Finally! An update on A Beautiful Mess! ^^ If you guys didn't notice, I intend to make every chapters of this fic longer than my usual fics that's why it always took me time to do an update.
Like what I said in the last update of Out Of My League, I did a banner on this fic and here it is! :)
The girl is Sumiya Nemi, she's a model. When I described Yana's appearance in the prologue (remember when Jun is looking at her picture in the magazine? ^_^) she's exactly the one I patterned Yana with. Oh, if you want to see her in action, she guested in one of the Mannequin Five episode. I think that's HnA ep. 102 with Tsuchiya Anna guesting on VIP Room. It's a funny M5 episode in my opinion. ^^
I'm sorry if there's so much Yoochun in this update. BUT! I promise whatever happened between him and Yana later in this chapter will have a big effect on the story later on and when I say big it's BIG. :)))
To get you excited, next chapter is full of JUN and YANA. :)))
CHAPTER TWO
The 60th Kouhaku Song Battle has started as all the artists are gathered around the waiting area backstage. Izumi Yana is just a few inches away from Arashi and all of them are giving her fleeting glances including Ninomiya who’s eyes is obviously glued to her. What happened in the elevator a while ago sure hypes up her tension for tonight, except that Nino leaves her hanging and wanting for more when he left.
Ending the staring fest with Nino, Yana surveys the area for a certain someone and her eyes stops at a corner where five guys are standing, they are all quiet and even from a far, she noticed how the atmosphere in their little circle is a bit tensed. She made her way to them and she can see from the corner of her eyes that Nino is following her with his gaze.
“Konbanwa, minna-san.” Yana greets them and they all flashed a forced smile. Park Yoochun gives her a cold shoulder, evidently angry at her for not making it to dressing room 4F.
“Yana-chan. Konbanwa. Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu.” The group’s leader, Jung Yunho says while bowing.
“Yoroshiku. Ganbatte ne!” Yana cheerfully says, to no luck, the five members of Tohoshinki are still expressionless. “Ja, have fun tonight, guys.” She says, suddenly, she’s feeling awkward now with how they act.
She started walking away when she noticed Yoochun following her. “You really can’t read the atmosphere, are you?” Yoochun mockingly says from behind. The lawsuit filed by the three members, including Yoochun, is all over the headlines for the past week.
“Well then, I’m sorry Mr. Park. I didn’t imagine it to be that heavy!” Yana says while facing him, his face is so near she wanted to grab it and kiss him right there and then. She noticed that he has cut his shorter, finding him more handsome with that clean cut he has. “I initially just wanted to talk to you that’s why I came.”
“Ah, let me guess, you’re going to apologize for not showing up earlier.” Yoochun says while crossing his arms in his chest.
“Something came up.” Yana softly says. She didn’t want him to know that she’s making out with an Arashi member in the elevator.
“I get it.” Yoochun sighed. He looks at her face admiringly and she feels uncomfortable with it, mainly because that’s the look he has when he told her the words ‘I love you’. “Do your best tonight, Yana. I’ll see you around.” he wanted to say something else but it’ll be useless anyways. He turned his back on her but he felt her hands on his arms.
“Come to my dressing room later. I’ll wait for you.” He heard Yana says from behind before letting go of his arms. He just nods his head once before walking away.
Meanwhile, in another corner of the backstage, the five members of Arashi are speculating on what seems like a serious conversation between Izumi Yana and a Tohoshinki member.
“They look close.” Aiba commented. “Look at the way he stares at her.”
“Whatever they are talking about is surely not just an exchange of ‘good lucks’ and ‘do your best’. It looks deeper.” Sho says.
“Are you affected, Nino?” Jun snorted while shooting a quick glance at their subject, Yoochun turned back already but Yana take hold of his arms. “They look… intimate, ne?” he added, nudging Nino.
“Maybe he’s just one of the many boys she has under her belt.” Nino says, turning around to face the guys.
“He left her now and she seems… sad, I think. Look at her.” Ohno says and the guys, except for Nino, turned their attention to Yana. She saw them looking and her forehead starts the crease with discomfort.
“Shit. She saw us.” Aiba mumbled while pretending to search around the room, Sho and Ohno did the same making Nino laugh at them.
Before Jun can look away, his eyes met Yana. Acting all cool unlike the three, he slowly lowered his head and smiled at her and she did the same.
