Summary: Jun’s life seems perfect. He has a great job, amazing friends and he enjoys every part of his days, till he meets a stranger at a friend’s party. With this day his life starts spinning upside down and he isn’t sure anymore if his life is really that perfect…
Aiba enjoyed the warm water surrounding his body. Even though he was at the beginning of his sickness, he felt already tired and sore. He closed his eyes and started to doze off. Aiba didn’t want to imagine how the next weeks would become, but he was sure that he would be able to survive this sickness. Already when he got to know about it, he said that he’d fight this stupid sickness, and nothing had changed his opinion.
Aiba got out of the bath. He looked at his figure in the mirror. He had gotten thinner, and it would become worse, the doctors had already warned him about that fact.
Soon he’d start his therapy and he’d hopefully have a surgery soon. This time would be the worst. Aiba needed to stay at the hospital for at least two months. He hated to live like in a prison. He’d be in a cage. He wouldn’t even be allowed to go out, because of the susceptibility to infections.
Aiba put on the cosy bathrobe and sat on the terrace with a big cup of green tea in his hands. It was a strange feeling he had. He was still the same, he was sick and nothing had changed, but because of the fact that he was finally able to be honest to Jun, he felt better. Like a burden was taken from his shoulders.
Aiba took his mobile. He had three messages.
+083…
How are you doing?
Aiba smiled. He felt a warm feeling spreading in his body. He typed to reply to Ryo.
Aiba Masaki
Thanks, I am okay. More or less…
+083…
More or less? Is it because of your sickness?
Aiba blinked. He hadn’t talked with Ryo about it. How did he know?
+Aiba Masaki
What? How do you know?
+083…
You told me at the party. You drank so much, I think you can’t remember.
Aiba swallowed. He didn’t want to get on someone else’s nerves. Especially not a stranger’s ones.
Aiba Masaki
I am sorry. I can explain everything.
+083…
It’s okay, really. Do you want to meet up soon, Aiba-chan?
Aiba breathed in. Did he really want to get into something like dating right now? He wouldn’t have the chance for a relationship now, but in the end, he wanted to have the feeling of being alive.
Aiba Masaki
Okay. Just about my sickness…
+083…
I can help you with medical treatment, Aiba-chan. Let me help you.
Aiba would take the risk. He decided to go with his feeling, like Jun was doing right now. Jun’s fall for this strange guy was Aiba’s motivation to say yes to Ryo.
Aiba Masaki
Okay. Let’s meet soon. I’d really appreciate your help. Please take care of me.
+083…
I will. Call me when you are back from your trip, and we’ll meet.
Aiba placed the mobile on the table. He had a really good feeling right now.
~~~
Jun’s stomach twisted painfully. He felt like his world started breaking down. Even though he hadn’t had any relationship with Sho before, he felt embarrassed and ashamed. He had kissed this guy, because he had the feeling that there was something special between them, and now? It was all a fake. “You got asked?”
Sho was staring at Jun, and Jun tried to ignore that. He didn’t want to face this guy. He felt his cheeks burning. The last time he had felt like this, had been in high school, when he had confessed to someone and got rejected.
It was the first time in years that Jun had the courage to take a step, and it had been a mistake. A terrible mistake to trust this Sho guy. What had he been thinking? He was so stupid, it was so clear that this whole thing was just a play. Jun got angry. Who did this to him? Aiba? No, that couldn’t be. Ohno? Nino? No matter who, Jun would scold them for what they had done to him.
“Yes, but please let me explain,” Sho said.
This trip was going to be a horror trip, first the thing with Aiba and now this thing. Jun wanted to drive home, he wanted to go home, to drown his worries in work. He wanted back to his old life, back to the stressful time. Everything was better than this last two days.

Kame walked up to Ohno and Nino. He greeted them and took place right towards Ohno. “I am sorry I lied to you, Satoshi,” Kame said.
Ohno raised his hand. He didn’t want to hear any excuses right now. He wanted to understand what was going on here. “Please, explain all this mess. I want to know the truth behind this.”
Sometimes Ohno wondered about his own calmness. He was furious and he felt the anger spreading in him, but Ohno had learned to keep a clear mind, even though his feelings tried to take control. He wanted to understand everything before he’d go to scold one of them, or both, or whomever. Sometimes his friends said that he was way too calm and without any kind of reaction, but in this case it helped him a lot.
“Two months ago I came back from oversee to take over my father’s company. It’s the one Aiba and Jun work at. My father will retire in a few months, and I slowly take control of the business. Some weeks ago Aiba came up to me. He told me about his sickness. He had to, because it will affect his work of course,” Kame explained.
Ohno hadn’t thought about it till now. Aiba wouldn’t be able to go to work for a long time. Ohno could see Kame waving his hand immediately. “Don’t worry, we won’t throw him out because of that. We’ll find a way to even make him work from hospital, or if it’s totally not possible for him, we’ll find another way. The thing is, he wants to work. He is afraid that life will become boring without doing something.”
Ohno laughed at that. That was typically Aiba. Ohno knew that Aiba loved his work, and he wouldn’t stand it to do nothing. “That sounds like him.”
Kame smiled. “Yes, but there was something else: He asked me to keep silent. He didn’t want his brother to know something about it. He had no idea how to tell Jun, and he was afraid to face Jun with the truth.”
“That’s why you made this?” Ohno blinked.
“Yes. I felt sorry, because I could see him suffer. I knew Nino from former businesses and we came up with this plan. We both didn’t know that it work out that fast,” Kame answered.
“And you sent Sho?” Ohno asked. It was still a little mysterious to him. Why this strange guy?
“Yes, but there’s a reason we chose Sho,” Kame said. “Would you come with me? I need to show you something.” Kame looked at Ohno.
Ohno could see Nino nodding. Maybe this was also the key to Kame’s secret? Maybe this whole mess was connected? But that couldn’t be. Ohno felt his head spinning. “Can we at least take a drink before we do anything? I need to sort things out first.”
The other two nodded.
~~~
Jun shook his head. He wanted to get away from here. He wanted to pack his things and get away.
“Please let me explain further,” Sho asked him. His hand brushed over Jun’s shoulder. Jun froze. He didn’t want to be touched by someone who had lied to him.
He stepped back to get away from Sho’s touch. “What do you want to say? You got asked to bring me here, for what reason ever. You invited me and my brother to this resort to get me laid? Who made this plan, and what was that for?” Jun yelled. “No, you know what, it doesn’t matter. I don’t want to know it. I want to go back. I want to take care of my brother, who needs me now.”
Sho sighed. He looked pale and crushed. Jun shook his head. This all didn’t make any sense. “I … it was some years ago. I got to know that I had gotten sick. I experienced the same like Aiba does now. I just wanted to help you both talking with each other.”
“You, what?” Jun got back to the table and sat down.
Sho nodded. “I had the same diagnosis. It’s everything okay now, but back then it was the world’s end for me.”
“But how do you come to know us? Does Aiba know you? I don’t understand a single word.” Jun rubbed his face. Everything got more and more confusing.
“No, you don’t know me, but you are a friend of my brother,” Sho answered.
“Who’s your brother?” Jun looked at Sho in disbelief.
