Notes: Ermm, I dunno if I should rated this but so far it is still safe for minors...haha...and this story kinda inspired by Refrain but I hope that I won't have much problem updating this story. I always start a fanfiction but in the end can;t continue due to idea blockage. Anyway, comments are loved and any improvement needed, please do tell me.
Chapter 1
“Tadaima~” Jun said while entering his apartment. From the entryway, he takes a quick look around the apartment that filled with darkness. He sigh and feel stupid from saying that he is back to no one while knowing that nobody gonna say welcome back or okaeri to him. He took off his shoe and flipped the light switch. Immediately the apartment fills with lights.
At the living room, Jun take off his coat and put his briefcase on the coffee table. He heads to the kitchen and take a can of beer from the fridge. While sipping the beer, he unbutton his shirt while heading towards his room. After a quick shower, wearing only a pajama pants, he lay down on his bed and take a quick glance towards the alarm clock. It is already 3AM and luckily, he don’t have any work tomorrow.
Beside the alarm clock, there a picture that he keep for so long. A picture of him and certain someone that he want to meet again. A certain someone who sacrifices a lot for him and he missed so much. He takes the picture frame and stares at it. He hummed a song, their memory song, the song that she loves and the song that he sang for her one night. He slowly sings.
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine,
You make me happy,
While skies are gray.
A single tear fall from his eyes and he hugged the frame
.
“Ne, I want to see you,” Jun whispered. He kissed the picture and put it back on the side table. He smiles and fall asleep dreaming of her.

Matsumoto Jun : 10 years old
Yamamoto Satomi : 7 years old
The doorbell rang and 10 years old Matsumoto Jun heard his mother open the door. He heard a few conversation happening and then his mother calls for him. He gets up and headed to the front door.
“Jun, greet the new neighbor. This is Yamamoto Ayaka and her daughter, Satomi-chan. Yamamoto-san, this is my youngest child, Jun” his mother introduces him. He bows down a little and smiles at the new neighbor but he can’t see anyone else except the woman standing beside his mother.
“Hajimemashite Jun-kun,” the woman smiles at him.
”Satomi, greets Jun-onii-chan,” she said while pulling someone from behind. Hiding behind Ayaka’s skirt is a little girl wearing a strawberry printed dress with pigtails. She bow quickly and shyly glance at him.
“Please do come in,” his mother inviting Ayaka and Satomi inside. They take off their shoe and headed inside. Jun feels that he no longer needed there, he headed to the livingroom and continue reading the book that his father buys for him. After a while focusing on reading, he feels like someone staring at him and look at his right. Satomi is seating beside him while staring at him and then take a look at his book.
“What?” Jun asked. Satomi shakes her head a little bit and look a bit scared. Jun sighs and gives her the book because he is assuming that Satomi want to read it. She takes it slowly and opens it so carefully. After a while, she looks at him again with a smile. A smile that makes his heart melts.
“Sun,” Satomi said while pointing at the drawing. Jun nods his head a bit and in his mind, a thought came up
Yes, like your smile, a sun in my life
Since then, Satomi and he become friends. Due to her parents always busy with work, sometimes his mother takes care of Satomi and they always play together.
“Onii-chan, read it for me?” Satomi asked him while pointing at one of his story books. This is one of many nights that require for his mother to take care of Satomi. He nods his head and read for Satomi. He loves reading for Satomi. She always in awe whenever he read for her and clapping with her tiny hand after he finish reading for her but today, before he even finish reading, she fall asleep beside him. As he stared at his sleeping face, he slowly bend towards her and kissed her forehead. He smiles as he succeeds in doing it.
Forever, I will protect my sunshine forever.

Present Day:
Jun wakes up when the sun shining through his bedroom window and hits his eyes. He stretches a little and stares at the ceiling wondering what he should do today. Looking around the room, he decided to tidy up the house a bit. It seems it was a bit cluttered because lately he has been busy with work and didn’t have a time to clean it up. He immediately gets up, takes a shower, eat some bread for breakfast and starts to clean.When he busy moping the floor, his telephone rings.
“Moshi moshi, ah Nino, what’s the matter?” Jun answered the phone.
“Nothing much, it just that it seems such a long time since we have a day off and I dunno what to do with it,” Nino answered back. Jun laugh a bit and he heard that Nino also laugh at his own jokes.
“What are you doing?” Nino asked.
“Cleaning the house. It’s a bit dusty,” Jun answered. He mopped the floor while placing the phone in between his ear and shoulder. He put the mop inside the bucket and bring the bucket to the bathroom.
“Such an entertaining way to spend a day off,” Nino said with a bit of sarcasm. Jun shakes his head at Nino’s antic.
“Wanna grab lunch?” Jun asked while looking at the clock. He was wondering if he should invite the others too. He heard Nino talking to someone and after a while he answered.
