“Ne, when will your turn, Takaki?” Hikaru suddenly asked.
Takaki who still deep with his fighting surprised at Hikaru’s sudden question. “Eh?”
“Your turn to get married.” Hikaru cleared her question. Takaki’s expression suddenly changed. The excitement before was replaced with a blank and sadness look.
“Did I say something wrong?” Hikaru asked worriedly as Takaki went silent for long minutes and his gaze was far away out of the scenery you could look by the window. Daiki, himself, just looked and waited his best friend next step.
Hikaru confused at Takaki’s act. She never saw Takaki so silent and sad like that. “Takaki-kun…” Hikaru said softly. “I’m sorry if I said something wrong.” She added as she slowly walked towards the couch where Takaki and Daiki sat.
“It’s not your fault, Hikaru.” Takaki said softly avoiding his eyes from Hikaru’s. He did not want Hikaru worried; moreover it’s her wedding day. The day she had been waiting for a long time. Takaki needed not to be Hikaru’s father to understand how happy she was.
“So, why are you so sad just now?” Hikaru kept asked. She did not want his friend unhappy at her happiest day. She wanted everyone to be happy as well.
“He just has a fight with Inoo-chan.” Daiki answered for Takaki and earned a glare from Takaki. A sign he did not like what Daiki just said.
“Fight? Are you okay?” Hikaru asked worriedly showing her care for his friend.
“Daijoubu. It’s just a little fight, nee, Takaki?” Daiki replied as he looked Takaki in the eyes asking his agreement. Daiki honestly confused about Takaki’s problem. He knew it’s not a little fight. It could affect all of Hey! Say! JUMP members.
Takaki nodded his head. “Daijoubu. Don’t worry. We just need time to calm down.”
“You’re not trying to hide something from me, right?” Hikaru wanted an explanation since she felt there’s something wrong with Takaki and Daiki.
Takaki was about to open his mouth when his cell phone rang. He took the phone from his pocket. “Ah, Hikaru, sorry. I need to go now. They need my help with the preparation.” He said after read the message.
“I’ll help.” Daiki said as he stood upright and followed Takaki. “It’ll be faster.”
Hikaru could not do anything but stared at her two friends. She still wanted to know more.
“You look beautiful, Hikaru. Don’t be so nervous when you say your vow.” Daiki reminded his friend.
“Dai-chan is right. You’ll be okay, Hikaru. Yabu will always stand by your side.” Takaki said smiling as he closed the door leaving Hikaru inside with a question of what he mean.

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
They suddenly heard the voice at the door. Yabu immediately averted his eyes from Keito’s and looked at the door. “Who?”
“Boku-tachi desu, Yabu-kun.” A voice behind the wooden door replied. Yabu and Keito recognized the owner of the familiar voice.
“Come in, Yuuto-kun.” Yabu said softly. As the door opened, it revealed Yuuto, Yamada, Yuuri, and Ryuu. The four of them smiled happily and Yabu returned it.
“Congratz, Yabu-kun.” Yuuto and Yamada said, exact at the same time. They were still in sync after a long time.
“Thanks.” Yabu said in short.
“Ah… Yabu-kun you’re so hot! From your look, you’ll be a cool but caring husband. Your wife will definitely be happy to… officially…have you. She’s so lucky. I hope I can get someone as you!” Ryuu exclaimed spontaneously as she made few steps into the room. She also gave her angelic smile to the oldest one. She intended to show her happiness to someone she looked up as her older brother for a long time since the time she entered the company. Unfortunately for her, her kind attention drew something bad.
Yamada narrowed his eyes slightly watching the expression his lover gave on her sweet face. He saw the admiration sparkling on her eyes, the sweet smile as she spread her soft lips, and the pinky blush on her high cheek-bones as Yabu patted her head lovingly saying ‘thank you’.
Yuuto and Yuuri took a glance over Yamada. Even though Yamada was a good actor, he was still a human, too. He, once in his life, could not hide the burning feeling from his body language. They wanted to laugh at him, however, they did not want to get scolded twice today. Yabu and Hikaru had similar thought, mainly if it related to their precious Ryuu. Yuuto then gave some soft taps on his best friend’s back and whispered softly to his ear, “Don’t be angry. Stay cool… stay cool…” Yuuri, on the other hand, cleared her throat in sudden trying to make Ryuu realized her stupid innocent act.
“You have a sore throat, Yuuri?” Ryuu asked innocently. She did not remember about Yuuri got a sore throat since her addict with herbs.
Hearing that stupid question, Yuuri widened her eyes at Ryuu then turned her gaze slightly to Yamada. She hoped this time her stupid innocent younger friend could catch her intention.
Ryuu followed Yuuri’s gaze and found it placed on Yamada. She saw Yamada immediately averted his eyes when their eyes met. And it was a signal he was mad at her. Ryuu looked Yuuri in the eyes. She asked ‘what’s wrong with Ryou-chan’ eye-to-eye and Yuuri only rolled her eyes while her lips parted and formed ‘Yabu’ silently.
Ryuu right away ran over Yamada and hugged, shouted “Ryou-chan, I’m sorry!” Yabu and Keito who did not have any clue what’s going on between Yamada and Ryuu only widened their eyes in shock.
“I’m sorry if I have told something dumb about Yabu. I only said what’s came to my mind at first place. I don’t have any intention to hurt your feeling.” Ryuu still hugged Yamada while the latter tried to free himself lightly hoping not looked so harsh. He had no heart for hurting Ryuu physically.
“You have none to be sorry for. What you said is right after all. And it’s me who actually has to say sorry. I’m sorry I can’t be like your precious older brother.” Yamada said dryly and stressed at word brother locking his narrowed eyes on Yuuto’s.

