Series Summary: Jin searches. Yabu waits.
1. Run.
He didn’t quite know what he was doing.
“Where are you going?”
“To go see him.”
Jin dodged another pedestrian, throwing an apology over his shoulder as he kept running.
“He’s in the middle of a concert, Jin, I don’t think he’ll be able to see you right now!”
“I don’t care. I need to see him!”
He didn’t think he had run this fast in his life.
“What do you think you’re going to do when you get there, huh? Whip your hair back and smile? It’s not going to work anymore, Jin, it’s been a year since you’ve seen him!”
Why was he doing this?
“Yamapi-”
“You didn’t even say goodbye to him before you left. Do you honestly think he’s going to want to see you?”
His heart clenched. I know that, Pi.
“Don’t you think I know that?”
“Then why is it so damn important for you to see him? I wouldn’t have shown this to you if I knew you were going to react like this!”
“Hold the train!” Jin cried. “Hold the damn train!”
“Were you even watching?”
“Of course I was watching it!”
“Then you would have seen it too!”
“What? What the hell would I have seen?”
He leapt in, ignoring the looks he got from other commuters.
“He’s not- damn it, Pi, you have it recorded, don’t you? Go back and rewatch it.”
“And do what?”
“Watch his eyes. Watch his eyes and tell me I’m not crazy for seeing what I just saw.”
“What did you see, Jin? What the hell did you see in Yabu Kota’s eyes?”
“Last call for commuter rail 060 to Yokohama!”
Cracks, Pi, Jin thought, leaning back on the train seat. Millions of cracks.
“He’s breaking, Pi.”

Like hi! Like wow!
Like I’m not here right now!
So leave a message at the beep,
Like so, like ciao!
New voicemail, huh? Jin rolled his eyes. I swear, Hika, you get more and more strange everyday.
He groaned and flipped his phone closed sadly. “This isn’t working.”
“Akanishi-san?”
Jin turned. “Yes?”
“The concert’s is nearly over but you can come in now and we’ll try and get you to where Nishikido-san and Koyama-san are sitting.”
He smiled. “Thanks, Keiko-san, but if you can just get me inside, I kind of want to surprise JUMP when they come out.”
Keiko nodded. “Right this way, Akanishi-san.”
Jin followed her inside, nodding to the doorman as he went.
“You can wait here for right now,” Keiko nodded to the hall. “They won’t be out for another five minutes. I’ll have someone come out and get you before the audience exits so you can go see your kouhai when they come out.”
“Thanks, Keiko-”
Cause every time we touch,
I get this feeling,
And every time we kiss,
I reach for the sky
He grinned. “My apologies, but I have to take this-”
“No, no,” Keiko said, blushing profusely. “Go ahead, I’ll have someone come get you when it’s time.”
“Thanks,” Jin replied, barely containing his laughter. Oh, if only Pi was here, he’d die to see her face right now!
He flipped the phone up. “Did I ever tell you that my ringtone for you is ‘Every time We Touch’ by Cascada?”
“Why the hell did you even bother to breathe, you asshole?”
Jin grinned. “What do you want, Nishikido?”
“Saw you called Hikaru.”
“Why do you know that, stalker?”
“Shut up, at least I’m not a pedo like you with Yabu-OW!”
“Stop being such an idiot, Ryo!”
“Shut it, Koya!”
He couldn’t help but laugh. “Hey there, Keii-chan.”
“What’s up, Jin?”
“I was trying to get a hold of Hikaru-”
“Sorry, he’s performing right now but he asked me to hold onto his phone and Ryo, being the JERK-”
“Ow! What’s with the abuse, idiot?”
“-that he is, stole it from me and decided to call you back on his phone.”
“Oh, okay. Do you know when I can get him?”
“Umm, he’s getting off the stage now-”
He frowned. “Keii?”
“Where are you right now?”
“In the hallway outside the auditorium,” Jin replied, pressing his ear closer to the phone. “It’s getting louder here, can you speak up?”
“Umm, Jin, you might want to get out of there.”
“Why?”
“The concert just ended and the fans are already exiting so you might want to run-Ryo!”
“I’ll give it back to you in a sec, you whiney baby-”
“Guys?”
“Look up, moron.”
He looked up just in time to see the fans filing out of the auditorium, staring at him.
“The girls already saw you, didn’t they?”
“Umm…yeah. I’m screwed, aren’t I?”
“Yeah. But pleasure knowing you!”
“Ryo-” *click*
Jin gave a quick look at the fangirls and smiled weakly. Shit.
A/N: Hey guys!
Quick update, I know but for some reason, I really feel like writing a lot this weekend. Which is a bad thing for that mountain of history homework I have to do, -_-;.
Not a lot of JUMP in this one and I was a bit worried about that. Kiyu-chan reassured me that it was fine since I had the convo between Pin about Yabu and I had Hikaru’s voicemail (XD, hope you guys like that one, that's actually both one of my best friends’ and my voicemail in real life, ^_^). But no worries, there will be Yabuchii (and a bit of Hikaru, depending on my muse) next chapter.
I had fun with this chapter. I figured out the logistics with Kiyu-chan and I decided that Jin was in Tokyo possibly doing an interview for Yukan Club when Pi called. Pi could possibly have an apartment somewhere in one of Tokyo’s subdistricts and so Jin went there. Then, when he decided to go to Yokohama, he caught a commuter rail there (which takes about 25 minutes). Hehe, I always feel better doing my research, ^_^.
I’m having fun with the ringtone thing. I thought it would be a one time tribute to House (TELL ME YOU GUYS WATCH HOUSE) but since I’m sort of basing Jin partly on the character, it showed up again. Hmm...maybe I’ll keep the references up until all you people start watching the show. Hehe, YOSH!
Anyway, I could ramble forever but it’s not going to get my history homework done and I’ve got a phone conference at 7 with a former english teacher who has been graciously helping me out with my college essays. So I hope you guys enjoy! Catch you later!