“Sure. Aiba -chan and Oh-chan wanna follow too. Can you call Sho-chan and asked him if he wanna join?” Nino said. After a few plans on where to eat and meet, they hung up. Jun immediately called Sho and asked him if he wanna join and it seems that today, all Arashi will be having lunch together.
After a quick drive, Jun arrive at the family restaurant that they always go and they love this place due to its environment and they have a table at the secluded area. After a quick greet to the worker, he headed to the table that located at the far back of the restaurant. Ohno, Aiba and Nino already arrive and was talking about something, He take a seat and look around.
“Sho is not here yet?” Jun asked.
“He is in the bathroom,” Aiba replied. As in cue, Sho gets out from the bathroom and take a seat beside Jun.
“It is kinda sad when we have a day off and all of us don’t know what to do,” Sho said while shaking his head.
“Jun-kun cleans his apartment. He knows what to do,” Nino said jokingly. As in reflex, Jun smack Nino’s head. They laugh a bit.
“I know! All I did today is my laundry because I have a lot. When you have a day off, all of the sudden you want to clean ne,” Aiba said while sipping his milkshake. Jun nods his head.
“I don’t have to clean, Kaachan did all that,” Ohno said, proudly. Everyone stared at him as if he has another head growing on him.
“And I always wonder why he was the older one,” Nino said while petting Ohno’s head. Ohno just smiles and munching on his fries.
“Let’s play dart!” all of the sudden Aiba suggesting. Sho and Nino agree while Jun wants to continue sitting. When he eats his hamburger, he notices that Ohno stares at him.
“What is it, Leader?” Jun asked while wiping his hand with tissues.
“Have you heard news about her?” Ohno asked.
“Her? Who?” Jun asked again. Even though he knew who is Ohno mentioning but he choose to play ignorant.
“Satomi-chan,” Ohno said. Ohno stares at Jun’s face for any reaction when he mention the name and he know, it still hurt whenever he mentioning about Satomi. If he can turn back time, he will do anything to make Jun and Satomi happy but both of them are too secretive. They always were thinking about others instead of themselves.
“Nope but kaachan once mention something about she works at some art gallery at New York,” Jun said while shrugging his shoulder. He acts as if the name didn’t hurt him and try to appear as if he don’t care but the look on Ohno’s eyes shows that he failed to do so or it is just maybe that Ohno can read him better.
“Don’t you contact her?” Ohno asked. Jun shakes his head while dipping his fries on the sauce and munches on it.
“She might be busy plus I don’t want to bother her. She has a lot to do and she is busy with her work,” Jun said. Even in his head he knows that everything he said sounded like excuses.
“Jun…I know that both of you decided it was better to…you know…for Arashi and all but don’t you think that Sa…” Ohno said but cut halfway when he notices that Aiba, Sho and Nino headed back to the table.
“What you guys talking about?” Nino asked when he sits on the chair.
“Nothing, we were talking about how the burger on Jun’s hand looks so much like your hand,” Ohno said while smiling at Nino. Nino tilts his head and then stares at the hamburger currently on the plate. As a joke, he compares his hand with the burger.
“Ah, hontou da~” Nino said and all of them laugh. For a few hours all they did is talking about random stuff. Jun glance at his
wristwatch and notices that it is late. He has planned to go back to his parents’ house.
“Ne, I got to go. I’m gonna headed to my parents’ house for dinner,” Jun said while picking up his bag. They bid farewell and Jun leave the rest of Arashi in the restaurant. Jun get on his car and drove away. While driving, he suddenly reminded about Satomi. He takes out his phone and takes a look at the picture of her that he has.
It is one of the pictures of her when she graduated from highschool wearing her uniform with the diploma on her hand. She smiles so proudly and poses when he snapped the picture. Unfortunately, it was taken in his bedroom because he can’t go to her graduation ceremony. He closed his eyes when he feels that he gonna cry and throw his phone on the passenger seat. The light went green and he continues driving.
“Kaachan, I’m about to arrive at home. You wanna grab dinner outside?” Jun asked his mother on the phone. He carefully drives toward the small alley that near to his parents’ house. After a few comments from his mother, they hang up. It seems that his mother decided to cook dinner because it has been such a long time since he come back home.
“Tadaima~” Jun said while opening the front door.
“Kaachan?” Jun called.
“In the kitchen!” he heard his mother calls for him. He heads to the kitchen and what he saw shock him. There she was, his sunshine, the one he miss the most, standing in the kitchen with her mother. The way his mother holds her shoulder as if to prevent her from getting away.
“Satomi-chan,” he said. His eyes can’t stopped looking at her and the way he see it, so is she. He could see that she was nervous standing in front of him. After a while, she looks straight into his eyes and smiles.
“Okaeri, onii-chan,” Satomi said.
