After being a silent reader all the time, finally i have a courage to post my own fan fiction. Sorry for the typos and grammar mistakes :D
Sudden Wonderland
Chapter I
Sit on the rotten bench in the small veranda of her apartment there is Matsui Jurina with earphone plugged in her ear playing some sappy love songs and laptop on her lap, enjoying summer breeze gently blowing her hair. This is her favorite, mid summer wind in the night while the temperature is not too hot and not too cold. Feeling lack of idea of the work she was doing, she glanced at messenger icon at the corner of her laptop screen. A smile appeared in her face as she saw an online icon of someone she want to talk the most. Matsui Rena.
Jurina intended to click the call button beside Rena’s username but seems Rena can read her mind from the middle of somewhere, incoming call notification appeared in Jurina’s screen.
“Hello, Rena” said Jurina happily while fixing her earphone
“Hey Jurina, I have good news for you. You’re gonna freak out when you hear this”
“Spill it, Matsui. Im good”
“are you free this weekend?” Rena asked her
“Umm..let me see..still no plans, I don’t know if something suddenly come up. You know, you’re talking with a popular girl here” Jurina blew her bangs playfully
“Ah,is that so? Too bad, you just lose a chance to meet me”
“Eh? What do you mean?”
“Im going back to Japan for work, but it’s just for a week. I have free time on weekend. Wanna meet?”
“Im not gonna fall for your prank again Rena. Last time you said you wanna meet, I ended up ‘meet’ the human-size photo of yours outside my apartment door on my birthday” Jurina yawn fakely expressing she’s not really interested, she think it’s just Rena playing prank on her
“Hey…you still not over that? You must be really wanna meet me, do you? How cute..im sorry I cant make it last time, my schedule got changed at the last minute. But im serious right now” Rena said her apology.
Two years ago she promised to visit Jurina on her birthday but she couldn’t make it because of work. Meeting Rena..it’s like a dream come true. No, she’s not a celebrity, idol, or any popular people. She’s Matsui Rena, a girl Jurina know from the internet six years ago, a girl who shared last name with her, someone…that Jurina secretly fall in love with for five years.
“MATSUI RENA ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!! OF COURSE I’LL CANCEL ALL OF MY PLANS JUST TO MEET YOU !!” Jurina shouting almost histerically, she’s like that when she’s overly excited about something.
“Calm down Jurina, you know I wanna meet you so bad, I wanna make sure you’re not an old man that disguising to be teenage girl to lure another girl into your trap” Rena giggled, amused by Jurina’s antic.
“Seriously, you should stop watching those cheap dramas” Jurina shake her head in disbelief
“By the way, it’s midnight here and I just finished packing my stuffs. I have an early morning flight tomorrow, so I must off to bed right now. Good night, Jurina”
“Rena wait ! take responsibility !” She sulk
“For what?”
“For make me overly excited to meet you, I don’t think I can sleep tonight”
“Really…this kid, Don’t you dare to stay up late night again Jurina ! you told me you didn’t get enough sleep last week and you had an anemia, I don’t want to take care of sick person on my so-called-holiday” Rena scolding
“Don’t worry Rena, you’ll have a great day in lovely city with lovely weather and of course with this lovely person. Im still going to finish few drawings for tomorrow’s presentation and I will go to bed when it done, please take care of yourself, and have a safe flight tomorrow, good night.” With that, their conversation on the phone ended. Smile creep on both their faces, they cant wait to meet each other
*****
Actually I don’t understand what is my relationship with Rena, we often share our stories and the worries, we have lot of things in common, flirt each other sometimes, comforting each other when we’re having problems. It’s beyond friends, but we’re not lovers. i don’t know what kind of relationship is this, it’s like we have a strong bond even though we haven’t met yet. Yes, me Matsui Jurina and Matsui Rena just communicating thru the phone, text, or skype for six years…it’s long enough to know each other isn’t it?
It’s because Rena live overseas, she’s originally from Nagoya but after finished her highschool she study abroad. After graduated from college she work for a travel magazine as a journalist.
What’s the strange here is,me. Im in love with her from the very first I hear her voice on the phone. How can you fall in love with person you never meet before? Love at the first sight is too mainstream, love at the first call sounds kinda…edgy?
