Chapter 3 Part 1:
- At the Music Club's Room -After the whipping sessions were done. All of them sat down to a couch as Shachou start to discuss about their performance.
"I think you've learned your lesson now? So next time, be on time!!"
"Haaaii~" all of them said painfully as they still feel the presence of the whip on their butts.
"So I'll discuss now about the songs that you’ll be performing this coming school event. The student councils allow us to perform a maximum of 2 songs” all of them are now in a serious mode.
“First, all of you will perform Hey! Say! JUMP’s Magic Power. We noticed that it was also played through a band”. Shachou said and the girls began to have their own discussion.
“Really? Sugoii! I’m excited” Rena whispered excitedly.
“Chiyuu! Me too! But do you think we can do it?” Tomo~mi frowned.
“Of course we can! We need to practice harder for it” Jurina said in an encouraging tone.
While the girls were obviously excited about it and discussing on their own; Riku and Kai was totally against it and have a same thought of ‘What?! Why do we need to perform it instead of our own song?!’ As the two were still thinking about it, Kuu suddenly stand up and it made the others look at him.
“Yattaaa~ ! So are we going to dance also like what they did on their PV?” Everyone look him with an ‘Ehh?!’ face.
“What? You said that it will be exciting right? We’ll make it more exciting if we’re going to dance” Kuu said happily and not bothered of the two pair of angry eyes that was pointing at him.
“Baka! If you want to dance, then just perform by yourself!” Riku finally let out what he wants to say.
“Yeah! Riku is right! We’re definitely not going to dance!” Kai blurted out.
“and Shachou, why do we need to perform that song instead of performing our own song?!” Kai said, but their platypus Shachou just gave him a smile. A smile that looks like she’s having a plan. A plan that he will never be liked.
“Just sit back and relax boys. I have my list here ok? And you’re going to perform one of our own song” Shachou tried to calm the three members.
“And also, you’re not going to dance like them. Seeing you guys dancing is ……… Oh nevermind” Everyone sighed in relief except for Kuu who is really disappointed on it.
“And for the last song, you’re going to perform …….” Shachou continued and make it a bit suspense. Everyone is now looking at her excitedly. Each of them is now guessing what will it be, they can’t choose a song that their Shachou like, because they already have plenty of songs.
“Hurry Shachou! What it is? Don’t you see that we’re all excited about it?!” Kai said in an excited but annoyed voice.
“Relax midget! So here it is, you’re going to perform the best among the rest! The ‘Give me Five!!’ ”.
The platypus said happily as she expected that everyone will like it. But she’s wrong. Definitely wrong. Everyone widened their eyes specially Kai as they heard the title. They are now giving an ‘Oh no’ and ‘Are you fine?’ look at Kai who is still unable to move because of shock.
“So I guess this is the end of our meeting. I’ll just announce through e-mail about the other details and when will you practice. You can go now or stay or do whatever you want now. See you later.” Shachou and Marilyn take their leave as they didn't receive any reply from the members.
“Do you think it’s ok for them, specially to Kai to perform that song? They really look worried about it”. Marilyn asked when they stepped out in the room.
“I’m sure about it. This will be exciting and it will cause positively ….. I guess” Shachou said in a serious voice. Both of them leaved in front of the Music club’s room.
“Why? Why did she choose that song? That's the song that we composed before she leaved and also the last song that she performed with me. Does shachou have a plan or this is just what she wants? And what …. What am I feeling right now? Why does my heart aches again? I’m sure that this isn’t only about the song …. It’s also about ‘her’. Kai paused from his thoughts and looked down. “I thought I already forgot about her, about her being in my life, about my feelings to her. After 1 and a half year that she didn’t contact me. I wonder how she is right now. I miss her". Kai looked at the item that is hanging on his phone which have an initials of ‘KA'.
Everyone is still worried at the blond midget. They all move closer to him as Riku patted his shoulders.
“Are you ok? We know that … hmm …”
“I’m ok. Don’t worry about me. I just didn’t expect it”
Kai smiled but the others knew that he was not ok. They really know when Kai was telling a truth or not. He really failed in lying.
