Disclaimer: I own NOTHING, but the PLOT
As soon as the doors opened, I stormed out immediately from the train. Two hours sitting inside almost ended up my life because of my endless worried with Aiba’s current situation now. I had no idea how long I was running from the station till I finally reached the hospital that Ohno mentioned in his message before.
“Kazunari!”
I saw Ohno called for my name when I finally entered the hospital’s lobby. He then immediately ran toward me with his extremely panic face.
“How’s Aiba?”
“Just comes out from the emergency room before. But when I leave and come to wait for you here, he still hasn’t wake up yet. Aunty, uncle and your band mates are staying with him now. Let’s see if he already wakes up.”
And I immediately followed Ohno to get as fast as we could to Aiba’s room. Along the way, none of us say anything or perhaps…we had nothing to say at all. I even completely forgot with my tiredness after running for such a long period without stopping before. As we finally reached his room, Ohno immediately turned the knob and pulled it open with I stood behind him.
“Masaki?”
“Satoshi! Kazunari! You guys are finally here!”
Both of us stay frozen on the door step. The doctor beside him meanwhile examined his blood pressure before turned to aunty and uncle.
“Does Aiba-kun do any vigorous activities recently?”
“He helped us at the restaurant before. Probably he was too tired, I guess.”
Aiba’s mom said it with a worried stare. Then, the doctor turned to Aiba.
“Do you sports?”
“I was a long distance runner before.”
The doctor nodded.
“I think it’s better if you stay away from it for a while. Your body is overworked.”
“But how about the restaurant?”
“Just have some rest here, Masa. Count on us.” Uncle said with an encouraging smile.
A few minutes later, the doctor finally said that it’s time for him to go. As I and Ohno moved aside to give the doctor a way, aunty cheerfully hugged his dearest son.
“You scared me. Don’t do this again.”
“Sorry, mom.”
“S-Sorry to interrupt you guys but,” the Aiba family immediately turned to Ohno. “Masaki is fine, right?”
“Yes, he is. Just like the doctor said; he was overworked. His body must be couldn’t stay with it anymore.”
I heard Ohno immediately let out a relief sigh and leant on the wall behind him. Meanwhile, I fell on my knees; trying to catch up back all my breath as my lungs already felt like it would shrink anytime soon.
“Are you guys okay?”
Aiba sat up and almost got out from his bed. Ohno however just let out a small chuckle.
“We feel so relief, you know. You have no idea how worried both of us were before.”
“Yep. That’s great you’re safe now.”
I curved with a smile while panting. Ohno meanwhile just grinned above me.
Suddenly, Aiba brought his chin down and just looked at his fingers. I could see he was gritting his teeth with his lips slightly trembling.
“Hey, are you okay?”
Both Ohno and I face immediately changed. As we approached him and stood confusedly beside him, he finally looked up with his already brimmed eyes.
“What’s wrong?” I could sense a worried tone in Ohno’s voice.
But we stunned when Aiba pulled us suddenly into his arms.
“T-Thank you for your concern about me. I feel so grateful for having you guys as my friends! You’ll always become my forever best companies in my life!”
Ohno coughed.
“O-Okay, we feel touched too, but p-lease let us go…now!”
“No!”
“I-I can’t breathe! You hug too tight, you k-now!”
Cough! Cough! Yeah! Me too!
But then I felt something wet on my shirt. As I turned to Ohno beside me, he just beamed me a smile with a chocked stare.
Aiba was crying.
So, I gently patted his head before Ohno moved his hand to Aiba’s back.
Fine. This time, I will let you do as you wish.
“Where are Nishikido-kun and his friends? They’re supposed to be here right?” Ohno finally managed to ask after Aiba slowly pulled away from us.
“Ah, they take their leave when I woke up with full energy before. Seems, they need to do a lot of preparations for tomorrow’s performance.”
Oh, crap. I forgot it.
“But no need to worry. They said your job just leave to them. You only need to come and play tomorrow.”
“I see.”
“I can’t wait for tomorrow to come! It must be an awesome performance, right Satoshi?”
However, Ohno just hesitantly looked at him.
“You can’t come along, don’t you?”