The feel when I hear her voice is undescribeable. It’s so soothing hearing her giggling adorably when I told my jokes which is completely fail on other people…I don’t know maybe it’s just her pity on me, well if it’s right I don’t mind. Also I felt my heart sank when she called me, crying because of her silly quarrel with her boyfriend. Sometimes she’ll call me in the middle of the night just to hear her crying her heart out. I don’t know how to comfort a crying girl on the phone properly, if only I could hug her at the time like that but we’re separated thousand miles away, so all I can do is tell my silly jokes and comforting words until she feel better. Though I have an important exam or meeting in the morning I don’t mind being bothered in the middle of the night like that, as long as she happy. You know, being in love is unreasonable.
At first I don’t understand what is this feeling, I thought it’s just me feel so comfortable with her as an older sister. But day by day it’s growing bigger. I start to incredibly lonely when she’s not texting me, im dying to know how her day was, im dying to hear her voice everyday. It’s more obvious when she told me a boy from her childhood come to her life and make her distancing herself from me, and found myself didn’t like that.
Im jealous.
I want her, for myself only.
At that time, I realize that my feeling for her is more than in sisterly way. I love her.

Dear everyone, thank you for the comments and the good responses :bow: Im really happy ! Oh and thanks to the silent readers too.
By the way, here's the second chapter :D
Chapter II
Monday morning never as bright as today, Jurina wake up and stretch happily. Taking shower, and getting into her work attire. A jeans, semi-formal blue shirt, and vest. She tied her hair into ponytail, and rechecked her look for few times in the mirror.
“Darn Jurina ! you’re really cool today, Rena will totally fall for you !” she said to herself while motioning a ‘bang’ pose
“Pfft ! Dream on~ she has a boyfriend, she’ll just be your older sister forever, Forever.” Another Jurina in the mirror said sarcastically.
She shrug off two Jurinas in the mirror, packed things and go to the office.
Jurina is a creative director assistant at an advertising company so no need to wear any formal attire like an office lady since most of people in the office are wearing jeans and tshirts.
Arrived at the office, Jurina already find her Boss playing with plane miniature inside her cubicle.
“What are you doing here, Boss?” Jurina said with deadpan voice
“Is that the way you greet your Boss in the morning? Where’s the storyboard I want you to draw for today’s meeting? You said you’ll sent to me before weekend?” The Boss crossed her arms on her chest
“Okay, im sorry. Good morning,Boss ! and please stop being shitty Boss, Mayu. Thanks to you I spent my beautiful Saturday morning with bad hangover because your post-heartbreak drinking party or whatever”
“Really? That bad? Sorry, I cant found any silly companion except you. Hahaha” Mayu laughed
“Im sure you didn’t remember you blabbering about alien resurrection, big-worm Alaska invasion, and flying alpacas is waiting you outside the bar. You really talked nonsense when you’re drunk, huh? I thought you’re cured from your eight-grader syndrome. The worst part is I had to piggy-back you home and as a thank you….you puked on my favorite jacket” Jurina said and rolled her eyes at Mayu
“Aww..you were piggy-backing me home? My baby J is so sweet~” She stood from the chair then pinched Jurina’s cheek forcefully
“Just don’t tell anyone how worst my state when im drunk last time, it’s really awful. That big nose bitch will pay it later for cheating behind me” Mayu said fiercely, still pinching Jurina’s cheek
“Stop it Mayu ! it hurts ! you’re lucky im in a good mood today, just don’t ruin it. And here’s the drawing. I will send you the file via email, if you need something to revise just let me know. For now, please go back to your office, I cant use my pc if you sit on my desk like that” Jurina handed the drawing pack tube to Mayu and shoo-ing her.
“You’re such a great assistant, J ! You’re in a good mood? Is something happen? Are you and Annin finally go out and spent the night together?” Mayu teased, wriggling her eyebrows playfully
“Can you watch your mouth when talking about Annin ?! Im not into office affairs, Mayu ! Im just fooling around, it was just my silly crush back in college, geez !” Jurina whispered between her gritted teeth, while looking around hope someone didn’t eavesdropping their conversation.
