Yui takes the file on the table. The file that containing the picture of her so-called omiai’s partner. She doesn’t know what to think, as she don’t ever know if she really willing to go.
‘Should I go? Or should I not?’ She lets out a little sigh as she put her head on the table, using her arm as a base. Frankly, she just wants to satisfy her parents wish. Maybe she said that she will go, but that doesn’t mean that she should marry the person.
She closes her eyes. A glimpse of Nino’s face suddenly shoves into her mind.
‘Kazu-kun…is he okay… I wonder what it is…’ She whispers to herself. Her eyes then stare at the omiai’s file. A long stares. She holds it with both hand and raises it high as she leans her back onto the chair.
‘What I’m going to do?’ Then, she puts the file into the drawer and takes out a light yellow box from it. She opens the box and looks into the contents. She beams with a bright smile. She closes the box and embraces it. Now she knows what she would do.
‘I should believe what I want to believe.’ Yui says to herself determinedly.
She holds onto the box and brings it on her bed until she falls into the sweet dream, that night.

The buzz of the alarm awakens Nino from his sleep. He unbuzz the clock while not willing to open his eyes. He wants to prolong his sleep but the sound of his phone makes him lost his patience. The clock shows five a.m.
‘Who on earth calling me this early?’ Nino snorted but then he still pushes the answer button.
“Hello, Nino? Are you up?” He quickly recognizes the familiar voice.
“Ergh, what you think the time is? I’m nothing like you on the fishing boat at this time.” Nino teased the caller.
Ohno chuckles before replies “I’m sorry to bother you. I just remember that I left something the other day at your house. The small cooling box.”
“What?! You call me just to ask about that? Can’t you wait?” Nino gets out of his bed and heads to his living room. The small cooling box is just near to his couch.
He continues “Yeah, it’s here. Live and kickin’. Are you satisfied?”
“Thanks, Nino. Please bring it later. I’m afraid I don’t manage to go to your house today,” Ohno replies with a small laughs. “I suddenly remember it because I’m fishing now. You can go back to sleep.” He smiles though he knows Nino couldn’t see it.
Nino hangs up and walks back to his room. Somehow he does not feel like to further his sleeping. He is fully awake now. He stops in front of his table as he takes up his planner and switches on the table’s lamp. Flipping the pages to check his schedule. It seems like Arashi need to go on location shooting.
‘Where it is…ah, Hokkaido? Sounds great.’ He murmurs. He checks the date by pointing his finger thru the pages. ‘This weekend? Until…’ His finger stops. Wednesday?
That will be the day of Yui’s omiai. Nino puts the planner back onto the table. He looks intently to the date. ‘Wednesday huh?’ He will only return from Hokkaido on that day. Will she go? He sighs a bit. He lies on his back, staring upon the dark ceiling. Recalling the moments, the moments of her reappearance in his life.

Nino was in hurry as he pushed the lift button. He kept looking at his watch and the lift number impatiently. When the lift opened, he quickly rushed into it and bumped to someone with a lot boxes on. They collapsed and the boxes scattered around. He heard the voice asking in pain, “What floor is this? Is this 7th floor?”
He stood up and tidied his cloth. He saw a girl’s back figure trying to stand up while gathered the boxes. He collected the box which was near to him and gave it to her. To his surprise, he kind of recognized the face. Before he could say anything, he saw the girl rolled her eyes to him and said with the very shocked voice, “Kazunari-kun? Ninomiya Kazunari-kun?”
“Yui-chan? Aragaki Yui-chan?” Nino replied, almost in the same tone with her. He jumped and hugged her out of the excitement. A second later, he released his arm as he felt the stiff of her body.
“Ah, gomen! I’m so happy to find you here! What are you doing here? Ah, this isn’t 7th, this is 9th.” He explained. He could feel his blood running up to his face, as he embarrassed of his action just now.
“I’m moving here, on 7th floor, 727. Seem that I got at the wrong floor. What are you doing here? You live here too?”
“Yeah, mine on this floor. Ah, Yui-chan! I got to go to work now. Can I see you later?” Nino looked at his watch then to her.
“Oh, it’s okay. Ja ne.” Yui replied as she waved to him, who walked dashingly to the lift.
Nino came to see her on that night and he invited her to eat together. They went to the nearby restaurant and chatted until the midnight. That was the beginning for the untold stories that have been closed for a long time.
Somehow, it became certain habit-to bump to each other. That’s how they manage to have at least a brief chat, despite their busy work everyday. But they never realize what destiny has planned for them.

Arashi gather in their green room, waiting for their manager. Sho is reading the newspaper, Jun is leaning leisurely on the couch, Ohno seems comfort in his sleep, and Nino is busy with his DS while Aiba keep flipping the comic pages. After a while, Aiba open his mouth “Ne Nino, how’s Yui-chan?”
“She should be fine.” Nino replies lazily without looking at Aiba.
“Sou… Do you still like her?”
Nino chokes and coughs suddenly, as he surprises to the question. “Ha? What are you talking about?” He tries to cover his feeling by keep playing the games. He can feel that four pair of eyes is staring at him.
“I saw you riding her car the other day,” Aiba says cheekily as he continues to flip the comic pages.
“What?” Three voices say simultaneously. Nino rolls his eyes to Aiba as his finger still on the DS.
“Are you spying on me? Shameless.” Nino teases him.
“Nope. I just happen to see it.” Aiba replies.