“Eh?”
“The doctor just said you need to rest here. So, I won’t let you.”
“But, mom-”
“Next time, you’re going to watch it Aiba. I promise.”
I didn’t know where I got a confidence to reassure him like that. Fortunately, Aiba just sighed before curved a bitter smile.
“I’m sorry, Kazunari. I know I am supposed to be there tomorrow…”
“I never invite you though.”
All of us just laughed when Aiba pouted by my words.
~*~*~*~
“Thanks for the meal.”
I said with a smile. Mom just chuckled by it before stroked my hair lovingly beside.
“You must still be tired right? Just go and sleep early.”
Mom looked at me with her concern eyes. She maybe still feel worried since I just got home yesterday. Even today, I had been sleeping for almost 9 hours in my room because of the long flight’s journey.
Alright. Now is the right time for me to ask dad and mom about that matter.
“I need to go somewhere with Sho now. Can I?”
“Eh? But it’s night already.”
“Don’t worry. Plus, I am as fit as a fiddle now.” I beamed mom with a smile again and brought my empty plate into the sink.
“Fine then. Just don’t come home too late.”
“Okay.”
“Don’t be like Kazu.”
I froze.
I thought, dad already stopped from discriminating Kazu after the misunderstood three months ago, but…seems I was wrong.
“Have a safe trip, my dear.”
However, I couldn’t reply mom’s words. I just gave an awkward nod without turning to them and walked out from there. As I climbed up the stairs to my room, I gritted hardly my teeth.
All this time, Kazu didn’t bother to cover me up or protecting me no matter what. But I…why I can’t say any word to stand for him when dad said that back then?
I AM SUCH A COWARD.
The sound of my phone's ringtone startled me immediately.
-“Jun? I’m already in front of your house.”
“Ah, okay. I’ll be there in a minute.”
Sho then ended the call.
Alright. It’s not a right time to space out!
I immediately got into my room and switched on the light. As my eyes caught something on my desk, I walked closer to it and brought it closer to my eyes. Yesterday, Sho suddenly gave me a white envelope and said it was from Kazu. I was so shocked when he told me that Kazu was supposed to be there and welcome my arrival with him, but because of a sudden phone call, he changed his mind and left.
Inside it however has nothing but two tickets with a ‘Rock Wave’ stated on it.
~*~*~*~
Phew. Fortunately, Sho used to attend performances and jamming like this. When we reached here before I was completely lost with the next step we should do since the place was already full with people. Sho was the one who managed to find for the most front place for us after pushing and pulling with other audiences there for almost half an hour. The front place gave us a clear look to see the band members’ faces whenever we looked up since the stage just right in front us. As the performance started, the crowd behind and beside us cheered anxiously. The first band that came out made me a bit freak out since they had white thick make up on their face with a punk style hair. Sho said that it was a normal thing to see a hard rock band to perform like that even though he also couldn’t stand with the extremely loud music and screams for the entire three songs they performed.
Time passed slowly with one by one band left the stage after performing three songs. But no matter how hard I tried to; I can’t find the reason behind Kazu’s gift. Was he tried to make me enjoy something after I haven’t been in Japan for a while? Was he mistaken to give me the tickets with something else? Or he just gave it without any intention at all?
All of a sudden, the light had been turned off.
“Jun? Where are you?”
I heard Sho’s panic voice among the confused and worried voices behind us.
“Here. Here. Calm down. Don’t panic.”
“I’m not panic! I just worried if you lost.”
Yeah. I believe you. Like I didn’t know you have slight achluophobia.
And the light suddenly been turned on. At the same time, I stunned by a familiar figure right in front me.
“Kazu?”
I widened my eyes; COMPLETELY can’t believe with what I’m seeing now.
“Good evening everyone! This is our first time to perform here so please treat us kindly!”
The crowd cheered loudly. I however, still couldn’t believe with what I’m witnessing now.
It’s…really Kazu right?
“Before we start, let me introduce you with our new band member. He’s our new guitarist; Kazunari-kun!”
I stunned.
“It’s true.”
“Huh?” Sho turned to me immediately.
“It’s Kazu.”
