“How can I help you, sir?”
“That heart shaped necklace …” Jin pointed towards the display. “May I know how much does it costs?”
“$199, sir. It is our latest collection. It is made from white gold, and has a few small diamonds on it.”
“I’ll take it.”
The salesgirl nodded, “Why don’t you take a seat first while waiting?”
“Okay.”
“Here is the necklace, sir.” The salesgirl showed Jin the item he wanted, allowing him to take a closer look at it. He seemed impressed by the beauty of the necklace, confirming that he wanted to buy it. Anything for Kazuya, the price doesn’t matter.
“Thank you for your purchase. Please come again.” The salesgirl bowed.
Jin walked out of the jewellery shop with a bright smile on his face, shopping bag on hand.

Cartoon KAT-TUN Candlelight Dinner Special
Jin stood wearing a smart black suit outside NTV’s entrance, he was told to wait there. Not knowing what to do, he simply waited, his hands crossed. Not long after, a silver Mercedes car parked in front of him. The cameraman instructed Jin to enter the vehicle while he sat in the front.
“So now what are we going to do?” Jin asked.
“We’re going to pick Kamenashi-san up, and then we’ll be heading towards the five class restaurant.”
Jin nodded, suddenly feeling nervous.
Relax Jin. Relax.
~`~
“We’re here.” The cameraman announced, “We’ll just have to wait for Kamenashi-san for a short while.” He nodded to the driver who went out of the car.
Jin frowned when he realise he couldn’t see anything on the outside because the windows were tinted. He slumped down on his seat, jolting up immediately when the door opened. He froze when he saw his princess entering the car.
“Thank you.” Kazuya whispered.
The driver bowed, closing the door after Kazuya had settled herself inside. She turned to face Jin instantly, a smile adorning her beautiful face. What can be more perfect than this? Jin for sure knows they’ll enjoy the filming throughout.
“You’re so beautiful, Kazuya. Words can’t describe how I truly feel right now.” Jin took a hold of Kazuya’s right hand, brushing it, gazing at her lovingly. Kazuya wore a cream chiffon tube dress, her hair being tied neatly, and her makeup flawless. “You just … look so amazing.”
“Thank you.” Kazuya blushed, feeling shy at being praised to that extent.
The cameraman smiled, relieved that he had taken this great footage. The couple, for sure, didn’t realise that they’re being filmed, being in a world of their own.
~`~
“Is the rest of KAT-TUN going to be part of this special too?” Jin asked during the journey to the restaurant, he could not help but feel curious. If they’re going to be a part of it, what would they be assigned to do?
“Yes, they will.” The cameraman answered.
“What will …?”
“You’ll find out later.” The cameraman smirked, seeing the pout on Jin’s face. The hidden cameras on the back of the front seats would be able to capture his every action perfectly, that of Kazuya too, who now smiled in amusement at her boyfriend’s cute expression. She made a move to comfort him.
“Jin, don’t sulk. I too want to know what our friends will be doing. Us not knowing anything about it makes it even more exciting, isn’t it?” Kazuya placed her hand on Jin’s arm, looking at him meaningfully. “Smile, please.”
“That’s much better.” Jin smiled, taking her hand in his.
~`~
Half an hour later, the couple stood in front of the designated five star restaurant, Jin’s arm wrapped around Kazuya’s waist. They waited until someone could serve them. They didn’t have to wait long as someone came to assist them immediately, that someone being Koki in a waiter uniform.
Jin tried his best to resist a chuckle.
“Akanishi-san, am I right?” Koki checked his computer, “You had made a reservation for 8pm, for two. You two are right on time.”
“I did?”Jin wanted to say but when he sees a glare on Koki’s face, he quickly corrected himself. “Ah yes, I did. I came here with my girlfriend, Kazu.” He said, not realising his slip. T-TUN was still not informed about the couple’s reunion yet.
Koki bowed at Kazuya, and smiled, catching Jin’s mistake.
“Nice to meet you, miss.” Koki took two menus, holding it to his chest. “Let me show you your seat then.”
