, "No fair.."
He chuckles at her blushing cheeks and pulls her hands off her chest as well, still not blinking as he swallows the sight of her raw body. He then puts his weight on his knees and leans closer to her face with a questioning look. A question he wishes he doesn't have to utter out loud, that she would understand silently.
Despite her strong personality, Minako is not one with the utmost confidence that she is a beautiful girl. She doesn't feel ugly, but she knows that she is nowhere near perfect. She likes herself, but she knows she is no beauty compare to actresses who are dying to be where she is right now. To girls Jun can easily get to be where she is right now. But instead of them, here she is. Chosen and feel loved.
And with just the way Jun looks at her, she knows that right now, right there, she is the most beautiful girl in his eyes.
"It's okay.." She shakily whispers, as if hearing Jun's silent question. "I want you, too.."
Jun squeezes her hand tight, she can feel the sweat on his palms. Then he kisses her again softly on her lips, then neck, then her pair of nipples one by one. The kisses he plants all over her body are so soft and careful as if she is this vulnerable glass that is about to break apart if he puts in more strength into it. She melts right there in his arms.
She gasps as he places those soft kisses on her opening. And his tongue enters her, her soft fingers pushes her legs apart softly to give him more room to do his magic. It is some magic. She whimpers his name as she feels small drops of sweats trickling down her spine along with shivers that she can feel from head to toe, until the very tip of the strands of her hair.
Jun finally replaces his tongue with his fingers as he pulls himself up to look straight into her eyes as she comes and drowns in pleasure. She is out of breath, all sweaty and wet.
When she finally gets a hold on herself, she finally opens her eyes and finds Jun smiling at her. She pulls his neck closer and kisses him passionately on his lips, and before Jun realizes it, she has pulls herself up and sits on his lap quickly unbuttoning his pyjamas. He pulls away his pants along with his underwear as well, revealing his manhood to her for the first time.
She smiles at the sight and stroke it softly with a finger, which makes Jun whimpers at her touch. It is her turn to replace her finger and hand with her tongue and kisses, sending Jun into oblivion she just experienced minutes ago. But it doesn't last long, Jun rather hastily pulls her up back to sit on his lap.
And without further ado, with all the passion burning inside, they finally made love.
There's no turning back now.
---
Jun shifts in his seat several times, trying to concentrate with the script in front of him to no avail. He and the rest of the members of Arashi are having a break from their weekly concert rehearsal. He has his butai rehearsal early tomorrow morning, it is only weeks before opening night. He needs his usual complete dedication. He needs his concentration.
But all he could think about is her. Or dirty thoughts of her. How she holds up her long black hair as she straddles on his lap. How her skin glows with sweats under the sunlight peeking from between the small gap of his closed curtains. And how.. How her naked body is one of the most beautiful thing he ever laid eyes on, he ever touched. And how he craves to do it over and over again..
And the hard on that makes him keeps shifting in his seat is caused by that very images in his head. Maybe he should call her to ask whether he can stop by after rehearsal tonight. He takes out his phone from his pocket and stare at it for a while. Will he sounds too perverted? Is he being too perverted about her?
Something is bothering him as well. He didn't manage to say it to her. He should have done so. It was not just sex for him, it was making love with some he really cares about. He really has fallen in love with. He should have told her how he can't stop thinking about her, wanting her.. That all this is not just lust..
But he couldn't say anything but look at each other as they are having their real breakfast after taking a shower. All he can do is keeping her close, circling his arm around her waist and caressing her hair or squeezing her fingers in his hand. This is what he has been afraid of by going all the way with her. He feels closer to her. He feels he would never be able to let her go. And for once, she keeps her mouth shut as well and comfortably lying her head on his chest.
They could stay like that forever.
As he stares at his phone, Jun doesn't realize that Aiba Masaki keeps eyeing him from the other side of the room. Getting ready to stretch out his master plan to reconcile Jun and Sho who hasn't uttered any word to Jun until that very day. Aiba takes a deep breath as he takes the first step of his 'Member Reconcilation A' masterplan.
And when Aiba calls out Jun's name to help him and Sho with their new choregraphy, Jun immediately looks up. Putting away his thoughts and phone for a while.