“You never told me he can play a guitar!”
“He can’t! I even still can’t believe it!”
Then, the girl who I thought was their vocalist suddenly gave the microphone to Kazu. Kazu looked so shocked and immediately shook his head in attempt to refuse. But when the crowd already started to clap and cheered him to give some words; he gave up.
“Err…”
I crept with a smile. He had no idea how much I miss to see and even hear his voice since I left.
“I-I’m still new with this, but…please enjoy our song.”
He smiled, followed by screamed from the female audience. The excitement made both Sho and I suddenly being pulled from behind as the other audiences wanted to get our place for a better view on Kazu’s band, but fortunately we managed to stay still on where we stood.
Maybe no one noticed that Kazu was actually smiling forcefully before. But anyhow, after this my twin seems will have a pile of fans.
Finally, their performance began. The whole crowd cheered, screamed, jumped and lifted their fist in the air; enjoying the rhythm of the music played. And before I realized it, Sho also followed them to jump with his hand in the air together with the others.
“This is cool!”
He shouted while smiling excitedly. As I turned to Kazu in front us again, I noticed that he was smiling widely with his fingers vigorously pressing the strings. I never saw him looked so into something like this for the entire of my life.
That’s great. I feel so happy for you, Kazu.
As I also curved with a smile, I turned to my right and saw a guy was recording the performance with his camcorder not afar. From the stage spotlight, I could see his face slightly.
He’s with Kazu at the train station before.
Suddenly, he also turned to look at me. We just returned our gaze to each other for a while before he crept with a smile and slightly bowed his head toward me. I on the other hand just followed his action before he turned to the front again with his hands still holding tightly the camcorder.
The jamming ended after two more bands finished their performance. After waiting for almost all audience there to come out, Sho and I finally walked out from there.
Alright. This is maybe my only chance.
“Sho.” I said as I abruptly stopped in front of the exit door. “I want to see Kazu. You can go home first.”
For a while, Sho didn’t say anything but returned my gaze. As he beamed me a smile, he immediately shook his head before moved to lean on the wall beside us.
~*~*~*~
As I washed my hands with the cold flowing water from the tap, I sighed and brought my face down to the sink. To be honest, I gave the tickets to Jun cause I wanted him to know what I’m passion with now. Plus, I wanted him to understand how my life is and reassured him that I’m doing fine.
BUT I never thought he would stand THAT close. I was so shocked till I almost forgot with what I supposed to do on the stage before.
After drying my hands, I turned the doorknob and slowly came out from the washroom. I just chuckled when I saw Ohno was still watching the record…for already the third time I guess?
“I believe the nurses must be scolding him for cheering at midnight if you showed this later.”
“Yep. Seems so.”
Both of us just chuckled. After he switched off the camcorder, we finally made our steps to the backstage to grab for my guitar. Along the way however we didn't see anyone at all. Seems, we’re the last one to leave the place. Plus, my band mates just told us before that they’re going to wait for us outside.
After I lifted the guitar case to make sure whether the guitar was still in its place or not, both Ohno and I immediately walked toward the back door. The two of us just kept talking about what Aiba’s reaction will be and if it’s good for us to show him the video immediately by tonight after we taking the last train soon. Just when I touched and turned the doorknob, a sudden hard push from outside made me hit the wall beside us with my back immediately.
“Kazunari!”
“What the-!”But someone forcefully made me turned to face the wall before harshly knocked my face on it.
“Take off his guitar!”
I tried to take a glance while trying to endure the painfulness of the strong grips on my wrist. My eyes went widen as soon as I realized who the group of men all around us were.
Police?
“What are you trying to do, Sir? He didn’t do anything wrong at all!”
Ohno’s question however was left unanswered. I saw he tried to come and help me out, but stopped when I shook my head. I could hear the sound of the guitar case had been opened behind me. But one of the cops there was still gripping tightly my wrists with the other one forcefully pushed my cheek to stick on the wall, so I almost can’t see anything at all.
All of a sudden, the cop harshly grabbed my hair and made me to turn around. I immediately saw packs of tablets in the guitar case that I brought; perhaps was hidden in there before out of my awareness.
“What’s that?”