The couple entered the restaurant, noticing that it is empty. They were the only customers, as it seemed.
“We’ve booked the entire restaurant for two hours.” The director explained.
“Have a seat.” Koki gestured to them both, placing the menus on the table. “Just call me when you decide to order. I’ll make a move first.” He bowed, and left.
“Wow, it’s so beautiful.” Kazuya turned towards the window, the view was captivating.
“Yeah, it is.” Jin dreamily sighed, his eyes fixed on Kazuya. “So beautiful …”
~`~
The light dimmed, the candles were lighted causing Kazuya to squeal at the romantic atmosphere, being with Jin at this moment, a soothing music being played. A tall figure interrupted their moment, bringing in their food and setting them nicely on the table.
“Junno, you’re a waiter too?” Jin exclaimed. “It certainly fits you!”
“Jin’s right … It’s like the waiter uniform is made just for you!” Kazuya added, laughing.
“Thank you!” Junno flashed his infamous smile, winking happily. “Enjoy your food.”
“Kazuya …”
She looked up at Jin, putting her fork and spoon aside. “Hmm?”
“I’ve got something to give you.”
“What is it?” Kazuya’s face lit up in excitement, her hands clasped together.
Jin reached for the inside of his suit’s pocket, taking a rectangular box out. He opened it, and let Kazuya see what his gift was.
“Jin …” Kazuya was surprised, “This … this must be expensive …”
“Anything for my precious girlfriend. This is worth nothing compared to your love for me. I’m really lucky to have you in my life. I don’t know what I’d do without you. I’m thankful for your love. I thank you for the bottom of my heart for having love a man like me.”
“Jin … You mean so much to me too.” Kazuya whispered.
“Do you accept this gift then?”
“Of course, I’d love to.”
Jin smiled, getting up from his seat to put on the necklace for Kazuya. “There, your neck doesn’t look so bare anymore. Like I’ve imagined, it looks so good on you, sweetheart.”
“Thank you.” Kazuya touched the heart pendant, flashing Jin a warm smile.
~`~
“Would you two like to have a dance together?” Junno asked, with Koki beside him.
“Dance?” Jin turned to face Kazuya. “What do you think, Kazuya?”
“Sure. It sounds great to me.”
With that, Jin led Kazuya to the floor, the both of them suddenly noticing Ueda’s presence by the piano. He had been playing all this while though.
“Ueda?”
The older one bowed, “Good evening. I’ll play the best soothing music ever so please enjoy your dance.”
The music started, the couple soon got into the moment. Kazuya wrapped her arms around Jin’s neck while he placed his arms around her waist, they both soon danced to the music. Kazuya leaned against Jin’s shoulder, sighing happily.
“This is so relaxing.”
“Hmm, you’re right. It’s nice to just dance, and be with you.”
As time passed, the couple was soon absorbed into the moment. They stopped dancing, gazing at each other’s eyes full with love. The time seemed to have stopped for them, the cameras were not there, and it’s just the two of them, alone in this space.
They inched closer. Kazuya closed her eyes as she feels Jin’s lips on hers, kissing her passionately, and her kissing back. They both seem to have forgotten that they were both being filmed as they were too indulged in the kiss, so much happiness surrounding them.
They broke apart after a minute, both of them breathless, a smile soon appeared on their faces as they both engulfed in an embrace.
“I love you, Kazuya.”
“I love you too, Jin.”
Ueda, who was playing the piano, smiled at this beautiful scene.
~`~
The shooting ended, Kazuya and Jin stood side by side, their hands clasped together. Ueda, Koki and Junno made an appearance once more, all of them not realising that the camera’s still rolling. Jin realised that someone was missing.
“Where is Nakamaru?”
The director smirked, “He’s inside the kitchen, doing his part for this Special.”
“Eh, he wasn’t the one that cooked all those delicious foods, was it?” Jin exclaimed.
“Of course not, let’s head to the kitchen and see for yourself.”
The members were shocked when they discovered what job Nakamaru was assigned with. He was currently washing the dishes, dirty plates and glasses were piled up, all waiting to be washed.
