Chapter 4: Taking the first step forward;
Yuto’s POV:
I was driving around the city to get some supper and fill up my empty stomach. Though that is it night time, the city still crowded with people everywhere but not as crowded as Tokyo; the capital city of Japan. I park my car when I finally found the perfect place for me to have my dinner.
“I missed eating at Ryu’s café.” I said and sigh.
I walk toward the targeted restaurant and just before I make a step inside it; I froze as my eyes shot open. What I just saw burning the anger within my body. I hold my fist, running toward the person who is currently laughing and cheerfully chatting with his fellow friends and a bunch of girls in front of them.
He look at me in wonder. “What the fuck are you think you’re doing?!!” I yelled at him and swing my fist to his face, punching him to let out my anger. He hold his cheek as his other friend start to panic. I know he’s hurt but I’m not done here… I grab his shirt, force him to stand up. “Damn you Arioka! GIVE RYOSUKE TO ME if you’re going to cheat behind him like this!!”
Before he manage to say anything; I landed a second punch to his face and throw his back to his seat. “Thanks to you… from now on, I WON’T GIVE UP!!” I declared and walked out from the restaurant.
I lose my appetite; I dashed toward my car and drive away. I feel so mad, and in the same time sad. I’m sad and angry toward myself, why I let the one I love so much to suffer. What am I supposed to do? I feel so pathetic.
I throw myself on my bed. “I know what to do now.” I said while looking up at the white ceiling. “Ryosuke get ready, because I’m going to take you and Yuusuke away!”
END of POV
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
“So he embarrassed you on your date.” Ryosuke said and chuckles as his treat the latter with cautions, putting an oil on his swollen cheek.
“It’s not a date!” Daiki shouted. “It’s a mixer and I was just forced to join because simply they lack of one guy.” Daiki explained. He already busy enough with his university assignment, he simply doesn’t have time to waste on seeking love. Besides, he already have Ryosuke right?
“Yeah, yeah… I’m sorry if you thought that I’m the reason why he attacked you.” Ryosuke sincerely apologize and put back the oil bottle inside the first aids box then throw the box on the table.
“I’ll accept you apology if you give me something to eat.”
“Don’t you just eat?”
“Anger make me hungry.” Daiki replied nonchalantly and turn his head toward Yuusuke who was silent all this time while deeply looking at him. “What’re you looking at?” Daiki asked the little boy.
Yuusuke shrugged and bring his body to sit closer toward Daiki. “Nee… did Yuto-nii really punched you?”
“Oh you heard what we talk; and YES! He did punch me!” Daiki pressed his voice while pointing his finger to his cheek.
Yuusuke nodded his head then turn to look at his mother. “Mom, does Yuto-nii a bad person?”
“What make you say like that?” Ryosuke asked.
“Because he punched Dai-papa and I hate seeing my family got hurt.” He voiced out his feeling. “But he look really nice to me, but punching people is bad.” Yuusuke sorted out confusingly.
“Yuu-chan, Yuto is not a bad person. He punched Daiki because of misunderstanding. Please don’t go judging people just because you heard he had done something not quite right in your eyes.” Ryosuke said, telling his son that he’s wrong to judge Yuto like that. It’s just a misunderstanding, no one is at real fault here. Neither Yuto nor Daiki. Please don’t hate your father Yuu-chan. Ryosuke thought as he sigh heavily.
“Okay lets eat, the food are getting cold.” Ryosuke said making Yuusuke eyes goes sparkle and the little kid jump out from the couch and running heading to the dining table before his mother. Ryosuke was about to go also when suddenly Daiki hold his shoulder, stopping him from going anyway.
“What? You said you want some food right, so what’re you waiting for?”
“We need to talk, just us…” Daiki said firmly.
Seeing how serious Daiki is, Ryosuke nodding his head. “Okay, but eat first okay. Yuusuke already starving.” Ryosuke said and continue walking toward the dining table followed with Daiki behind him.