Hanazono Minako's heart still beats two times faster than the usual rate half a day later. Which is such not a good idea since she is not having dinner with her father and brother. As her father starts to tell them stories about his shooting for his next film, Minako finds her mind wanders.
He and Jun did it for about three times this morning. That one time on his bed. Another one when he insists for her to accompany him in the shower. She has never felt so wanted, so needed. And they can't keep their hands off each other afterwards.
"I'd be late for work," He groans to her ear as they shared their goodbye kiss as they headed to the door. But one thing leads to another and they ended up doing it again almost fully clothed, her back pinned to the wall, just by the door.
She can't help but giggled shyly at the memory. Which, her brother, Kenji notices and grins at her.
"Dad didn't say anything funny.." Kenji teases his younger sister with a soft nudge.
Minako erases her silly grin altogether and drinks her ice tea, ignoring her brother who keeps eyeing her as if trying to read her mind.
"Hey, Dad," Kenji is still keeping his wide grin, "You remember you once told us the secret of acting as if you are in love on screen?"
Hanazono Shinobu nods a couple of times his handsome face to his eldest, "The eyes would never lie, Ken-chan. At that time I'd sit in the park and watch lovebirds look at each other."
"I bet the look in those lovebirds' eyes are just like Minako-chan's right now, right, Dad?" The senior actor's answer is what just Kenji needs to drop the ultimate bomb of his favorite hobby to tease his younger sister.
The Dad follows his son's eyeline and studies his blushing daughter. "Dad, don't listen to him!" She can only defend herself weakly against the strong offense.
"So who's the lucky guy?" Her darling brother raises an eyebrow to her.
"Why didn't you ask him to join our dinner?" Her role model dad also can't help getting curious, giving her an identical big grin as the younger version of him who sits right just beside him.
Minako rolls her eyes. Just as expected from them. But she hesitates before she answers them. She really doesn't want to lie to them, but telling them about Jun feels a bit too early as well. She is not ready with their questions, especially when they know what Jun does for a living. Not that she needs to explain it to them by the time she would say his name...
But she's saved by the bell. Her phone rings.
She checks the caller ID and smiles brightly, completely forgetting that there are two pairs of eyes looking at her with genuine interest.
"Dad, do you mind if I take this outside?" She beams and quickly leaves her seat without even waiting for an answer. Her dad and brother can only laugh at her behaviour.
Some questions can be answered without any answers at all.
As Minako finally finds privacy at a corner of the restaurant, she picks up the call.
"Moshi-moshi.."
"Hey.." Matsumoto Jun's voice is husky and sweet, "What are you doing?"
"Having dinner with Dad and Kenji.. You've finished your rehearsals?"
"Yeah.. And Sho-kun finally talks to me today."
"Really?"
"Uhm.."
"That's great news.."
Silence. But Minako doesn't mind it. Her heart already makes enough noise as it is.
"Ano.." His hesitation is heard clearly from this end of the phoneline, "Is it possible for me to see you right now? After dinner?"
"Of course!" She answers a bit too soon, but she doesn't care any longer. "Do you want to stop by at my place or.."
"No.. I mean, as soon as possible.. Just anywhere nearby the restaurant you're at right now.."
"Well, I'm at Odaiba so maybe we can.."
"I'll get there as soon as I can and just call me when you're done?" He cuts her midsentence, his tone of urgency is obvious.
"Okay.." She nods dumbfoundedly, it is only seconds later that she realize there's no way he can see her nodding.
"Okay.." But she can hear him smiling over the phone.
Minako walks back to her table as soon as possible after the phone call.
"Dad.." Minako gives her Dad a hug, "Would you be mad if I leave this dinner early? Something kinda came up.."
"Can I guess?" He gives her a wink.
"You don't need to. I promise I'll stop by at home tomorrow and tell you everything myself."
Kenji nods at her as well, "I bet this guy is that special, huh?"
Minako only cheerily laughs at that and give each man a peck on their cheeks.
Kenji squeezes her arm before she goes, "Just remember, don't fall to hard.."
She tilts her head at that, "Meaning?"
"You tend to go overboard on things. But if you fall in love, don't give out all 100 percent of your love entirely to him. Whoever he is. Leave about 10 percent or so just in case.."
"Just in case of what?"
"Just in case he breaks your heart.." He seriously adds.
