"Baby! Wake up." Aya tugged on Ryo's shirt. It was 6 in the morning and their alarm just went off.
"5 more minutes please..." Ryo said as he grabbed a pillow and covered his face with it.
"Your time is precious. You can't let 5 minutes pass by. Get up!" Aya pulled the pillow from Ryo's face and opened the curtains to let the sunshine in.
Ryo slowly sat up his eyes still half open.
"What are you, my mother?" Ryo asked as he tried to adjust his vision.
"No baby, i'm your girlfriend who doesn't want you to be late for work." Aya said
"Work?"
"Yes honey. You have work today. Didn't you tell me last night that you have a meeting with JE again?"
As soon as he heard the word JE, Ryo jumped out of the bed and ran to the bathroom to take a bath. How can he forget that today is his second meeting with Tatsuya?
He got out of the bathroom after a few minutes and grabbed a shirt and pants on his closet. Aya watched as his boyfriend ran in and out of their room.
"Hey! Slow down...It's not the end of the world honey."
"I have a meeting. I can't be late."
"Ha! You wouldn't even wake up this morning and Ryo, your meetings at 8. it's only 7 and the office is just a block away." Aya reminded him.
"I need to do something at the office before the meeting starts." Ryo said
"And what would that be?"
"Stuff."
"What kind of stuff?"
"Work related stuff.”
Aya raised an eyebrow.
"I need to go." Ryo said trying to avoid the conversation. All he wants now is to get out of their apartment.
"You're forgetting something baby...." Aya said
"What? I’ll eat breakfast at the office." Ryo said
"What? Breakfast? Sheesh... What I was referring to was my good bye kiss." Aya said.
"Oh! Yeah... Right...”
Ryo walked back to Aya. The girl was anticipating a kiss on the lips but what she got was a peck on the cheek. After that, Ryo walked out of the apartment.
"Does he really look at me as his mother?" Aya asked herself when Ryo was gone.

Yamapi,Jin,Kame and Tatsuya were all in one car and as usual, Yamapi was driving.
"This is our second meeting with them. Can anyone tell me why we have to do this?" Yamapi asked
"It's because they're our partners, Pi. We need to communicate." Kame said
"Can't they just talk with Johnny? Why do we have to come? They can just send the song to us and then we'll sing it. End of story. No need for these meetings."
"As the singers, we need to tell the writers if we feel the song." Jin said
"Feel? You've got to be kidding me."
While his friends were talking, Tatsuya just sat in the passenger’s seat staring outside his window.
"Are you okay?" Yamapi asked
"Yeah. I'm good."
"We're meeting him again." Yamapi said
"I know. I'm okay with it. We’ve talked things through. I decided to be civil with him."
Yamapi looked at him worriedly.
"Pi, I'm fine. Ryo and I are okay." Tatsuya assured him.
The four of the arrived at the T&T office and was lead to Ryo's room. Inside were Nakamaru and Koki.
"Hey! Good Morning!" Nakamaru greeted as the four of them entered. Ryo and Koki stood up to greet them as well.
"Good Morning! Nice to see you again." Kame said.
They were lead to a sofa and were told to make themselves feel comfortable.
"Ok, we know that there's no theme for the rock song but do you guys have anything in mind?" Koki asked
"Uhmmm... Not really. It's up to you on what you want to write. We'll just sing." Jin said
"Well, if ever you don't like the one we made, you can always tell us so that we can make changes." Koki said and they agreed.
"Now, for the ballad song...As we've said the other day, it's our first time to write one. All our compositions have been Pop and Rock. Well, in my case and Koki's too. We really don't know if we can write a ballad especially with a theme as specific as that so, the song will be purely written by Ryo."Nakamaru said
Everyone looked at Ryo when Nakamaru said this.
"So, you mean the two of you won't have anything to do with the song?" Jin asked
"Yep. It will be Ryo's solo project." Koki said.
"Oh...Okay..."
"So I would just like to tell you that if ever you have any suggestions on the song, just tell him." Nakamaru said
Everybody agreed.
"Okay then... That's settled." Nakamaru said as he stood up.
"Thank You for your work!" Kame said
"Thank you too." Nakamaru replied.
"I guess we'll go ahead." Jin said to them
Before they can walk away, Ryo called Yamapi.
"What?" Yamapi asked Ryo.
"Do you mind if I ask Tatsuya out for lunch?" Ryo asked Yamapi
"We will have lunch on our own. Thank You." Yamapi said.
"Pi..." Kame said
"What?"
