Here Jin glanced at his watch for the nth time, wondering what is taking Kame so long. He was about to pick up an old interior design magazine lying on the table when Kame’s housemate held a can of cold beer to his face.
He doesn’t really drink this late especially on working days, but since he already planned to take leave the next day and with all the chaos happened earlier, Jin took the can openly and gave the guy a grateful nod “Thanks.
Pi shook his head slightly “I know you need it.”
He was somehow surprised that he was not annoyed with the guy that particular night. Maybe it was time for him to make peace with Yamashita Tomohisa.
Jin lift the lever to open the can before taking a generous gulp, feeling the cool drink washes his throat. From the corner of his eyes, he saw the other guy grabbed a cushion and sprawled comfortably on the couch. Jin put down the can carefully before resuming his position observing the honey brown haired guy. Suddenly a question popped in his mind “Do you know Tanaka Koki?”
“Koki?” he answered with a raised brow. “What about him?”
“I met him at the hospital. He’s my daughter’s doctor” Jin replied truthfully, feeling tired for any mind games.
Observing the changes on Pi’s reaction, Jin knew he hit the jackpot “What? He’s at Tokyo Hospital? Did Kame saw him?”
“They talked” he replied curtly, getting really curious who Tanaka Koki really is.
The other guy was clearly not happy with Jin’s revelation. He tossed and mumbles in his seat “I bet he tried to persuade Kame on rekindling their relationship.”
It was almost inaudible, but Jin caught it and bravely asked “What is their real relationship?”
Yamapi looked up, surprised that Jin heard his mumbling. He wanted to dodge it but unfortunately he already reveal too much for any cover up. He sighed deeply “He’s Kame’s ex.”
The answer confirmed Jin’s earlier suspicion and he wanted to ask further. But he was out of luck as Kame interrupted from behind “The room is ready.”
He turned around and saw the young teacher leaning at the door frame, slightly flustered but with a welcoming smile. Suddenly he felt his throat dry. He clumsily stood up and nod to Pi before taking nervous steps towards Kame.
He didn’t expect his heart beat would go that wild just by looking at the guy. He thought his excitement for the day had already settled at the hospital. But he definitely didn’t expect at that moment was Pi’s attempt at poking his happy bubble “Kame-chan, you’ll be sleeping with me right. Give me 5 minute to change the bed spread ne~”
Jin bit his lips, trying hard not to snap and glared to the guy named Yamashita Tomohisa. At that moment he took back his thoughts earlier on making peace with the guy. There will be no such thing between them.
To make things worse, Kame replied sweetly to him “Thanks.”
He was so blurry with jealousy; he didn’t even notice he was already in Kame’s room. He was only jolted back to reality when Kame pointed to the bathroom “I’ve already hang a clean towel in the bathroom for you.”
Jin nodded politely and scanned the room with a small smirk on his lips, admiring the simplicity yet cozy decoration of the room. With a ceiling high book shelf at one corner and a small reading table at the other, the room clearly showed the younger guy personality.
“Well, I better leave you to your rest. I’ll be in Yamapi’s room if you need me” Kame nodded and about to take a step back when a sharp pain circled his wrist.
“No you’re not” Jin boldly announced. Then realizing what he did, he loosens the gripped. “I’m sorry.”
Kame looked directly at the beautiful mess in front of him, admiring the golden brown eyes, the softly wavy strands and the beautifully crafted lips. He sighed softly and offered “Do you want me to stay?”
Jin shook his head and stared directly into the expectant clear brown orbs “I need you to stay.”
As observed few times before, Kame licked his already moist lips and replied “Why don’t you take your bath first. I’ll make some snack for us.”
*******************************
“Eh?! He wanted you to sleep with him?” Pi shriek loudly in the kitchen.
“No he didn’t” Kame rolled his eyes as he cut the sandwiches into two. “And would you mind using a softer tone. He’s still in the house if you haven’t notice.”
Pi tried to steal a sandwich but Kame hit his hand quickly. The poor guy pouted. “So where’s he now?” Pi took a small slice of cucumber instead and shoved it in quickly under Kame’s scowling glares.
“Taking his bath” he replied nonchalantly, arranging the sandwiches nicely.
Slowly a wicked smile spread across Pi’s good looking face “Really? And how about you?”
Kame observed his roommate carefully trying to read the evil twinkling eyes “I’ll take my bath afterward of course.”
Pi faked a surprise look “You can’t be serious? You are planning to take a bath while he waits for you in the same room?”
“What’s wrong with that may I ask?” Kame raised his brows quizzically.
“Oh dear” Pi flapped his arms exasperatedly. “I know you have not been dating for awhile, but this is unacceptable. Now, give me the sandwich and let me pass it to him. You go and take your bath in my room instead.”
“Oh no” Kame shook his head. “I’m not falling for your trap. You just want the sandwich right.”