“Yeah right! Just pretend that we’re convinced on that smile” Mariko rolled her eyes.
"Ano..... Kai. hmm. We really don't know what happened between you and Acchan. we just know that she left you on that day but we really don't know the reason why she did that". Everyone looked at Kuu who suddenly became serious. All of them nod to agree on what Kuu said. They also want to know the reason behind the sadness of Kai on that day.
Kai sighed as he received a look of 'please tell us' from them. He thinks that this maybe the right time to tell them about it since they're also Acchan's friends.
"Oh! I remember! Tell us also why you're in the clinic with the Diva on that day instead of meeting on the right time with 'her'. Are you doing something. ... You know". Kuu grined; now he's back in insane mode. Everyone is now have a grinning look towards the midget.
"Owh. So you're cheeting. That's maybe the reason why 'she' left you. such a little playboy" Riku said while still grinning at the blond.
"O-o-of course not! I'm not cheeting with her! I just helped the Diva" Kai said while blusing. Everyone laugh as they noticed the red face of Kai. He really look like a tomato right now.
"You're not 'cheeting' huh? so that means that you're together! that both of you were dating before!" Tomochin emphasized the word 'cheeting' and thought that maybe the two were really dating since they were really close before. very close.
Once again, they grinned at Kai and then laugh harder when they noticed the face of the blond is getting redder and redder.
"Shut up! We’re just. ........... Friends" Kai frowned and looked again on the thing that is attached on her phone. 'Yeah just friends' Kai whispered to himself.
Everyone stopped laughing when they saw the sad look of Kai. They know that he's telling the truth now; that they're just friends. Only friends.
"Cheer up Kai. Are you going to tell what really happened between you and her or not?" Rena said. She really wants to know about it.
-Flashback- It was a rainy day and almost all of the students left early after the band’s performance. It’s only the teachers and us stayed in the campus. Here I am, waiting for her at our secret meeting place. I wonder what she’s going to say to me. I she going to …… Or probably not. What am I thinking? We’re just friends. I’m getting nervous and intrigue at the same time. What if she’s really mad at me? She’s avoiding me these past few days.
Kai’s thoughts were spreading faster as he think of so many ifs on his mind. He really don’t know what to do then suddenly he was stopped from thinking when he heard a familiar voice.
“Sorry for waiting you. It’s because of the heavy rains so I’m late”
The girl smiled to apologize. Kai’s heart and body felt stunned when he saw that angelic face and the cute smile of the girl but he was immediately interrupted from his thoughts when he noticed that the girl was a bit wet because of the rain.
“You should’ve called me so you don’t need to come here and I’ll go to you instead” Kai said while he puts his jacket onto the girl’s shoulder.
“Here, take my jacket”. They both sat on a couch while holding each other’s hand to feel the warm of it. For a few minutes, the presence of the silence was surrounding them, only the sounds of the heavy rain outside can be heard; they didn’t know what to say. Then Kai broke the silence by asking a question,
“Why are you avoiding me these days?”
The girl didn’t expect that this guy will ask a question directly. “Ano … It’s because I’m confused. I really don’t know what to do”
“Confused? About what?”
The girl didn’t answer and said something.
“I’m going to say something important that’s why I asked you to come here”
“So what it is? I really don’t get it. Why you’re acting like this. What’s the problem?” Kai said in a bit irritated tone.
‘What’s the problem? Don’t you know that I’m really suffering these days when you’re avoiding me? I’m not used to it’ Kai said to himself as he looked directly into the eyes of the girl in front of him and held each other’s hand tightly.
The girl noticed it. She had no choice, she need to say it to Kai, now.
“Kai ….. I’ll leave this town soon. Maybe in the next two days” Kai didn’t know what to say. He just stared at the girl in front of him with a ‘why?’ face.
“We have a family problem now. Remember the disaster that happened last week? It really affected our family properties and businesses. My mom contacted me yesterday, she said that I need to go back home to help them. I don’t know how long it will last”. The girl added while a tear is now forming on her eyes.
“I’ll go with you. I want to help you and your family” Kai said while wiping the tears from the girl.