*********
After make sure that Yuusuke already asleep, Ryosuke leave his son alone to go meet with Daiki who was waiting for him at the veranda. “So what you want to talk about.” He asked as soon as he is at the veranda and take a sit at a small bench there.
“First question, is there something you hide from me?” Daiki asked sternly with his hand crossed on his chest.
“I’m not hiding something from you; I just don’t have time to tell you about it.” Ryosuke answered nonchalantly. He’s not lying, it’s true. Daiki was so busy with his study and he can’t disturb him. “So I think since you already ask for it, I’ll tell you now.”
“Yeah, speak the true.”
“Yuto now live here.”
“What?! Since when?” Daiki asked incredulously. Same like when Ryosuke first time heard that news, Daiki also shocked to hear it.
“Recently.”
“Okay, Okay… that explain why he was there at the restaurant and punched me.” He said and massaging his temple. It make sense now, why he suddenly meet with the taller guy from Tokyo here at Sendai. “What else?”
“That’s all.”
Daiki gaze at Ryosuke full with doubt. “Really…?” He asked; “But why did I sense that there’s something more than just that.”
“Like what?”
“Ryosuke did you planning to get back together with him?”
Ryosuke lowering his head; avoiding eye contact with the latter. “I’m not sure about that, Yuto still have Chinen-kun. But I still love him, and really want to be with him once again.” It always give him a sad feeling like being stabbed on his heart each time he said that Yuto still have Chinen. It pointing out that he has totally zero chance to win Yuto back from the latter. How he regret himself for rejecting Yuto proposal that time. But unfortunately, time cannot turn back.
He know that, he completely know that fact. The fact that he’s just a third party in this family. But being the usual supporting and cheerful Arioka Daiki; he shouldn’t show Ryosuke the sorrow he’s feeling right now. “Good to hear that you still have those big wishes. You’re thinking about Yuusuke future too right. It’s okay… I don’t think you are wrong for wanting Nakajima. You deserve happiness.” Daiki said, comforting the latter.
“That all I wanted to know, you can go to bed now. Tomorrow you have work in the morning right. Oyasumi.” Daiki turned his body to not facing Ryosuke with a heavy feeling. How much he restraint himself from turning back and hold Ryosuke from going anywhere. Pin him up once and forever so that no one could take him away. But he know that impossible; he doesn’t want to torture the latter, if Ryosuke going to love him; it should be based on honesty not force.
“Okay, get to bed early Dai-chan. Oyasumi.” Ryosuke reminds him and leave Daiki alone.
“Looks like it’s just you and me tonight Mr. Moon.” Daiki talked while gazing softly toward the beautiful bright full moon on the sky. His chest feel so tight. It’s hurting him to say what he just said earlier. “But if with helping Ryosuke get back with Nakajima can give him happiness… I’m okay even though it’s killing me inside.” Daiki whispered and crave a faintly smile. Trying as much as he can to throw away all this desire to have Ryosuke all by himself far away.
“Ryosuke I love you… can’t you just choose me?”
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Yuto get out from his car as soon as he arrived at his destination. He push the door open and what greeting him is the usual maid who always serving him everything he stopped by to eat at this café. “Good morning, I wanted to talk with you manager.” Yuto asked the maid who seem to be a little stunned there when she saw Yuto talked to her. She haven’t meet with her secret crush for almost a month already and now she is nervous. “O-Okay!” She answered quickly and dashed to the back of the café, seeking for his manager in rush.
Since his usual table already occupied by a couple, Yuto have to find another empty table and luck because he found one at a corner far from other table. He sit there and waiting for the person he wanted to see come to him. “Yo! Long time no see.” Ryutaro greeted him cheerfully but Yuto responded with a stern face.
“I don’t have time to have chit-chat with you today. I come with a business.”
“Wow, wow, wow…. Wait Yuto, what’s going on here? Why’re you looking so stressed?”
“I need to talk something with you… privately.”
Ryutaro look around him; the café stared to get crowded since it already after 10 o’clock in the morning. “Not here, too many people; get inside the staff room and we can talk there. No one can interrupt.” Ryutaro said and guiding Yuto to the said room. He look around first, make sure that no one was around before he close the door and lock it from inside.
