Chapter 3
“Another bottle?” Takako said, standing up and dancing around with the empty tequila bottle in her hand.
Jin looked at her and he started blinking, “Takako-chan! There are two of you! Cool!!” he exclaimed, resting his elbow on the bar and putting his hand on his cheeks to make the whole room stop from swaying.
“Baka! You’re drunk!” she said as she walks back to her seat. “Ouch!” she cried as she stumbled on her seat.
“You are too, baka!” he said, still blinking as the room is still swaying around. “Why are you drinking yourself to death?” he asked, knowing that she doesn’t drink this much.
She gave out a little laugh, “My boyfriend...” she started, Jin rolled his eyes, it has been reported that she’s dating a dancer guy and Jin is informed of that. “He’s a cheater! He’s with some girl, having sex with her in a hotel...” she said, pouring a shot on her glass from their new bottle.
“He’s an asshole!” he shouted.
“JIN!!” voices interrupted them, Jin turned around to see his three drunken friends.
“Whoa!! Everyone has twins!” he said, amused.
“We’ve been looking for youuuuuu...” Yuu said as he dropped on the chair beside Jin.
“Found me!!” Jin said cheerfully.
“You guys are who?” Takako said, drinking another shot of tequila.
“Oi, Takako-kun! Don’t pretend that you don’t know us...” Pi said, putting his arms around her shoulder.
“Yamashita... “she’s looking at him.
“Coreectt!” Pi replied, getting the tequila bottle and pouring one for him.
“Ryo-chan...” she smiled, her eyes are almost closed due to too much dizziness.
“Whazzup!” Ryo said, he dropped his head on the bar.
“Yuu-kun...” she said.
“Heya!” he replied.
They all remained quiet for a while as they are all drunk and composing themselves. “I..I...need to go to the restroom...” Takako said and got up, she stumbled again but Pi got a hold of her before she can lose her balance completely. Her head is spinning like crazy, going up and down, her eyes are turning round and round and round. She tried to focus her gaze onto something in particular and it was then that she caught Jin staring at her.
Jin removed his gaze on her and grabbed the packet of cigarette in front of him. “I’m gonna buy some cigarette...” he said as the packet is empty. He stood up but he fell on Yuu, “Sorry...” he said as he tried to regain his balance.
“Wa..waiit...” Takako stopped him. “I’m coming with ya...” she lost hold of Pi and swayed her way to Jin.
“Gotcha!” he said as he placed his arms around her shoulders and made their way out of the bar, followed by the three guys.
They swayed across the hotel lobby, the whole surrounding is still full of life. Jin looked at Takako who is resting her head on his chest, her eyes are shut close. He suddenly stopped to look for the lift, causing Ryo to bump on him.
“Ooopss. Sorry...” he laughed, causing Takako’s eyes to open, she heard the guys laughed and she laugh along even if she doesn’t know why they are laughing. She looked around the big lobby and there are a lot of things going around, there’s a coffee shop, an entry to a casino, the bar that they just left, a club where the showgirls are dancing, a wedding chapel, everything is in this hotel.
“I want to play!” she got away from Jin’s arms and pulled out her cash from her purse.
“You will just lose all your money.” Jin reasoned out.
“But I want to have fun!!” she pouted. “I’m going to play.” she insisted as she moves her way to the casino. The boys all looked at her and laughed when she started swaying her way to the wedding chapel. Still laughing, Jin followed and caught up with her as he spins her around on her waist.
“Why do you want to play?” he asked, stopping her from walking.
“I want to lose all my money so that I wouldn’t be able to come back home.” she answered. “I don’t wanna go back because I will see him again...”
Jin rolled his eyes, “Why don’t we just make him jealous.”
“HAH?!” she asked, her eyes is funny, making Jin giggle.
“Let’s take a photo of us being lovey-dovey and sent it to his mobile...” Jin suggested.
Takako smiled and leaned forward to kiss him, “I miss your kisses, Akanishi!” she pulled out to breathe. Jin smiled, he moved closer to her and they kissed again, he doesn’t care if they are in the middle of the hotel lobby, he’s just craving for more. Suddenly, she stopped and looked straight in the place behind him.
