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.

Jun was worried. After that revelation in the party, he had trouble sleeping. Three weeks from now they will start filming. He always thought this is a bad idea. He recalled their encounter at the party.

“ So glad you came Sakurai-san”. Stephanie greeted him and kissed his cheeks.

“My manager pulled some strings in my schedule. He said attending the party was important so I came here as fast as I can”.
“ohh, eager to see someone?” Stephanie teased.

Both him and Sho blushed. Then scold himself at his reaction. Sho was glancing at him sneakily.

“Ohh! You’re blushing Sakurai-san! So it must be true! I heard that you were linked to Ms. Keiko.” She smiled warmly at Sho. Jun turned to Stephanie intrigue to this information.

“So, I guess the rumors are true then? I’m glad that I invited her here!” she looked around and left Jun and Sho.

“Hello. How are you”. Sho whispered while he looks down. Jun hesitates but answered him politely.

“I’m doing great. Thank you for asking”. He smiled when Sho meet his eyes.

“I’m glad you’re doing great. So you and Ms. Wickham will direct the movie?”

“Yea! My girlfriend asked me to help her. I just can’t say no to her.” He was surprise b the sudden change in Sho’s face and more at his answer. Sho never asked him about Stephanie being his girlfriend. He just had the urge to say it in his face.

“I see. Well thank you for choosing me for this movie”. She said meekly still with sadness in his eyes.

“Well, Stef chose you. Not me. But I believe that you’re a great actor and is fit to be the lead role.”
Sho smiled shyly and looked at Jun with intensity. Jun alsmot feel like melting. He felt longing within those stares. He shook the feeling immediately.

“Jun, I-“

“Look who I have here!” Stephanie barged in. behind her was Kitagawa Keiko. She smiled at Sho and beamed when she saw Sho.

“Good evening Matsumoto-san, Sho.” She greeted them. She never left Sho face. Jun felt Sho’s uneasiness. He was looking at him, clearly disappointed as he was about to say something but cut-off by Stephanie.

“Honey, let’s go and get some drinks!” She whisks Jun away from Sho and Keiko. Jun turned his head on his shoulders and noticed that Sho’s eyes were still following him. He arrived at the bar and ordered some drinks. Stephanie now was leaning her head on Jun’s shoulder. Jun looked at the spot where they left the other couple. He felt a pang in his chest when he saw the both of them smiling and laughing at each other. Keiko’s gaze at Sho tenderly, Jun tore his gaze the moment he held her hand and lead her to the dance floor.



“Something bothering you babe?” Stephanie asked as she throws herself in Jun’s lap who was lounging in the sofa. Jun smiled and nuzzled his face on her hair.

“Nah. Just nervous. You know this is my first time co-directing a film. It feels surreal”. Stephanie chuckled and her face closed in on Jun’s.

“It is because it’s your first time directing? Or your going to be with him again?”

“Stef..” Jun groaned.

“what? Am I right?” there’s a hint of jealousy in her tone but Jun assured her.

“No. When I saw him at the party. I was surprised that I didn’t even recognized him.” Ofcourse it was a lie. He remembered everything about him. From the purple tie he wore that night. He remembered it was him who gave it to him as a present. To that little detail in his pants.
“ are you sure you can handle him?”

“Why is he the lead anyway?”

“I told you! I really like him. I want him. He is good.”

“but there are others who are better than him.”

“I want him Jun. I believe he can get many awards for me. Except for the best director award. Cause I’ll be getting that with my skills”.

Jun sigh. Stephanie gets almost everything she wants. And what she wants, well all of them are perfect.
“Okay. Nobody can stp you your majesty”.

“Ofcourse! Now jester! I want you to entertain me!”.
“Do you wan tme to sing my lady?”

“no! Dance jester! Dance! Then strip for me!”

“My lady, I aim to please!” Then Jun kissed her passionately. He thought that he shouldn’t be worried anymore. He chose Stephanie and wants to move on. He can’t let this to break them apart. Sho is now a part of his past. He can never go back.

“Jun-chan! Do you how I love you right?” Aiba cling to Jun. he was again drunk and Jun can’t stop himself from smiling. Aiba never changed.

“Yes, Aiba-chan. I know.”

“I love you! And Oh-chan too! I want to kiss him!” and he made a kissing face.
“Shut up Aiba! You’re so loud!”

“don’t be jealous Nino! I love you too! And I want you in my bed!”
Nino hit Aiba in the head and said “BAKA!”

And they all laugh. Aiba was now clinging on Nino saying how he loves Arashi. Jun was having a great time. He truly missed spending time with his friends. But he felt sad all of a sudden. Yes, he misses Arashi, and now he is with the others. But Arashi consists of 5 people. It also pains him that they can never go back to the way they were before. As if reading Jun’s mind Ohno said to him.

“Maybe all we need is time”. Jun faced Ohno as he put his hands to Jun’s shoulders. The older man now smiled at him. A comforting smile.

“I doubt it Riida. I can forgive. I think I already did. But I can’t seem to forget. “

“I know. You’re just afraid.”

“Afraid of what Riida?” Jun eyed Ohno.

“You’re afraid of falling inlove with him again.”

Ohno never fails to surprise Jun. The man clearly knows him too well. He had him figured out even they haven’t seen each other in a year.

“You think so?”

“Yes. I believe so”.

He just smiled at Ohno. Thinking about what his leader said. Could it be? He wondered. But he promised himself that he will never be with him again.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“CUT! Okay I think that was a good shot. Take some rest Sakurai-san.”
Jun said without meeting his gaze. He can feel Sho’s strong eyes on him. But he tried, he really tried not to look at him. Even looking at the screen makes it an impossible task.