“Nakamaru!!!” Junno was the first to break the silence, laughing.
“We didn’t even realise it was you all along!” Koki said.
Nakamaru however flashed a small smile, ignoring them.
“This is Nakamaru’s punishment for coming in last for the date contest. He’ll do it until all those dishes are done with washing, and wiping them clean. Well that’s his job for this Special.” The director explained.
“Interesting!!!” Jin snickered.
“Shut up!” Nakamaru scolded, pointing at Jin.
“Ahhhhh … I’m lucky I wasn’t last!” Junno heaved out a sigh of relief.
“It was Kazuya’s decision to put you as last. You have to accept that fact.” Koki said.
“But … this …!”
“But honestly, the date with Nakamaru was really boring.” Kazuya finally voiced out causing the others to look at her in amusement, letting out a laugh. “Really!”
“Oiii! Oiiii ….. You don’t have to go that far!”
“Let’s get out of here. It’s getting stuffy in here.” Ueda suggested, the rest nodded in agreement, walking out of the kitchen and leaving poor Nakamaru alone.
“I’m alone again.” Nakamaru sighed, knowing the camera’s on him. “It’s so lonely!”
~`~
“Are you back together with Kazuya already?” Koki asked Jin. The five members were walking together towards the train station. Seeing a confused look on Jin’s face, he added, “I mean you two seemed so much in love during the filming. What more, you both kissed and declared your love to one another.”
“How romantic …” Junno dramatically sighed.
“What are you talking about? It’s Cartoon KAT-TUN’s Candlelight Dinner Special, so of course we’ll have to act accordingly! Am I right, Kazuya?” Jin’s eyes pleaded for help.
“Of course!” Kazuya nudged Jin’s shoulder playfully. “Jin’s my best friend after all.”
“But …”
Kazuya cling her arm onto Jin’s, the both of them happily enter the station together.
“Let them be, Koki. They’re both being too obvious.” Ueda shook his head at the act of the couple in love. “They’ll tell us when they’re ready.”
~`~
Jin had just taken his bath when the door bell rang. He frowned, quickly changing into a new pair of clothes before rushing towards the door, opening it instantly. Jin was surprised seeing the rest of his band mates in front of his doorsteps.
“What are you guys doing here?”
“Yo Jin, we all came here to hang out. Maybe watch a movie or two together.” Koki invited himself in.
Jin blinked.
“Before we’ll get busy with the recording of our new album, it’s good to spend some time together, the six of us.” Ueda explained, “Nakamaru’s words actually, not mine.”
“Hehe.” Nakamaru looked embarrassed.
“Six?” Jin counted, there were five of them.
“Oh.” Junno moved, revealing Kazuya who smiled shyly at Jin. “I’m sorry, I’m too tall.”
Jin smiled, mesmerised by his girlfriend’s presence.
~`~
Ueda and Kazuya went to the kitchen to prepare the food they’ve bought, the others were spread out in the living room. Having lived here before, Kazuya familiarised herself with this place. Kazuya smiled seeing how happy the guys were having chose a movie together.
“Here’s the food and drinks!” Kazuya and Ueda placed them on the coffee table.
“Kazuya.” Jin patted the empty space he saved for her. “Come quick. The movie’s starting.”
She leaned against Jin’s warmth, placing her hand on Jin’s lap as she turned her attention to the screen. Kazuya smiled when she felt Jin’s hand on hers.
~`~
They decided to sleepover at Jin’s apartment, too tired to go home at this time of the night. Kazuya was already fast asleep, her head leaning on Jin’s shoulder.
“You guys can decide who to take the guest room or the living room. The futons are in the cabinet in the guest room. The master bedroom’s definitely taken though.”
The rest could not help but grin at that. “Of course, we understand.” Koki said on their behalf.
“Then please make yourself comfortable. I’ll make a move first.” Jin carried Kazuya carefully, closing their bedroom door, locking it.
T-TUN looked at each other, and smiled. “Jan-ken!”
~`~
Jin placed Kazuya on the bed gently, pulling the blanket to her chest. He then stripped down to his boxers and lied under the covers, gazing lovingly at the sleeping beauty beside him. Jin brushed away the hair that’s covering Kazuya’s face. He kissed Kazuya on the lips before lying back down on the bed, his eyes closing.
