CHAPTER 18
‘Kazuya I’ll see you next week. And I hope you’ll be honest enough to tell me the real status between you and Jin’
Tatsuya heave a sigh as he remembered what he told himself a week ago as he now stands in front of his brother and his friend who are both blushing furiously at his gaze.
“What were you doing?” he asked staring intently at the pair.
“Ummm...We’re composing new songs” answered Kazuya who stares at his foot attentively, as if it’s the most interesting sight as of the moment.
Upon hearing this the oldest of the three raise his eyebrow “really? I didn’t know that’s the new way of composing a song” and this made Jin and Kazuya blush even more.
FLASH BACK
* Knock… Knock…*
‘Weird, why is Kazu chan not answering the door’ Tatsuya wonder as he stood in front of his brother’s home.
“Oh maybe he’s still sleeping” he said out loud then he remembers “but it’s already 1:00 PM. He can’t be sleeping is he?”
Wanting to end his monologue, Tatsuya said “Oh maybe he went out with Jin, yeah maybe that’s it. Yosh! I’m just gonna stay here and surprise them when they arrive. I’ll also cook for them as a thank you for Jin.”
So he slips his own key and invited him self in. Taking off his shoe, Tatsuya was about to proceed to Kazuya’s kitchen when he found him self glued on the same spot and letting out a small gasp.
Right in front of him, Kazuya and Jin are having a make out session in his brother’s sofa. He could see Jin’s hands roaming around Kazuya’s body while the young man had his hands clasp on Jin’s hair while letting out small moans, completely oblivious of the presence of TOUCH older member.
When shock was no longer on his system, Tatsuya cleared his throat and irritably yell “WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING?”
END FLASH BACK
“But really Tat chan, we are composing new songs. Jin wrote one of them and the other one we wrote it together” Kazuya once again explains to his brother.
“That’s true Tat chan, if you like you could take a look at it” added Jin as he raise his head and look at his friend.
Tatsuya sigh, so those two decided to do a tag-team in order to defend themselves. “Ok, ok, I believe you. But how come I saw what I saw?”
His brother remains speechless but pokes Jin’s side as if saying ‘go and explain that part’. So the later just groan and open his mouth to make things clear.
“Actually that’s my fault. I kinda start it” he answered
“But I’m thankful that at least you still have the decency of not stripping right here on the living room” commented by the older brother.
“Actually, we’re about to do that” mumbles Jin.
“What’s that? Did you say something Jin?” Tatsuya ask as if trying to confirm if what he heard was right.
“Oh, nothing Tat chan. Jin said that of course we won’t do that. Hehehe!” Kazuya lamely reply.
“I see… Good to hear that” Then he remembered something “ah yeah, rest for a while and I’ll prepare us a snack.
He’s on his way towards the kitchen when Jin stepped in front of him “Ano, Tat chan, do you want me to start packing up my things? I’ll leave maybe later this evening”
Tatsuya gave his friend a weird look before answering “No, better spend the night here. Leave tomorrow evening. I don’t want my brother to kill me because I kick you out of his house.”
Hearing this Jin gave him a too bright smile and strode in the direction of the living room to tackle his lover and tell him what Tat chan just said.
‘Oh God, I hope they won’t start another round of their make out session’ Tatsuya prayed.

“Do you think this is alright?” a certain bald man whisper as he tiptoes towards a certain room.
“Yeah, I guess so” a small voice replied who tries to insert a key to open the door.
“We look like a burglar” Add by a tall guy
With this, the two crouching and whispering males stood up and look at the speaker.
“Hey, don’t look at me that way. You’re the weird ones here. Can’t you just insert the key and open the door like a normal person? ” He smiled at them “And why do you need to whisper? No one’s gonna hear you”
“Sometimes Junno, your intellect amazes me” said Yuichi as he open the door and stepped inside the room.
“So are you ready guys?” Koki
And this was answered by a loud YES and they start with their task.
-----
*Poke… poke*
Jin felt a fingers digging on this stomach, so he turn on his side and bury his face deeper on the pillow.
*Poke… Poke... Poke*
Another jab, now on his cheeks, but this time it’s more insistent that the last one. He starts to stir and open he’s eyes only to find a so close up Kazuya staring at him with a huge smile on his face.
“Morning sleepy head” he greeted the now awake Jin
“Mou, Kazu… Why did you wake me up? It’s still early” whine Jin as he lean and kiss his lover.