“So what’s the big deal?”
“But before I start, I want to apologize because what am I going to say maybe will hurt you so much.”
“Okay, you are making me even more curious now. Fine, I’m ready to heard it but don’t blame me if that news make me to suddenly punch you.” Ryutaro warned him and Yuto nodding understanding. “So?”
“I wanna broke up with Yuri.”
Ryutaro shot his eyes open. “Excuse me? What did you just said?” He asked, he know what he heard loud and clear but he can’t bring himself to believe it. “I need a proper explanation.” He demanded while sending a sharp glare to Yuto.
“I don’t love him like how a couple love his partner. I can’t see Yuri more than a younger brother.”
“And may I know why?”
“Because I love someone else Ryu… all this time; my heart belong to someone else and I can’t take it anymore!”
“Oh, I think I know who… I have met him before, once.” Ryutaro said, his voice sound like he’s mad. Wait! He’s mad. Ryutaro take a deep breath and release it slowly in order to let go off his anger toward Yuto. He sigh heavily and walk nearing his best friend. “Care to tell me everything that happen between you, Chii and that boy?” He asked, trying to be professional by not easily goes mad and punched his own bestfriend.
“It’s started four years ago…”
*******
Ryutaro massaging his temple; now he know how much pain Yuto caring on all this time and how much suffer his best friend ex-fiancée had face through all the years. “I’m sorry, I never knew about it.”
“It’s okay… I’m the one who doesn’t want to tell you at first.”
“So what’s your plan now?”
“I’ll get him back. I wanted to give up when I realize he already someone else spouse, but when I saw that scene, I take it back. I’ll do anything to have him back.” Yuto answered full with determination.
“What about Chii?”
“That’s why I here back in Tokyo. I’m going to settle thing with Yuri.” Yuto said then he look at Ryutaro firmly. “And I want to help you too.”
Ryutaro tilts his head. “Help me? In what?”
“Winning Yuri back.”
His eyes goes shady when he heard that. Ryutaro shake his lead lightly. “You don’t have to do it Yuto. It’s useless… Chii hate me now, he hate me so much and I can see zero percent that he will easily accept me back.”
“Have you ever try to talk with him with a thought to run away each time your eyes meet him?”
Ryutaro when silent, it’s true… he never try to talk to Chinen because everything he see the latter; he started to blame himself and want to run away. “No, I never try that.”
“Ryu please… I know it’s hard for Yuri to accept that I’m going to broke up with him. That’s why he need someone to be by his side; comforting him. You’re the right person. I know you still love Yuri all this time. And I know; you still silently keeping him safe every day. It show how much you love him.”
“But I’m afraid to get dumped.”
Yuto stand up from his chair and bow his body in front of Ryutaro. “Please! I’m begging you! I can’t just leave Yuri like that. I don’t want to see him get sick again. So please… please Ryu, please help me and help yourself. It’s time for you to make the first step forward.”
“You know Yuto… you’re quite a selfish person.” Ryutaro said sarcastically. He stand up, ready to leave him chair and goes back to his own room which is just located behind Yuto. “But what you did give me a little courage to step forward and fight for my own happiness.” Ryutaro whispered and leave his best friend alone there.
“Wait, did he really agree or that just a talk?” Yuto questioning himself as he gaze at the door to Ryutaro room. He shrugged; “Well, at least I finally told him the true.” Yuto walk toward the door and when he spin the doorknob and pull it back; he surprise to see the maid was there in front of the door, looking so shock.
Yuto furrowing his forehead. “Did you just eavesdropping our conversation?” Yuto asked and as what he just guessed, the maid nod her head faintly. She is a little bit blushing because she just get caught red handed by Yuto. “I’m so sorry… I didn’t mean to be rude. I just walked here and I heard you two talking animatedly inside. I make me curious… so-…” She try to explain with her body fidgeted quite hard. Yuto can clearly saw it.