“Tsk, Jyuri…baby…all you gotta do is just ask her out ! im sure she’ll definitely say yes, that hottie is undoubtedly had a crush on you too”
“No is a no, Mayu. How many times do I have to tell you that I already have someone I like”
“Ah ! She’s here ! Good morning, Anna-san” Mayu wave her hand cheerfully to Iriyama Anna or people usually called Annin. A senpai from Jurina’s college, one of Excecutive Manager in their company, a company darling because of her brilliant intelligence and goddess-like beauty.
“Good morning Mayu, Jurina. Looks like you two have a good vibe this morning, had a nice weekend?” Annin stopped at Jurina’s cubicle.
“Yeah, and actually Jurina have something to tell you” Mayu said bluntly
Jurina shot a ‘what-are-you-fckin-doing-watanabe!’ glare to Mayu and stomped her foot on Mayu’s. Mayu winced in pain.
“Uh..ano..Annin, um…you know about the energy crisis issue, right? It’s getting worse nowadays…and um.. why don’t we make a ‘Reduce Your Energy Consumption at Work’ movement among us, the employee. You know, like turn off the light after use the toilet..or else? Hehe” Jurina broke into sweat, rubbing the back of her neck awkwardly, squezzing her brain finding a topic and came out with a silly idea. Mayu stifled her laughter beside her.
“Huh? Sure, it’s a good idea. I’ll write it down on my agenda and discuss with other in the next meeting with management. By the way, I have to excuse myself to my office now. Have a good day, you two” Annin smiled and continue walk to her office.
“energy crisis, huh? Can you find another silly topics than that?” Mayu laughed
“Shut. Up. Watanabe. Go back to your office now before I choke you to death” Jurina Snap
“Okay, okay. Seriously Jurina, your panic face is so amusing. By the way, get your ass ready for the next presentation. It’s a big project, the clients will be here in an hour” Mayu stiffled her laugh then slap Jurina’s butt on her way back to her office.
***
Watanabe Mayu is a senpai from college that happened to be my boss here. We’re very close because we’re in the same club in the college, and she also help me with my final project back then. She’s the one who help me when i moved to Tokyo a year ago. Though she’s two years older than me people often mistook that i am the older because she has that cute-highschool-girls-like face, but believe me there is an old man inside her soul. She is a butt-obsessed pervert, a delusional otaku ( she still have an eight-grader syndrome sometimes ), and big fan of the strange-flavored candy named Pelollipop ( that candy has strange flavors e.g : Curry, miso, dried fish, etc ). But behind her minus behavior she’s a caring person, great partner at work, and senpai that I respect.
Iriyama Anna or I called her Annin is also a senpai from college, she’s my boss’s boss. If I could describe her in simple sentence, it would be : Goddess in Human Form. She’s an honor student during her college life and graduated with magna cumlaude. Her beauty? She’s beautiful inside and outside, I mean she’s kind and friendly to everyone. No wonder if I ever had a crush on her when I was in college…come on who’s not? And until now Mayu still tease me about that. It’s just my admiration towards a cool senpai like Annin, there’s no way I would date someone like her, she’s out of my league.
It’s still fifteen minutes before the meeting begin, i recheck the documents and few things for the meeting. We have an important client here, a Japanese Curry Restaurant chain. If this project is deal, we will handle the campaign of their new franchise across the country. The meeting goes smoothly, i presented my concept confidently and guess what? They like my idea with using a popular idol group as an ambassador for the campaign. Smile never left my face this entire afternoon, as the meeting ended people congratulate me one by one.
“Uwaaa project leader ! congratulations, Kid ! here give me a hug” Mayu run towards me and give me a bear hug
“Thanks, Mayu. Finally i get my first project after a year. And they also choose me as the project leader too ! oh my god im so happy, i feel like crying now !” Im so happy, i couldn’t hold my tears.
“Dont get so full of yourself, you still have a long way to go. We still have a long way to go. And I don’t think it will be easy in the future. If you need any help, you know where to find me” Mayu said while patting my back.
“I have a great senpai here, she will help me through any problems” I smile sweetly, though she’s annoying sometimes…she’s a senpai I respect the most.
“Aww..such a smooth talker kid ! by the way I have to fix few arrangements on my office, could you fetch me something for lunch?”