But Minako laughs it off and returns her brother's concern with a pat on his back, "You make love sounds like math!"
When her sister is already fleeing with delight and finally out of sight, Hanazono Shinobu gives his son another pat on the back.
"Seems like your warning is running late," The older man points out.
The older man is right. Hanazono Minako has give it her all. 120 percent of her love, if possible, without leaving any leftovers for any unexpected happenings such as having her heart broken.
It is out of the question.
---
Minako finds her Jun-kun sitting on a bench by the bay all by himself, staring at the calm water right in front of him.
"Jun-kun.." She calls to him, causing the man to turn his head and reveals his sexy smile. He pulls himself up to greet her with a hug. She walks into his arms slowly, coming home.
"Hey.." He mumbles to her hair. "How's dinner?"
"Can't get you out of my head.." She answers in a soft voice, "How's rehearsal?"
He pulls away to brush the tip of their noses together and lets out a small chuckle.
"Couldn't put it better than you did.. I made more mistakes than Aiba-chan."
"Hmm.."
"Can you sleep over tonight?" He plays with her hair.
She nods, "I need to pick up some stuff first at home, though.."
"Yeah, we can do that.."
"Okay.."
"Hmm.."
Jun gives a quick soft kiss on her lips.
"I miss you.." She whispers.
He kisses her again 5 seconds longer.
"Minako.." He mumbles to her ear in a husky voice.
"Yeah?"
"Aishiteru.."
"EH?"
Minako suddenly realizes that she expresses her astonishment too bluntly. Jun completely pulls away from their embrace, scratching his head with a deep red shade on his cheeks unforgivingly obvious under the moonlight.
"Sorry.." She mumbles in a low voice. "It is just too unexpected.."
"No.. no.." Jun stares at his feet, "It came out wrongly.."
She immediately looks up and Jun's expression screams out panic, realizing what his last sentence implies.
"I mean not that I don't love you.. I do.. I mean.. I just.. My brain orders to say 'daisuki' but I don't know why it came out that way.." He stutters throughout his attempt in explaining himself.
And Minako can't stop herself from bursting out laughing.
"Why, thank you," He sarcastically remarks as he takes a seat again at the bench, "Man, this is embarassing."
Minako follows him and sits right next to him, but she still can't stop laughing.
"It's my first time to actually say that word outside acting, you know.. So it helps if you take it seriously a bit," He pouts.
Minako gives him a tight hug, even though she is still chuckling from the amusement, "I'm sorry."
"That's it," He puts his arm around her, holding her tighter, "That'd be the last time I would ever say that as long as I live."
He corrects himself right after, "Except for acting out of a script."
"Jun-kun," Minako mumbles to his long neck, shutting him up.
"Hmm?"
"Mo aishiteru.."
Jun loosens his hug to look at her eyes. Nobody is laughing now. He pushes away some strands of hair off her face before his lips meet hers again.
There's no turning back now. They can't possibly let go of each other after this. There's no possible way.
"Konnichiwa, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome aboard Japan Airlines flight 109 bound for Tokyo.
We are sorry for the delay in our departure.
Please fasten your seat belt while the seat belt sign is on.
From captain Kimura and the crew, it is our pleasure to serve you today.
If there is anything we can do to make your flight more enjoyable, please let us know. Thank you.
In a few moments we'll be screening a safety video about this aircraft.
You'll also find a safety briefing card in the seat pocket in front of you.
We require that you give us your careful attention."
Jun and Minako sits by each other, Minako by the aisle and Jun by the window. They are the only two people in the first class cabin.
"Jun-kun," Minako hisses, "Fasten your seatbelt!"
"Eh?" Jun finally looks away from the window he has been staring at for the last 5 minutes. "Oh.."
Minako sighs. He has been absent minded ever since the phone call he got from his girlfriend. Something is clearly bothering him. Minako has been dying to ask but still arguing within herself whether she should or not.
She finally decides that she would try, "Looks like something is in your mind.."
"Hmm.."
"Mind to share?"
Jun gives her a sideway glance, "I don't know.."
"Well, it is up to you.."
Silence. He looks away to the window again. But he speaks up not long after.
"Rei-chan.. I mean my current girlfriend.."
"Yeah?"
"She just sounds weird. Something is telling me that something is wrong.."
