Chapter One:
(Yabu’s POV)
It was winter when it happened.
I lay down on my bed, exhausted. I had closed my eyes in an effort to fall asleep when my phone beeped. Groaning, I grabbed it from the side where I put it and read the mail I had received. It was from Inoo.
Kota, meet us in Starbucks at Shibuya. - KeiWhat are we going to do in Starbucks? It was much too early for some cappuccino, Kei knew that. But I haven’t seen my friend in so long, so my fingers flew over the keypad as I typed out a response:
Okay, I’ll be there.Standing up, I dropped my phone on the bed as I made my way to the bathroom. I showered quickly, all of a sudden excited to meet up with my friend.
---///---
I stepped inside the establishment.
As I entered the said establishment, I saw Inoo waving his hands, signalling that I should go there. I gladly obliged. I hated going and wandering around a coffee shop alone, anyway.
“Yo!” I greeted them. Chotto! Are!? I darted my gaze at the last boy standing next to Yuri. “Ryuu…” I mouthed; still surprised with what my eyes saw.
The young boy smiled crookedly.
“Yabuchan~!” he said, still smiling mischievously.
I sat next to him and enveloped him in a tight hug, which I never did to just anyone. I just seriously miss this kid.
“So how is life?” I asked. It has been long since I last saw Ryutaro. He has been shipped to America the past few years because of his studies, and I just want to know any news from him.
“Well, I’m dating someone now,” he replied; still smiling non-stop.
There was a silence as we digested what Ryutaro has said. “OHHH?” the nine of us gasped.
Even though we date girls all the time, it was a rarity that we date someone seriously enough to call a “girlfriend”. It was like a rule among the ten of us. That was why we are so freakingly surprised at Ryutaro’s announcement. And there was the matter of Ryutaro being the youngest among us and yet he has this girl he was seeing seriously enough to call his “girlfriend”!
“Damn! You break the record, Ryuu!” Yuri shouted as he hit the young boy’s shoulder.
“OUCH!” Ryutaro whined.
Yamada, Yuto and Keito giggled, while HIkaru, Inoo, Yuya and Daiki could have been rolling on the ground, because they were laughing non-stop.
As for me, I just smiled at his news. Well, at least one of us could have a steady girlfriend.
“WHO IS SHE? DO WE KNOW HER? WHERE DID YOU MEET? WHEN?” Yuri asks, demanding to know truth about Ryuu dating someone.
“Kanon. Her name is Fukuda Kanon. And no, I haven’t introduced her to any of you guys yet. Well, I started dating her for almost a month now, and I got to know her at my new school.” Ryutaro explained.
“Ooh!” we gasped again in unison.
Yuri pouted when he hear Ryutaro’s reply.
“Maa~ Chii, don’t be too upset. I’m still here, you know,” Yamada teased, chuckled.
“And you also have Yutti,” Yuri pouted even more as he sulked on the corner of his seat.
Yuto choked on his strawberry shortcake while Yamada cracked a grin.
Gosh, these boys haven’t changed a bit.
“Ne, Kei, so what is the meaning of this gathering, anyway?” I opened the real topic.
Kei grinned maliciously. And when he was grinning like that, it always, always, held a meaning.
“Stop that!” I said, irritated.
“Well, since it’s your birthday, we have a surprise for you. Come, let’s get out of here. I’m sure your birthday gift is already there.” Instead of Inoo, Yuya answered my question. Soon enough, after finishing talking, the boys quickly stood up and walked directly out of the establishment.
I sighed and followed the others outside. I’m also wondering about that gift they are talking about.

“Okay, guys, what the hell are we doing here?” I demanded as we stood in front of a seemingly-thirty-floor-high hotel.
“Here,” Inoo gave me a slip of paper.
Room 2083? What the heck is this?
And, as if reading my mind, Inoo spoke.
“Our birthday gift is in that room. Go and check it out for yourself,” Inoo said. When I looked at him in bewilderment, there is the malicious smile again.
“Seriously, Inoo, what the heck.” I said as he crumpled the piece of paper in my hands. Hikaru rolled his eyes and pushed me to the entrance of the hotel.
“Just get in, Koppi!”

Meanwhile, thirty floors up, in room 2083, a tall, slender young woman was sitting on the bed, looking down at her feet. She was nervous and a little bit afraid, and she was forcing herself not to stand up and bolt out of the room any moment now.
She glanced at the clock. It was already time. He will be here any second now.
Sure enough, the door clicked open.
In a frenzy, she stood up and rushed to the bathroom, checking if everything was still perfect. Checking if she still looked good.
Would he like me? she thought as she ran a hand through her long black hair.
“Are you the gift my friends were saying?”
She almost jumped out of her skin when she heard that voice. She slowly turned around and swallowed slightly.
Gosh, he’s so tall. And he’s so handsome, too. My boyfriend is no match for this guy.
She nodded her head slowly.
“Okay… so, step out of the bathroom? Let’s get this over with.”
She followed him and stood in front of him as he sat on the bed. His eyes on her were dark, and they spoke silent commands. She swallowed slightly again as she stood there, her hands working on the buttons of her blouse, hurrying to strip al of her clothes, hurrying to do everything because she didn’t want to disappoint. Her fingers were clumsy because she was nervous. She never have done something like this before, and this man, this man with the brown hair, and the long and lanky body, and those bright eyes and curvy lips… this man was going to be her first.
She closed her eyes, hoping and wiling her nervousness to go away as she unzipped her skirt and let it fall to the ground.
She felt his arms envelope her in a tight, suffocating embrace, as he pressed his lips on hers.
She felt her nervousness melt away in a matter of seconds as the heat escalated and they dissolve into throes of pleasure.

[Yabu’s POV]
The morning sunlight tickled my eyelids open.
The moment I did open my eyes, I regretted the decision to do so. The moment I did open my eyes, everything that I have been supressing from thinking has exploded and was currently torturing my poor mind.
This was bad. We have had sex, this girl and I. And what’s worse? I was her first. And what’s worse than worse? We didn’t use protection.
What if this girl gets pregnant? What if? What if?
Inoo and the others are really going to pay for this early-morning torture they’ve subjected me to. And today’s supposed to be my first day as a twenty-three-year-old.
I glanced at the girl’s sleeping form beside me. She looks like an angel when she’s asleep. She looks so peaceful.
I reached over to touch her cheek gently with my fingers, but halfway through, I decided against it. I stood up, and went.

[Flashback]
Elena Mizusawa sat in a coffee shop, going through all the hospital bills she has just gotten from the medical center. Her mother has cancer,
and she has been hospitalized. There was a high chance of her recovering, so Elena was doing all she could to finance the treatments. She was orphaned by her father early, so there was no one she could turn to anymore but her mom.
Unfortunately, all the expenses have been weighing heavily on her. They were in no way rich, and she hasn’t gone to college or something that she could go and apply to those high-paying jobs. At this rate, she was so desperate, she could just do practically anything to get the necessary money to pay the hospital.
She was halfway through her espresso (she needed to stay awake) when a baritone voice interrupted her thoughts. “Ah… miss, do you need help, because I can see that you have a very big problem.”
Startled, she looked up to see a man with an angelic face. He has a cute, pointed nose, kissable lips, thick eyelashes and he is a perfect guy and he could be mistaken as a girl.
She shook her head. “Ah. Iya, betsuni.”
“Oh well then, if you need anything, don’t hesitate to call me.” The guy said as he put a calling card on top of the table and left.
She watched the man elegantly walk out of the coffee shop before pulling the card to her person and reading what was written on it.
“Inoo Kei, owner of Inoo Music and Art Gallery…”
She sighed and tried to think.
