Shoon looked outside his bedroom window, a cassete in his hands. He looked at the calm blue sky, thinking of a certain brunette-haired teenager. He sighed, knowing how his lover would react. All these years, he had kept this a secret from Yabu. He had always wanted to tell Yabu, and he was about to when the latest test result came. He had accepted the fact, but he knew Yabu wouldn't be able to.
When he went to his dressing table mirror, he touched his face, tracing the faint bruises visible on his pale face. During the meeting with his doctor, the latter had told him that his time was almost up. The bruises are one of the symptoms.
He took a frame from his bedside table. It was a picture of him and Yabu. He looked at Yabu's face with a sad smile. "Tomorrow, Kouta..." A tear dropped onto the picture frame. "I'm sorry."
Shoon quickly wiped the tears in his eyes when he heard his brother's voice from outside the door. He opened his door and saw his brother standing there, carrying a big empty box.
"What's up?"
"Mom asked me to help pack your things," Reon answered. He looked at his older brother with concern. "Have you told him?"
Shoon shook his head.
Reon's eyes widened. "But we're leaving tomorrow. And-..."
"Kouta's on a one-week class trip now. I don't want to spoil it for him."
"But it will be worst if-..." Reon stopped talking when Shoon put a hand on his shoulder.
Shoon smiled at the younger teen, a flicker of sadness in his eyes. "I know. Don't worry, I have everything planned."
Reon sighed, deciding to drop the subject. "I hope you're right."
----------------------------------------------
The next day, Yabu went to the Yamashita residence bright and early. For the whole night after returning from the trip, he was excited to see Shoon. They did talk on the phone a bit that night, but he wanted to see him face to face, to touch him, to hold him, and to be in his embrace. They've been lovers for three years, and Shoon had always made him feel loved. Feel safe. He didn't know what he would do without Shoon.
When he arrived, he pressed the doorbell a few times. However, there was no answer. He knew there was a spare key under the flower pot so he used it to open the door. How surprised he was to see the house empty. There was a strong feeling of fear in his heart.
"Shoon?" he called out but there was no answer. He called again but still no answer. He tried calling Mr. and Mrs. Yamashita, and Reon but there was no reply as well.
Yabu was trembling when he made his way upstairs. His hand was shaking when he pushed open Shoon's door. He let out his breath that he was holding without realizing it. 'Why didn't Shoon tell me anything about this?' Shoon's bedroom was empty, except for his bed, the empty closet and empty book rack. He could feel a lump forming in his throat. Then, he saw a cassette on Shoon's table. He inserted it in the cassette player and sat on Shoon's bed as it began to play.
"Dear Kouta,
I bet you're scared out of your wits right now, and very worried too. And I also know I've made you cry, even before you started reading this. -sigh- I'm sorry for that Kouta, and I wish I'm there to wipe your tears away, and take you in my embrace. The truth is...I'm dying, Kouta. I know I shouldn't have hid it from you, but I know you wouldn't be able to accept it. I didn't want to hurt you."
Yabu shut his eyes, tears running down his cheeks now. "Oh Shoon," he sobbed. How could he not tell him? At that moment, Yabu hated himself. "Shoon had been suffering all this while, and I didn't notice anything..."
Stop it right now Kouta.
Yabu's eyes opened immediately upon hearing Shoon's stern voice. Then, it became soft again.
"Please, Kouta, don't blame yourself. I knew you too well to know that you're blaming yourself for not noticing." Shoon chuckled. "I love you Kouta, and that was the reason I didn't want to tell you. I want to spend my remaining time with you, and give you the best time that you will always remember even when I'm gone. Today, my family and I moved to the United States. My parents wanted other doctors' opinions, but..." Shoon sighed. "I know my time is almost up, and there's nothing anyone can do to save me." There was a short pause before Shoon continued, "Time is almost up Kouta, so I just wanted to say, I love you Kouta. I will love you forever. So please, for me, live your life with happiness. Don't mourn for me too long. I know someday, you will find someone that will love you as I did." There was a knock from the background, and Reon's voice was heard. Then, the recording stopped.
By now, Yabu was crying hard, hugging the picture of him and Shoon to his chest. "I love you too, Mayo," he said between sobs. "And I won't ever forget you."
