jin and the rest of kat-tun sat on his living room.
"what are we waiting for? why don't we start whatever it is we're going to talk about?" maru asked
"we're just waiting for the others." kame answered
"eh? what do you mean others? this is supposed to be a closed door meeting between KAT-T_N"
"Ueda's not the only person involved in this so it's not right for you guys to do this alone.
everyone turned to see who the owner of the voice was.
"yamapi?" maru said
"hai! domo maru-chan.." yamapi greeted.
"domo yamashita-kun!" junno greeted and yamapi nodded.
"glad you can make it. where are the others?" kame asked yamapi
"DOMO!!!" four other people emerged behind the door.
"EEEHHH??!!! massu? tegoshi? shige? koyama? nani?? why is NEWS here??" maru asked looking confused
"i told you maru, ueda is not the only one involved in this. ryo-chan's also included. that's why it's just right that NEWS and KAT-T_N work together ne?" yamapi said
"hai hai! let's work together!" koyama added
maru just massaged his head. it was enough that he had to deal with jin and the rest of KAT-TUN. but NEWS as well? first, there's the group's baby, tegoshi. he doesn't know what to do if one of tegoshi's tantrums comes up. and what about massu's love for food? if massu's ging to be around, they need to buy more food. koyama's there too. being all mother-y to the members and shige, though he's a smart one, he can really be a pain he starts his pranks. and there goes yamapi. jin alone is a mess! if you add yamapi, it'd be a disaster!!
"maru-chan, daijobou desu ka?" koyama asked looking worried
maru sighed
"i think i have a headache..." maru said
"eh? chotto... i'll get some medicine for you ne?"
"when will this end?" maru asked himself
once everyone were settled and maru drank the medicine koyama insisted, they started their meeting.
"so, when did you start noticing something different with ryo-chan?" jin asked NEWS
"he doesn't play with me anymore..." tegoshi said
"so?" koki asked with a confused look
"eh..ano.. ryo-tan always plays with tego-nyan..." tegoshi said
"ok..then..anything else?" kame asked when everyone looked oddly at tegoshi
"hai hai!!" massu raised his hand
"hai, massu?" jin acknowledge him
"ryo-chan doesn't bother me anymore when i'm eating!" massu said while smiling
"okaaaaay.shige?" kame asked
"hmmm..let me see... he's been on the phone a lot lately. and he takes those calls outside the rehearsal room." shige said
"hmmm... maybe it's something important ne?" maru said
"but ryo-chan doesn't do that though the person he's talking to is johnny-san. he always takes his calls whether we're there but lately, it seem like he's hiding something." shige added
"ah..sou ka..wakarimashita..."
"ne, ne, if i remember, ueda's also doing the same thing ne? taking calls every now and then." koki said
"but then, it could only be a coincidence. tat-chan always takes his calls in private. even before we suspected that there's something going on between him
and ryo." maru said
"hmmm...maru has a point.. anything else you've noticed? koyama?" kame turned to NEWS's oldest member
"hai! ryo-chan goes home early after practice!" koyama said
"eh? doesn't ryo-chan always go home early?" maru asked
"hai hai but lately, he goes home EXTRA early."
"koyama, there's no such thing as 'extra early'"
"i know i know. i was just trying to explain it. how about ueda? does he go home early too?"
"he goes home the same time."
"hmm.. i see."
"how about you pi? notice anything?" jin asked
"he doesn't go out on a drink with me anymore." yamapi said
"eehhh? ryo-chan?"
"hai.."
"but he's always the one who invites you ne?" jin said
"hai... but this week, i invited him twice and he rejected them."
"nande?"
"he just said he has something important to do."
"ah!" junno reacted
"what is it junno?" koki asked
"ueda also rejected my invites to go out on a drink!"
"eh? he did?"
"hai.."
"but tat-chan doesn't really like drinking, ne?" koki asked the others and they all agreed
"besides, if i'm ueda and junno aksed me, i'm sure to reject it." jin said.
"oi!" junno reated but jin just laughed.
"okay okay..so here's what we know... ryo's acting weird lately. he takes phone calls in private, goes home 'extra early' and rejects invitations to have a drink." kame summarized.
tegoshi raised his hand
"hai? what is it tegoshi?"