"Oh.."
Minako regrets her decision to ask him. A sharp needle pins her heart now. But the look on Jun's face is harder to bear.
She takes his hand and give it a warm squeeze. Jun turns facing her immediately at the touch.
"Don't worry," She mutters softly. "You'll see her in a bit and everything will be straighten out.."
He squeezes her hand back just with the same amount of warmth she just gave him, "Thanks.."
"Ladies and gentlemen:
We will be taking off shortly. Please make sure that your seat belt is securely fastened. Thank you."
And as the plane soars to the sky, both Minako and Jun doesn't let go of their hands, tangling fingers with each other.
"Ah, damn," Jun groans all of a sudden in the midst take off, finally letting go of her hand.
"What?"
"I need to pee."
"We are at take off!"
But Jun already unfasten his seatbelt and walks out of his seat, forcing his way out between the seat in front of them and Minako's legs. Minako can only shakes her head as she watches him walks quickly to the toilet. That part of him always amazes her. Nothing seems to scare the guy.
On his sudden move out of his seat, Jun accidentally kicks his unzipped bag by the floor. His passport and boarding pass drops out of it. Minako picks it up.
As she does, she can't help to not take a peek at his passport photo. As expected, he still looks super kakkoi in the picture.
Minako chuckles as she opens his bag to put the passport back in.
But something catches her eyes. Her smile fade away.
A box. A deep red velvet small box.
Minako tries to fight the urge to reach for it but to no avail. She slowly takes it out and open the box. Just to find a white-gold ring with a small elegant diamond right inside.
There's a carving underneath as she studies the ring.
「愛してる」
Jun
"Aishiteru," She reads the word in a whisper.
Minako remembers that word. The word she heard only once before.
"That's it. That'd be the last time I would ever say that as long as I live."
"Liar.." She whispers softly to herself, accompanied with a sad smile.
And a tear. She can't stop that one. And the one after that.
There really is no turning back now. It is time to let him go.

Aiba takes a deep breath as he takes the first step of his 'Member Reconcilation A' masterplan.
And when Aiba calls out Jun's name to help him and Sho with their new choregraphy, Jun immediately looks up. Putting away his thoughts and phone for a while.

Hanazono Minako's heart still beats two times faster than the usual rate half a day later. Which is such not a good idea since she is not having dinner with her father and brother. As her father starts to tell them stories about his shooting for his next film, Minako finds her mind wanders.
He and Jun did it for about three times this morning. That one time on his bed. Another one when he insists for her to accompany him in the shower. She has never felt so wanted, so needed. And they can't keep their hands off each other afterwards.
"I'd be late for work," He groans to her ear as they shared their goodbye kiss as they headed to the door. But one thing leads to another and they ended up doing it again almost fully clothed, her back pinned to the wall, just by the door.
She can't help but giggled shyly at the memory. Which, her brother, Kenji notices and grins at her.
"Dad didn't say anything funny.." Kenji teases his younger sister with a soft nudge.
Minako erases her silly grin altogether and drinks her ice tea, ignoring her brother who keeps eyeing her as if trying to read her mind.
"Hey, Dad," Kenji is still keeping his wide grin, "You remember you once told us the secret of acting as if you are in love on screen?"
Hanazono Shinobu nods a couple of times his handsome face to his eldest, "The eyes would never lie, Ken-chan. At that time I'd sit in the park and watch lovebirds look at each other."
"I bet the look in those lovebirds' eyes are just like Minako-chan's right now, right, Dad?" The senior actor's answer is what just Kenji needs to drop the ultimate bomb of his favorite hobby to tease his younger sister.
The Dad follows his son's eyeline and studies his blushing daughter. "Dad, don't listen to him!" She can only defend herself weakly against the strong offense.
"So who's the lucky guy?" Her darling brother raises an eyebrow to her.
"Why didn't you ask him to join our dinner?" Her role model dad also can't help getting curious, giving her an identical big grin as the younger version of him who sits right just beside him.
Minako rolls her eyes. Just as expected from them. But she hesitates before she answers them. She really doesn't want to lie to them, but telling them about Jun feels a bit too early as well. She is not ready with their questions, especially when they know what Jun does for a living. Not that she needs to explain it to them by the time she would say his name...