“Attention minna-san.” A staff announces with a megaphone, making the entire backstage turn to him. “It’s time for everyone to come out. Members of the white team will be coming out from the left side of the stage and the red team from the right.”
The crowd of artists all went to their respective positions. Walking to her spot as she courteously greets every artist she passed to, Yana saw Arashi and bowed at them politely. “Yoroshiku, Yana. I’ll be watching so give your all.” Nino boastfully says, not bothering to look back at her.
“Hai.” That’s the only word she can come out with while gaping at his back. A while ago he seems okay but all of a sudden, he’s getting so full of himself. Just because she lets him go first base on her, he can call her now by first name. She takes back her words now, Ninomiya Kazunari is a bit arrogant for her taste.
“Forgive his bad manners.” Jun apologetically smiled at her. All the other members are walking to their spot except for him. “Yoroshiku Onegashimasu, Izumi-san.” Unlike Nino, Jun wished her good luck with such courtesy.
“Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu, Matsumoto-san.” She greets him back as politely.
“Do your best!” Jun encouragingly says while throwing his closed fist in the air.
Yana smiles, she used to find him intimidating but she was so wrong, he actually managed to calm down her nervousness. “Arigatou gozaimasu.” she says and he began walking to where the rest of Arashi is.
---
“Omedetou!! ” Yana heard Eri greeting from the dressing room door, holding a big bouquet of flowers. The rest of the staff is behind her, one of them is carry a big cake with Omedetou written in kanji and the rest are opening up party poppers in their hands.
The show is still on-going but Yana’s performance has ended and it receives great reception from the audience and the judges. Her mobile phone is constantly receiving mails from her friends, congratulating her for a job well done. She felt happy of course and she’s quite proud for what she has achieved tonight, it was a memory she would never forget.
“Arigatou, minna!” Yana excitedly says. “We all did a great job, not just me. We’re a team and my success is also your success!” she says reassuringly while hugging her staff one by one.
The happy and triumphant mood in Yana’s dressing room was sustained until the end of the show. Confetti and streamers from the party poppers are all over the place, everyone gets to eat a piece of the cake and they are all merrily chatting while lazing around.
“We’ll be welcoming the New Year in an hour, are we not going yet?” Moe-chan, Yana’s stylist suggested while fixing her make-up box. A few staff already went home to welcome the New Year with their families.
“Go ahead, Moe-chan. Yuu ask me to wait for him here.” Yana says, slouching on the couch. “Are you coming Eri-chan?” she added, eyeing Eri who’s sitting in a chair by the corner.
“I promise my mother to spend the New Year with her.” Eri replies, getting up. “I guess Moe-chan and I will be going then?”
“Go ahead, don’t mind me. Your families are waiting. I think Yuu will come any minute now.” Yana reassures. She doesn’t have any family to spend the New Year with. Her mother left again the day after Christmas and she can’t endure her grandparents to spend the night with them without her mother in her tail. Thankfully, she has her precious friends to party with.
In the end, Yana was left alone in the now quiet dressing room. She’s still lying on the couch with her eyes closed and a headphone in her ears.
She didn’t notice the door swung open due to the loud sound coming from her Ipod. Sensing someone was around, she opened her eyes and saw Yoochun reaching for her lips. She suddenly felt a sense of relief. She doubted if he will ever come but that worry was now erased because he’s here, giving her the kiss she’s been longing for months.
“I can’t be here for long. We still have another schedule.” Yoochun murmured in between kisses.
“Okay.” Yana mumbled, getting up from the couch and pulling Yoochun closer to her. She unzipped his parka and slips her hands inside his shirt, rubbing her hand gently inside as he kiss her more passionately.
Getting on top of him, she grabs his face as she deepened their kiss. He successfully removed her shirt and now undoing her bra, his lips went down her chin, to her neck and slowly down to her chest and in between her breast. “I miss you, Yana.” He murmured, as his lips are now reaching her right nipple.
“I miss you too.” Yana replies, her heart goes doki doki all of a sudden. This can’t be happening, her heart is supposed to be as numb as a statue but having Park Yoochun kissing her, touching her and even as simple as being there beside her makes it weak.
