Summary : "Because there is something you love more that her."
Ohayou!!” a laud cheerful greeting echoed as the door to Arashi’s greenroom is opened by their sunshine. Four heads turn in sync and each flashes a confused look to the tall guy who are still standing in front of the door. He took a few steps toward the couch and sit there casually, ignoring the looks given by his band mates.
“Ne Masaki, if I’m not mistaken, today is your day off right?” as he start rummaging his bag, Sho finally break the silence.
“Yeah, you keep talking about it since last week. I though you have plan or something.” Jun added.
“Oh, something comes up and the plan got cancelled. So I though I’ll just hang out here while memorizing this.” He said, holding up a script for his new stage play.
“Hmmmm…” Sho and Jun just hum their understanding and continue to do what they are doing. Today Arashi has no group activity, they are just here at the agency for individual job such as interviews and photoshoots. He let out a silence sigh, relieved to the fact that none of his friends ask for more questions. Of course he didn’t notice the concern look by the end of someone’s eyes as he though the guy is too adsorbed with his Gameboy.
He opened his script and start reading them quietly. In no time, he is totally immersed into it. Unlike his air-headed character he portrayed in front of the camera, he is actually a very serious person especially when it is related to his work. Without realizing the changes in his surrounding, morning has turned into afternoon and afternoon turned into evening. A soft caress on his cheek wakes him up from his nap. As he opened his eyes, a familiar face is facing him with a questioning eyes.
“What time is now?” he asked in a sleepy voice.
“Five in the evening. I was surprised that you are still here.” Said the latter, now taking sit beside him while packing his belongings into his sling bag, denoting that he is done for today.
“I dozed off, I guess.” He did the same with his belongings too. Silence.
“Hey, wanna have dinner? My treat…” he blinked his eyes while looking at his childhood friend slash best friend slash band mate.
“Wow, that’s rare!” he just earned a slap in the head with that comment.
“I won’t offer twice.” Ninomiya said while walking out. He laughed and followed the younger.
At the restaurant, they ordered a large set of hamburger set with French fries and coke. Even he did think about getting some alcohol, the tight schedule for tomorrow remind him not to follow his thought.
“So what’s wrong?” Ninomiya ask. He looked up with a shock face. Knowing him for so long, he should have known that his friend invite him for dinner earlier because he knows something is off. He let out a sigh.
“She left.”
“Ah…” silence.
“I wonder what I did wrong this time. I already did my best to clear my schedule once in a while for a private time. I think I paid attention to her. Maybe I didn’t give my best yet…” he mumble.
“You did well. Maybe she is not the one for you.”
“But I love her.”
“Then she is a fool to let you go.”
“I can’t live without her.”
“You are living now.”
“Ahhhh…I’m a mess.” He cupped his own face. His voice is breaking and there’s a tear threating to fall.
“Yes you are. And not for long. Tomorrow you will face the camera and be cheerful again.”
“How do you know?”
“Because there is something you love more that her.”
“What?” he lift his head, eyes full of confusion.
“Arashi.” The other said, confidently. A smile start to curve in the edge of his lips.
“Well, that is true.” He said. With the thought of his fans ; their fans, his confidence flowing back through his vein.
