When We’re No Longer Here - Chapter 14 - Confrontation Of One To Another

“He said that ?” Yabu ask the younger boy as the 2 of them sit in front of the TV.

“Un. I didn’t know what he meant though.” Daiki nod.

“You know, I’ve been wondering about this, but I think that Yama-chan can see things inside his dreams.” Yabu state while averting his eyes toward the screen without really watching it. “I guess what he just told you has something to do with his dreams.”

“I thought so too.” Daiki agree with the older boy. “So what are you suppose us to do, Ko-chan ?”

“We’ll follow his words.” Yabu decide firmly.

Daiki just nod in approval. “We’ll need to tell the others if that’s the case then. Anyway, has Rui-san stopped by ?”

“Not yet, why ?” Yabu ask with a tint of worry in his voice.

“Ryosuke’s medicine is running out. We’ll need another one just in case.” Answered the boy.

“I see. I’ll call her then if she could come today.” Yabu said simply.

“I’ll go back to our bedroom then.” Daiki inform the other boy as he stand up.

“Dai-chan, when will you start schooling again ? You know you can’t stay here forever, ne ?” Yabu ask before the boy can move.

“I’m not sure. We need to talk about that with the others too.” Daiki reply uncertainly.

“I think so. We’ll talk about this again later then.” Yabu nod in agreement.

******************************************************************************************************************

“Am I doing the right thing ? Or am I just being a selfish brat who just ignored other’s opinions and just do what I thought must be done ?”

Ryosuke clutch his head in utter pain. While thinking about the whole problem they’re facing, he suddenly feel a pain in his head. But this time, the pain he feels is unexpectedly worse than the pain he used to have.

When he tries to crouch down from his bed to get his medicine inside the drawer, he lost his balance and fall hard to the ground. The sound made by the collision was definitely can be heard inside the whole house.

In less than a min, the rest of JUMP rush in just to watch Ryosuke sprawling on the floor, holding his head tightly.

“Ryosuke !” Daiki yell as he runs toward the boy. “What happened ?” He lifts the boy’s head to his lap.

“Head… hurts… medicine…” Ryosuke said quietly between his halting breath.

Daiki quickly open the drawer to get Ryosuke’s medicine and put it on the younger boy’s mouth and make him drink the water Takaki offered. As he gives the glass of water back to Takaki after Ryosuke gulped the water, he gasps in surprise to see blood oozing out from Ryosuke’s nose.

“Ryosuke ! You have a nosebleed !” At his words, the rest of JUMP turn their head toward the said boy and gasp.

“What happened ?” Keito ask to no one in particular.

Moving by instinct, Chinen run out of the room and return a few min later bringing a wet hand towel and 1 dry one. He rushed toward the other boys and wipe Ryosuke’s blood stained face with the wet towel. After that, he put the dry towel under the other boy’s nose to stop the bleeding.

“We should lay him back on the bed.” Chinen said calmly, resulting a few wide eyes from his bandmates.

“A-aa.” Daiki simply reply as he begins to lift the other boy’s body bridal style.

Takaki and Yabu are about to help him but frozen in their place as they watch Daiki easily pick the boy and put him on his bed.

“Is it me, or Dai-chan really has become stronger ?” Ryutaro ask in utter disbelief.

“Frankly, Ryosuke had become so much lighter. I don’t think that he’s any heavier than Chinen now.” Daiki reply in a rather desperate tone.

“If we’re in a whole different situation like now, I believe Yama-chan will cry in happiness for losing some weights.” Hikaru try to lift up the mood.

Keito make a sad smile. “Yeah. But we’re in this situation, and it’s me who feels like crying.”

“Yama-chan is strong. He’ll make it somehow.” Yuto commented sadly.

“Hey, you’ve started to talk about me again like I’m somewhere else, you know.” Suddenly, the boy on the bed speak up with a hoarse and slightly muffled voice. “But don’t worry, just like Yuto said, I’m strong. I’ll be fine.” He tries to assure the other boys.

“I hope so.”

Daiki smile while removing the towel from under Ryosuke’s nose. “It seemed that the bleeding has stop.”

“Yokatta ne.” Chinen said while beaming a smile.

“Why did you suddenly had a nosebleed ?” Takaki ask, a frown on his forehead.

“I don’t know.” Ryosuke shrug. “I just knew that somehow, the headache I had just now was much stronger than the previous ones.”

“Hontou desuka ?” Asked Inoo worriedly.

“Un.” Ryosuke nod. “But don’t worry, I’m fine now.”

“If you think so.” Inoo said shortly.

“Saa, I think you should rest. We’ll leave you then. Just call us if you need anything. I’ll be at the library.” Yabu tell the boy in a motherly tone.

Ryosuke make a small giggle weakly before commenting. “Hai, Yabumama.”

The other boys laugh softly at that, while Yabu himself is trying to hide his blush.

“So, rest well then.” Daiki cover the boy with a blanket.

“Dai-chan, it’s not that cold today, and it’s noon anyway. There’s no point of using a blanket.” Ryosuke pout at what the other boy’s doing.

“Yeah ? But I remember hearing from a certain girl to make sure that you sleep with a blanket on. Cold or not.” Daiki insist.

Ryosuke frown. “Rui told you so ?”

“Un. She came here when you and Chinen were sleeping at that first day we stayed here.” Daiki nod.

“Sou ka ? What else did she said ?” Ryosuke ask curiously.