" you forgot that he doesn't play with me anymore and that he doesn't bother maru when he's eating."tegoshi reminded him
"hai. gomen. and that ryo-chan doesn't play with 'tego-nyan' and doesn't bother massu when he's eating" kame said then sighed.
"so, what's your plan now?" maru asked them
"i guess we'll have to watch them more. then if something comes up, just tell us. we'll meet here again."
"hai!" everyone said.
*ring ring
everyone immediately took there phone out to check if it was theirs that was ringing except junno. they already checked but it was still ringing.
koki saw junno's phone vibrating and ringing on top of jin's coffee table.
"itai!" junno almost dropped his psp when koki smacked him on the head
"what are you doing?! i was about to win!!!" junno whined
"you're phone is ringing! baka! go and answer it before i throw that psp outside!" koki said
junno immediately stood up and answered his phone
"moshi moshi? tacchon? hai..no? hai hai..." junno then hang up
"who was that?" jin asked
"tacchon."
"ah.. so kanjani's in tokyo then?"
"no. it's just him. said he wants to go out for a drink. ja ne!" junno got his coat then left.
"i don't get it, why does tacchon like going out with junno?" jin asked everyone.
"beats me." koki answered
******
it was another day of rehearsal for NEWS and everyone wanted to go out and drink.
"ryo-chan, you coming?" yamapi asked
"hmm? ah..iie iie.. i have something to do."
"eh? hontou ni? you never go out with us anymore"
"gomen ne? i just have things to do lately." ryo said
tegoshi suddenly entered the room
"ryo-tan!!!" he greeted
"ah! domo tego-nyan!" ryo greeted
"ooohh.. ureshii! ryo-tan is back to normal! play with me ne?"
"eh? back to normal?" ryo asked looking puzzled
yamapi pushed tegoshi aside
"ah..iie iie.. it was nothing." yamapi said
"ah. hai"
"gomen ne, tego-nyan but ryo-tan has to go somewhere" ryo said
"awww... hontou ni?" tegoshi asked
"hai. but i promise, when i'm free, we'll play, ne?"
"hai!" tegoshi said with a smile.
"pi, ja ne!" ryo waved good bye to yamapi.
"hai. ja ne!"
ueda just arrived at the jimousho to get some of his things for tomorrow's photoshoot.
ryo-chan just got out of the rehearsal room when he saw ueda approach. he was planning to ignore the other but then, he didn't. ryo blocked ueda's way. ueda tried to move to his right but ryo did too. with this happening, ueda was pushed back to the wall. ryo placed his arms on both sides of ueda trapping the latter.
on the corner of the hallway, two people were watching what was happening. shige and koyama's mouth hang open as they witness what ryo and ueda were doing.
after a while, ryo and ueda left together, walking side by side and were obviosly smiling.
when the two were gone, koyama ang shige went back to the rehearsal room.
"PI-CHAN!!!" koyama called as they enter the room.
"koyama? nani?"
"pi-chan!!! ryo-chan...tat-chan...hallway!!!!"
"eh? calm down.. i don't understand what you're saying." yamapi said and helped koyama sit down.
"shige, what happened?" yamapi asked but shige just sat there dumbfounded
yamapi sighed
"MASSU! give me two glasses of water!" yamapi ordered massu who was at the mini kitchen.
"HAI!" massu replied
a moment later, massu came with the water. he gave shige at koyama the glass and both of them drank.
"are you alright now?" yamapi asked
shige and koyama nodded
"can you tell me what happened?"
the two nodded again
"what?"
"ryo-chan..." koyama started
"and tat-chan!!!" shige continued
"what about ryo and ueda?" yamapi asked
"they were talking on the hallway.." koyama said while shige nodded to show his agreement.
"they talked?"
"iie iie... it was different. it looked like ryo-chan was pinning ueda to the wall." koyama said
"hai hai! and the two of them looked serious." shige added
"EEEHHH?" was the only reaction of yamapi
"and not only that, they left the jimousho together...." koyama said
"SMILING!!!" shige continued.
yamapi almost fainted at the news while koyama and shige were still shocked.