“Baka! You don’t need to go with me. I can handle it. Just stay here, focus on your studies and take care of our Band” The girl tapped Kai’s forehead.
“But …..”
“No buts. This is final, you’ll stay here. Ok?” The girl interrupted Kai and immediately checked her pocket and pull out a keychain.
“Here. Take this so you can remember me even though I’m far from you” the girl took Kai’s hand to give it.
“Eh? What’s this letters? KA? KA … KA … KA …” Kai continued and trying to guess the meaning of it while the girl looked at him in a confused look.
“KA .. KA .. KA .. Oh don’t tell me it’s KA-menohashi?! I thought you want me to remember you by this? But why it’s about our Platypus adviser?!” Kai exclaimed and confused.
“Mou~ Kai! I thought you’ve guessed the meaning of it! The K is for Kai and A is for Atsuko! You’re …….. so slow” Atsuko pouted and turned back.
“Owh ….. gomen. I .. I … I really don’t know. I’m being stupid again” Kai looked down and face-palm himself in his mind.
‘I’m being stupid again. How come I didn’t get it?!’ Kai thought and was interrupted by his inner Kai.
‘It’s because you’re slow. Just like what Atsuko said’.
‘Owh shut up. You’re not helping me’.
There was a silence in between of them ……. Again.
“Acchan …. I’m sorry ok? If I’m being stupid and …..” Kai didn’t finish his words when he turned Acchan to face him; he saw the angelic face, crying silently.
‘Oh no! what am I going to do now?! I made her cry. Stupid Kai! Baka! Baka!’ Kai said to himself and was interrupted again by his inner Kai.
‘I’m glad that you know about it. Congratulations!’
Kai ignored his inner self and just wiped the tears from the girl. “Please Acchan, Don’t cry. I’m really sorry about that thing”.
Atsuko cupped Kai’s cheeks and said, “It’s ok. I really don’t mind about it. It’s just …………….. I will miss you so much”.
“Acchan ……”
Both of them were just looking directly at the eyes; their faces are just centimeters away from each other. Heavy rains continued to fell outside but they’re not bothered about it. They just want to feel each other’s presence. A few minutes had passed and they’re still in the same position. When Atsuko blinked in just a milliseconds, Kai leaned forward and kissed her. Atsuko felt the midget’s warm lips touched on hers; she was shocked and didn’t know what she’s feeling right now. Then later on, when she saw Kai’s eyes were closed and just feeling her lips, she decided to answer back Kai’s kisses.
‘Way to go midget!’ Kai’s inner self said to him.
Kai ignored again his inner self and just focused on the girl that he’s kissing. He slowly put his hands on the girl’s back and laid her down to the couch without breaking the kiss that they were sharing. Both of them didn’t notice their position; Kai is now on top of Atsuko. The girl pulled the blond guy closer to deepen their kiss. Kai stopped for a while when he felt Acchan’s tongue touched his lips and waiting for a confirmation to enter. The blond continued as he opened his mouth and now they’re battling for dominance. Kai didn’t know why he can’t control himself; his hands are now going to unbutton Acchan’s uniform. He slowly unbuttoned the first one …… then the second …. But when he’s about to unbutton the third one, they heard a thud that comes from the trash bin which is obviously fell from the ground. They saw a guy who ran away from it; the guy was also having a blond hair.
Both of them immediately stood up and fixed themselves; they didn’t know if that person saw everything that they did. After that incident, they just remained silent and as usual, they didn’t know what to say; they’re afraid that they might have a face that is red as a tomato. Atsuko stand up and ready to go home when she noticed that the rain was already done from falling. She was stopped by Kai who immediately grabbed her hand.
“We better go home now before the rain starts to fall again. See you tomorrow” Atsuko smiled at Kai and leaved him alone.
Kai knew that it was indeed a fake smile. He can see in their Ace’s eyes that she’s afraid and scared. But scared of what?
“I’m sorry Acchan for doing those things to you but it’s not only you who’s afraid when someone caught us doing it’” Kai whispered to himself.
“Aaaaaarrrggghh~ !!! What I’ve done??!! I might lose our friendship! Not now when she’s going to leave!!” Kai screamed and continued to blame himself.
TBC ...