Her hand reached for the button in his jeans, undoing it along with his boxers as she enjoys his tongue playing with her nipple. Tilting his head up to meet her eyes, she heard her chest thump so hard, like her heart wants to come out with the vision of his handsome face. She softly strokes his cheeks as he leaned forward to kiss her again. She can feel his hard manhood in between her thighs, she gently rubs it and she can see the pleasure in his face.
Yana undid her jeans and underwear in one go. Pulling him closer to her body, she can feel in his manhood reaching inside her as she moans with desire.
Suddenly, his mobile phone starts ringing from his jeans pocket lying on the ground. He’s about to pull away to get it but she stops him by grasping his face for a kiss.
“I need to get that.” Yoochun softly says.
“No.” Yana mumbled as her lips is playing around his neck.
“I need to.” Yoochun pulls away and she can’t object any further.
Yoochun crouched down to get his phone. “Hai.” He answers. Yana sat beside him and began kissing his ears, slowing going around his neck as he wrapped his arms around her for a cuddle.
“I’ll be there in a few minutes.” He says and saw Yana frowning in his shoulders. He grips her closer to kiss her forehead. “Okay. I’m coming.” He says before hanging up.
“That sucks.” Yana says, can’t hide her discontentment. Yoochun is now getting on his jeans.
“I told you, we have another appearance tonight.” Yoochun says, he’s now putting on his shirt. Yana lazily grabs her clothes and starts dressing up.
“We’re going back to Seoul tomorrow night. You can drop by the hotel in the morning.” Yoochun says reassuringly while pulling her into his thighs as he lets her sit on top of him.
“Okay.” Yana agrees but it’s evident that she’s still disappointed.
“I’ll make it up to you tomorrow. I promise.” Yoochun whispers in her ear while running his lips on it, his hand is playing with her hair.
Meanwhile, in the dressing room next door where Arashi is resting, one of their managers appeared from the door, “We’ll be going in ten minutes.” He reminded them as the five guys say hai in chorus.
“Matsujun, I hope you didn’t forget the bet.” Ohno smirks at him.
“I didn’t.” Jun replied coolly. “Shall we do it now?” he confidently says.
“I saw you talk to her earlier before the show starts.” Sho says, smiling knowingly at Jun.
“Because Nino here acted like an ass to her.” Jun nudged Nino’s chest playfully. He wasn’t in a good mood since the start of the show after seeing the suspicious exchange between Izumi Yana and Park Yoochun.
“Man! That girl! I’m not going after her anymore! I don’t want to be heartbroken!” Nino yells, letting out his frustration.
“But acting like an asshole is not the right thing to do.” Aiba calmly commented.
“Just because she chooses a taller, prettier guy than you does not necessarily mean that you have the right to treat her that way.” Sho mockingly says the guys erupt in laughter. Nino, on the other hand, gives him a death glare.
“Urusai!!” Nino yells at them.
“Don’t be so bitter, Nino.” Jun says, while patting his shoulders but he shrugs it off.
Their manager pops in again, “Five minutes, guys.” He informed and they all got up to get their bags and went out of the door.
“Shall I knock?” Jun turns to the members and they all nod their heads, gleaming with excitement except for Nino who’s leaning on their dressing room door.
Back inside Izumi Yana’s dressing room, Yoochun is about to open the knob but she stops him.
“Why?” Yoochun asks, she looks nervous. “Are you okay?” he gently rubs her face.
“I…” Yana can’t continue her words due to the rapid beating of her heart. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath making Yoochun laugh with that vision of her.
“Can you say it again?” Yana softly says making Yoochun narrowed his eyes in confusion. “Those words you said to me when we were in Han River?” she says without meeting his eyes.
“Why?” Yoochun asks, confusion is drawn across his face.
“I want to hear it.” Yana says while biting her under lip.
“I thought you don’t want to-” he didn’t get to finish his sentence as Yana jumps to kiss him.
“I love you too.” Yana mumbled, their faces are still close to each other.
“What?” Yoochun asks, he’s obviously happy with what he heard but he wants to confirm it to be sure.
“Say it to me first.” Yana says with an uncertain smile.
“I love you.” Yoochun instantly says while brushing her hair on the back of her ear. “Your turn.” He smirks.
“I love you too.” Yana tensely says as she saw Yoochun’s face gets brighter.
He leaned over to kiss her, this time, it’s more gentle and full of love.
“Now I don’t want to go.” Yoochun laughs as the cups her face in his hand.
“Then don’t.” Yana whispers, their foreheads are touching each other.
