Author's Notes:
- 99% of those who will read this are familiar with Arashi, but for those who aren't, please refer to this video to have visual of the members (their names are shown as Last Name First Name as what is common in Japan. In this story, their name format is in English with Japanese honorifics).
- This is the final saga of my trilogy (with Heavenly Coffee and Message in a Cup). Our favorite characters are back with a new story. Special thanks to my beta saana_13.

Green shook an index finger at Ryo. "Pink...I mean Ryo, keep everything to yourself. Do not meddle with affairs that are not related to your duty as a guardian angel. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Green-san. I'll report everything to you but will do nothing." Ryo assured Green.
"Very good. I'll take care of the rest if things get out of hand. Now go back and watch over your stead."
Ryo bowed and left to join Jun and the rest by the seashore.

Jun looked at the stars in the sky. "Don't be down, Junichi-chan. You'll find what you're looking for one day," Mao squeezed Jun's hand, softly kissed his lips and left.
Once he was alone, he let out a sigh.
"I'm sorry about how I behaved earlier," Jun heard Sho's voice from behind.
Jun shrugged. "You're still pissed at me for turning down the business partnership between your hotel chain and my airlines after I promised earlier that it was a done deal."
Sho smiled bitterly. "I won't deny that." He hesitated and paused. “May I?” He asked and pointed at the sand beside the Jun.
“Sure,” Jun said.
With that, Sho sat on the sand beside Jun. "Sadly, today is a special day."
"It's your birthday?" Jun asked.
Sho shook his head
"You planned to propose to Aiba-san today?" Jun looked at him.
Sho laughed. "I'm straight. Masaki-chan my best friend. He just sometimes jokingly acts as a boyfriend to make me laugh. Don’t get the wrong idea."
"Oh. All right, then. Sorry for the wrong assumption."
Sho shook his head. “It’s okay. Apology accepted.”
Both men were silent.
Jun absentminded rubbed his hand over the sakura tattoo on his bicep.
"Do you mind if I ask the story behind the tattoo?" Sho asked and pointed at the Jun’s arm.
Jun looked at it and sighed. "It's a reminder of a huge mistake, as my mother said." He bitterly smiled. “You know how dramatic women can get.”
Sho tilted his head to encourage Jun to tell more.
“My mother had a rendezvous with a married man and get pregnant with me, so she called me a mistake before I was born. I know deep inside that she loved me so much, though. However, my father loved me more dearly so I had tattoo made in his memory,” Jun explained.
“Matsumoto-san must have been a very good father,” Sho carefully said. He hoped his assumption on the name was wrong.
Jun looked at Sho. "His name was Shu Sakurai."