“YOU STILL WANT TO DENY IT ANYMORE?!”
“But I-!” the cop however just harshly dragged me out from there. Ohno tried to save me and stopped them but couldn’t when the other cops suddenly hold him tightly to prevent from come closer to me. I could feel my hands suddenly turned cold when I realized that they’re bringing me to the police car.
“Sir! I haven’t done anything wrong!”
“DON’T TRY TO DECEIVE US! IF YOU’RE HAVEN’T, THEN WHY THOSE DRUGS ARE INSIDE YOUR GUITAR CASE?!”
Drugs?
What? Those tablets were drugs? What the hell is happening now?!
“I have nothing to do with it at all!”
“Oh, really? Just spill out when we reach the police station later!”
“But I really didn’t know how it gets in there!” I shouted loudly, hoping they’re going to listen to me. Ohno also tried his best to explain that I was innocent, but it’s already useless when the police said that it was already proven that I’m not.
From afar, I saw Nishikido and the others swiftly came to approach here before being stopped by the police.
“You guys shouldn’t be here. Go home now.”
“But he’s our friend! Where do you want to bring him?!”
“We found drugs inside his guitar case. Now, leave.”
All of their faces changed dramatically. The situation now suddenly became uncontrollable between them and the police.
“If you guys still act stubborn like this, I will arrest all of you for disturbing our work!”
“You think we care about it?! Then just bring us along!”
“Ohno! Are you out of your mind?! D-!” But I didn’t manage to continue when my hands suddenly got cuffed. The cop then hardly pushed me inside the police car before closed the door right in front of my face.
No. No way.
I’m not guilty!
I could see Ohno and my band mate panic faces as they tried to make the cop let go of them. Ohno seemed like shouting something for me, but I couldn’t hear it because of the soundproof window. As the car slowly took it leaves, I clumsily tried to get rid of the handcuffed. But no matter how much and hard I tried, it’s totally useless even though I can feel my wrist were already red and bruising.
My heartbeat feelt like suddenly stopped. Even my lungs seemed like not functioning anymore. Having drugs is not a small crime. It will drag me into the capital punishment which is…
Death penalty.
Oh, God. Am I going to die?!
Suddenly, I saw two figures appeared from the front side of the building. As the figures slowly came to approach a brighter area there, I became stunned immediately.
Jun?
At the same time, I saw Jun also turned to look at me. I can see his eyes went wide before he suddenly speed up and ran toward me. The cops clumsily ran and tried to stop him, but no matter how hard they tried, Jun just pushed them aside with all his might. I meanwhile just watched him from the other side of the window, completely had no idea with what I should do.
Why he is still here? I thought he already go home!
Just when I realized it, Jun already managed to reach the car’s speed. I can see his face already damp with sweat but he still hadn't given up and started to hit the window with his palm
Kazu!
His mouth kept calling my name timelessly. But no matter how hard he hit or ran with all his might; the car just gradually speed up; not stopping at all. Finally, Jun couldn’t make it anymore and bit by bit was left behind. I immediately turned to the back window and can’t help from keeping my eyes on him.
After three times we almost see each other face to face, why we finally meet with this kind of situation?
I gritted my teeth hardly.
...No matter what…our gap is not becomes closer, but keep getting wider and now…too far to reach.

Both of us stay frozen on the door step. The doctor beside him meanwhile examined his blood pressure before turned to aunty and uncle.
“Does Aiba-kun do any vigorous activities recently?”

So, I gently patted his head before Ohno moved his hand to Aiba’s back.

“I’m not panic! I just worried if you lost.”
Yeah. I believe you. Like I didn’t know you have slight achluophobia.
And the light suddenly been turned on. At the same time, I stunned by a familiar figure right in front me.
“Kazu?”
I widened my eyes; COMPLETELY can’t believe with what I’m seeing now.
“Good evening everyone! This is our first time to perform here so please treat us kindly!”

The two of us just kept talking about what Aiba’s reaction will be and if it’s good for us to show him the video immediately by tonight after we taking the last train soon. Just when I touched and turned the doorknob, a sudden hard push from outside made me hit the wall beside us with my back immediately.