“Hey, what’s your name?” Yuto cut her -what Yuto saw as just a lame excuse- explanation with his question.
“M-Me?” She point her finger toward herself.
“Duh! Of course it’s you! There’s no one else here beside you and me.”
“Yu-Yuki!” She shouted because of scare with Yuto stricken eyes.
“You don’t have to shout like that. Just tell me your name normally.” Yuto commented. “Well excuse me Miss Yuki… but could you move aside.” Yuto asked with his face showed nothing more than irritation and bored façade.
The maid called Yuki slowly move aside; giving Yuto a space to walk. “Thanks and good bye.” Yuto said rather coldly toward her. But even though Yuto acted like that to her; she still like him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
“Ah Yuto-kun! What make you suddenly come back?” Mrs. Nakajima asked as she exclaimed happily toward her son.
Yuto just give a faint smile toward his mother question. His mind already clouded with lot of problem and he simply have no mood for a chit-chat with his mother now. “Not now mom… I was so tired.” Yuto said and walk straight to his bedroom at the second floor.
Mrs. Nakajima shake her head and sigh heavily. “I hope thing are going to get better after this Yuto. I want you to get your own happiness with the right person.” She whispered and leave toward the kitchen. Since Yuto already at home, she should at least cook his favorite food. Maybe that can help cheering him up.
******
“So you’re going to be here since when?”
Yuto turn his head toward his father who’s asking him question. “Why? Do you hate it that I come back?”
“Nonsense!” Mr. Nakajima put down his glass and looking at his son weirdly. “I just curious to know what bring you back here. You was so determined back then when you decided to move out. So something must had happen.”
“Nothing, I suddenly missed both of you.” Yuto said while flashing his usual smile toward his parent.
“Ouhh~~ mom also miss you so much…” Mrs. Nakajima replied making her husband to burst out laugh.
“Yeah she really miss you so much. There was a day where she suddenly pack all her thing and said that she wanted to go live with you.” Mr. Nakajima just reveal his wife secret, still laughing at her.
“What’s wrong with it? I only have one son, so it’s not wrong if I wanted to pamper him.” Mrs. Nakajima replied, defending herself. She didn’t thought that what she wanted to do was wrong and it’s kind of annoying to watch her husband laughing at her like that. “Now could you stop laughing at me?”
“Okay, I’m so sorry because I laughed.” Mr. Nakajima apologize and his wife just rolling her eyes. She totally know that that apology wasn’t come from his heart. He wanted to avoid fight.
Seeing both of his parent bring a smile onto Yuto face. Mrs. Nakajima realize that finally her son crave a genuine smile. She feel a little relive and also smiling. “Finally I can see an honest smile from you.” Mrs. Nakajima sorted out her feeling. She can totally see it, how her son force his smile since he come back this evening. She can clearly see the hassle he is facing currently that make her only son to non-stop faking his expression. I really wishes I could help you more…
What his mother just said, snapping Yuto from his imagination. Bringing him back to the real world. He just realize that his fakeness had effecting other people especially his own family. That’s why he need to end it quickly. Yuto chuckles: “Yeah, you right mom,” And thanks to you, finally I realize that I need to move fast.
********
Yuto take a deep breath and slowly releasing it. Slowly, he grab his phone and scroll down his contact number list. He stopped when it reach Chinen Yuri’s number. He swiped the touch screen; calling the latter. After a few biping sounds finally the call reach the other person. Yuto can hear the usual cheerful sound of Chinen on the other side of the line. “Hey Yuri…” He started to speak.
“Yuto… mou~ it has been a very long since last time you give me a call.” Chinen whined from the other side.
“Gomen, I was too busy.”
“It’s okay; I can totally understand your work. Good luck okay!”
“Umm… Yuri, I wanted to meet you. Tomorrow morning do you have some time?”
“I’m afraid I can’t Yuto. I currently at my parent work place now since yesterday and probably about a week.”
“Ah, sou…” Yuto replied dejectedly.
“Mou~~ did you miss me so much?”
“Kind… of; sorry that I bother your work.”