“Good night, Kazu.”
~`~
Jin drove to Kazuya’s grandparents' home once again for their date. Instead of hiding it, he had informed Kazuya about it earlier, the latter was ecstatic and jumped onto Jin happily. This time, they’ve prepared a gift for her grandparents, specially picked by them together.
“I’m hungry!” Jin whined the moment they were out of the onsen, hand in hand walking towards the barbeque pit where Kazuya’s grandparents would be. They’ve mentioned that they would be having Barbeque for dinner.
“Hold on, we’ll arrive there soon.” Kazuya chuckled, hugging Jin.
~`~
“Jin! Kazuya!!!” A familiar voice called to them causing the couple to freeze in their steps.
Their eyes widened in surprise when they see the rest of T-TUN, Yamapi, Toma, Ryo, Uchi and all their close friends crowding at the Barbeque pit. They have not started eating, waiting for the couple to arrive. All of them were full of smiles.
“What are you guys doing here?” Jin looked so shocked.
“As a form of celebration from us to you two.” Yamapi waved his arms excitedly. “Congratulations!”
“Eh?” The both spurted out.
“You two lovebirds officially getting back together, that’s a good reason enough to celebrate, right?” Koki expressed.
“But we …”
“You don’t have to hide it from us anymore.” Ueda interrupted, “We know. It’s too obvious anyway.”
Jin blinked, turning to face his girlfriend. “Were we really that bad in hiding it?”
Kazuya shrugged.
“You two can’t keep your hands off each other! And that desired gaze you both wore whenever you looked at one another is a give-away!” Nakamaru said.
“Besides you two expressed your love on national television. Are you telling us that it’s just an act?” Ueda added, trapping them. “Saying ‘I love you’ couldn’t be a lie, right?”
Jin sighed. “You guys win. It’s true. We’re back together.”
“Really?” The guys asked simultaneously.
“I thought you’re so sure that we’re back together? Why the sudden question?” Kazuya looked amused.
“It’s not the same. We’d want to hear it from your own mouth.” Yamapi said.
Kazuya flashed Jin a smile, and nodded.
“Well alright, the news you’ve all been waiting for …” Jin stood behind Kazuya, wrapping his arms on her waist, leaning on her shoulder. “We’re really back together. It’s blissful.”
The others shouted and jumped in joy, happy for the couple. Kazuya and Jin smiled happily.
“Let’s eat!” Yamapi waved his hand to the air.
~`~
The couple walked hand in hand along the beach, letting the warm water touched their bare feet, the cool breeze in the direction of the sea. Jin stopped abruptly causing Kazuya to turn back with a questioning expression on her face. He simply smiled, pulling Kazuya closer to his chest.
“Can you feel this heart beats?”
Kazuya listened attentively, “Hmm, it’s beating really fast.”
“It beats only for you, Kazuya.” Jin whispered, gazing at his girlfriend with glassy eyes. “I’m thankful that you gave me a chance. I’ve hurt you so much yet you’re still willing to be with me. I’m really thankful. I can’t live without you.”
“Jin, let’s not think about the past anymore, okay?” Kazuya placed her hand on Jin’s arm, brushing it comfortingly. “Our present and future is more important, the past let it be a bittersweet memory. I’m glad I gave you that chance because I feel so happy now, with you.”
Kazuya crashed her body against Jin’s, “I can’t live without you too, Jin.”
Jin placed his hand on Kazuya’s hair, patting it gently, his eyes cluttered with tears of happiness, his lips curving into a smile. Kazuya could not help but feel emotional as well, she held Jin’s back tightly. Her eyes closed, relaxed in the other’s embrace. Kazuya frowned when Jin moved apart, the warmth instantly faded away, hearing a splash of water.
“Ahhhh!” Kazuya closed back her eyes, and backed instinctively, the sea water managed to wet a part of her dress. “Jin!!!!!!”
Jin ran away, that act started by him caused them to continuously splash water at each other, bright smiles and laughter accompanied them, both of them not caring at how wet they were instead were enjoying the blissful moment together.
Jin. Kazuya. Just the two of them.

