Summary: Jun left Sho. He can't blame him though. It was all his fault. But he wants to see him again to get him back.

Darkness is all around. But the Moon and the stars shone above him. He felt shivers all around his body as the brusque, cold wind hits his skin. The thick clothing has not done its job. He was still shivering. But he prefers to be outside, it’s better here than the coldness and emptiness he feels at home. He isn’t depressed anymore, but he still remembers. The rustling of leaves was like music to his ears. Yes it was better outside. There was nothing to remind him about the past. This long walks at night sure made him better. Step by step, his feet had dragged home. And then he saw a figure ahead. Could it be? Could it be the person he wanted to see? Could it be the person that longed for? Could it be the person he was waiting to come home?

“Jun”

“Taidama”

“And... CUT! that’s a wrap everybody! Otsukaresama desu!” The director said in delight. They finally finished the last scene for today.

“Otsukaresama Sakurai-kun!” Keiko smiled at him.

“Otsukaresama desu Ojosama! I must say, you did well today.” he returned a smile at his leading lady.

“Oh Kageyama, you and your sharp tongue never changed!”

And they both laugh. He can laugh and joke around now. He doesn’t make his job an escape from loneliness. He goes out now with his friends when he has the time. Or he drives to the beach and relax. He even continued his hobby, making videos and eating! It’s been 8 months. He can stand now, but when he lies in his big empty bed, he still feels the coldness. He can move on now, but still he cannot forget. He can never forget. He still loves him, the person that he wants to see the most.

“It’s good that you looked better now.” Keiko said to Sho.

“Better? Was I that hideous the last time we met?” Sho replied jokingly.

“No! I meant that you look better now. These past months, you looked like you didn’t even sleep nor eat. Your face is surprisingly looks thinner and the bags under your eyes look puffy and darker. I thought that you’re over working yourself to death.”

“Oh.”

“Yea, I knew you’re a workaholic. Ever since we co-starred in Nazodi, I witnessed how dedicated you are to your job. But you looked terrible the the last few months. I was worried.”

“Thank you for your concern. I never thought Ojo-sama would be so worried about me.”

“Ofcourse I do.”

“ And why would you may ask?”

“Because I like you.”

Sho was surprised but Keiko added immediately

“As my butler!” and winks at him.

“Sakurai-san. Kitagawa-san. The Interviewer for the magazine is already here.” The staff announced.

“But really, take care of yourself Sho-kun. I’m worried cause I consider you as someone close to me.” Keiko told him. And both of them went to the waiting room for the interview.

“ Good day Sakurai-san, Kitagawa-san. I’m honoured to be the one who will interview you. I’m Hatae from L magazine. Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu.”

“YoroshikuOnegaishimasu” Sho and Keiko replied almost at the same time.

“So shall we start the interview?”

“Oh yes, please.” Sho said.

The interview went so god so far, the interviewer asked a lot of basic stuff. Sho answered them flawlessly but the latter questions, those he didn’t expect.

“Since the movie is about losing someone important and wanting to see them again. Is there someone that you want to see so badly?”

Sho froze, and unable to think straight. The question caught him off guard but still he answered.

“Hmm.. Well, I want to see my grandparents. It’s been a while since I saw them. Work is keeping me busy and I hardly see my parents as well. So I think my family, they are the ones I want to see the most now.” But No, they aren’t the ones he want to see, he keeps it in himself.

“How about you Kitagawa-san is there someone that you want to see so badly?”

“There’s no one as of this moment. But there are times that I really want to see my mom. Like when I’m eating at home I suddenly remember my mom and it makes me want to see her. Or maybe I just want to eat her cooking again. I miss eating her home cooked food.”She answered with a smile.

“Kitagawa-san’s character is named Jun right? And speaking of Jun, it’s also been a while since Matsumoto-san went to New York. How are you adjusting?”

There, the name that he fears to hear or mention. It came out. Yes, it’s been 8 months since Jun left. He never heard from him, even the other members as well. He just left. It’s never been the same since Jun left, Arashi does not feel like Arashi. But the 4 of them continued to be Arashi. And also Sho’s life was never the same. There’s a void in his heart he knows that no one can fill.

“Yes, it’s been 8 months. Honestly, the other’s feels the way I do. We are still adjusting. We’ve been together for 16 years and it’s weird to be called Arashi with just the 4 of us.”

