Chapter One
It was a long way home. The road was left with nobody, except him. Unlike other friends of his, he lived in Osaka, far away from his beloved, Yamapi
With his guitar slinged at the back, he dragged his feet, leaving a lonely trail of his own journey back. The vold wind was blowing continously into the direction of his face. His hair, sway together, along with the rhythm of the soft touch of wind. "Yamapi.. I miss you," With that, tears dripped slowly down from the boy's eyes. How he wishes he could turned things way back, to a few months ago. Perhaps the situation would be as terrible as it is now? The boy, Nishikido Ryo.
He clutches both of his hands, together, and with tears still flowing from his eyes, he knelt down on the street, his heart were breaking down into pieces, and pieces.
"Yamashita-san! Good work for today!" the director finally cut and the work for the day end off with Yamapi getting dressed up in his dressing room.
Yamapi looked into himself in the mirror. Was this him? Why does he feel so strange about his own body? He knew the reasons, very clearly. Yet, Yamapu shooked the thoughts off. With that, Yamapi grabbed his coat, and walked out of the studio.
"Ah.. It's raining.." Yamapi's voice trailed off under the heaby sound of the raindrops. When he was getting ready to run under the rain, a voice at the back called for him.
"Yamapi!" that voice was clearly his. There was nobody, other than him, who have such a high pitch voice.
"Tegoshi,"
"Yamapi~ You didn't bring your umbrella?" Tegoshi asked, with his hands hiding behind.
Yamapi nodded his head. Tegoshi's eyes brimmed with delight. With that, he passed his umbrella to Yamapi. "What about you?" Yamapi asked, wondering that there is no reason for Tegoshi to get drenched himself.
"Massu, I'm going to eat lunch with him, so I could share with him his umbrella~" Tegoshi grinned. Yamapi understood Tegoshi's 'kind' intention.
"But, I didn't want Yamapi to be sick too!" Tegoshi hurriedly added in, when he saw the change of expression on Yamapi's face.
Yamapi nodded his head, and with that, he opened the umbrella, and walked away. In the background, he could vividly hear Tegoshi's sweet voice of shouting.
"Massu! I lend my umbrella to Yamapi, let us share your umbrella!"
Yamapi tucked his hand into the pockets of his coat. With his another hand holding onto the umbrella, he headed home. Have he ever been so lonely before? No. There was always another person right beside him. Even id he didn't have work that day, that boy will never fail to appear. Yamapi clucthes the handle of the umbrella tighter. It has being months since he felt this kind of loneliness. If only he could be like Tegoshi and Masuda, both of the innocent "couple", how nice could it be? But reality soon fades in, it is impoosible, ne, Ryo-chan?
The next day, Yamapi and Ryo appeared at the studio much earlier than the meeting time. It was expected, from the two 'leaders' of the group. The two akwardly sat across each other. Ryo could not even look into the eyes of Yamapi's. Just then, another person appeared.
"Yo! Wow, you guys are early!"
Yamapi looked up. It's the older guy. He was wearing jeans, and his white top. On one hand, he was holding onto his bad.
"Ah, Koyama, good morning," Yamapi greeted. Ryo looked up, and also greeted Koyama as well.
"Morning to you both!" Koyama greeted back, as he placed his bag onto the chair not far away from him.
Just when he was about to sit down, Yamapi, who wanted to get out of the situation with Ryo, find an excuse to leave the room, of course, with Koyama. "We're heading for breakfast!" With that, Koyama was dragging out of the room, with his shouting of ,"Yamapi, I've eaten already!!!"
Ryo looked at the two of them, and he looked at the back of Koyama's. "It was supposed to be me with you, Pi.." Ryo whispered, tears falling down.
"Something wrong between you and Ryo?" Koyama questioned Yamapi , who was sitting across him. Yamapi just solemnly sat at the other side, quietly sippping his orange juice. He iettered nothing, and continued acting like nothing is happening.
It was his forte, acting like nothing is going on. Yes, nothing is going on,at at all..
"Koyama, Yamapi!" Masuda's voice was heard from a distance. Te two turned, and Masuda came running towards them. "The photo-taking session is starting!" With that, three of them returned to the studio, with Yamapi unwillingness. It was time for him to face Ryo, once again.
After everything was done, the group decided to go out and have dinner. Yamapi declined. As he waked away, the other five members were wondering, why did Yamapi declined? After all, it always has being Yamapi's dream to have more outing with the NewS members.
Without considering, Tegoshi ran towards Yamapi.
"Yamapi, let's eat together!"
"It's ok, Tegoshi, Enjoy yourselves."
"Yamapi is not Yamapi anymore, Somehow, you seems cold, after that day.."
Yamapi looked at Tegoshi. That day? What day was Tegoshi referring to?
"I.. I heard what you yold Ryo-tan that day.."
Both of them continued, with the other four members fixing their eyes on the both. Yamapi's eyes widened. "Yamapi, don't run away. It's uselss continueing things like this. Join us! At most, you can sit with me instead, I'll tell Massu!"
Yamapi giggled. How much more innocent could this younger boy go? With that, Yamapi agreed to go. Locking their arms, Tegoshi and Yamapi, along with the other four members headed to their usual restaurant. Of couse, with Ryo wondering to himself,
Pi.. what did Tego-nyan said to you that made you smile this much?