But she's saved by the bell. Her phone rings.
She checks the caller ID and smiles brightly, completely forgetting that there are two pairs of eyes looking at her with genuine interest.
"Dad, do you mind if I take this outside?" She beams and quickly leaves her seat without even waiting for an answer. Her dad and brother can only laugh at her behaviour.
Some questions can be answered without any answers at all.
As Minako finally finds privacy at a corner of the restaurant, she picks up the call.
"Moshi-moshi.."
"Hey.." Matsumoto Jun's voice is husky and sweet, "What are you doing?"
"Having dinner with Dad and Kenji.. You've finished your rehearsals?"
"Yeah.. And Sho-kun finally talks to me today."
"Really?"
"Uhm.."
"That's great news.."
Silence. But Minako doesn't mind it. Her heart already makes enough noise as it is.
"Ano.." His hesitation is heard clearly from this end of the phoneline, "Is it possible for me to see you right now? After dinner?"
"Of course!" She answers a bit too soon, but she doesn't care any longer. "Do you want to stop by at my place or.."
"No.. I mean, as soon as possible.. Just anywhere nearby the restaurant you're at right now.."
"Well, I'm at Odaiba so maybe we can.."
"I'll get there as soon as I can and just call me when you're done?" He cuts her midsentence, his tone of urgency is obvious.
"Okay.." She nods dumbfoundedly, it is only seconds later that she realize there's no way he can see her nodding.
"Okay.." But she can hear him smiling over the phone.
Minako walks back to her table as soon as possible after the phone call.
"Dad.." Minako gives her Dad a hug, "Would you be mad if I leave this dinner early? Something kinda came up.."
"Can I guess?" He gives her a wink.
"You don't need to. I promise I'll stop by at home tomorrow and tell you everything myself."
Kenji nods at her as well, "I bet this guy is that special, huh?"
Minako only cheerily laughs at that and give each man a peck on their cheeks.
Kenji squeezes her arm before she goes, "Just remember, don't fall to hard.."
She tilts her head at that, "Meaning?"
"You tend to go overboard on things. But if you fall in love, don't give out all 100 percent of your love entirely to him. Whoever he is. Leave about 10 percent or so just in case.."
"Just in case of what?"
"Just in case he breaks your heart.." He seriously adds.
But Minako laughs it off and returns her brother's concern with a pat on his back, "You make love sounds like math!"
When her sister is already fleeing with delight and finally out of sight, Hanazono Shinobu gives his son another pat on the back.
"Seems like your warning is running late," The older man points out.
The older man is right. Hanazono Minako has give it her all. 120 percent of her love, if possible, without leaving any leftovers for any unexpected happenings such as having her heart broken.
It is out of the question.

Minako finds her Jun-kun sitting on a bench by the bay all by himself, staring at the calm water right in front of him.
"Jun-kun.." She calls to him, causing the man to turn his head and reveals his sexy smile. He pulls himself up to greet her with a hug. She walks into his arms slowly, coming home.
"Hey.." He mumbles to her hair. "How's dinner?"
"Can't get you out of my head.." She answers in a soft voice, "How's rehearsal?"
He pulls away to brush the tip of their noses together and lets out a small chuckle.
"Couldn't put it better than you did.. I made more mistakes than Aiba-chan."
"Hmm.."
"Can you sleep over tonight?" He plays with her hair.
She nods, "I need to pick up some stuff first at home, though.."
"Yeah, we can do that.."
"Okay.."
"Hmm.."
Jun gives a quick soft kiss on her lips.
"I miss you.." She whispers.
He kisses her again 5 seconds longer.
"Minako.." He mumbles to her ear in a husky voice.
"Yeah?"
"Aishiteru.."
"EH?"
Minako suddenly realizes that she expresses her astonishment too bluntly. Jun completely pulls away from their embrace, scratching his head with a deep red shade on his cheeks unforgivingly obvious under the moonlight.
"Sorry.." She mumbles in a low voice. "It is just too unexpected.."
"No.. no.." Jun stares at his feet, "It came out wrongly.."
She immediately looks up and Jun's expression screams out panic, realizing what his last sentence implies.
"I mean not that I don't love you.. I do.. I mean.. I just.. My brain orders to say 'daisuki' but I don't know why it came out that way.." He stutters throughout his attempt in explaining himself.
