Prologue1st WEEK :
Sakuraiba 2nd WEEK :
Ohno Ohmiya Jun It was weird for Masaki because he didn’t live with Sho that week. Sho couldn’t cook, couldn’t clean the room and couldn’t do anything to help him in the house. But Jun was different, he cooked for Masaki, he cleaned the room, he did everything that Sho couldn’t. But he knew perfectly well that he missed his husband. Although he was really stubborn with the divorce, he knew that he still loves his husband and doesn’t have any idea how he would continue his life without him. Even though Sho was strict, easy to get jealous, he loved Masaki so much until he couldn’t understand the reason why Sho loves him that much. He was nothing more than a wife who couldn’t give him a child.
“Masaki, dinner’s ready.” someone called him from the kitchen. Masaki walked past the living room of Nino and Ohno’s apartment towards the kitchen.
Jun was sitting at the dining table and smiled to him. Masaki replied with a smile as well and his eyes widened when he saw the full menu for dinner. “Wow! You made all of this?”
Jun nodded. “Yes, let’s eat.”
Masaki sat fast on the chair and took his chopsticks readily, “Itadakimasu~~”
Jun smiled. “Itadakimasu,” he said as well and they started to eat in silence. Sometimes Masaki would mumble happily about how delicious the food was.
“Thanks for the meal,” Masaki said as he placed his chopsticks above his bowl. “It`s delicious Jun-kun! You’re a genius!”
Jun laughed in response, “I can`t beat you of course.”
Masaki stroke his stomach and shook his head, “This was definitely better. Can I ask for the recipe? Sho-chan will like it…he likes th--” Masaki stopped immediately when he realized he just talked about his husband excitedly.
Jun noticed it, “It`s okay to talk about your husband. We have no rules against that.”
“That’s just because I don’t want to talk about him,” he answered and really wanted to move on from this topic already.
Jun smiled, “You actually want to talk about him, you’re just afraid you`ll change your mind if you did.”
“Change my mind? About what?” he asked Jun.
“Divorce,” he answered shortly.
“Am I on a therapy session at the moment?” he asked.
Jun shrugged, “No, if you don’t want to.”
Masaki pouted his lips, “No, I really don’t want to.”
Jun glanced at his watch, “I need to go out for a while, buy some stuff, you want to go with me?” he asked.
Masaki gave it a thought, he didn’t have anything to do and he would keep thinking about Sho if he stayed alone so he decided he would go with Jun. He nodded, “Yes, I’ll go with you.”
“Let’s go then,” he wears his jacket and lead the way to the front door. Masaki followed him from behind and was startled when he saw his and Sho’s door open as well. Sho opened the door and laughed loudly. Masaki`s eyes narrowed, he haven’t seen Sho laugh like that lately although he knew that it was partly his own fault. Sho’s laughter immediately stopped when he saw Masaki and his expression changed to being sad again.
“Sakurai-san,” Jun greeted him. Sho ignored him and kept looking at Masaki.
He laughed because of Nino’s joke? Was it that funny? Masaki pouted his lips and held onto Jun’s arm. “Let’s go Jun-kun,” he said as he pulled Jun to the lift. But unluckily, Sho walked to the lift as well and stared at Jun’s figure with a burning gaze.
“You’re going somewhere?” Sho asked.
“Yes, supermarket,” Jun answered. “How about you?” he asked back.
“Kazu has plans of drinking like crazy tonight, so I’m going to buy some beer.” he answered.
Kazu?? Oh, so now Ninomiya changed into Kazu? Masaki pulled Jun along when the doors opened and tried to ignore his feelings.
“Want to join us?” Sho asked both of them. “We can call Ohno-san as well.”
“What do you think Masaki?” Jun asked him and noticed Sho glaring at him, although he ignored Masaki’s husband.
“We don’t need to disturb their fun, right? Let`s have our own party,” he answered.