His mobile phone starts ringing again. “I’ll be there in a minute.” Yoochun answers and hangs up, not waiting for a reply from the other line.
“I have to go.” He reached for the doorknob but Yana began kissing him again.
“Don’t.” Yana mumbled but he opened the door already.
Oblivious to the people outside, Yana continued kissing him, touching him until he realizes the audience, that is Arashi, are watching them and pulls her away from him.
Jun’s eyes got bigger, Aiba covers both his hand on his mouth, Sho’s jaw is hanging, Ohno's eyes is pretending to roam around the corridor and Nino tilt his head to see what caused his members to give such reaction.
“Arashi-san. Otsukaresama Deshita.” Yoochun politely bows at them. Yana felt her blood rushes through her cheeks in embarrassment.
“Otsukaresama Deshita.” The members of Arashi, except for Nino, say while keeping their cool.
“You guys did a great job tonight! Keep it up!” Jun says cheerfully as he pats Yoochun’s shoulders. He noticed that their hands are entangled together.
“Arigatou, Matsumoto-san.” Yana shyly says. “You were great too. It was an exciting performance.”
“Arigatou, Izumi-san. That’s nice to hear.” Jun sincerely says.
And there was an awkward silence. Except for Jun, the rest of Arashi didn’t know what to say. Nino was sulking in that spot of his, rolling his eyes.
“We have to go now. We still have a countdown to attend to.” Jun manages to say. “We just wanted to say our congratulation to you, Izumi-san and you too, Yoochun-san.” There’s an uncertainly in his voice.
“See you around, both of you.” Being a sempai to both of them, Jun figured that there’s no problem with the way the talks friendly with them, it’s also his way to ease up the awkward air.
---
“So I guess we confirmed it then.” Sho says as they all settled in their seat in the van.
“They are in a relationship. I’m positive.” Aiba firmly says.
“Did you see the entangled hands? That gives it away.” Ohno puts in.
“Yeah, I saw it.” Jun says nonchalantly.
“Why are we still talking about her? Can we have a different topic besides that bitch?” Nino yells.
“Man, don’t call her a bitch. You don’t know her.” Jun reprimanded him and from the serious look on his face, Nino is sure that he doesn’t want to mess up with that. He just slouched in his seat and crossed his arms on his chest.
Aiba, Sho and Ohno saw that exchange and they all took a mental note to keep quiet, Jun is serious and they don’t want to trigger it.
The van is quiet, no one dared to speak. Jun’s mind is filled with scenes of Izumi Yana kissing Park Yoochun, their entangled hands, her shy smile, her beautiful bare face, her soothing voice and he can’t seem to keep that out no matter how he tries to think of something else.
---
“What the hell is wrong with you? You’re smiling for no reason.” Yuu laughs at Yana who’s sitting in his car’s passenger seat. They are on the way to the New Year’s party at LEX.
Yana finally puts her heart on the line, ignoring all the consequences in her head. She’s scared of course but the thought of Yoochun ease it away.
“What if I tell you that I have a boyfriend?” Yana smirks and Yuu pressed on his breaks.
“WHAT!??!” Yuu yells in shock. They received buzzing horns from the cars behind them.
“Easy, Yuu. Don’t get us killed.” Yana teasingly says.
“Can you repeat what you said?” Yuu asks, still in awe.
“I have a boyfriend.” Yana says, pursing her lips to keep the growing smile on her face.
“Like a real boyfriend? A serious relationship? A commitment?” Yuu expanded her words.
“I don’t know yet but I think that’s it.” Yana says and Yuu was amused at how she looks so happy with what she’s talking about.
“Who the hell was that guy?” Yuu asks again.
“Yoochun.” Yana softly says.
“YOOCHUN!?? I thought you dumped him?” Yuu almost hit the car in front of them because he didn’t saw the red light.
“Easy, Yuu! I don’t want to welcome the New Year in a police station!” Yana lectured him, Yuu ignored her, waiting for an answer to his question.
“I just felt something, okay. We didn’t get to see each other for a long time and when I saw him earlier it just hit me.”
“Did you told him that…” Yuu is uncertain on saying his next words.
“I love him?” Yana says as if reading his mind and he nods. “I did.”
Yuu dropped his jaw and pulled down his window. “I need fresh air!!!!!!” He screamed outside.
