Summary: In his desperation of the disbanding of Ya-Ya-yah, Hikaru got an encounter within the rain.
Hikaru walked unexcitedly to Ya-Ya-yah…he meant to Hey!Say!JUMP dressing room. He, along with his best friend, Yabu Kota and the other 8 chosen boys had just have their ‘official debut announcement’ in YokoAri as the newest Johnny’s team who will also feature as the special supporters for the next World Cup Volley Ball Competition.
Hikaru in a hurry packed his things and planned to have his way home earlier tonight which was something he never done before, because he would happily stayed late at night to spend more time with his three brothers.
“Ja, see you guys tomorrow…” Hikaru bid everyone goodbye, before he suddenly felt a grip on his wrist. It was Kota.
“Hi…ka…”
Hikaru just smiled.
“See you tomorrow, Kota!”
Then in a rush he left the room, ignoring nine sad looks which followed his figure. Yabu just let out a long sigh. I’m sorry, Hachibee.
****
Hikaru felt like he was not in the best state to come home yet. He didn’t know how to face anyone with this kind of feeling echoed heavily inside his heart. So he just let his feet brought him to.
Why everything must turn out like this??? Why his should-be-happiest-day became a nightmare instead? Why only he and Kota who got a chance to debut? Why he must left Taiyo and Shoon behind? Why he couldn’t debut as Ya-Ya-yah with his three brothers??? WHY??? No matter how hard he tried to think a reasonable answer, he couldn’t ever find it.
Suddenly rain started to pour out and it was getting heavy within seconds. Hikaru in a hurry ran toward a bench in front of a ramen shop, though it was not much help to protect him from rain. But he didn’t care, he even wished he could disappear within the rain.
****
“Chihara dear, could you please take the bench outside. We’re gonna close down, soon…” her mother was asking for a help.
“Hai…” Chihara replied in instant as she took his favorite umbrella and went outside.
It was surprised her to found a figure on his family ramen’ restaurant bench. Is he a customer? When she was just about going to ask, she stopped at once as he saw something was running down on the guy’s cheek. Tears? Did the guy cry? Or it was the rain? Whatever it was, it was successfully make Chihara did something beyond her command. She, in instance, went back to the restaurant and took another umbrella for the unknown guy. Then she covered the guy with umbrella without saying anything.
****
Hikaru, in the other hand felt that the rain was not as heavy as before, when he looked up he saw a white transparent umbrella was covering him from the rain and when he turned around he found a girl was giving him questioning look.
“What are you doing here? You can catch a cold.” The girl asked worriedly.
It took Hikaru a while to answer.
“I don’t mind! It even better if I could disappear within the rain…” Hikaru answered unexcitedly.
“Baka! As if you could disappear by doing this…”
“I got that many times! I know I’m baka…ja, no need to care about me. Just leave me alone…”
“But you are sitting on my family’s bench, Mister~ So, I’m sorry I couldn’t leave you alone unless I got my bench back!” The girl said again tersely.
“Ah…sorry, I’m going then…” Hikaru apologized as he stood up and was about going to have his leave.
“Wait! Since you have wasted my time just before, you have to do me a favor first!!” the girl said bossily.
“Eh…?” Hikaru was confused.
****
“Was that delicious, Mister??” Chihara asked concernedly as she saw the boy ate the ramen she served for him hungrily.
“Can you please, stop calling me Mister? That sounds weird…” The guy begged.
“How should I address you, then?”
“My name is Yaotome Hikaru. So either Yaotome or Hikaru is fine…” The guy explained.
“Yaotome Hikaru…? Why does that name sound familiar?? Hmm…” Chihara thought hard.
The guy kept silent and continued eating, hoping Chihara would not remember, since he was not in the mood to talk about anything related to the agency.
“Where was it ne? Are you a base ball player???” Chihara tried to guess.
The guy shook his head slowly, signaling Chihara’s answer was incorrect.
“A foot ball player then?” Chihara guessed another answer.
Again, the guy shook his head.
“Sumo player???” Finally Chihara let out a desperate and stupid answer.
“I’m a Johnny’s, for God’s sake!!! Beside, do I look like a sumo player???” The guy finally gave in and revealed his true self.
“Aa…right! Now I remember! You’re one of those boys called Heisei something that have just been debuted right…”
“It called Hey!Say!JUMP…and yes, I’m one of them!” Hikaru corrected her.
“Well, if I’m not wrong shouldn’t you be happy in your debut day instead of looking gloomy like that???” Chihara said to the point.
