Only You ～きみだけ～
Chapter 15
“I’m going.” I told Nakamaru who is in the living room. It has been three years since Nori left us. I can’t forget about her. I can still remember everything clearly that happened that day. After she woke up, Manager-san talked to her and helped her find her personal information. I did not enter the room. At least I kept me promise to be there when she wakes up. Everything was settled swiftly. She left two days later. Her friend, Justin claimed to be someone close to her family came to bring her back. Both of them seemed to be very close. I wanted to apologize to him face-to-face but Manager-san said it was best to speak through the phone. He doesn’t want any chaos to happen at the airport.
So, I agreed. I thought I would get scolded or something worse but he thanked me for taking care of her even though I was the one that knocked her down. I guess she chose the right guy. I apologized to him about it. Justin told me that Nori’s name is actually Taira Misaki. He also told me the reason why Nori is in Japan. She was supposed to look for her grandparents whom their family lost contact four years ago. Her mother died when she was young and now her father is in ICU. I felt worst after hearing this. If only I had been more careful, her family would have been reunited long time ago. But thanks to Johnny-san again, her grandparents were found living in Hokkaido. They left together with Nori. That was the last time I’ve seen her.
Nowadays, I would cycle to a nearby park to see the cherry blossoms bloom. I am now currently taking a break. I actually wanted to drop out of Johnny’s Entertainment to have some time off. But Johnny-san suggested that I can sing again when I’m feeling better. I announced it during a press conference to promote my first and last solo concert and also to release the song I sang with Nori, ‘Love is You’. Of course, it caused a ruckus in the media as they were wondering who the girl’s voice was. Ever since then, I’d only perform when the cherry blossoms bloom. Nori said she wanted to have a picnic one day under these trees but we didn’t manage to do it. It’ll never happen.

“Do you think Akanishi is alright?” Nakamaru asked Kame.
“I don’t know…”
“I still remember his solo concert. His closing song…” Nakamaru said and close his eyes. His memory drifted back to that day. Nakamaru and the others saw Akanishi from the backstage. He sang the song he composed for Nori. Then, the last song…
[...KAT-TUN's Crazy Love...] “My last song today…is not supposed to be sung solo but I want to sing it for my special someone.” Akanishi said. His eyes were watery. We decided to go out and sing together when he reaches the おれだけで (with just that) part. A tear rolled down when Akanishi finished singing the last sentence, 二度と無いこのcrazy love (this crazy love that won’t happen ever again). They hugged him after that.
“I’ve never seen Akanishi like that before.” Nakamaru said after opening his eyes.
“That’s the power of love.” Kouki said.

I saw a girl staring at the cherry blossoms. Her back looks very familiar. Could she be…?
“Nori!!” I called out. She was smiling when she turns behind. Does she remember me? Is this why she is in Japan? I jump off the bicycle and ran to her.
“Nori…” I said and smiled to her.
“Erm…I’m sorry but do I know you?” she asked me. I was shocked. I didn’t know what to do. I’m very sure this is Nori. Her eyes…her smile…
“You looked familiar…Can you tell me your name? I’m sorry I lost…” I interrupted her before she could finish her sentence. I have to leave. I’m afraid that I can’t control my tears. Shit, Nori you’re still leaving a huge effect on me. She deserves a much better person and…my life is not suitable for her.
“I’m sorry, I though I saw someone I know.” I said. “You have a beautiful smile, you should smile more often.” I added. I smiled to her again and walk away. The thing that happened in the past, it’s like they’ve never happen before. It’s like a love that never was…