As Takaki and Daiki left her alone, Hikaru tried to trust her friends’ words. Besides, there was something more important than that. She should more concentrate on her wedding ceremony right now. As she opened the window, she could feel the heat of the sun. It gave a warm and comfort feeling. As she enjoyed her time wrapping on the warmth, she called the moment when her old friends came to her room.
*Flash back*
“KNOCK! KNOCK!” Hikaru heard the door was being knocked. “Yes.” Hikaru answered. The door slowly opened and revealed two figures she really missed. She could not stop the tears for welling up his eyes. “Taiyou-kun! Shana!” She exclaimed, running towards her old friends and former band mates. She did not care the fact she was being made up.
“Hey…hey… you don’t suppose to cry.” Taiyou said while Shana was hugging Hikaru.
“But… they don’t want to stay where they belong to. Besides, I really miss both of you. It’s like three different paths finally can meet at same place, even if just for taking a rest awhile before continuing the each other chosen paths.” Hikaru replied between sniffles, trying to stop the tears.
Taiyou and Shana looked at each other, understanding what Hikaru implied. The three of them along with Yabu used to be together spending their early teenage. However, they had different paths to walk through in the end. It was also not easy to arrange a time for them to meet up and chat like the old days. Both of them understood how busy Hikaru and Yabu as the Hey! Say! JUMP thing started. That’s why neither Taiyou nor Shana felt sad today. They felt extremely happy to see their best friends eventually found their happiness.
“You’ll be happy since this day, Hikaru. Omedetou.” Shana said.
“Shana’s right. You have to put smile on your face, not your crying face. I’ve come from a far place not to see your cry-baby attitude.”
“I’m not a cry-baby, Taiyou-kun! It’s Yabu!” Hikaru protested.
“Yabu? You still call your husband to-be, Yabu?” Taiyou asked unbelieving. “How cold you are.”
Hikaru defended herself. “I usually call him like that in front you.”
“That’s mean you call him with a honey-called when you’re alone with him?” Shana teased her, knowing that Hikaru simply was too shy telling her own love story.
Hikaru could not stop the blush creping on her cheeks. “There’s problem?”
“Of course not. It’s good news. You’re very close so it’ll be strange if you don’t have a honey-called. By the way, what you call him?”
“By his little name.” Hikaru gave simple answer.
“What? Just by his little name? Nothing more? Like honey, sweetheart, dear, angel, sunlight, moonlight, sunshine, dearest…” Shana began to name how a couple usually called each other.
“He’s not my husband, yet!” Hikaru shouted, embarrassing.
“But, he eventually be, I think…” Taiyou saw his watch. “…about two and a half hours.”
“So, what will you call him after the ceremony?” Shana asked, grinning.
“Why do you want to know?” Hikaru tried to avoid her responsibility to answer.
“Ouch… come on… Hika-chan… Tell us…” The older still persuaded her.
“No.” Hikaru insisted strictly.
“I think I know.” Taiyou said in sudden.
Shana and Hikaru raised their eyebrows.
“It’s best if I demonstrate it.” Taiyou then placed Shana’s hand in his. “Since Hikaru is a shy person, she will do it in her private time. Both of them will be like this after the ceremony is over.” Taiyou imitated Hikaru’s voice and imagined the scene after the just married couple was in their apartment, alone. “Kou-chan… ah…iya… my sweet hubby… we finally can get together… I’ve been waiting this since the first time I placed my eyes on you.”
Shana smiled and pretended to be Yabu, knowing what she should do. “So do I, my sunshine… I’m not going to make same mistake again for leaving you… If I leave you, someday, it’ll be the last time I can inhale the air of the earth… And… I’ll wait you… until we meet again in another world in another time…”
The red ink tainted on her cheeks seeing what-she-call-stupid-soap-opera. The giggles from other people who was doing their job to make Hikaru looked great today added the embarrassment she felt.
“It’ll be like that tonight, nee, Hika-chan?” Shana teased her.
Hikaru looked at Shana sharply and pouted, making the older woman laughed. “Owh… Hika-chan’s so cute as always. She never stands when it relates to Yabu.”
“I’m happy, it ended up Yabu is the one you choose, Hikaru. I hope he won’t do that thing again this time.” Shana whispered softly hoping Hikaru could not hear her.
“I’ll kill him the time he does it.” Taiyou added in serious tone.
*End of Flashback*
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! The loud knocked door woke Hikaru up from her memory. “Yes.” She answered tersely. The door opened slowly and showing a beautiful woman. She smiled to Hikaru. “Inoo-chan, come in.” Hikaru said smiling.
“You suit with your dress, Hikaru.” She said as she sat down on the couch.
“Thank you.” Hikaru replied. Takaki’s sad look suddenly appeared on Hikaru’s eyes. The curiosity that she had forgot awhile came back. As their best friend, Hikaru knew Takaki and Inoo sometimes had a fight, it’s a common thing. This time, however, she felt it’s different. She never looked Takaki so upset like that before. And now she confused whether she should ask Inoo or not. She did not want to step in their privacy.
“Hikaru.” Inoo’s soft voice woke Hikaru up from her thoughts
“Yes?”
“Are you okay?” Inoo asked since she watched Hikaru suddenly stared worriedly at her.
“Y-yes. I’m just nervous.” Hikaru answered trying her best to snap the curiosity out of her mind.
“I see.” Inoo just gave a short answer. After that, both of them somehow went silent a few minutes. They suddenly felt awkward.
“Takaki and Dai-chan came earlier.” Hikaru said breaking the silence.
“Really?” She did not look at Hikaru. Her gaze kept locking outside the window. Like Takaki did. Hikaru began thinking there’s big problem between them. “Do you want to know why I’m not with him?” Inoo suddenly asked without bothering to avert her gaze to Hikaru