Hikaru kept silent again. And even he stopped eating right now.
“Ah, I’m sorry…Maybe I shouldn’t ask that! Just pretend I never asked that question and continue your eating Mis…I mean Yaotome-kun.” Chihara corrected the way she addressed him automatically.
Silence fell between them as both of them kept their mouth shut. Before finally the guy, who recently known as Yaotome Hikaru, let out a deep sigh.
“Do you mind spend your time to listen a story from a stranger like me??” Hikaru asked hesitantly, though from the tone he used we could say he wanted Chihara to say no.
“If you don’t mind to share your story with a stranger, Mister…” Chihara said playfully, obviously enjoy to address him with Mister instead of his real name.
And so, there he went. Letting out his heavy feeling with a stranger he has just met today, or like one hour ago to be exact. But it didn’t stop him to spill everything, about him, about the debut of Hey!Say!JUMP and about the fact that he has to leave Ya-Ya-yah behind. Hikaru didn’t know why he ever could talk about that to a stranger, but now, he just need someone to share all his misery with. And when he finally has finished talking and stated that he felt like running away from all of this…
“Hmm, running away won’t solve anything, I believe. Beside, how about the other guy??” Chihara asked nonchalantly.
“Eh…? Dare?”
“The other guy who came from the same junior group as yours, the one that called Yabu-something…” Chihara said again, definitely, she’s not good at memorizing name.
“Do you mean, Kota?”
“Aa, sou…sou, that Yabu Kota guy.”
“What about Kota???” Hikaru asked in clueless.
“Mister, don’t you ever think he feels the same way like you do now? You both came from the same group, right? This means you guys share the same story, the same …pain.” Chihara stressed in the last word.
Right. She was totally right. How come I never thought about Kota’s feeling before??? If there was someone who got the most hurt right now, then he would be no one else but Kota. Kota was after all, Ya-Ya-yah’s leader, and he even has been with them since the very first time they were being formed. Baka! You’re so baka, Hikaru!
Hikaru cursed himself inwardly as he covered his face with his palms.
“Beside, you said before that you’ve failed to protect your other two brothers, now don’t you think you should treasure Yabu Kota-san the most? And…when time got hard like this you two have to support and strengthen each other …don’t you think so?” Chihara asked for agreement.
Hikaru put down his palm and faced the girl in front of him. And for the very first time on that day, Hikaru curved a smile, showing his agreement.
“You’re right. I should have been stronger…for Kota’s sake too.” Hikaru stated.
“Exactly!”
****
“Thank you for your time ne…I’m really glad I met you today, un….” Hikaru stopped his words as he just realized that he didn’t know the name of the one he has spilled out his problem to just before.
Chihara chuckled.
“Chihara, Moriaki Chihara desu. Make sure you ask their name first, before you have a chat next time, Yaotome-kun…” Chihara teased, and finally managed to call him with his name in first try.
Hikaru smiled embarrassedly, “Sorry…and once again, thanks for everything, Moriaki-san.”
“That’s not a big deal, really. Just promise me, you’ll do your best ne? Though I’m not a fan of sumo player, I’ll surely support you…”
“I’m a Johnny’s, not a sumo player…” Hikaru pouted.
“Okay, okay…though I’m not a fan of Johnny’s or whatever it is, I’ll surely support you, well you and Yabu-san…” Chihara corrected her words and gave him her support.
“Thank you Moriaki-san, that sure means a lot. Ah…I can come here again, right?” Hikaru asked for permission.
“Yaotome-kun my family ramen shop is for public, of course customers are very much welcome, seriously…”
“No….I mean, can I come here again…to meet you?” Hikaru waited anxiously for Chihara’s answer.
He didn’t know exactly why, but he didn’t want this encounter just be a once in a life time encounter.
“Well, a stranger like you is as much welcome as our customers too, I guess, Yaotome-kun.” Chihara said sheepishly.
And that’s enough to bring a wide grin into Yaotome Hikaru’s face.
“Thank you. I’ll take Kota along next time…”
“Okay…I’ll be waiting then. Be careful on your way home ne, Mister…”
“Not again…”
Chihara laughed dimly as witnessed Hikaru’s figure disappeared in the dark night.
And with that she went back to her house as she was wondering about her encounter with that stranger guy named Yaotome Hikaru. Was it just a pure coincidence or was it fate that will have a meaningful upshot for her in the near future? Well, let time answer that for her, later.