Say 4 - 5 chapters, there’ll have to be a new title for that sequel if you want me to write it. Epilogue’s going to be really sweet, and all the happiness you could get. A beautiful fantasy, if I could call it. Hint: Akame baby. I promised, didn’t I, to all you readers out there. ^.~

“Is the rest of KAT-TUN going to be part of this special too?” Jin asked during the journey to the restaurant, he could not help but feel curious. If they’re going to be a part of it, what would they be assigned to do?
“Yes, they will.” The cameraman answered.

Half an hour later, the couple stood in front of the designated five star restaurant, Jin’s arm wrapped around Kazuya’s waist. They waited until someone could serve them. They didn’t have to wait long as someone came to assist them immediately, that someone being Koki in a waiter uniform.

“Would you two like to have a dance together?” Junno asked, with Koki beside him.
“Dance?” Jin turned to face Kazuya. “What do you think, Kazuya?”
“Sure. It sounds great to me.”
With that, Jin led Kazuya to the floor, the both of them suddenly noticing Ueda’s presence by the piano. He had been playing all this while though.
“Ueda?”
The older one bowed, “Good evening. I’ll play the best soothing music ever so please enjoy your dance.”
The music started, the couple soon got into the moment. Kazuya wrapped her arms around Jin’s neck while he placed his arms around her waist, they both soon danced to the music. Kazuya leaned against Jin’s shoulder, sighing happily.
“This is so relaxing.”
“Hmm, you’re right. It’s nice to just dance, and be with you.”
As time passed, the couple was soon absorbed into the moment. They stopped dancing, gazing at each other’s eyes full with love. The time seemed to have stopped for them, the cameras were not there, and it’s just the two of them, alone in this space.

