**********
Tik-tok-tik-tok. The clock strikes at 8:30. As I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was an angel-like prince, quietly resting above my warm and cozy body.
“What the hell? What happened? Why am I…? Why are you…?”
“Hey man, calm down. It’s not what it looks like. You got drunk last night so Saori asked me to drive you home. When I was about to leave…” No, wait. Will I really tell him what exactly happened last night? “Err, I tripped on something because it was dark that time. After that, I knocked myself down. As for you, I’m not exactly sure how you ended up here. Maybe you moved then fell down or something.”
“Really? I’m really weak when it comes to alcohol. Sorry for all the trouble. And thanks! I really owe you a lot.”
“Don’t mention it!”
***SAORI’S PERSPECTIVE***
I wonder what happened last night. After I sent them home, I immediately cleaned up and went to bed. Due to my curiosity, I picked up my phone to call Kazuya and ask how did it go. When I was about to dial, I received a message. “Hey! Jin here. I was wondering if we could hang-out today. I’ve got nothing to do so yeah.” Since both of them were together last night, might as well ask Jin what happened instead. “Sure. Pick me up at 12:00. I need to ask you something.” I waited for a minute then my phone rang, “So, you wanna talk huh? Okay, let’s go to a restaurant later. See you!” “Okay then, bye.” was the only thing I managed to answer. I don’t know why but whenever I talk to Jin, I begin searching for the right words to say. Is it because I get too distracted or I just don’t want to mess up?
Ding-dong
Without me noticing, it’s already 12:00. As I opened the door, someone jumped right in front of me. “So, are you ready?”, he said. “You seem to be active today. I just finished fixing up, let’s go!”, I closed the door, went inside his car, then off we go. Now we’re sitting beside each other. I could feel the awkward silence surrounding the car. I’m sure we’re both thinking of opening up a small conversation but we don’t know what topic is precise.
“So, Kame… I mean, Kazuya told me that you asked him to drive me back home last night. Thanks! Thanks a lot, I mean it.”
“Don’t mention it!” Just like that, our conversation ended.
**********
Finally, we arrived in a simple, nature-themed restaurant. As we wait for our food to come, he suddenly said, “So Saori, what did you wanna ask?”. Oh yeah, I came here to ask him something.
“I was just wondering if everything turned out fine last night.”
“Oh yeah, I was able to get a good night sleep. Kazuya slept at my house as well.”
“Really? It seems that both of you are really good friends now.”
“Yeah.”
“There’s one more thing I want to say. It’s been bothering me for a while now and I’m not sure if this is right but I really can’t hold it anymore.”
“Okay sure, go ahead.”
“I… I… I like you. I know I have Kazuya and all, but I really like you. It doesn’t matter if my love is unrequited as long as I can tell you how I really feel, I know…”
“Shh, that’s enough. You know, if I have met you way before Kazuya did, I would also fall in love with you. Right now Saori, liking me isn’t a good choice. I can feel that Kazuya will really be eradicated once you leave him. He really loves you and…”
“I know. That’s why I’m telling you this right now hoping that you’ll turn me down. Now I know what to do. I’m not confused anymore. Thank you.”
“Don’t be like this.”
“No, it’s alright, we’re still friends Jin.”
***JIN’S PERSPECTIVE***
Ring-ring.
“Hey Jin, it’s Kazuya. I’ve been trying to reach Saori for a week now but she’s not picking up. I was thinking of going to her house but it might make the situation worse. Do you know that she’s up to? I’m really worried.”
“Sorry, I have no idea.”
“Jin? Are you alright? You seemed to be down. Do you want me to come over? Maybe I could cheer you up.”
“Okay. It’s up to you.”
“I’ll be right there.”
It’s been a month since we have met. My life now has a new meaning. I’ve been through a lot of things, but this is something totally different. Now that I know Saori’s feelings and I’m Kazuya’s new best friend, I can’t afford to make any mistake. “Listen Jin, you’ve never been this happy in your whole life. You better make this last longer or you’ll regret it afterwards.” This is what I’ve been trying to tell myself every time I wake up in the morning. Saori’s tempting and all but there’s a part of me that doesn’t want to hurt Kazuya’s feelings.
Ding-dong.
“Hey! I brought us some snacks and drinks. Forget all your problems Jin, let’s have some fun tonight shall we?”
“That’s just what I need. You’re really awesome. Bring it on man!”
It’s funny how I find Kazuya appealing. If I was a woman, I’d also like him to be the father of my children. He has each and every attributes a gentleman could have. I wonder what Saori saw in me. Kazuya’s more worth it compared to me. I really have fun whenever we’re together. It seems that we truly are meant to be friends. Time passes by really fast every time we hang out. Since he’s quite a serious type of person, it’s my job to make him experience things that he doesn’t usually do. We made a lot of good memories for such a short period of time. I really treasure that.
“What’s your problem? You’ve been staring at me for five minutes now and yet you haven’t said a thing.” he said with a loud voice.
“Huh? What? Me? Staring at you? You must be dreaming! I was just thinking of something.”
“Well, just enjoy yourself. Erase all the problems in your mind ‘coz this night is just for the two of us - you and me.”
“Are you mad? I think you’re already smashed. That’s enough! Do you remember what happened to me when I was drunk? Do you really want that to happen to you?”
“I remember that. I thought you were kinda cute back then. You know what? I’m gonna tell you a secret, just between the two of us.”
“Okay then, surprise me.”
“I like someone.”
“That’s not a secret. I know that already! That’s Saori right? You like her. No, you love her. I know that!”
“No, no, no, I meant another someone. I’m a bad bad person.”
“You really are insane.”
“You wanna know who?”
“Who?”
“You.”
I sat there, frozen, as I try to absorb his words slowly. My heart was bursting with extreme emotions, emotions that I, myself, could not explain. Why? Why was I more affected and surprised to his words more than that of Saori’s? Is it because he’s a man? Or is it because… No, this can’t be happening. Is this the reason why I have more fun when I’m with him? Is this the reason why I turned Saori down? Is this the reason why I don’t want Kazuya to get hurt?
“You can call me Kame as much as you want to. I’m starting to like that nickname you gave me.”
He got up and sat on my lap. Slowly, he leaned towards me and reached for my lips. He pressed his to mine and progressively penetrated through my mouth. I can taste that bittersweet juice coming from his as he gobbled everything that’s inside of me. Finally, he got satisfied. Our lips gradually parted and his eyes gently closed. “Good night my Kame, good night.”