“You really want to help me make him jealous?” she asked, a cheeky smile drew on her face.
Jin nodded and kissed her again, he didn’t mind his friends screaming from behind. “Jin! Get a room!!” they shouted.
“Marry me...” she said in between kisses.
“Sure...” he mumbled.
“Let’s go then.” she said, pulling away from the kiss, she took his hand and swayed their way to the wedding chapel, Pi, Ryo and Yuu followed, still laughing.
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^
“Okay, gather around guys!” Yuu ordered holding up a camera.
Takako grabbed Jin’s arms for support as her knees are getting weak already, “I gotcha.” he whispered, putting his hands around her waist. They all posed for the camera, with Jin and Takako in the middle.
“One, two, three, four, five.” Yuu counted.
“That’s too much! Just take the f*ucking picture!” Ryo yelled.
Yuu giggled seeing how Ryo is so irritated, “Okay, say cheese!” he said and a flashed blinded the four drunken people.
Takako looked at Jin, “You are my husband.” she grinned.
“And you are my wife...” he beamed as both of them burst out with laughter.
“You two should go to your room now before you guys can start making out in the lobby...” Pi laughed placing his arms around Jin’s shoulders for support.
“You should go to your room now before you can start sleeping in the lobby.” Jin said, removing Pi’s arms on him, Pi lost his balanced and fall on Yuu.
Jin faced Takako and reached in for a kiss, “I should take my wife now to my room...” he mumbled as he reached for her butt.
“Not in public, pervy husband!” she removed his hands from her butt.
“Okay, let’s go somewhere private.” he smiled naughtily. “I’ll be glad to carry you up to my room...but I think that we’ll both fall if I did that...” Jin said, feeling the alcohol in his head.
“No need for that...I can walk.” Takako took his hands and walked together towards the lift.
“You guys, sleep now!” he yelled at his friends who are left behind, laughing.
The lift opened and it’s empty, they walked their way in and started kissing again, Takako is trying to put a piece of paper into her purse but her hands are too weak to open it. The lift opened again and they went out, still occupied with each other as their lips are glued together.
Jin reached for his back pocket for the card key, “Stupid, card key!” he said as he search his wallet, Takako, started kissing his neck and grabbing his butt, Jin smiled, “If you want to make it in bed for our honeymoon, you better step back from me for a while or else we’ll be all over the corridor by morning.” he giggled, stealing a quick kiss from her. He slid the card on the door and a click was heard, he opened the door and grabbed Takako by her waist, he lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. Takako tossed her purse and that piece of paper on the table and started to get all over Jin.
“We’re married...” she mumbled, in between kisses.
“I know...husband and wife.” he replied, dropping her on the bed and getting on top of her.
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^
Takako woke up the next morning with a massive headache, she tried to move but the slightest movement makes her head spin. “What happened?” she said to herself as she puts her hand on her head. She searched around the place, obviously, it’s a hotel room, but this in not her hotel room. She sat up slowly and realized that she’s only in her underwear, she reached for the sheets to cover her body, all of a sudden she felt someone moved beside her, she peeked to see a man, she turned away fast. “What the heck? I had a one night stand?” she thought. “Oh my God, I’m screwed.” she said as she got out of the bed. She searched for her clothes and gets dressed. “What did you do, Takako?” she asked herself as she puts on her shoes and picked up her purse, she saw a paper lying beside it, she read the big words written on it.
CERTIFICATE OF MARRIAGE
“Oh gosh, please! Don’t tell me that it’s me...” she said, reaching for the paper and reading it.
Bride: Takako Uehara
“Holy smokes!!” she panicked, she noticed that something is in her finger, a ring pop candy. The candy is obviously been eaten already, only the plastic ring is left.
A loud knock on the door startled her.“AKANISHI!!” a voice from outside yelled, the mention of that name made her heart beat faster. “Are you there?!” he continued.
She slowly walked forward to the bed to see if the guy sleeping there is who she thinks he is. As she comes closer, she gently removed the sheets from his face, and to her surprise, it’s him. “OH NO! I’m so screwed!” she said shaking her head.
“Jin! Open the door!” the voice continued to yell from outside, she recognized that it’s Pi’s voice. Takako picks up the paper again to look for the groom’s name.
