Mayonaka no Himitsu
真夜中の秘密
Chapter 1
A party. Music blaring through the empty Tokyo streets, neon lights flashing inside the club, strangers packed into a tiny room, so close to one another, yet their voices were so far away. Drowned out by the heavy bass of the music, a new pop tune. Nakai was a regular at this club, inviting Shingo occasionally for a beer or two. Tonight they were here, beers in hand, flirting with the newest bartender, a girl with long black hair. She was full of mystery. Her blue eyes flashed as she passed another drink down the table for the two men. Nakai pulled out a cigarette, whistling to the girl for a lighter. She appeared, seemingly from the shadows, producing a lighter between her fingers, the click of the flame, a familiar sound.
~~~
The ticking of his watch stung her ears. His gentle hands stroking her black hair, a smirk appearing on his face before his lips touched her neck. No spot left untouched. Breathing in her scent, he could hardly believe this beautiful woman was in his bed almost every night. Kissing the tender spot behind the crease of her neck, he slipped two 50 yen coins in her hand. “You’ll get more once we finish.” His smug smile being the signal for her to take her position at the foot of his bed, her hair cascading down her back, Nakai couldn’t take much more. Swiftly, like a ghost, he appeared behind her, teeth grazing her earlobe. An almost inaudible gasp was all she could muster as his hands cupped her breasts, massaging them delicately, his thumbs tenderly brushing along her clothed nipples. This was only the beginning of their love affair.
The soft beeps of an oxygen machine filled her ear drums yet again. Slipping back into consciousness, her eyes darted to the pale face of her brother. His chest rising and falling with the rhythm of the machine.
“I promise I’ll be better by the time you reach college!”
She touched his hands. So cold, almost lifeless.
She couldn’t bear to tell him what she’d been doing in order to afford his increasing medical bills.
“My sister is going to be a doctor! Someday she’ll be able to find a cure for my illness.”
She groped her pockets for the 10,000 yen bill Nakai gave her that previous evening.
“This should keep him alive for at least another week. If you decide to disobey me again, you won’t see your beloved brother again.”
Her muffled sobs echoed through the room. She loved her brother Katsuyuki more than anything in the world. To think, this man, capable of doing anything, being stricken with an illness that can’t be cured. The only survival being the money, his money.
But why did she disobey this man?
The answer lies in an “acquaintance” of hers, Katori Shingo.
~~~
The night that they were flirting was just an innocent act. Innocent for her maybe, but for Shingo, not so much. Before they left the bar that night, too tipsy to walk to the door, Shingo slipped a piece of paper in Rui’s back pocket.
Pulling out that piece of paper now, she saw the drunken scribbles of his name and what appeared to be a telephone number. Unsure about this new revelation, she phoned Nakai, who invited her over to his apartment.
“This man is in the entertainment industry, a real stuck up.”
“So why are you involved with him?”
“He got me demoted, they said his talents far exceeded mine at his age. It’s simple. I want my revenge. A scandal should be enough to get him kicked out, right?”
“But…”
“But what? You’re going to help me. If you don’t, your precious brother is going to be the one to suffer. Remember that I hold the key to your brother’s life. Any slip up and he dies.”
Rui took out her cellphone and dialed the number on the crumpled piece of paper.
She wasn’t exactly sure what she was getting herself into.
She wasn’t sure if she was going to like it.
But her brother’s life was at stake.
A/N: I honestly didn't want to make Nakai the bad guy...but...yeah...
