CHAPTER SUMMARY : As expected Kamenashi was chosen to join Jin's concert tour as one of this back up dancers. Koki was being overly protective over Kame trying to save him from Yamapi who had fall head-over-heel.
A/N: I kinda miss Pikame... It was my first pairing... Will be looking for more fic on them...
Kame and the other candidates line up on the stage waiting for the result. He felt nervous and kinda wobbly inside. He knew he had given all he got in his audition performance, but somehow results announcement always make his stomach crunch.
This will be his first attempt in the entertainment industry. Sure he had performed numerous times before, but mostly for theaters. The crowd, stage set up and even the skill required were different. He never thought he’ll be trying for other industry at all. But he knew this is the only way he can prove himself.
“Hey, nice performance just now” the tall guy next to him leaned down a bit to speak to him.
“Thanks. You did well yourself” Kame replied with courtesy even though he did not remember at all the other guy performance.
“So have you ever seen Jin Akanishi concert show?” the guy asked looking straight at the panel who was busy discussing.
Kame shook his head and feeling slightly guilty “No” he answered shortly. “But I heard he’s very good”
The guy nodded “You could say he’s among the best. Obviously Johnny’s favorite. I guess he got the looks as well.”
Kame turned to observe the Idol in question noticing the flawless feature, his slender hands and glowing skin. He admitted that Jin obviously got the Idol looks, but he wonder whether Jin got the talent to match it.
Then his gazed fall slightly behind the panel discussion area and saw few familiar faces. Koki who noticed Kame was looking at their area raised his hand and waved which Kame simply replied with a nod.
“You know Jin’s dancer?” the guy next to him asked as he noticed the unexpected scene.
“Two of them actually. The gangster looking guy and that pretty one next to him. They were my dance academy senpai” he answered casually. “But don’t mention to Ueda his pretty or he’ll smack you really hard. Such a delicate matter.”
“Eh?! They are from Julliard as well?” he asked in shock.
“Oh no… I met Koki and Ueda here in Japan. I did my first semester in J-One Dance Academy before I went to Julliard” Kame explained earnestly. He was never good with faces or name but he knew Koki and Ueda well enough to remember them.
Back in the first semester, all the juniors were assigned to a senpai right in the first week of orientation. Koki was his senpai while Ueda was Koki’s roommate.
Kame still remembered his first encounter with Koki. He was asked to perform a hip hop dance right in the main hall before Koki accept him to be his kohai. He never did any hip hop dance before, but knowing he’s good at imitating, he asked Koki to do a demo. Koki was pissed and thought he was being a smart ass, therefore he showed Kame one of his best dance move. Little did he know that Kame has a special ability to absorb almost any dance. Kame observed Koki intensely while the crowd had already begun gathering around them. Then when Koki finished, he challenge Kame to step it up which Kame did and amazed everyone especially his new senpai.
Then suddenly Kame was snapped from his memory lane by one of the panel “First and foremost, we would like to thank every single one of you for such great performance. The levels of talents being showed were unexpectedly wonderful” the choreographer spoke carefully. “Really wish we could choose more than one person but unfortunately for this concert, only one of you will be chosen. But we assure you, we will definitely look out your profile for any upcoming show. For today audition, the panel have been unanimously pick…”
“Kame-chan!!!” the guy sitting at the far back of the hall suddenly shouted. The guy next to him pulled him down and smacked his head. The tense atmosphere few second ago seem to simmer.
“Wow, you got a fan already” the tall guy teased. “By the way, he’s an idol as well.”
“Eh?!” Kame was a bit stunned.
“Well, it seems Yamapi got it right. It is Kamenashi Kazuya” the choreographer announced. Everyone cheered and congratulated him before they adjourned to the back stage.
Kame was still standing at the same spot feeling excited and overwhelm when the tall guy suddenly asked “Ano, do you mind if we change phone number”
Kame looked at the guy and smiled sincerely “Sure.” But before he could give it out, Koki stormed onto the stage and cling over his shoulder. The poor guy just nodded and step away.
“Omedetou Kame-chan” Koki pulled Kame off the stage and headed towards the other dancers. “Ne Kame-chan, I guess you still can’t say no to random people asking for you number”
Kame let out a hearty laughter “But I have you now to protect me.”