“Nah, it’s okay… I’m just helping my parent here… Ah, work is coming! Gomen Yuto but we need to talk later okay, I love you, bye!!”
Yuto toss his phone aside as he throw his body back and laying on the bed. “Maybe next time…” Yuto whispered and close his eyes. He need energy to work tomorrow.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Haruna hurriedly walk out from her bathroom and grab her phone. Her phone keep on ringing and it’s freaking annoying for her. “Oh;” Haruna responded faintly when she look at the screen. She immediately answer the call.
“Moshi moshi…”
“Eh, really? Souka….” Haruna respond while nodding her head lightly.
“Wait, what? How am I supposed to do it?”
“Gosh! Can’t I just be an information broker? I have a lot of work that need to be finished quickly.”
“Okay, okay… I’ll try my best aunty, you don’t have to worry so much.”
After that call ended, Haruna sigh heavily while she drying her wet hair. “Well, I’m his best friend right…” She talked toward her reflection on the mirror.
“Time to make a bigger plan.”
“She doesn’t want them to be together… so here am I; playing as the destroyer of the relationship.” She whispered and then furrowing her forehead together.
“Wait, why did I sound so evil?”

Ryutaro when silent, it’s true… he never try to talk to Chinen because everything he see the latter; he started to blame himself and want to run away. “No, I never try that.”
“Ryu please… I know it’s hard for Yuri to accept that I’m going to broke up with him. That’s why he need someone to be by his side; comforting him. You’re the right person. I know you still love Yuri all this time. And I know; you still silently keeping him safe every day. It show how much you love him.”
“But I’m afraid to get dumped.”
Yuto stand up from his chair and bow his body in front of Ryutaro. “Please! I’m begging you! I can’t just leave Yuri like that. I don’t want to see him get sick again. So please… please Ryu, please help me and help yourself. It’s time for you to make the first step forward.”
“You know Yuto… you’re quite a selfish person.” Ryutaro said sarcastically. He stand up, ready to leave him chair and goes back to his own room which is just located behind Yuto. “But what you did give me a little courage to step forward and fight for my own happiness.” Ryutaro whispered and leave his best friend alone there.
“Wait, did he really agree or that just a talk?” Yuto questioning himself as he gaze at the door to Ryutaro room. He shrugged; “Well, at least I finally told him the true.” Yuto walk toward the door and when he spin the doorknob and pull it back; he surprise to see the maid was there in front of the door, looking so shock.
Yuto furrowing his forehead. “Did you just eavesdropping our conversation?” Yuto asked and as what he just guessed, the maid nod her head faintly. She is a little bit blushing because she just get caught red handed by Yuto. “I’m so sorry… I didn’t mean to be rude. I just walked here and I heard you two talking animatedly inside. I make me curious… so-…” She try to explain with her body fidgeted quite hard. Yuto can clearly saw it.
“Hey, what’s your name?” Yuto cut her -what Yuto saw as just a lame excuse- explanation with his question.
“M-Me?” She point her finger toward herself.
“Duh! Of course it’s you! There’s no one else here beside you and me.”
“Yu-Yuki!” She shouted because of scare with Yuto stricken eyes.
“You don’t have to shout like that. Just tell me your name normally.” Yuto commented. “Well excuse me Miss Yuki… but could you move aside.” Yuto asked with his face showed nothing more than irritation and bored façade.
The maid called Yuki slowly move aside; giving Yuto a space to walk. “Thanks and good bye.” Yuto said rather coldly toward her. But even though Yuto acted like that to her; she still like him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
“Ah Yuto-kun! What make you suddenly come back?” Mrs. Nakajima asked as she exclaimed happily toward her son.
Yuto just give a faint smile toward his mother question. His mind already clouded with lot of problem and he simply have no mood for a chit-chat with his mother now. “Not now mom… I was so tired.” Yuto said and walk straight to his bedroom at the second floor.
Mrs. Nakajima shake her head and sigh heavily. “I hope thing are going to get better after this Yuto. I want you to get your own happiness with the right person.” She whispered and leave toward the kitchen. Since Yuto already at home, she should at least cook his favorite food. Maybe that can help cheering him up.