"Let Tatsuya go. We can have lunch by ourselves."
"What?"
"You can manage, right Tat-chan?" Kame asked
Surprised with the question, Tatsuya nodded.
"See. Come on. Jin will treat us." Kame said.
Yamapi looked at Tatsuya and waited for his reaction.
"So, can I take him?" Ryo asked again.
"Why are you asking me? Go and ask him." Yamapi said
"Well, you act like his mother." Ryo said
"What did you--"
"Tatsuya, will you have lunch with me?" Ryo asked
Yamapi prayed for Tatsuya to decline.
"Uhmmmm...Sure." Tatsuya said which made Yamapi frown.
"Great! Heard him?" Ryo asked Yamapi.
"Yes. I heard him."
"Come on Tat-chan, let’s get you bag so you can join Nishikido." Kame said.
"You can meet him at the lobby." Jin said as he followed Kame and Tatsuya out of the office
When they were left alone, Yamapi glared at Ryo.
"He agreed. You can't argue with that." Ryo said.
"I know and I respect his decision but if I hear a single news about you upsetting him, I won't hesitate to hurt you." Yamapi said
"Who told you I'll hurt him?" Ryo asked
"You hurt him before. What would make me think you won't do it again?" Yamapi said
"Just a reminder Yamashita, you were the reason why I hurt him. You're the main reason why were like this now."
Before Yamapi can answer back, his phone rang. It was Kame. The other was asking him to go down since the car keys are with him. When he hanged up, he glared at Ryo again then walked out.
When Ryo went down, Tatsuya was already waiting for him at the lobby.
"Thank you for accepting my invitation" Ryo said
Tatsuya just nodded and followed Ryo out.
They ate at a Shabu Shabu Restaurant. Tatsuya remembered how excited Ryo looked whenever hee heard the word "shabu-shabu" when they were little. Ryo's eyes would literally light up and he would eat almost half of the pot.
Tatsuya watched as Ryo eats. He looked like a kid gulping down the food and digging into the pot. Tatsuya cannot help but smile. As usual, he was eating gracefully and took his time in getting seconds.
When Ryo was about to get more servings, he burnt his fingers with the pot. He accidentally let go of the bowl of was holding and it shattered on the table. Tatsuya watched as the bowl's content spilled.
"Aw~"
Tatsuya heard Ryo and with his instincts, he grabbed Ryo's hand to see what was wrong. His index finger was bleeding.
"I'm fine." Ryo said as he pulled his hand away from Tatsuya.
"You're bleeding. You cut yourself from the bowl" Tatsuya said.
"I can handle it."
"No, let me see it." Tatsuya said as he grabbed Ryo's hand to inspect his wound.
He let go of the hand and reached for his bag. He got his alcohol and tissue and wiped the wound. Ryo winced when the alcohol came in contact with his wound. Tatsuya then got a band aid from his bag and placed it over the wound.
"Wow! What are you, a walking clinic?" Ryo asked
"You never know when something stupid like this happens" Tatsuya said.
The two of them laughed at what they have just said but then, Tatsuya stopped
"What's the matter? Did I say something wrong?" Ryo asked.
Tatsuya shook his head.
"Then what is it?"
"It's just... I can't believe we're together like this. I still can't believe you’re talking to me again. I can't believe I'm seeing you laugh."
"Why? Haven't you seen me laugh when we were in high school?"
"You never laughed or smiled. All you did was frown and furrow."
"Tatsuya..."
"It seems like you’re a different person. No, I mean, it seems like you've come back to your old self. The Ryo who used to be my best friend."
"I am that person again. Whoever it is that hurt you is gone." Ryo said
Tatsuya just laughed at what Ryo said.
"But what that Ryo did can never be erased." Tatsuya whispered to himself.
******
Yamapi sat at his apartment thinking. He can't help but feel worried because Tatsuya is alone with Ryo. He remembered what Ryo said earlier.That he was the reason why all of this is happening. Since the day he asked Tatsuya for forgiveness, this is the first time he was reminded that he was the reason for all of this. After being friends with Tatsuya, all the blame went to Ryo. Ryo was the one who hurt Tatsuya and he is the one who's protecting Tatsuya. With Ryo's words, everything came back to him. Ryo was right, he is the reason for all of this and no matter how much he protects Tatsuya, that won't change. He is the very reason Tatsuya and Ryo broke apart.
Yamapi took his cellphone and dialled a number.
"Hello? Nishikido? It's Yamashita. Let's meet tonight." Yamapi said.