Groom: Jin Akanishi
She felt her hand tremble, “Just how much did I drink last night to lead into this mess?” she said to herself.
“Jin! Open the door! It’s urgent!” Pi continued to knock on the door.
Jin opened his eyes slowly and blinked a few times, he sat up on the bed and saw Takako standing by the coffee table.
“What the!” he was shocked to see her, he noticed that he’s only in his boxers so he pulled the sheets on his body.
“Jin! Open up!” Pi begged outside.
“What the hell! ...Takako?” he asked, confused.
“I...I... dunno.” she answered softly.
“AKANISHI! OPEN THIS F*CKING DOOR!!” Pi screamed.
Jin grumbled out of the bed and made his way to the door. He puts his arms around his chest to cover it as he passed by Takako.
Takako rolled her eyes. “Nice one, Akanishi. As if I have lust over your body!” she growled.
“What?” Jin opened the door and Pi walks in, he noticed Takako standing inside.
“You do know that you’re married, right? He said to Jin right away.
Jin laughs, “Nice joke, Yamashita! Seriously!” he tapped Pi’s shoulders and continues to laugh harder. He noticed that Pi’s face is serious so he stopped. “What do you mean I’m married?” he asked, puzzled.
Pi looked at Takako who’s obviously speechless, “You don’t know too, Takako-kun?” Pi asked.
“Don’t know what, Pi?” Jin raised his voice. “Takako?” he looked at her.
She couldn’t open her mouth to speak, instead, she gave him the piece of paper proving their marriage.
He read it and his face got darker every second. “What the hell is this?!” he said throwing the paper.
“We’re married...” she said, holding up her hand to show her ‘ring’.
Jin looked at his hand and a ‘ring’ was there too. “God Damnit!!” he yelled, removing the ‘ring’ and throwing it across the room. “Did I really marry you?” he asked in disbelief.
“It’s true, I saw the pictures...” Pi said.
“What pictures?!” Jin and Takako said in chorus.
“It’s been displayed on the wedding chapel downstairs.” Pi said softly.
“No, no, no, no... NO!!!” Takako burst out as her hand swept through her hair.
“This is not happening, Pi!” Jin shouted.
“I already asked them to remove the pictures, it’s with me now...” he tried to sound positive, but he fails.
“I could not be married, Yamashita!” Jin screamed and silence fills the place.
Ryo and Yuu entered the room, and Ryo’s voice disturbed the silence. “What the hell are you thinking last night, Akanishi?” he didn’t wait for Jin to answer and looked at Takako, “And you too!” he added.
Takako is lost, she wakes up one morning with her ex-boyfriend beside her and they are married, everything is too much for her to take.
“When Johnny-san finds out about this, you three will be dead.” Yuu said pointing to the three of them.
“Why are they dead too?” Jin asked.
“Because these idiots are the witness to your marriage!” Yuu snapped out.
“How do you know?” Jin asked again.
“I asked the priest downstairs and it’s in the paper, baka!” Yuu answered.
Jin didn’t even bother to look at the paper, looking at it makes his stomach sick.
“What are we gonna now?” he asked his friends and they all shrugged their shoulders.
Takako heard them talking but she couldn’t pick up their conversation, she’s too occupied by the situation. She’ll be dead too if her manager finds out, even worse when her bandmates and family finds out. She doesn’t know what to do as many thoughts are racing in her mind. She suddenly walks over to the door to go out.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Jin stopped her.
“Away.” she answered.
“Great! You’re always going away when problems came out leaving me to fix it alone!” he burst out.
“Don’t start with this, Jin.” she’s trying to stay calm, “Let me off for now...” she said walking on the corridor.
“AHHHHH!” Jin screamed following her, he grabbed her by the wrist. “Do not leave...not now.” he said, his voice is calmer.
“I don’t need someone to tell me what to do, just let go of me.” she said letting go of his grip as she pressed on the lift button.
“I just wanted to find some solutions!” he yelled.
“Solutions?” I’ll give you one!” she yelled back. “My lawyer will call you for the annulment!” she said and entered the lift leaving Jin stuck on his place.