“The same as usual? Okay, I’ll buy you some on my way back. Im heading now, see you Boss” And I excuse myself for lunch.
I go to the cafeteria with few comrades while randomly chat about anything. In cafeteria, people from my division still congratulate me for my first project, and it’s a big project. I feel very shiny right now. Then something buzzing inside my jeans pocket, it’s a mail from Rena.
From : R
To : J

Rena
So she's already in Japan right now, i'll give her a call.
“Hello,it’s Matsui Rena speaking”
“Hey moyashi princess ! how’s your day?”
“Really, I feel like an old hag right now with all this muscles sore I realized im not that young anymore” Rena sighed, but happiness cant be hidden from her voice
“You’re obviously an old hag, Rena-chan ! by the way, did you already meet your parents?”
“Hey, im just 26 ! yeah, we just had a lunch outside. It’s feels really nice walking around your hometown after few years. How’s the presentation? any good news? ”
“Well..if you want a good news it can’t be helped..i’ll give you one. We got that project, and guess what…Matsui Jurina is the project leader” I puffed my chest and said proudly though im talking thru the phone.
“Project Leader?! Congratulations Jurina ! I know you can make it ! My precious little sister is always the best” Rena beamed
“Thank you…hey, my friend is waiting me for the lunch. I’ll call you again later,okay? Have good day in Nagoya, and see you...very soon” I hang up our conversation and smile bitterly.
Rena’s precious little sister, huh?

Chapter III
The past few days were really hectic for Jurina, who was so busy with her latest project. She had a sleepover at Mayu’s house and ask for Mayu’s help to start the first phase of her project.
“Here, we have to make this part more simple. Please put your idealism aside. I'm sure this is a great idea to catch the public’s attention. Just make a simple version of this.”
They’re in Mayu’s room debating for some idea for the CM.
“Seriously Mayu, I'm squeezing my brain out for this and yet there's still lots of mistakes here and there. I'm afraid I’ll embarrass myself in front of my team, they’re all seniors like you.” Jurina sighed and rested her head on the desk.
“I said this is not going to be easy but, you’ll have me help you anytime you need. All you need now is go grab a drink somewhere or maybe ask someone for a date. It’s the weekend, don't you have plans?” Mayu stood from her bed and patted Jurina’s head.
“Weekend? Plan? Oh Shit !” Jurina jerked up from her previous position, she mentally face palmed herself for being busy this whole week and have completely forgotten that tomorrow she will meet Rena.
“What? Missed something?”
“It’s Rena. I will meet her tomorrow. I should buy something good to wear. Since, first impressions are important, right? But... It’s already 8 p.m, I can't make it to department store and I'm too tired to go shopping.” Jurina grabbed her bag and lazily put her things in it.
“Rena? Your mysterious princess? I can't believe you still kept in touch with her all these years. So you will finally meet her tomorrow you? How do you feel?” Mayu sat on the chair beside Jurina, interest glimmered in her eyes. Jurina stopped what she was doing, leaned back on the chair and stared blankly at the ceiling.
“You know, my heart is in such a mess right now. If I were a firework, I could explode anytime now because of the excitement.”
“Im curious what kind of person she is. Wait… Don’t tell me she’s someone you like??”
“Mayu…Is it that obvious?” Jurina’s eyes still glued to the ceiling, lost her thoughts somewhere.
“Oh my god, Jurina. How come? You haven’t meet her before, what if she’s not the person like you imagined?” Mayu crossed her arms and looked at Jurina with disbelief.
“Imagined? Your statement makes me sound like someone who needs psychological treatment.” Jurina snap from her train of thoughts and looked at Mayu, one brow raised.
“Is this also the reason why you rejected the few girls I set for you on every mixer party?”
“Partly yes, but, it’s not the main reason. I'm just not in the mood for a new relationship during those times.” Jurina said, sounding guilty.
“So, did you already tell her about your feeling? I mean...confessed?”
“Confess? there’s no way I can confess to her. It will risk our friendship and I'm sure she’ll run away from me. She’s so damn straight, Mayu.” Jurina ran her fingers through her hair, a habit she has when frustrated.
“How do you know if she’s straight? Have you asked her?”