“Ah, still an irresistible flirt isn’t you?” Koki tugged Kame closer and practically dragged him toward the rest.
AS they reached the team, Kame gave a slight bow to everyone “Senpai, I’m Kamenashi.”
Maru held his hand out “I’m Maru and this is Junno” he introduced himself and the vacant looking guy next to him.
Then Ueda stepped forward and snatched Kame from Koki “Stop hogging Kame-chan”
Kame laughed “Still so feisty aren’t you Ueda senpai.”
“Come let’s bring Kame-chan to our studio. We can introduce him to the rest” Maru announced.
“Ano, don’t I need to introduce myself to Akanishi-kun first?” Kame looked around.
Then Koki patted his head “I’m sure you are excited to see him aren’t you?” Koki teased. “Not to worry. We’ll meet him soon.”
All of them walked out from the hall animatedly in conversation. But unexpectedly someone else was waiting for Kame.
“Hello there” greets the random guy who cheered for him just now. He was leaning on the wall with his hand crossed his chest looking like a godamn prince. He slowly approached Kame “Hi, I’m waiting for you Kamenashi-kun.”
Kame suddenly felt his stomach crunch again “Haik.” Then Kame noticed the other guy next to the price was stabbing daggers through his glares.
Then to everyone bewilderment, the prince pulled him into his embraced “I’m Yamapi. Nice to meet you”
In that instant Koki and the intense looking guy pulled Kame and Yamapi away from each other.
“Ryo, what are you doing?” the prince whined.
“Saving your ass from total embarrassment!” Ryo answered.
“But this is what happened when you are in love” Yamapi explained. Everyone was so dumbfounded by now. He managed to wiggled himself and step forward towards Kame.
But Koki was standing in between them refusing to step aside. “Pi, what do you want?”
The prince ignored Koki “Ne Kame-chan” he’s already using the nick name. “Can I have your phone number?”
Kame was stunned but he managed to gather his courage and nudged Koki to the side. “Gomene senpai, I don’t give my number to random people. Especially to those I just met.”
“But I’m not a random guy. We already met in our pass life” he answered so confidently Kame can’t help it but blushed a bit.
“Ahh. But in this life, I just met you” Kame answered as polite as he could.
“Then how am I supposed to ask you on a date if you don’t give me your number?” Yamapi move another step forward.
“Gomene senpai, I don’t date those who are prettier than me” Kame smiled seductively.
And as if on repeat mode, Yamapi pulled Kame into his arms and seconds later Koki and Ryo pulled them apart again.
The difference this time is Akanishi Jin suddenly appeared “What’s going on?” he asked, looking at each of them expecting an answer.
Kame noticed the atmosphere changed again. Everyone turned their attention to Akanishi Jin and bowed slightly.
“Kamenashi-kun, I’ll see you in the dance studio later.” He instructed.
Kame nodded obediently realizing that was his first encounter with the great Akanishi Jin. He suddenly felt nervous all over again.
As Koki and the rest lead him the way, he noticed Yamapi was pouting profusely which Kame thought was cute.
****
Once the rest of his dancers left, Jin asked “What’s going on? Care to explain.”
“I tried to stop him, but he’s just too fat” Ryo answered defensively.
“Pi, what’s going on?” Jin ignored Ryo knowing he would not get any sarcastic-free answer.
“I’m in love!” Yampi declared in a twirl looking totally insane.
“Eh?! With Kamenashi?” Jin asked a bit too loud.
Ryo shook his head in annoyance “If you are trying to be discreet, you failed miserably.”
“Pi, I never knew you swing the other way as well?” Jin still can’t believe his ladies-man best friend’s declaration.
“Jin, when you are in love, you just swing all the way” Yamapi answered confidently.
Jin turned to Ryo “Is he drunk? He seems a bit delirious”
“Nope, just the same pea brain Pi” Ryo answered. “This is what happened when you let your cock do the talking”
Pi ignored Ryo retorts and cling himself over Jin “It is just what like my horoscope said ‘I’ll fall in love today. Jin, you have to help me out. Please be my cupid?”
“Eh?!” he exclaimed. Realizing his hectic world going to be even more unbearable now.