Pi pouted excessively and gave his best puppy-drench-in-the-rain look “How could you even thought of that?”
Kame pursed his lips and observed his roommate closely. Then he finally gave in to those sulking face even though he knew Pi was just faking it “Alright. But make sure you didn’t steal any.”
“Of course not. Now go” Pi grabbed the plate from Kame and shoved the smaller guy into his room.
As soon as he heard the shower hit the floor, Pi happily skipped to Kame’s room and gave a small knock on the door as if he’s a red riding hood visiting his grandmother.
The door was pulled eagerly by the guest but his face darkens when it was not the guy he was waiting for.
Pi flashed him his winning grin and pushed his way in by shoving the plate of sandwich to Jin. As Jin steps aside, Pi plopped himself onto Kame’s bed like he always have.
Jin placed the plate on a small cabinet and stares down at Pi “Where’s Kame sensei?”
“Having his bath in my room” Pi replied happily. “I thought we can have a friendly chat before he return.”
Jin pulled the study chair and sat facing the other “Shoot.”
“Since we don’t have much time, let me be straight with you. I don’t know what your intention with Kame, but if you planned to fool around, it would be best if you walk out of the house right now” Pi spoke calmly but Jin can sense the murderous aura from every word.
He sits tall and challenged “And what if I’m not? What if I’m the real deal? Am I welcome then?”
Pi let out a small laugh, stood up “We’ll see.” He bowed slightly and headed towards the door. But he stopped when Jin called.
“Why are you being overprotective over him?” Jin’s voice was clear.
“He was my first love” he replied solemnly without looking back. “The one that got away” he added before leaving Jin to his thoughts.
*****************************
“What’s that?” Jin asked as Kame entered the room carrying a huge rolled up item.
“A mattress” Kame replied shortly as he carefully spread it on the floor.
“Let me guess, Pi insist you to use it” Jin queried slightly annoyed.
Then he noticed the red blushes on Kame’s cheeks that he had missed. Kame shook his head and replied “I thought you would not be comfortable if the two of us cramping on the same bed.
The answer was so sweet and innocent, but the effect it had on Jin was the opposite. Jin felt his heartbeat went up again, face hot and all the blood rushed to the place he tried hard to calm down. He took a deep breath and stride over to Kame’s side and abruptly pulled him into his embrace “Enough of all this.”
Kame was totally stunted by it, stiffen in Jin’s arms, but as he felt the warm circles on his back by Jin’s playful fingers, he slowly relax. And as Jin leaned closer, Kame shut his eyes tight absorbed into the heated moment. The soft plush lips brushed his as he melted away. The kiss was so chaste but at the same time fill with passion and desire, drawn both of them together. It was an enchanted kiss.
After awhile, Jin loosens his embrace slowly; Kame’s eyes fluttered open staring at the crystal brown orbs expectantly. Jin gingerly pushed away Kame’s strands of hair that was threatening to fall; then he whispered adoringly “Will you share the bed with me.”
As if he was drugged, Kame nodded agreeing to it and being led to bed. It was their first time sharing a bed, but it was so natural, they fit into each other arms as if they were pieces of jigsaw puzzle.
The night was late and both were exhausted, but no one wanted to give in. They continue talking; sharing a piece of their life as if it was their last night together.
“Koki was my senpai. He was a kindhearted guy, full of compassion. I fell for him hard” Kame finally release the secret Jin has been waiting for. The older guy simply encourages Kame to continue talking by squeezing his hand softly. Kame obeyed “But I was a bit shy back then. Fortunately for me, Pi had always been there.”
“Pi the one helped you out?” Jin could not hide his disbelief.
“Yeah. I knew Pi from drama class while Pi and Koki was in the same basketball team. He was our cupid” Jin can really see how Kame adores his housemate. He finally understands why Pi was being overprotective.
“So what happened?” Jin asked cautiously.
“We were simply wrong for each other. But it was so hard to let go, we were stuck in a toxic relationship for years, going back and fro. But I have not met him for almost a year till today” Kame replied under his breath.
Jin tightens his embrace, resting his chin on Kame’s head “I’m sorry.” He paused for awhile, gathering his courage before open up his darkest secret “Reika is not my biological daughter. She’s actually my youngest sister.”
Kame was beyond shock with the revelation; he went speechless. The only thing he was able to do at that moment was to snuggle closer, breathing in Jin’s musky cologne.
Sensing Kame’s utterly bewilderment state, Jin continued “Her mother was my father’s mistress. She came to me when I she was 2 months pregnant and informed me that she’ll aborting the child. I was furious at both of them, my father and her, but I could not allow an innocent live being kill because of their selfishness. I made a deal with her.”
Then cautiously Kame asked “Does your father know about it?”
