a golden bell starts ringing, chapter 5
„It was in October 2006 when it happened,“ I continue my story.
Her eyes widen. “You mean the first L.A. incident?”
I nod. “I mean the reason for leaving”
“Ok, go on,” she says with the usual reporter-enthusiasm.
“It was on October 8 when Kame and I went out for dinner to an exclusive restaurant to just spend some time together. Having some time to spare was very rare due to his filming schedule. We ate really delicious food and drank lots of sake. Too much of it unfortunately.
By the time it was time to leave we were pretty tipsy.
Kame clang onto my right arm, his head leaning on my shoulder. Usually he wouldn’t do such a thing in public and I would be fine with it. But this time I enjoyed it.
Suddenly Kame let go of my arm and stopped.
“What is it?” I asked confused.
“Nuuuu~thing!” Kame grinned and walked right in front of me. He swung his arms around my neck and pulled me close. I pulled him even closer by putting my arms around his waist.
He smiled at me, such a cute and lovely smile. Alcohol-infused probably the cutest smile in the world. He was still not paying attention that we were in public. I looked around though. Fortunately it was late and I couldn't see anyone.
Kame leaned really close. I could feel his lips on my earlobe when he said, “Kiss me~”.
I hesitated a second but leaned in to kiss him eventually.
First it was a sweet kiss, only our lips touching, but it turned passionate very fast.
I don’t know how long we stood there and kissed but after a while we broke apart to take a breath.
While we still stood so close to each other, I whispered into Kame's ear, “I love you, let’s go home.”
He nodded. We separated and walked to the next taxi-station holding hands.
In the morning we arrived at the jimusho with headaches, but at least I could remember everything we did in public and in private after. Kame said he couldn’t remember anything before he took a shower in the morning, waking up with a hangover.
Koki greeted us when we walked into the dressing room. “Yo, good morning!”
We just nodded in reply.
“Had a nice evening yesterday?” Nakamaru asked.
“Yes, the food was delicious! You really should try that restaurant,” Kame told them.
“I bet the sake was delicious too. Judging by your appearances today,” Ueda remarked sarcastically.
I nodded. “Well, thank you. You can see that we have a huge headache, right?”
Ueda smiled “Of course I do, I hope you didn’t do something stupid.”
I began to feel nervous. “I-I don’t think so.”
Kame looked a bit confused at my stammering but laughed. “Of course we didn’t. You know how I am in public.”
I snorted at that and now Kame stared for a bit, but let it go.
The next days were quite calm.
Then Thursday the 12th came. This became the worst day of my life.
Our manager came in.
“Akanishi, Kamenashi, Johnny-san wants to talk to the two of you.”
We looked confused at each other and followed him to Johnny-sans office. What had we done? Suddenly I remembered the little incident on the street. But there had been no one else, right? Stay calm, Jin, I told myself.
When we walked in was nobody except Johnny-san and his niece, Julie. I guess I had expected only Johnny to be there.
“Please sit down” he said in an instructional tone. There were two chairs in front of his desk, kind of unusual. We were used to standing in this office, but we sat down as ordered.
Johnny said in a mysterious air, “My dear niece wants to talk to you. You both know she will lead this company someday, so she has the right to decide some things too.”
We nodded, a bit dumb-founded.
“So…” she began. “What did you do last Sunday?” she asked.
“We had a dinner at a restaurant,” Kame answered honestly.
If you looked closely, Julies stare was even more intimidating than her uncle's. “Okay, and what did you do after leaving that restaurant?”
“We….” A pause. All the images went before my inner eye. His cute smile. The cutest smile. Kame being too drunk when we wanted to leave the restaurant. The dark street.
“We walked to a taxi-station” I answered for him.
“And what did you do on the way to the taxi-station?”
Silence.
I knew that she was referring to the kiss but couldn’t say it. I was so sure there had been nobody else or else I wouldn't have kissed him. I just couldn't admit it.
“You did this,” she said and showered the floor in front of our chairs with some photos. When I picked one up it showed the kiss we had on the way to the taxi-station. Another Kame leaning close and whispering. The kiss looked so different from another perspective. It was the kiss Kame couldn’t remember.
Kame looked shocked at the photos. I didn’t. I couldn't. It was all my fault.
“You’re lucky that it was just me seeing you and taking pictures. I could have been a paparazzi, think about it! Aren't you using your heads when you walk out of this building? It could've ended in a disaster, right?”
We nodded. We couldn’t say something because she was right. A side-ways glance told me that Kame still couldn't believe his eyes. He was always so alert in public. My remorse got even worse.
“I’ve made a decision,” she said very seriously.
I was scared now and I bet Kame was too. People were excluded from activities for minor incidents. It was so obvious from the pictures that we had a relationship.
“Akanishi-kun will go to Los Angeles to study English is the official announcement. We released it to the press last night. Press conference is set for tomorrow. We officially said you’ll stay for 6 months but its not decided yet how long you’ll actually stay.”
My eyes widened in shock. This was perfidious. Cleverer than suspension. Getting me out of the picture meant splitting us up, too. I became so afraid so suddenly.
“What? You can’t do that...! We had our debut just half a year ago!” Kame protested. I felt it was no use even before Kame spoke up.
Julie shook her head. “It’s already decided, we asked you here to inform you about it. It's not up for discussion.”
“And she can do that?” Kame looked at Johnny-san unbelievably.
He nodded .“I told you she can make decisions too. This is her decision and I accept that. You can leave now.” This was it. We had to accept it as if a judge just spoke his sentence.
When the office door closed behind us I didn't feel anything. Mortification and regret and loss would've been the best fit. But if there's so much at once, it could be nothing too.
After being silent for a few moments, Kame snapped at me. “Why didn’t you tell me about that kiss? I bet you remember everything from that evening!”
“But Kame-”
“You deserve it to go when you can’t control yourself in public anymore. I support their decision.”
Before I could answer he ran off to the elevator.”