“Kazunari!”
“What the-!”But someone forcefully made me turned to face the wall before harshly knocked my face on it.
“Take off his guitar!”
I tried to take a glance while trying to endure the painfulness of the strong grips on my wrist. My eyes went widen as soon as I realized who the group of men all around us were.
Police?
“What are you trying to do, Sir? He didn’t do anything wrong at all!”
Ohno’s question however was left unanswered. I saw he tried to come and help me out, but stopped when I shook my head. I could hear the sound of the guitar case had been opened behind me. But one of the cops there was still gripping tightly my wrists with the other one forcefully pushed my cheek to stick on the wall, so I almost can’t see anything at all.
All of a sudden, the cop harshly grabbed my hair and made me to turn around. I immediately saw packs of tablets in the guitar case that I brought; perhaps was hidden in there before out of my awareness.
“What’s that?”
“YOU STILL WANT TO DENY IT ANYMORE?!”
“But I-!” the cop however just harshly dragged me out from there. Ohno tried to save me and stopped them but couldn’t when the other cops suddenly hold him tightly to prevent from come closer to me. I could feel my hands suddenly turned cold when I realized that they’re bringing me to the police car.
“Sir! I haven’t done anything wrong!”
“DON’T TRY TO DECEIVE US! IF YOU’RE HAVEN’T, THEN WHY THOSE DRUGS ARE INSIDE YOUR GUITAR CASE?!”
Drugs?
What? Those tablets were drugs? What the hell is happening now?!
“I have nothing to do with it at all!”
“Oh, really? Just spill out when we reach the police station later!”
“But I really didn’t know how it gets in there!” I shouted loudly, hoping they’re going to listen to me. Ohno also tried his best to explain that I was innocent, but it’s already useless when the police said that it was already proven that I’m not.
From afar, I saw Nishikido and the others swiftly came to approach here before being stopped by the police.
“You guys shouldn’t be here. Go home now.”
“But he’s our friend! Where do you want to bring him?!”
“We found drugs inside his guitar case. Now, leave.”
All of their faces changed dramatically. The situation now suddenly became uncontrollable between them and the police.
“If you guys still act stubborn like this, I will arrest all of you for disturbing our work!”
“You think we care about it?! Then just bring us along!”
“Ohno! Are you out of your mind?! D-!” But I didn’t manage to continue when my hands suddenly got cuffed. The cop then hardly pushed me inside the police car before closed the door right in front of my face.
No. No way.
I’m not guilty!
I could see Ohno and my band mate panic faces as they tried to make the cop let go of them. Ohno seemed like shouting something for me, but I couldn’t hear it because of the soundproof window. As the car slowly took it leaves, I clumsily tried to get rid of the handcuffed. But no matter how much and hard I tried, it’s totally useless even though I can feel my wrist were already red and bruising.
My heartbeat feelt like suddenly stopped. Even my lungs seemed like not functioning anymore. Having drugs is not a small crime. It will drag me into the capital punishment which is…
Death penalty.
Oh, God. Am I going to die?!
Suddenly, I saw two figures appeared from the front side of the building. As the figures slowly came to approach a brighter area there, I became stunned immediately.
Jun?
At the same time, I saw Jun also turned to look at me. I can see his eyes went wide before he suddenly speed up and ran toward me. The cops clumsily ran and tried to stop him, but no matter how hard they tried, Jun just pushed them aside with all his might. I meanwhile just watched him from the other side of the window, completely had no idea with what I should do.
Why he is still here? I thought he already go home!
Just when I realized it, Jun already managed to reach the car’s speed. I can see his face already damp with sweat but he still hadn't given up and started to hit the window with his palm
Kazu!
His mouth kept calling my name timelessly. But no matter how hard he hit or ran with all his might; the car just gradually speed up; not stopping at all. Finally, Jun couldn’t make it anymore and bit by bit was left behind. I immediately turned to the back window and can’t help from keeping my eyes on him.
After three times we almost see each other face to face, why we finally meet with this kind of situation?
I gritted my teeth hardly.
...No matter what…our gap is not becomes closer, but keep getting wider and now…too far to reach.