The shooting ended, Kazuya and Jin stood side by side, their hands clasped together. Ueda, Koki and Junno made an appearance once more, all of them not realising that the camera’s still rolling. Jin realised that someone was missing.
“Where is Nakamaru?”
The director smirked, “He’s inside the kitchen, doing his part for this Special.”
“Eh, he wasn’t the one that cooked all those delicious foods, was it?” Jin exclaimed.
“Of course not, let’s head to the kitchen and see for yourself.”
The members were shocked when they discovered what job Nakamaru was assigned with. He was currently washing the dishes, dirty plates and glasses were piled up, all waiting to be washed.
“Nakamaru!!!” Junno was the first to break the silence, laughing.
“We didn’t even realise it was you all along!” Koki said.
Nakamaru however flashed a small smile, ignoring them.
“This is Nakamaru’s punishment for coming in last for the date contest. He’ll do it until all those dishes are done with washing, and wiping them clean. Well that’s his job for this Special.” The director explained.
“Interesting!!!” Jin snickered.
“Shut up!” Nakamaru scolded, pointing at Jin.
“Ahhhhh … I’m lucky I wasn’t last!” Junno heaved out a sigh of relief.
“It was Kazuya’s decision to put you as last. You have to accept that fact.” Koki said.
“But … this …!”
“But honestly, the date with Nakamaru was really boring.” Kazuya finally voiced out causing the others to look at her in amusement, letting out a laugh. “Really!”
“Oiii! Oiiii ….. You don’t have to go that far!”
“Let’s get out of here. It’s getting stuffy in here.” Ueda suggested, the rest nodded in agreement, walking out of the kitchen and leaving poor Nakamaru alone.
“I’m alone again.” Nakamaru sighed, knowing the camera’s on him. “It’s so lonely!”
~`~
“Are you back together with Kazuya already?” Koki asked Jin. The five members were walking together towards the train station. Seeing a confused look on Jin’s face, he added, “I mean you two seemed so much in love during the filming. What more, you both kissed and declared your love to one another.”
“How romantic …” Junno dramatically sighed.
“What are you talking about? It’s Cartoon KAT-TUN’s Candlelight Dinner Special, so of course we’ll have to act accordingly! Am I right, Kazuya?” Jin’s eyes pleaded for help.
“Of course!” Kazuya nudged Jin’s shoulder playfully. “Jin’s my best friend after all.”
“But …”
Kazuya cling her arm onto Jin’s, the both of them happily enter the station together.
“Let them be, Koki. They’re both being too obvious.” Ueda shook his head at the act of the couple in love. “They’ll tell us when they’re ready.”
~`~
Jin had just taken his bath when the door bell rang. He frowned, quickly changing into a new pair of clothes before rushing towards the door, opening it instantly. Jin was surprised seeing the rest of his band mates in front of his doorsteps.

“Before we’ll get busy with the recording of our new album, it’s good to spend some time together, the six of us.” Ueda explained, “Nakamaru’s words actually, not mine.”
“Hehe.” Nakamaru looked embarrassed.
“Six?” Jin counted, there were five of them.
“Oh.” Junno moved, revealing Kazuya who smiled shyly at Jin. “I’m sorry, I’m too tall.”
Jin smiled, mesmerised by his girlfriend’s presence.

Ueda and Kazuya went to the kitchen to prepare the food they’ve bought, the others were spread out in the living room. Having lived here before, Kazuya familiarised herself with this place. Kazuya smiled seeing how happy the guys were having chose a movie together.
“Here’s the food and drinks!” Kazuya and Ueda placed them on the coffee table.
“Kazuya.” Jin patted the empty space he saved for her. “Come quick. The movie’s starting.”
She leaned against Jin’s warmth, placing her hand on Jin’s lap as she turned her attention to the screen. Kazuya smiled when she felt Jin’s hand on hers.

They decided to sleepover at Jin’s apartment, too tired to go home at this time of the night. Kazuya was already fast asleep, her head leaning on Jin’s shoulder.
“You guys can decide who to take the guest room or the living room. The futons are in the cabinet in the guest room. The master bedroom’s definitely taken though.”
The rest could not help but grin at that. “Of course, we understand.” Koki said on their behalf.
“Then please make yourself comfortable. I’ll make a move first.” Jin carried Kazuya carefully, closing their bedroom door, locking it.
T-TUN looked at each other, and smiled. “Jan-ken!”

Jin placed Kazuya on the bed gently, pulling the blanket to her chest. He then stripped down to his boxers and lied under the covers, gazing lovingly at the sleeping beauty beside him. Jin brushed away the hair that’s covering Kazuya’s face. He kissed Kazuya on the lips before lying back down on the bed, his eyes closing.
“Good night, Kazu.”