“Have you seen each other since he left? Do you think he’ll come back to the group?”

“No, we haven’t. I know he went to New York to study acting and film. He is passionate when it comes to work, and to the things he loves. I don’t know if he wishes to come back but if he does. We will be there to welcome him.”

The interview came to an end. Tired, Sho asked if his manager could drive him home. While they were at the basement parking Keiko called him.

“Sho-kun, I’ll have a party next week for my birthday. I hope you could come! I invited the staff as well.”

“I’ll check my schedule. I’ll let you know If I could attend.”

“Oh, please come? I really want you to come. Goodnight. Otsukaresama!”

“Otsukaresama Keiko-san.” And She went inside her car with her manager.

As he arrived home, he did not even bother to eat dinner. He went straight to bed. Lying there staring at his ceiling, the thought never left his head. He thought, “what if he comes back?” “Would everything be back to the way it used to be?” but he dismissed the hope immediately. He knew that he hurt Jun too much for him to come back to his life. He closed his eyes and Jun’s face appeared. He missed him. He thought, if it’s only in his dreams, that he can see Jun again. To hear Jun’s breathing and his heart beat. To smell his sweet scent that calms him and excites him. To feel Jun’s touch that makes Sho crazy. To taste his lips again that intoxicates him. To feel Jun’s warmth in his embrace and to hear him say, “ I love you Sho”.

“Ohayou minna!” Aiba excitedly greeted his members in their green room for Shiyagere.

“Ohayou Aiba-chan!” Ohno greeted back who was lying down the sofa.

“Aiba-shi, you’re too loud in the morning.” Nino complained and went back to his game.

“Ohayou Aiba! Your tension is up this early in the morning. What’s up?” Sho asked.

“Who wouldn’t be? I bet you’re also excited right?” Aiba replied with a stupid grin on his face.

“Huh? Why would I?” Sho said confusingly.

“Oh come on Sho-chan I know you’re excited to. You must have received something yesterday!”

This time Sho saw Nino and Ohno’s reaction. They looked at each other, and as if they silently agreed about something Nino stood up and went beside Aiba, put his arms on the taller man’s shoulders and said.

“Aiba-shi, have you tried playing that game I bought for you?”

“eh? You mean that game that I PAID FOR? Seriously Nino, stop buying games and making me pay for all of it.”

“ma.. ma.. let’s go to the cateen, I haven’t had my breakfast yet.”

“Oh! Me too! I’m starving!”

And both of them went out the green room. Sho just raised his right eye brow in confusion and ask Ohno.

“Did I miss something?”

“Nothing, you know Aiba, he is probably excited for today’s guest. Heard the staff told him its Vivian Hsu.”

“Are you sure Satosi-kun?”

“Yea.”

He left that conversation there. But he can’t shake off the feeling that the other members are hiding something. But he concentrates for filming and he forgot about it as the filming comes to an end.

They thanked the guest and all the staff and went to their green room to change. It has been a long day for all of them. Both Aiba who still has Recomen and Nino who still has a late recording for Nino-san left the green room together. Ohno left later. Sho decided to take a shower before going home. when he is finished, there was a knock on the door and a staff entered the green room.

“Ah! Sakurai-san good thing you’re still here. I saw this in the hallway. When Aiba-san left, he took out his script and this fell. I did not catch him to return this.” The staff hands-out an elegant small envelop to him.

“Oh, I see. Don’t worry I’ll give it to him tomorrow.”

“Thank you Sakuarai-san.” And the staff left.

Sho put the envelope in his bag and head out the green room. His manager trailed behind him as he approaches for the van. He arrived home, and immediately went to his bed. He changed to his pajamas and sat on his bed. He remembers the envelope in his bag and took it out. The envelope was in an elegant color of purple. It shimmers when light hits the envelope. There is an intricate design on the sides of the envelope and on the back there was an “S & J” written in elegant gold corsive. The envelope look like the invitations his family receives when there is a social event or social parties. He got curious and opened the envelope. There he saw a simple but also elegant looking card that also full of intricate and elegant design and pattern. He reads it till he read the last letters on the card and it fell on his feet.

Mr. Aiba Masaki,

We formally invite you to