“No,but she has a boyfriend and they’ve been dating for years.” Jurina smiled bitterly
“Pfft, I have a lot of gay friends and they also have a heterosexual relationship to fool people, to fool society, to look normal. You never know until you confess, Jurina”
“So, what should I do? What if she rejects me?”
“Confess of course ! What if she rejects you? Move on and find someone else. Rejection is the risk of confessions, at least she will know how you feel.” Mayu patted the younger girl's back and smiled.
“What about you? Are you already over Kashiwagi Yuki? Have you found someone else?” Jurina asked, hitting the bull's eye.
“Don’t divert the topic, silly !” Mayu flicked Jurina’s forehead and frowned. Leaving her junior laughing hysterically, amused with her friend’s act.
“Well... I will think about the confession. I hope tomorrow goes well. Oh, It’s getting late, I should go back to my apartment.” Jurina yawned and finally excuse herself from Mayu.
***
After the sleepover on Mayu’s house, I finally went back to my apartment tonight. It’s almost 10 p.m and the last train already departed half an hour ago. Mayu offered to drive me home but I choose to order a cab, it’s dangerous for a girl to drive alone this late anyway.
While I'm on my way home inside the taxi cab, Mayu’s words about confession keep echoing inside my head. I'm contemplating whether I should or not.
What if I confessed then she’s clearly not into girl or same gender relationship ? or maybe the worst..what if she’s homophobic? There’s a 100 % chance she will leave me and maybe hate me. But the other side of me says it’s best to know the truth. Though it may come bitter, it's better than keep on hoping and wondering how she feels about me.
Should I? Or should I not?
It’s really frustrating not be able to tell the one you love that you love her because you are both girls. I think there’s no way my love can be fulfilled. Romantic relationships between girls is such a taboo.
The birds are chirping happily on the branch, the sun shines brightly outside, the day I’ve been waiting for years has come.
I checked my phone and it’s still 7 in the morning. It’s not usual for me to be such an early bird, especially on the weekends. Actually, I barely had some sleep last night so maybe I should apply some makeup to keep the dark circles under my eyes hidden.
I took a train to the park we planned to meet, it’s about 30 minutes from the station near my apartment. Not long after that, I arrived at the park. The park is quite crowded, there are kids running here and there, some elders doing weird body exercise or calisthenics... I don’t know, and people that just sit on the grass enjoying their picnic.
I was wandering around the park, looking for the familiar figure that I knew from my computer screen for years. Too many people here, I should call her.
“Hello?”
“Rena? Where are you? I'm already at the park right now.” I asked as I kept searching.
“Me too ! Just arrived ten minutes ago. Where is your exact spot?”
“Um…I'm standing near the water fountain. It’s on the right side of the jogging track.”
“Water…Fountain? Ah ! I think I can see you, wait there!” She said then she hung up the phone.
I'm looking to the left and the right, still no signs of someone walking towards me. I reached for my phone from my jeans pocket. I was about to call Rena again when suddenly, I felt someone tugging my t-shirt. There she is: egg-shaped face, creepy adorable smile, beautiful dark brown orbs, and the unusual pale white skin with slight blush appear on her cheeks. She's right in front of me.
Matsui Rena.
Clad in a knee-length maroon skirt, same toned blouse top, leather camera bag sling on her shoulder, and wind gently blowing her shoulder-length black hair. Suddenly, I feel everything around me move in slow motion.. I don’t know who just suddenly playing Louis Armstrong’s "What A Wonderful World" as a background music.. Or am I just imagining it?
Everything was just like that perfect scene from the movies.
“Jurina?” She said, waving her hand in front of me, bring me back to reality.
“H-huh?” Still in a daze because of this beauty in front of me. Unable to say something but, only broken syllables were made.
“No hi or hello? It’s me, Rena!”
“Rena-chan? Oh my god ! finally you’re here ! haha of course !” I said with an awkward laugh. I'm usually not this nervous when I meet people for the first time.
“You’re really taller than me, eh? Ah, I'm glad to finally see you! Flesh and blood.” She pulled me into a hug, and the loud thumping of my heartbeat inside went crazy.
This is not good.
