Ten years, whole then years Matsumoto had spent alone. He made one dreadful mistake and was too proud to admit his mistake, more less, apologize for it. He had hurt his husband, shoved his own son away to protect his own pride without even noticing he was played at. Never once he love anyone except Ohno Satoshi, but one night he spent in someone else’s embrace had made him lost everything he owned, his husband, his son, his house, his career. All just because one man doing.
A week after the divorce, he sold the house they built for 13 years. He split the money into two and send the half to Ohno’s account but investing his part of money for his son education. He moved to small apartment with two bedroom wishing his son would finally stay with him for a while. He tried to disband his orchestra, feeling himself unworthy to lead it again but all the players refuse his idea and stick with him even though they only got small concerts. He decided to work behind the curtains, creating something to shine everyone out, but not him.
The only thing that make him survive was only Masaki, his son, no, their son. He remembered how he had waited a whole week in front of Masaki’s school, tried to approach him, since he believe Masaki must be protected from his mistake. Even if their marriage failed, he didn’t want to fail as a father. Thus when Masaki finally knocked on his car window, he almost jumped out the roof. The boy had decided to give him another try to proof he could be a good daddy. The chance he never wasted.
He took his son to wherever the boy wanted and never once questioning him about his papa. He just wanted to have a quality time with his son alone during the weekend so he could get his energy back to face the next lonely week. Masaki grew as a young man he is now, understanding, compassionate like his papa but hard worker and perfectionist like his daddy. That was all that important for a Matsumoto Jun. or at least he thought so.
And now, after ten years of redemption his mistake, he got to see the one and only man he ever loves. Ohno Satoshi. He had spent years in shadow, watching the other from a far distance, only seeing with no guts to approach, thinking how he had hurt the dancer badly and how Ohno deserve someone else better than him. Anyone but him.
But tonight, in the limousine to the destined bar, he felt his hear beat to life again. He saw the window reflecting a solemn face he used to sleep with. Not much change could be found there, only wrinkles here and there, which he believe one crate on his forehead was for what he had done ten years ago. How he then wished he could wipe the crate on Ohno’s away.
The angelic face still stayed the same. Chubby cheek, pointed nose and pouting lips, all the same. And it still brings him the same feeling of love and protection towards it. Faith does play cruel. He didn’t understand how they could met tonight, nevertheless will have to work together but he couldn’t lie to himself that he wanted this chance, wanted to show the other how he had changed and start fighting for his love, all over again. He cursed himself for wanting to hold the shorter, bringing him into his hold again, finally came out from the shadow he had been in these ten years. But will Ohno accept him back?

"So, from now onward, please look after us." a group of five known as Storm bowed before them, and other staffs also guest stars. Matsumoto and Ohno couldn't escape from the occasion, they were made to sat next to each other in front the agency owner. They sat nervously through the whole brainstorming session to make the concert success.
"Ohno san, Matsumoto san, it is our pleasure that you finally agree to join our team." the old man before them smile wisely to show his gratitude.
"Let's drink for our new cooperation." he raised his glass high to make cheers to both of them. Ohno hesitantly put his glass to his lips. He never was a good drinker but he gulped it down any way.
"Here I'll pour another." the same assistant producer was immediately offer to fill in his glass. He was about to say no, but the buzz had gotten into his head so made his reaction slower. Suddenly, a hand covered his glass and he turned his face up to see the hand's owner.
"Thank you, but he is not good with alcohol, would you fill my glass instead? I'll drink on his behalf." Jun said, smiling sweetly so that no one on the table could feel insulted because Ohno refused to drink. The assistant producer looked wide eye to Jun and happily pouring another shot to his glass. The table talked easier after that.
Ohno felt himself relaxed, and he let his guard down for the first time after ten years. It was his first time to go out drinking again. He had devoted his life to raise Masaki, and didn’t even manage a time to go out. Every time he went to drink, it must be work related and he always kept cautions in those times, avoiding people taking advantage of him. He knew he didn’t need to be so strive since Jun had covered all Masaki’s education necessity. Whenever he tried to pay Masaki’s school, he will find the same amount of money transferred back to his account from Jun on the next day.
He kept his promise to Masaki, that no matter what happen between them, Masaki will always have both his Papa and Daddy. The boy stayed with Ohno ever since the divorce, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t meet his daddy who always picked him up every Friday until weekend. Masaki refused to go with Jun at the first time, and Ohno couldn’t blame him. He just told his son to follow his heart but reminded the boy also that likely or not, Jun stills his Daddy. But Jun also seemed to learn his mistake and it effects to their son, so he always be patiently waiting for the boy outside his school until his son willing to go with him, either watching the baseball match, hiking, or camping like they always used to do. But this time, only the two of them. Ohno always refuse to get involve with Jun ever again, not even want to hear Masaki’s stories about his daddy. What important for Ohno is, seeing Masaki’s smile brightly, that’s all, nothing more, not even Jun.
Or so he thought. But tonight, he kept glancing at the tall guy beside him, the guy that had given him Masaki. And once again, he felt the secure feeling within him. As if a sound told him that it’s okay to be reckless tonight, to get drunk and let his guard down since there will be someone beside him that will catch him. Somehow, he needed the feeling to be loved and protected.
It was pass midnight when the groups finish their drinking session. Kitagawa was supported by his assistant and the leader of the group. He kept on praising both Ohno and Matsumoto and how he believed that this year anniversary concert will come national hit, if not a world hit. The both men just nodded politely, looking the producer’s car leaving them outside the bar.
Ohno tightening his coat around him, looking back to the door of the bar, searching for his son that tag along earlier. He smiled seeing the handsome tall young man walking out the building. His smile was getting wider when he saw Masaki's arm around his girlfriend.
"pa, I have to drive Umika first, papa Sho had emergency surgery so he couldn't pick her up and she drank a bit too much tonight." Masaki said quickly looking at his papa and his girlfriend before he glanced at his daddy behind Ohno.
"Masa nii, I can go back on my own, you go home with papa Toshi." Umika tried to get away from Masaki's hand but she tripped on her own feet. Ohno quickly gripped the girl while another pair of hands was catching her too. He looked at the hand's owner, shocked seeing the person would even extend his hand to a girl he once yelled at.
"careful dear, you can't go home alone like this, let Masaki drive you." Jun softly lifted the girl, straightening her figure.
"thank you matsumoto san." Umika smiled shyly.
"pa, you'll be home too late if we drive Umika first." Ohno heard the worry tone in his son voice and he couldn't help feeling happy that no matter how old he is, his son will always care for him. Not even after he married maybe.
"I'll take the cab, don't worry about me." Ohno tried to assuring his son. But...
"I could drive you home, if you allow me." Jun said, asking his approval. Ohno surprised to hear the direct question. These pass years they divorced, never once they talk to each other, it will always be Masaki as their spokesperson. Ohno stared blankly at the taller, torn in his own thought, should he or not accept the offer. He saw Jun's cheek blushed but that might due to the cold air that night.
"yeah dad, you right, you could drive papa right. That means he wouldn't stay up too long. Pa, what you think? Let daddy drive you." Masaki enthusiastically shoved the idea to them.