Sho knew Masaki’s behavior when he gets drunk and he thought that it wasn’t a good idea to let his wife drink with another guy. “You can’t drink Masaki,” he reminded.
Masaki glared at him, “Of course I can!” and at the same time the elevator door opened and showed the lobby to them. Sho walked out but Masaki held Jun back.
“Let`s go to another supermarket Jun-kun,” and he closed the door immediately before Sho could say anything.

“Ahhh…tired…” Masaki leaned back against the sofa as he drinks his cola.
“I`m sorry, you shouldn’t have come along,” Jun sat besides him.
Masaki hit his shoulder playfully, “I was the one who wanted to go with you,” and he laughed.
“But because of that you met your husband, you didn’t want to see him right?” he asked again.
Masaki’s laughter stopped immediately. “It’s not like I don’t want to see him, in fact I miss him.” He took a deep breath, “But if we keep meeting, it’ll be hard for him to accept the divorce and for me as well.”
“For you as well? Someone pushed you to have a divorce?” he asked immediately, catching what Masaki said fast.
Masaki`s expression changed. He realized that he told this guy too much about himself or his feelings for his husband. “Not really.”
“Who?” Jun definitely wasn’t buying his lie.
“No one,” he answered fast.
Jun stared into his eyes, “Although I don’t have any connection to your problem with your husband, I…” he paused for a while. “Just don’t leave him if you still love him. You’ll regret it and I really don’t want that to happen.”
“And what if I’m just a useless person for him? I still can`t leave him?” he asked Jun, feeling irritated because he talked like he knew everything about him.
“Did he say that to you?” he asked and waited for an answer then Masaki shook his head. “Then you aren’t useless to him. If there’s a problem between you two, you can still solve it together.”
“We can’t do that anymore,” Masaki said it with finality in his voice.
“Listen Masaki, maybe I don’t know the exact problem but love isn’t about how useful you are to a person. Of course it’ll be great if you`re helpful to him but love isn’t always about that. It’s about how you stay with him whenever he needs you even if he doesn’t need anyone. It’s when you want to be together with him despite all the difficulties you’re facing. That’s love, Masaki.” He caressed Masaki`s hair like he was 7 years old. Masaki felt warm and comfortable with this action. “Think about it again.”
He nodded obediently. “Yes, maybe I will talk to Sho again.”
Jun smiled at him, “That’s better.”
Jun wasn’t surprised when he found Masaki using the kitchen early in the morning. When he asked what the other man made, Masaki just replied with a smile, a bright one, so he knew the answer already. Sho. When he offered to help, Masaki said he wanted to finish it alone.
“I don’t think Nino would wake up early but Sho always needs his breakfast,” Masaki told him. Jun just nodded and waited for him in the dining room. “And I made one for you too Jun-kun. Of course not as good as your cooking.”
Jun chuckled, “It`s fine by me. Now, you just need to give it to him,” he encouraged the other man. Masaki nodded and walked to the door. He nodded his head before he opened it. He brought a plate of fried rice for Sho, he still have the spare key of their apartment so he thought of giving Sho a surprise. He opened the door and walked to the living room slowly.
But he found something weird, the guest room was open and empty. He walked slowly to his and Sho’s room and was startled when he stepped onto something. He looked at it and saw that it was a t-shirt. Sho’s t-shirt. The shirt he wore yesterday when he went out to the supermarket. Masaki placed the plate on the floor and could see clothes scattered on the floor to his room. He walked slowly, trying to erase all negative thoughts and opened the bedroom door. He bit his lips hard, trying not to scream or cry when he saw his husband hugging Nino on the bed, both naked.
He closed his eyes and ran back to Nino`s apartment. He opened the door slowly and Jun stood up not far away from the front door. He smiled when Masaki stepped in. “How was it? Did he like it?” he asked.
Masaki ran and hugged him, tears streaming down his face. “It’s over,” he said as he was hugging Jun.