“I know, but this is your last day here and I want to have a quality time with you before you leave later” pout Kazuya as he pulls the older one in sitting position.
“Ah yeah, I almost forgot” frown Jin as he sits on the side of their bed and pulled his lover on his lap.
Kazuya immediately encircle his arms around Jin’s neck and starts planting feathery kisses on his face. “I don’t want you to go” he said after a few moments.
Jin felt a surge of loneliness as he hear these words comes out from Kazuya and ponder if he could talk to Tatsuya about this. But on the other hand, his worry about TOUCH, Kazuya and Tatsuya’s individual career if the news about their relationship leaks on the press makes him think twice.
“Ne Kazu, let’s just make the most out of our last day together ok?” Jin said as he embraces his precious partner. “Besides we can still see each other right? Either we spend it on my home or I could spend it here.”
“But… But… I’ll miss waking up every morning with you sleeping beside me” the young one childishly replies and this earn a soft laugh from Jin and he starts to shower butterfly kisses on Kazuya.
“Ok let’s have our breakfast then lets think how we can spend the whole day” suggest Jin as he stand up without letting go of Kazuya. So he carries his lover in bridal style as they proceed to their kitchen.
-----
“KNOCK… KNOCK” Cried Tatsuya as he steps inside his brother’s home.
“Tat chan we’re here at the kitchen” answered Kazuya
So Tatsuya made his way towards the kitchen but several feet from it he once again said “I’m almost there I hope I won’t find something inappropriate when I step inside” He haven’t fully recover yet from what he saw yesterday.
He heard a laugh and then Jin’s voice answered his questions “Don’t worry Tat chan. We’re not making out here”
The older brother let out small thanks and enters the kitchen and when he did, he mentally hits his head. Yeah right, they’re not making out but they’re being lovey dovey once again with Jin clinging to Kazuya’s waist with his head on the smaller guy’s shoulder watching as the other one cooks.
“Hey love birds, I’m here now… And Jin stop molesting my brother” Tatsuya said as he steps beside them and look at the dish Kazuya is preparing.
“Hey I’m not molesting him, I’m just trying to make the most out of our last day together” smiled Jin as he nuzzle his partner and this makes the latter turn to his side and kiss Jin’s cheeks.
“Ok, I get it. But please don’t start that in front of me or I won’t have a second thought of kicking you out earlier that expected” threaten by the older man but at the same time there’s a smile lingering on his lips.
So Kazuya extract himself from Jin and hug his brother “Thank you Tat chan. You know that I love you right”
“Of course I know that. And I love to you too. I’m glad that you’re happy.” Tatsuya said as he affectionately embraces his brother.
“Oh I just remember why don’t you guys go out and have a date” suggest Tatsuya when he let go of his little brother.
“Eh? Date?” a confuse Kazuya asked as he looks at Jin.
“Yes why not, as Jin said earlier this is his last day spending it with you after 2 months of taking care of you” convinced Tatsuya.
“Hhhhmmm… Tat chan has a point. Ok, let’s go out Kazu” decides Jin
Though hesitant at first, after a while Kazuya agreed “Ok, but first let’s eat this dish I prepared. I don’t want it to go to waste” Then turning to his brother he said “Tat chan eat here ok. I won’t accept no as an answer”
So the three of them had their early lunch together while chatting what had happen for the past 2 months and after that Tatsuya take charge of the dishes as he asked the couple to start preparing for their date.
“Ok Tat chan we’re going now. Do you want to stay here?” Kazuya asked as they slip their shoes and open the door.
“Yes I will. I’ll invade your movie collections” answered by his brother and he made himself comfortable on the sofa and starts scanning the channel.
“Ok. We won’t be staying out too long”
“It’s alright, take your time and enjoy”
“We will. Thanks! Have fun watching the movies!”
When Tatsuya heard the door shut behind the couple he went to Kazuya’s phone and start dialing a particular number.
“Hello? How was it?” he asked
“Tatsuya? Everything’s ready”
“Okay. Let’s proceed with the plan”
“Okay. We’re on our way”
“Good I’ll wait for you here in Kazuya’s home. But hurry ok, we only have limited time.”
“Sure. See you later” then a dial tone follows
As he put the receiver down he said to him self ‘Mom, Dad. I’m doing this for the sake of happiness. Hope you won’t mind. And I hope I’m making the right one.’
Then out loud he said “OK! Time for the final Phase”
