Genre: angst
Summary: Jin never liked people calling him fat
Sorry this post took me a little longer than I wanted, but hey here it is.
It was a nasty feeling they way his shirt clung to his body.To make it worse the sweat on his body absorbed the heat through his clothes even more. It was the end of the concert, a long and tiring concert.
Stepping off the stage, Jin started for the break room where he knew Ryo and Pi would be waiting. They had promised to go see their proformance since they couldn't see Jin anytime help before the concert. He also needed to see them so he could talk to them about Kame. He was hoping the latter had talked to him and he could get out some information out of them.
All through the concert Kame had been so distant from Jin, avoiding him at all measures. When Jin would even try to get clost to him he would immediatly run to Koki's side to Nakamaru's. He would be lieing if he said that it didn't hurt, and he was suffering alot especially since he truely didn't know what he did wrong.
"Good job." Jin nodded to all those who congradulated him. So many smiling faces of approval. Somehow it made Jin quiestion their compliments and generosity. It his own friends could pull such faces and yet speak about him behind his back so, what could all these people secretly be thinking.
There was a loud burst of laughter. As suddenly as the thought left his mind, a door flew open to reveal a pinked face Ryo and a smirking Pi.
"Oh, hey jin." Pi said trying to smooth out the smirk on his face.
"Hey yourself." Jin spread out his arms eagle style.
"So, what did you think?"
"I think you should put your arms down before you tear that poor shirt." Ryo snapped out pulling Jin's arms back down to his body.
"Ryo!" Pi snapped back obvioulsy disapproving of whatever Ryo had done, which Jin really didn't have an idea. Pi turned his attention backt o his bestfriend.
"You did great Jin, almost like you never left at all." It was a dead compliment that ment absolutely nothing to the one speaking it.
"Yeah right." Ryo mummbled only earning himself another glare.
Jin shifted uncomfortably on his feet. The silece that hung in the air made him want to run.
"Sooo..."
"Don't you need to go change?" Ryo's snap broke through his sentence.
"Yeah, you should really go change." Pi quickly agreed with Ryo, nodding his head.
Jin shrugged, "Yeah, I guess. It's really hot in this thing."
"I can only imagine" Pi said quietly with a small almost non-existant smile.
Navigating around them Jin head off toward the dressing room.
"Eww, did you see him?" Jin heard Ryo whisper as soon as he turned the corner.
"I know."
"I can't believe they let him back into the jimusho looking like that!"
"I know" he heard Pi repeat
" I mean, WE are suppose to be sexy! Thin, and sexy. Not........you know."
"Yeah, I know."
It was silent after that, and if not for the hard breathing Jin would have guessed that they left.
"What are you guys doing?"
Jin put his full attention back to the people once he heard Kame's voice.
"We're just talking about how ugly your damn boyfriend looks now."
"Ryo stop!" Pi snapped
"No Pi, I won't! Listen Kame that boyfriend of your is fat and disgusting now!"
"i know"
The heart in Jin's chest shattered into a million pieces when he heard Kame mummbled agreement..
"What are you going to do about it?"
Jin waiting tears brimming in his eyes.
"Please Kame." Jin hoped in his mind.
"I don't know.............. i can't...........i don't....i mean it's not really that big of a problem."
"That's not what i asked!"
Well I don't know!" Jin heard Kame let out a sob indicated that he was crying.
"I don't want a fat Jin as a boyfriend!"
Jin felt himself lose his breath, he couldn't breath. The tears fell and didn't stop, this was how he was going to die a broken heart. With tears and quiet sobs Jin tore off in the direction of the nearest exit. He had to get out of there before he did something. He didn't understand why! He had disregarded all the comments that people had said in the past. To him it didn't matter what anyone thought, all that mattered was Kame. Now it hurt. If one could truely die from a broken heart, Jin would have died on the spot.
Jin stopped to catch his breath. He would change......he would give up whatever just to make kame happy.
***
Kame gently caressed Jin's skinny hand trying to avoid the IVs running through it. It was their fault, and they all knew it. He knew it the moment came home that day a broken man. He knew it the moment his saw Jin refuse to eat perfering sleep. They all knew it the moment Jin's frail body hit the floor. They all saw and knew what was happening, yet they were all to wrapped up in their own desires and thoughts to care. And when the time came that they did, it was to late.
Kame layed his head on the bed letting the tears run freely. He would stay there as long as Jin did.
Jin would be there tomorrow and the next day..........forever.
He WOULD live, yet not.
