[Complete] Lovin' 2- Chapter 22
So it's the end of August. That means school is coming up soon! (>_<) I don't want school to start! (Ah~ I sound like a whining kid...) Anyways, it's really hot today in Canada. It's 28 degrees right now. At least, there are four seasons here. I wouldn't be able to handle one season, either hot or cold!
-Megumi didn't expect that she would have to spend her Christmas in Osaka because of her job. With a confused heart, she decided to disappear from Arashi's lives, not for her own sanity but for their sake. She always thought that she was the reason why Nino and Ohno have gone separate from each other. What will happen when she's in Osaka? Will Megumi's heart finally a decision?

Chapter 22
As I walked in the subway station to catch my subway, I kept thinking about that kiss. That was our second kiss. I always knew he is shy when it comes to kissing people. I was already confused as it is, why did he suddenly make that bold move? Both Nino and Ohno are making my life so complicated.
I waited in front of the subway tracks. My subway was going to be delayed for a bit so I had a bit of time to think about my future.
I started to get hot and then I noticed I was still wearing Ohno’s scarf. I pulled out my cell phone and texted Ohno about the scarf. Then I quickly got a text message back.
It’s yours. It’s your Christmas gift from me.
I smiled and took it off. I’ll treasure it forever. Then I sat on a nearby empty bench and smiled as I stared at it.
“Merry Christmas!” I looked up and saw Nino in front of me. I widened my eyes and he handed me a small box. I looked at him and he looked away from me. “I spent money on it okay? You may think I’m a cheap person but sometimes I will go out of my way to buy presents for people.”
I laughed and then I started to cry. I was filled with so many emotions that I couldn’t hold it anymore. I started to cry and Nino started to panic as he saw me crying. “Megumi-chan, daijoubu? Uh… What should I do? People are staring over here.” Nino muttered to himself.
I looked at him and wiped my tears away with my hands. “Gomen. I’m just happy that I got a gift from you. Arigato gozaimasu.” I bowed my head and he smiled at me.
The subway bell rang and I looked at the subway that was slowly approaching. I smiled and pointed to the subway. “I have to go. Bye-bye.” I bowed my head again and walked onto the platform.
“Megumi-chan…” He muttered. I waved good-bye and found a seat on the subway. The subway started to move and that was the last time I saw them again.
I opened up the box that Nino had given to me. It was a small necklace that had a heart with a small diamond on the side. I gasped and I wore it around my neck. This was my precious souvenir in the memory of Nino.

It has been 2 months since I’ve last spoken or seen Arashi. My mother checks up on me few times a week to make sure that I’m okay. She doesn’t mention about Ohno or Nino anymore. I guess she knew that I wanted to forget about them.
As for my relationship with Ohno, I told him that I wanted to break-up. I know it was kind of mean of me to break-up with him over the phone but I told him that I was in Osaka. I didn’t exactly tell him where because I didn’t want him to search for me. I needed a break from my love life and focus on my job.
If you’re wondering about my job, it’s better than the branch in Tokyo. The people here are much more friendly and outgoing. I guess its true when they say that Osaka people are friendlier.
“Ne, Megumi-oneesan. Do you know the band Arashi?” A little girl, Kumiko asked me. Her parents had asked me to babysit her while they went to a family gathering. I agreed because the girl was so cute and sweet. Also it’s another way of making some few extra cash.
I looked at her and smiled. “Arashi? Oh, the boy band with five guys.” I said to her. She nodded her head and smiled. Then she pulled out 2 tickets. “Want to come to their Osaka concert with me?”
I furrowed my eyebrows and opened my mouth. “How did you get those tickets?” I muttered. Clearly a girl who is only 10 years old can’t get tickets like those easily... I was shocked that she had a pair and they were pretty decent seats.
“Okaasan wanted to take me there but it turns out she is busy that day so she told me that I can take somebody else.” Kumiko smiled and handed me a ticket. “Yay! You’re coming with me, ne, Megumi-oneesan?”
I nodded my head slowly and sighed. Did I have another choice? I took a huge gulp. Hopefully they wouldn’t be able to recognize me at the concert.
~*~
I wore a baseball cap, a pair of non-prescription glasses, a plain long sleeve shirt and a pair of simple denim jeans. I didn’t want to stand out too much. Especially since I ran away from them.
Kumiko wore an Arashi concert t-shirt and bought a lot of uchiwas and penlights. We were early to the concert venue because of Kumiko. She wanted to make sure she had a good spot to see Arashi.
I made sure no one recognized. Good thing it was going to be dark on the audience. Well, the seats that Kumiko really wanted, was a bit bright because it was right beside the stage, but I doubt Arashi is going to see me from their shining spotlights.
“Megumi-oneechan, aren’t you excited to see their concert?” She asked me as I looked around the concert venue. I smiled and cocked my head. “I guess.”
The audience were squealing and screaming as the opening started to begin. They displayed old pictures of Arashi and their old CD covers. I smiled as I saw some candid shots of them. They looked so innocent and pure while they were growing up. Now, they’re handsome and mature.
“Let’s get this party started!” Jun shouted as Arashi appeared from underneath the stage. Everyone screamed and I covered my ears. This was my first concert that I’ve ever been to. I hate listening to loud music and things. I don’t even like the bell at the subway station.
As the concert proceeded, it was enjoyable. I listened to many of their songs. I didn’t expect each of the members to have a beautiful voice, especially Ohno. His voice sounds very smooth and melodic.
“Here is Nino with Niji.” Sho shouted as he walked off the stage. The lights turned off from Sho and shined on the piano in the corner of the huge stage. I gasped as I saw him sweaty while wearing some glasses and formal clothes.
~As always.
You are sulking.
Hiding the important things to me.
Because that place is certainly the same,
I'll go there first today and wait.
The seasons bring the evening sun.
I found my shadow extending...
With a surprised expression, you saw me.
You seemed angry and suddenly looked outside.
I said "I'm sorry" and
"well, come here".
Hey, look, look.
Our shadows are overlapping...
Our umbrellas are colliding and I can't walk straightly.
Seeing me like that made you laugh.
I'll do it too and show it to you.
The same face when your angry.
You gently laughing
at this time and space.
I wanted to cry.
Your my most precious one.
I purposely showed an anger face...
Without saying "I'm sorry" to me,
you gently kissed me.
From now on it will be a little selfish.
It's alright to say.
But only to me.
Because it's troublesome.
Because I'm not submissive.
Why can't I say it?
I love you.
Just those words.
You sometimes want to hear.
Today, I'm with you.
The day we will share the same name.
The day our love blooms.
la... la... la...
The rainbow is beautiful.
No, you are more beautiful...
To you who begins to shine,
Thank you. Thank you.~
He sang the same song for my birthday. “I dedicate this song to Megumi-chan. Hopefully you will be able to hear this. I wrote this song for you.” Nino said and he quickly ran backstage.
I was left there speechless. I didn’t expect Nino to express his feelings through a song. Tears came running down my cheek as Kumiko shook me. “What’s wrong, Megumi-oneechan?”
I looked at her and smiled. Then I wiped my tears away with my hand. “Gomen. I just realized something. Arigato for bringing me to the concert.” I gave her a hug and she smiled at me.
I finally have chosen which guy I wanted to be with; hopefully it’s not too late.