“So you’re going to be here since when?”
Yuto turn his head toward his father who’s asking him question. “Why? Do you hate it that I come back?”
“Nonsense!” Mr. Nakajima put down his glass and looking at his son weirdly. “I just curious to know what bring you back here. You was so determined back then when you decided to move out. So something must had happen.”
“Nothing, I suddenly missed both of you.” Yuto said while flashing his usual smile toward his parent.
“Ouhh~~ mom also miss you so much…” Mrs. Nakajima replied making her husband to burst out laugh.
“Yeah she really miss you so much. There was a day where she suddenly pack all her thing and said that she wanted to go live with you.” Mr. Nakajima just reveal his wife secret, still laughing at her.
“What’s wrong with it? I only have one son, so it’s not wrong if I wanted to pamper him.” Mrs. Nakajima replied, defending herself. She didn’t thought that what she wanted to do was wrong and it’s kind of annoying to watch her husband laughing at her like that. “Now could you stop laughing at me?”
“Okay, I’m so sorry because I laughed.” Mr. Nakajima apologize and his wife just rolling her eyes. She totally know that that apology wasn’t come from his heart. He wanted to avoid fight.
Seeing both of his parent bring a smile onto Yuto face. Mrs. Nakajima realize that finally her son crave a genuine smile. She feel a little relive and also smiling. “Finally I can see an honest smile from you.” Mrs. Nakajima sorted out her feeling. She can totally see it, how her son force his smile since he come back this evening. She can clearly see the hassle he is facing currently that make her only son to non-stop faking his expression. I really wishes I could help you more…
What his mother just said, snapping Yuto from his imagination. Bringing him back to the real world. He just realize that his fakeness had effecting other people especially his own family. That’s why he need to end it quickly. Yuto chuckles: “Yeah, you right mom,” And thanks to you, finally I realize that I need to move fast.
********
Yuto take a deep breath and slowly releasing it. Slowly, he grab his phone and scroll down his contact number list. He stopped when it reach Chinen Yuri’s number. He swiped the touch screen; calling the latter. After a few biping sounds finally the call reach the other person. Yuto can hear the usual cheerful sound of Chinen on the other side of the line. “Hey Yuri…” He started to speak.
“Yuto… mou~ it has been a very long since last time you give me a call.” Chinen whined from the other side.
“Gomen, I was too busy.”
“It’s okay; I can totally understand your work. Good luck okay!”
“Umm… Yuri, I wanted to meet you. Tomorrow morning do you have some time?”
“I’m afraid I can’t Yuto. I currently at my parent work place now since yesterday and probably about a week.”
“Ah, sou…” Yuto replied dejectedly.
“Mou~~ did you miss me so much?”
“Kind… of; sorry that I bother your work.”
“Nah, it’s okay… I’m just helping my parent here… Ah, work is coming! Gomen Yuto but we need to talk later okay, I love you, bye!!”
Yuto toss his phone aside as he throw his body back and laying on the bed. “Maybe next time…” Yuto whispered and close his eyes. He need energy to work tomorrow.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Haruna hurriedly walk out from her bathroom and grab her phone. Her phone keep on ringing and it’s freaking annoying for her. “Oh;” Haruna responded faintly when she look at the screen. She immediately answer the call.
“Moshi moshi…”
“Eh, really? Souka….” Haruna respond while nodding her head lightly.
“Wait, what? How am I supposed to do it?”
“Gosh! Can’t I just be an information broker? I have a lot of work that need to be finished quickly.”
“Okay, okay… I’ll try my best aunty, you don’t have to worry so much.”
After that call ended, Haruna sigh heavily while she drying her wet hair. “Well, I’m his best friend right…” She talked toward her reflection on the mirror.
“Time to make a bigger plan.”
“She doesn’t want them to be together… so here am I; playing as the destroyer of the relationship.” She whispered and then furrowing her forehead together.
“Wait, why did I sound so evil?”