Jin drove to Kazuya’s grandparents' home once again for their date. Instead of hiding it, he had informed Kazuya about it earlier, the latter was ecstatic and jumped onto Jin happily. This time, they’ve prepared a gift for her grandparents, specially picked by them together.
“I’m hungry!” Jin whined the moment they were out of the onsen, hand in hand walking towards the barbeque pit where Kazuya’s grandparents would be. They’ve mentioned that they would be having Barbeque for dinner.
“Hold on, we’ll arrive there soon.” Kazuya chuckled, hugging Jin.
~`~
“Jin! Kazuya!!!” A familiar voice called to them causing the couple to freeze in their steps.
Their eyes widened in surprise when they see the rest of T-TUN, Yamapi, Toma, Ryo, Uchi and all their close friends crowding at the Barbeque pit. They have not started eating, waiting for the couple to arrive. All of them were full of smiles.
“What are you guys doing here?” Jin looked so shocked.
“As a form of celebration from us to you two.” Yamapi waved his arms excitedly. “Congratulations!”
“Eh?” The both spurted out.
“You two lovebirds officially getting back together, that’s a good reason enough to celebrate, right?” Koki expressed.
“But we …”
“You don’t have to hide it from us anymore.” Ueda interrupted, “We know. It’s too obvious anyway.”
Jin blinked, turning to face his girlfriend. “Were we really that bad in hiding it?”
Kazuya shrugged.
“You two can’t keep your hands off each other! And that desired gaze you both wore whenever you looked at one another is a give-away!” Nakamaru said.
“Besides you two expressed your love on national television. Are you telling us that it’s just an act?” Ueda added, trapping them. “Saying ‘I love you’ couldn’t be a lie, right?”
Jin sighed. “You guys win. It’s true. We’re back together.”
“Really?” The guys asked simultaneously.
“I thought you’re so sure that we’re back together? Why the sudden question?” Kazuya looked amused.
“It’s not the same. We’d want to hear it from your own mouth.” Yamapi said.
Kazuya flashed Jin a smile, and nodded.
“Well alright, the news you’ve all been waiting for …” Jin stood behind Kazuya, wrapping his arms on her waist, leaning on her shoulder. “We’re really back together. It’s blissful.”
The others shouted and jumped in joy, happy for the couple. Kazuya and Jin smiled happily.
“Let’s eat!” Yamapi waved his hand to the air.

The couple walked hand in hand along the beach, letting the warm water touched their bare feet, the cool breeze in the direction of the sea. Jin stopped abruptly causing Kazuya to turn back with a questioning expression on her face. He simply smiled, pulling Kazuya closer to his chest.
“Can you feel this heart beats?”
Kazuya listened attentively, “Hmm, it’s beating really fast.”
“It beats only for you, Kazuya.” Jin whispered, gazing at his girlfriend with glassy eyes. “I’m thankful that you gave me a chance. I’ve hurt you so much yet you’re still willing to be with me. I’m really thankful. I can’t live without you.”
“Jin, let’s not think about the past anymore, okay?” Kazuya placed her hand on Jin’s arm, brushing it comfortingly. “Our present and future is more important, the past let it be a bittersweet memory. I’m glad I gave you that chance because I feel so happy now, with you.”
Kazuya crashed her body against Jin’s, “I can’t live without you too, Jin.”
Jin placed his hand on Kazuya’s hair, patting it gently, his eyes cluttered with tears of happiness, his lips curving into a smile. Kazuya could not help but feel emotional as well, she held Jin’s back tightly. Her eyes closed, relaxed in the other’s embrace. Kazuya frowned when Jin moved apart, the warmth instantly faded away, hearing a splash of water.
“Ahhhh!” Kazuya closed back her eyes, and backed instinctively, the sea water managed to wet a part of her dress. “Jin!!!!!!”
Jin ran away, that act started by him caused them to continuously splash water at each other, bright smiles and laughter accompanied them, both of them not caring at how wet they were instead were enjoying the blissful moment together.
Jin. Kazuya. Just the two of them.

Author’s Note: I’m sad to say this is the last chapter. There will be an epilogue certainly. Based on the epilogue, you readers can decide whether you want a sequel. Say 4 - 5 chapters, there’ll have to be a new title for that sequel if you want me to write it. Epilogue’s going to be really sweet, and all the happiness you could get. A beautiful fantasy, if I could call it. Hint: Akame baby. I promised, didn’t I, to all you readers out there. ^.~