“No, that was not a good take Matsumoto-san. I can tell. Do that scene again. This time I want more emotions!” Stef said in a loud but firm voice.

“Stef, I think it a good take, and we haven’t checked it y-“

“It seems like your slacking off Sakurai-san? Your acting lacks emotions. Or maybe it’s Matsumoto-san? Are you eager to finish the shoot?” Stef turned towards Jun and Jun froze in his seat.

“DO. IT. AGAIN and I thought you’re a professional Sakurai-san. Don’t disappoint me”.

Jun was shocked at Stef’s sharp comment. He never saw her like that. He knows she’s very different from conventional directors, and she is very detailed and wants everything to be perfect. But today he felt like Stef just hating Sho and him.

“I’m sorry, I’ll do my best.” Sho answered in a low voice and bowed slightly to Stef. He noticed Sho steal a quick glance at his direction and positioned himself for the scene.

“Remember, more emotions. I meant REAL emotions Sakurai-san.”

“Yes, I will”.

“Well, Matsumoto-san?”

The staff was also feeling uncomfortable. Nobody ever tried to be that strict to Sho. Since he is a good actor and also very popular and respected. Jun noticed it.

“Yea. Stand-by everyone!” He called to the staff. And everyone hurriedly took their posts.

“Ready! Action!”

And the scene started. Sho was screaming and begging in front of the camera. Jun can see his eyes nearing to tears. But he felt like the man was holding back. Then he heard Stephanie scream.

“CUT! What are you doing Sakurai-san? Why are you holding back?”

“Stef, maybe he is tired. He’s been screaming for an hour now. Maybe it’s best to take a break its almost lunch time anyway”. He pleaded to her.

“No. Do it again.”

“Stef?”

“This time, face Matsumoto-san.” Jun gasped. He surveyed Stephanie’s face to see a hint of humour in it. He saw that the woman was serious. He turned and faced Sho who was evidently puzzled and horrified at the same time. His head throbbed, and he buried his face on his hands. Stephanie was being irrational and impossible.

“Matsumoto-san, please face Sakurai-san. and can you please stand in front of him. Don’t get too close. Then when the part when he scream arrives, turn away from him and walk away.”

“Stef? I’m not included in the scene”.

“I know. I just need you to motivate Sakurai-san here. The camera 2 should be above Jun’s head. And camera 1 and 3 should only capture Jun’s knees understood?”

The camera men understood and nod their heads. Then they adjust and reposition themselves and their equipment again. Jun was still glued to his seat till Stephanie gaze at him.

“Jun, move”. She hissed. Jun jerked as he heard her say the words. He fumbled as he stood up and walked towards the kneeling Sho. He really felt like fainting.

“I think this time you can do it. Ready Sakurai-san?”

Jun just stared at the man’s head in front of him. It was too close for comfort. His heart is beating too fast. He can smell the shampoo that Sho used. It was a familiar scent. It was the same scent he used to love before. Jun closed his eyes and mentally scold himself. Stop it! Stop it!

“Ready! action!”.

Sho slowly lifts his head. Jun finally saw the older man’s face up close. Eyes were already teary, nose already red. His lips were parted and he can hear his shallow breathing. He felt something tugging his gut. It was an unbearable sight.

“Please..”

Jun once again closed his eyes. The voice almost pushed him on the edge. He was shaking, breath hitched up.
“Please, please. Forgive me. Forgive me. I have lived my life without thinking about other people. But..”

Jun can already hear Sho’s sobs. He prevent himself from opening his eyes. He closed his fists and told himself. Fight it jun! fight it! Remember! It’s just a scene.

“Everything changed. I know I have caused you pain. And I’m very sorry. I.. I..”

And finally Sho broke down. His sobs are now evident. Jun now felt as if the words Sho uttered came from his heart. His tears and sobs are only for him. And he clenched his fist more till he can’t feel them anymore. He is stopping himself to not drop any wipe away Sho’s tears. This is what he is afraid of. He is weak whenever Sho is near. He was now trembling.

“I.. I.. I’m very sorry. I was wrong. If only I could turn back the time, I swear! Would make it better! If only.. If only I could..”

Jun had enough. He could almost feel his own tears falling. Despite closing his eyes, tears are being pulled down. He slowly turned away. Knees were wobbly as he walked away. He heard Sho screaming now.

“Please! Look at me! Please! I’m sorry! I’m very sorry! Please!”

Jun was now literally running as he head to his seat. He now opened his eyes and saw the curious looks on the staffs face. He wanted to be alone, but knew better. He decided to go back to his seat next to Stephanie and collect himself.

“Please! Come back! I’m sorry! Please! I beg you. Please! I.. I Lo-“

“CUT!” Stephanie screamed as she stood up. Her high pitched voice caught everyone’s attention. She was panting, red flushed in her face. Jun swear he could see tears in the corner of her eyes. She looked down.

“That was beautiful Sakurai-san. That is what I’ve been looking for.” She said in a cheerful voice as she lifts her face and she was not smiling.

“All you needed was a friend right?” She now looked at Jun. She inched closer to him and encircled her arms to Jun’s neck.

“You were great honey!” she smiled and suddenly kiss him infront of the staff and cast. He could see Sho staring at them with a pained expression. He was still crying. Stephanie deepens the kiss, Jun reciprocate her. He felt like kissing her because the other man was gazing at them. Sho stood up and wiped his tears and went to his dressing room. Jun pulled away from the kiss. Stephanie then embraced him and whispered in his ears.

“You. Are. Mine”.