Jin shook his head “I already been on a bad term with him when he found out that I was dating my ex boyfriend back then. So, I don’t really see a point informing him such matter. Besides, I just don’t want my mom to find it out. Even Reio and Mariko don’t know the real story.”
“Eh?” Kame exclaimed.
“Yeah. I don’t want the two of them turn their back to the old man. One black sheep in the family is enough. They only knew Reika as my adopted daughter” he explained while caressing Kame’s back gently.
“What happen to your ex?” Kame’s whispery voice almost went unheard.
“He disagrees on my intention of adopting Reika. He believes a child will just burden our relationship. We fought all the time while I was busy preparing for the expecting child. Then once Reika safely reached our home, he snapped and left” Jin sighed deeply, feeling the wound open up again. Then he felt Kame wiggled himself in his hold.
Kame lifted his head and stares directly into Jin’s eyes, searching for his soul. He can’t hide his feelings anymore as he inched closer and kissed him softly before whispering “I'm falling for you.”
**************************
They were woken up abruptly by Jin’s phone. Mariko called sounding panic and asked Jin to come to the hospital immediately without explaining further.
Both made calls to their respective work place informing that they are taking emergency leave for the day.
As soon as they reach the hospital, the two guys were practically jogging through the corridor heading to Reika’s room. Stepping into the small room, Jin noticed a woman was sitting by her bedside. Kame who was right behind him, frowned deeply when he saw the beautiful lady in red.
“What are you doing here” Jin snapped furiously.
The lady smile sweetly and replied “I come to see my daughter.”
“You don’t have the right to call her yours” Jin barked back. His glanced over the small figure on the bed and saw Reika about to cry.
Kame was astounded by Jin’s ferociously attacking the lady. But he didn’t blame him at all, knowing the real burden he had been carrying on his shoulder.
“Well, I maybe don’t have the right now, but if I take the case to court, I’m sure I’ll win it” she challenged Jin solemnly. Kame can see that she was struggling with her words as well.
“What are you talking about?” Jin tried his best to tone down his voice even thought he was so riled up inside, sensing the situation will just hurt Reika in the end.
She shook her head as if trying to reason things with herself before softly mumbling “Well, not only had you got my daughter in an accident, your love life have not change at all” she glanced up and her gazed fell onto Kame.
******************
Lots of things happened in the weeks after. Koki tried to make a pass again, but Jin was possessively clingy whenever Kame came to visit, ensuring the doctor will not get any chance being alone with his sensei. Then as soon as Reika and Reio finall allowed to return to their home, Mariko wanted to organize a welcome party for the two, but Reio managed to convince his wife that he just need to spent some quiet time with her. In the end, the two went to another mini-break, saying they are not worry about Reika anymore since Kamenashi-sensei can help around.
Then, Jin officially hired Kame as Reika’s personal tutor. Kame refused at first, saying he’ll do it for free, but Jin insist and agreed to pay with hug and kisses instead. Both of them were slowly getting to know each other, using every chance when Kame came over for the tutoring session; for stolen kisses in the kitchen and such. They still call each other with proper honorific in front of the girl, and tried their best to keep a safe distance in public. But once they are alone, both simply can’t take their hands off the other.
As for Reika, the little girl could not be more than happier to have her favorite teacher around the house and seeing her father so lively.
But unfortunately the blissful moments were short-lived, Kame was called into the principal’s room “Kamenashi-sensei, please have a seat.”
Kame nodded quietly as he settles in “Kitagawa-sensei.”
“Coffee? Tea?” the old man offered.
Kame shook his head politely “No thanks.”
Kitagawa-san smiled warmly and asked “Do you know why you are being call today?”
Kame shook his head honestly.
The old man took a deep breath and replied “It’s about Akanishi-san”
The young teacher felt his heart just stop beating hearing the name being spoken by the old man. He carefully observed the calm and wise face he respected so much and sighed softly “You found out?”
“News travel” he admitted it. “Personally, I have no issue whatsoever on the matter. Unfortunately things do matter when it involves the children and their parents.”
Kames hold back his tears, knowing perfectly well where the conversation is heading to.
“I will not fire you, as I don’t want to taint your great reputation. But I’m sure you know what you should do” he patted Kame on his shoulder.
“Haik” Kame replied under his breath, afraid his own voice will betray him.
“You have been a great teacher and it such a sad thing for us to lose you. But it will be for the best” Kitagawa-san walked around the room with his hands behind his back before heading back to his place behind the solid wood table.
“It had been an honor working for this school” Kame stood up and bowed deeply, trying to gather all the courage still left in him.
“Before you go, I need to tell you this” Kitagawa announced grimly. “Few days back, I received a call from a lawyer. He was asking about you. From the conversation, I gathered that he’s working for Reika’s mother.”
Kame felt his world crumbled as his worst fear comes to life.