And Minako can't stop herself from bursting out laughing.
"Why, thank you," He sarcastically remarks as he takes a seat again at the bench, "Man, this is embarassing."
Minako follows him and sits right next to him, but she still can't stop laughing.
"It's my first time to actually say that word outside acting, you know.. So it helps if you take it seriously a bit," He pouts.
Minako gives him a tight hug, even though she is still chuckling from the amusement, "I'm sorry."
"That's it," He puts his arm around her, holding her tighter, "That'd be the last time I would ever say that as long as I live."
He corrects himself right after, "Except for acting out of a script."
"Jun-kun," Minako mumbles to his long neck, shutting him up.
"Hmm?"
"Mo aishiteru.."
Jun loosens his hug to look at her eyes. Nobody is laughing now. He pushes away some strands of hair off her face before his lips meet hers again.
There's no turning back now. They can't possibly let go of each other after this. There's no possible way.
"Konnichiwa, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome aboard Japan Airlines flight 109 bound for Tokyo.
We are sorry for the delay in our departure.
Please fasten your seat belt while the seat belt sign is on.
From captain Kimura and the crew, it is our pleasure to serve you today.
If there is anything we can do to make your flight more enjoyable, please let us know. Thank you.
In a few moments we'll be screening a safety video about this aircraft.
You'll also find a safety briefing card in the seat pocket in front of you.
We require that you give us your careful attention."
Jun and Minako sits by each other, Minako by the aisle and Jun by the window. They are the only two people in the first class cabin.
"Jun-kun," Minako hisses, "Fasten your seatbelt!"
"Eh?" Jun finally looks away from the window he has been staring at for the last 5 minutes. "Oh.."
Minako sighs. He has been absent minded ever since the phone call he got from his girlfriend. Something is clearly bothering him. Minako has been dying to ask but still arguing within herself whether she should or not.
She finally decides that she would try, "Looks like something is in your mind.."
"Hmm.."
"Mind to share?"
Jun gives her a sideway glance, "I don't know.."
"Well, it is up to you.."
Silence. He looks away to the window again. But he speaks up not long after.
"Rei-chan.. I mean my current girlfriend.."
"Yeah?"
"She just sounds weird. Something is telling me that something is wrong.."
"Oh.."
Minako regrets her decision to ask him. A sharp needle pins her heart now. But the look on Jun's face is harder to bear.
She takes his hand and give it a warm squeeze. Jun turns facing her immediately at the touch.
"Don't worry," She mutters softly. "You'll see her in a bit and everything will be straighten out.."
He squeezes her hand back just with the same amount of warmth she just gave him, "Thanks.."
"Ladies and gentlemen:
We will be taking off shortly. Please make sure that your seat belt is securely fastened. Thank you."
And as the plane soars to the sky, both Minako and Jun doesn't let go of their hands, tangling fingers with each other.
"Ah, damn," Jun groans all of a sudden in the midst take off, finally letting go of her hand.
"What?"
"I need to pee."
"We are at take off!"
But Jun already unfasten his seatbelt and walks out of his seat, forcing his way out between the seat in front of them and Minako's legs. Minako can only shakes her head as she watches him walks quickly to the toilet. That part of him always amazes her. Nothing seems to scare the guy.
On his sudden move out of his seat, Jun accidentally kicks his unzipped bag by the floor. His passport and boarding pass drops out of it. Minako picks it up.
As she does, she can't help to not take a peek at his passport photo. As expected, he still looks super kakkoi in the picture.
Minako chuckles as she opens his bag to put the passport back in.
But something catches her eyes. Her smile fade away.
A box. A deep red velvet small box.
Minako tries to fight the urge to reach for it but to no avail. She slowly takes it out and open the box. Just to find a white-gold ring with a small elegant diamond right inside.
There's a carving underneath as she studies the ring.
「愛してる」
Jun
"Aishiteru," She reads the word in a whisper.
Minako remembers that word. The word she heard only once before.
"That's it. That'd be the last time I would ever say that as long as I live."
"Liar.." She whispers softly to herself, accompanied with a sad smile.
And a tear. She can't stop that one. And the one after that.
There really is no turning back now. It is time to let him go.