Daiki, as well as the rest of JUMP- sans Chinen- tense up at this. “Uhm, nothing more. She just asked us to take care of you well.”

Ryosuke narrowed his eyes in suspicious. “There’s something you’re hiding from me.”

“There’s nothing we’re hiding from you !” Daiki try to convince the other boy.

“Yes, there is. I know it.” Ryosuke stick on his thought.

“There isn’t ! Now you better sleep !” Daiki try to avert the topic.

“I won’t sleep until you tell me what you’re hiding.” Ryosuke sat up and cross his arms in front of his chest. “I’m determined and nothing can stop me.”

The other boys begin to become more nervous. They don’t know whether to tell the boy or not.

“She told us about your detail condition.” Unexpectedly, the words are coming from none other than Chinen Yuri.

“Ha ?” Ryosuke stare at the younger boy in confusion.

“Chi ! Why did you said that ?” Yuto scold the boy. “Wait a minute, how did you know anyway ? I thought you were sleeping when Rui-san came !”

“I’m a psychic !” Exclaimed the squirrel happily, but the dangerous glints in his eyes showed them that Chinen is deadly serious.

Yuto just sweatdropped. He knows he can’t pry more if Chinen wouldn’t let him know. Faintly, he saw Ryutaro shift uncomfortably. Somehow, it gave him a clue.

“What do you mean by my detail condition ?” Ryosuke ask again.

“Well, she said it’s about the phases that you’ll get through under the drug effect.” Chinen shrug off.

“And ? What about those phases ?” Ryosuke pry.

Chinen heave a deep sigh. “It seems that you won’t stop easily, ne~”

“I learnt from you, remember ?” Ryosuke smirk knowingly.

“Saa, it can’t be helped then.” Chinen shrug once again before telling the other boy the whole story.

After 15 whole min, the room fell into a deafening silence.

“I see. So she said that to you.” Ryosuke avert his eyes toward the window on his right he came to fond of.

No one replying to his words as they only watch the boy staring outside the window longingly.

“Saa, it wasn’t that hard to tell me, ne ?” Ryosuke finally return his gaze toward the other boys with a warm smile on his lips.

“Yama-chan ? Daijoubu ka ?” Yuto ask him worriedly.

“Why won’t I ? You know, I’ve been expecting things like that to come. So, yeah. I guess I’ve been ready since a long time ago to accept that fact.” Ryosuke said lightly before he yawns. “I think, I should take a rest now. Don’t’ you have anything else to do ?”

“I think so.” Yabu said doubtfully.

“We shall leave then.” Chinen said calmly. “Rest well, Yama-chan !” He beams before walking out the room, followed by the others reluctantly.

Little did they know, that right after Yabu close the door, a single tear escape Ryosuke’s eyes. “I’ve expected this. But I think, to really face it was another thing.” He smiles ironically.

*******************************************************************************************************************

“Why did you tell him ?!” Takaki cornering the shortest member in JUMP with the rest of JUMP surround them.

“I have a reason.” Chinen reply coolly, Takaki’s anger didn’t even intimidate him.

“But he’s not ready to know it yet !” Takaki retort.

“Then when will he be ready ?” Chinen ask challengingly. “When his condition is worse ? When it’s too late to even warn him ? Don’t you think he’ll become more than just unready later ? With his condition and such, he won’t even survived the news !”

“But can’t you see his face ? He looked so, so desperate !” Takaki start yelling.

“Takaki, let’s just-“ Daiki try to stop the 2, but they didn’t seem to acknowledge his presence at all. And for Takaki to not acknowledging Daiki’s presence, is a sign that he’s really, really mad.

“He’s desperate because he felt betrayed ! How do you think he felt, knowing that he’d been left in the dark about himself ?” Chinen yell back at the older boy, ignoring the older boy’s death glare. “Ryosuke deserved to know everything concerning himself ! Don’t you think about his feeling if he knows this later from someone else ?”

“But think about his condition ! He was just having a headache ! And a severe one for God’s sake !” Takaki glare at him furiously.

“And don’t you think about his condition as well ? We all know that he’ll got a headache if he’s stressed ! And by obviously hiding things from him and make him wondering by himself won’t make his condition worse ? Do you think about that too ?” Chinen glare back with the same intensity.

“I…” Takaki was definitely taken aback by the boy’s exclamation. His anger dissipated by a bit.

“See ? And you dare told me to think about his condition ?” Chinen push the older boy away.

“ENOUGH !” Yabu shout at the two of them. “Ryosuke might hear you two ! What do you think he’ll feel then ?”

That simple sentences from the oldest boy are enough to shut the fighting couple.

“Takaki, you’re one of the oldest member here, you should’ve set a better example. Beside, Chinen got a point there. It doesn’t mean that I can accept your attitude for shouting back at Takaki, boy.” Yabu scold the couple fiercely. “Now, you two needed to be punished. You’ll be in charge for cleaning up the house for a week.”

“What ? But-“ Takaki try to protest.

“I have control while we’re inside this house because I’m the oldest one. So, no protesting Takaki.” Yabu said in a final tone. “Try to accept that and learn from your mistake. Now, dismiss. I’ll prepare lunch. Ikkou zo, Hikaru !”

“Yabumama is in action again. And why did he always pick a random person to accompany him in the kitchen ?” Hikaru groan.

“Learn to accept that, Hikaru-kun.” Ryutaro pat the older boy’s shoulder in a knowing face.

Hikaru heave a deep sigh before following Yabu toward the kitchen.