The awkward tension melted, and now, we're already chatting comfortably like we usually do. We walked aimlessly around the park, talked about everything and took many photos. I like the way she talks, how she motions her hand while she speaks, how she clap her hands when she laughs to my silly jokes, and how she tugs her hair behind her ear. It’s not the first time I see her facial expression, but well, the digital interaction and real life approach is obviously different. Seeing her angelic face this close is really something.
After getting tired of walking, we decided to rest on the nearby bench under sakura trees. I told her to wait there while I fetch some canned juice and crepes on the shop nearby. After 10 minutes on the queue line, I'm back with two canned juice and two raspberry crepes in my hand.
“What took you so long? Jeez, I'm starving to death here.” She whined like a kid and it made my heart skip a beat. Beside her mature personality, I like this side of her sometimes and makes me want to spoil her.
“Didn’t you see the long queue line over there? Here, catch!” I said, throwing the canned juice in a beautiful arc towards her.
“In this big park with lot of people there’s only two snack bar here? And it’s summer, people sweats and drinks a lot. Of course the queue will be crazy.” Rena kept complaining and talking nonsense.
“You’re really a different person when you’re hungry, huh?” I opened the crepe wrapper and handed the sweet thing to her.
Silence.
For few seconds only sound of Rena munching her food can be heard. I watched her eating happily.
“Mhm… This is good ! You’re not eating?”
“Ah! Yes of course. Watching you eat like this really entertains me haha. Hey, you spilled some cream around your mouth. How clumsy.” I wiped the cream on the right side of her lips with my thumb then licked the cream to clean my thumb.
Again, I don’t know if it’s just my imagination or not but I think her face becomes redder than before.
Don’t tell me… She’s embarrassed?
“Hey you ! D-don’t do that ! I-it’s embarrassing” She slapped me playfully, her face really is redder.
“I like this shy Rena-chan, cute ! hahaha. By the way, how did you easily found me in the middle of the crowd?”
“Your t-shirt. It’s that the t-shirt I gave you last year, right? Not many people here wear that t-shirt since it’s limited edition. And of course your silly face and that middle parted bangs of yours ! haha”
“Sigur Rόs*! This band is my favorite since I listen to the CDs you gave me along with this shirt, this band is amazing. Though I don’t know what they’re singing since it’s on Icelandic language, the music is really,relaxing in mysterious way”
“I told you, they’re amazing. You should listen to their songs while enjoying the beautiful Aurora Borealis there in Iceland. I was literally crying back then, it really is stunning.” She showed me the picture she took on Iceland, the Aurora Borealis phenomenon.
“You’re such a lucky dorky hipster, are you? And you influenced me with your weird taste of music.”
“Discovering new music that not many people listen is somehow satisfying. It makes me feel special, feels like they sing only for me.” Rena explained while continuously taking my photos.
“Hey stop taking my photos only! That's not fair.” I protested and stole the camera from her hand.
“Come on, it’s not everyday I can captured various expressions of Jurina ! If only I could---ah wait I have a phone call.” She rummaged her bag searching for the buzzing phone.
“Hello? Yes? Ah yeah, I already met Jurina here. No, it’s depend on my schedule here. I’ll be back on Tuesday maybe. Un... I know, of course she will! I’ll giving this to her soon. Yeah, take care of yourself. Bye” She hung up the phone.
“Who is it?” I asked.
“It’s Zaki, I told him I'm gonna meet you today and he sent his regards to you.”
Miyazaki, or Zaki as what Rena calls him is her boyfriend. They’ve been dating for three years. As far as I know their relationship is complicated, they often break up then get back together. This happens many times. He often makes Rena cry because of unreasonable things. I don’t know what kept her glued to that man all these years.
“Ah Zaki-san… Send my hello to him too.” I said with bitter smile.
Rena knows me better than anyone else. She knows that I didn't like her boyfriend. She know that I hate him for hurting her multiple times.
She held my hand to reassure and give me that ‘we are okay’ look.
“Actually I wanna give you this. It’s next month… I wish you could be there.” Rena handed a blue colored envelope with few hearts decorated prints . I opened that envelope and suddenly my heart felt like it was stabbed by thousand knives.
It’s written there ‘The Engagement of Matsui Rena and Miyazaki Agata’ engraved in gold colored font.
