OS Fics indexToo lazy to write a long note
but here goes..FOREVERYear 2017 where Japan’s music industry is soaring up high all over the world, a girl group was leading this success for how many years now.
Despite on those success fans never forget how they started performing in a small theater in Akihabara striving so much until they got what they have now.
“Konbanwa minna sama! Tonight we are having a very special guest, when I mean special its very special and I know all of you knows her very well..” Esumi Makiko as the host.
“Please welcome! I really miss this girl Takahashi Minami!” The host introduces her.
Takamina walked down and bows her head greeting Esumi and the audience”It’s been a long time see you Makiko san..” showing her cutest dimples ever.
“Please be seated Minami san, Ah how I miss talking to you it’s been such a long time since we talk like this at Kayou kyoku show” Esumi holds the young girl’s hand dearly.
“Kayou kyoku days was fun and I learned a lot from that show” Takamina exclaimed.
“So you missed hosting?” Esumi asked.
“Yes.. I miss it so much the feeling that you’re asking someone random questions and as a host their answers excites you”
“I’m sorry Takahashi san that you can’t experience that again because tonight I’ll be the one who’s gonna ask you some questions and I’ll be the one too who will get excites by your answers ” Esumi laughs.
“I’m a bit nervous now” Takamina place her palms on her cheeks.
“You didn’t change at all Takahashi or shall I address you as General Manager at the same time a soloist singer your profession is a bit multitasking. How you handle this?” Esumi starts the question.
“At first it was really complicated but somehow I’m getting used to it now, I’m still the Takamina you knew Esumi san” both laughed.
“This is the first time I interviewed you because we can’t find a perfect timing on your hectic schedule, so tell me how does it feel still being in akb all throughout these years?”
“It feels great the awesome feeling is still there the only difference is I can’t perform anymore together with them. The younglings are so energetic and I’m really happy on that me and the management are making sure that they will maintain the foundation we created for the past years” Takamina answered it seriously.
“Was the bond of the graduated members still there?”
“Hai hai..still there..”
“So you girls meet up in your spare time?”
“Yes we do mostly on special occasions it’s like a reunion every time we meet..They do have their own career too so we are all busy and we cannot meet always and when we meet it’s just like the old days we’re still childish in odd ways” The former captain smiles as she reminisce the moments they had before.
“Also I know this kinda late but I’d like to congratulate you for your latest single that hits the oricon”
“Arigatou Esumi san..I’m lucky because my single and akb’s single didn’t release at the same week” She chuckled.
“We prepared a small surprise for you this evening..Onegaishimasu watch this..”
Video footage (What can you say about Takahashi Minami)Shinoda Mariko “
That ribbon girl was always serious about her work and I’m happy that she never changes since the day we met way back before” laughs “I sound so old now”
Kojima Haruna “
Ah Takamina was always the leader for me although we’re on the same generation before in the group we always rely on her leadership she’s just so responsible and I hope will inherit that”
Itano Tomomi “
I will always remember Takamina as Acchan’s partner they’re the pillars that support AKB to stand stronger”
Minegishi Minami “
She never disappointed the group and I’ve witnessed her struggles when Acchan graduated but she remained strong for the team”
Oshima Yuko “
Takahashi Japan! She really fulfilled her dream ne..I’m glad she’s still part of akb that gave us an assurance..Chotto is this gonna be shown to her?”
Camera man “
Hai Oshima san”
Yuko “
Oi Takamina! Don’t worry you’ll see her in our reunion performance!”
Those words made her cry as her tear glands never change still as active like before but Yuko’s last words made her stunned. Takamina POV “
Aggh Yuko even in video message you still teasing me”
“That’s so intriguing you really do miss Acchan” The host taunt her a bit.
She smile and answers the question “..We all do..”
“Gomene we tried to reach her but eventually when we do that certain footage Acchan was not in the country and we cannot phone patch her as well”
“Daijoubu desu I know how busy she is..” She curves her lips downward.
"But.."
“In this show we always make our guest happy, I know you really really miss this person please welcome Maeda Atsuko desu!” Esumi stand up and welcome the girl with a warm hand. Takamina clears her throat as she slowly shifts her head towards the girl’s direction.
So many questions running to her mind right now.
Did she do this on purpose? When did this girl arrive? Where is she when I called her yesterday? Why didn’t she tell me that she’ll be in this show too? Atsuko you making my heart go crazy right now you don’t have an idea how surprised I am..
“Minami..” The girl called her name.
“A..Atsuko..” She immediately stand and bow but she froze when her former colleague kiss her on her left cheek as a greeting.
“Samishii katta desu” Acchan smiled and look at her straight in the eyes.
The small girl blush and stayed silent for a while her eyes were pinned on the girl next to her. She just regains her consciousness when Esumi snap her out “Minami san daijoubu?” The former ace looks at her too worrying.
“hahahaha” She laughs “Hai daijoubu desu! I was just thinking of something.. Good thing were in the middle of commercial break” she fake her smile but deep inside she was so nervous. “
Baka Minami why you’re so nervous it’s just her!” she argued with her own thoughts.
“So I believe you two were always hanging up together right?” Esumi
“…Actually that’s the opposite..” Takamina abruptly answered it. “Atsuko is very hard to catch..” she continued.
“But whenever I got a time or when I have an off I always get to them, eventually this year my schedule is so tight and I missed lots of gatherings and occasions with them..” Acchan explained.
“I’m kinda excited to the next question..” Esumi giggles.
“Eh?” Acchan
“Nani?” Takamina
“Since you two were not in AKB anymore so that means you’re free from the love banned law..You can date anyone you like now right? So is there someone special already? To the both of you?”
Takamina smiling so much in shyness that Esumi notice it “Takahashi must have a special someone ne? Would you like to share?” The host jokingly whispered to her as if they’re the only one there.
“Hahaha Esumi san..” The smaller girl laughs and shifted her eyes to Acchan who’s looking at her also waiting for her to answer the question. “
Why is she looking at me like that..Atsuko don’t pretend that you don’t know anything..” POV
“..I do have a special someone..” This time Takamina’s smile is serious while Maeda was still silent looking at her.
“Honto desu?! Then you’re saying you two were together now?” Esumi was astonished by the general manager’s confession.
“Is it..the same person as before?” Acchan broke her silence.
Before Takamina could answer Esumi interrupted her “So Maeda san knows about this..” She was amused by the sudden question of the former ace.
Takamina didn’t answer Acchan’s question because the host is now busy giving a follow up question and this time she pointed out the actress. “Of course I won’t let Maeda escape this question, how’s your relationship status?”
She rolled her eyes and smile sweetly “mmm…I’m in a relationship..”
BANG! Like a headshot but straight to the heart she bitted her lower lips and made a down curve to it. “
I wish you didn’t appear here as a surprise guest if I will only knew about this thing, how could you say that..I confessed to you before and you didn’t even answered and now you just blurted that easily in front of me..” she force herself think of happy moments so that her tears won’t roll down, an awkward feeling she has now, she wants to back out, she wants to shout and cry so hard, she wants to end the show, go home quickly and lock herself on her room.
After a few more talks the show ended. Acchan observes the girl’s sudden change of mood being silent and not even looking at her walking all the way straight to the dressing room grabbing her things up hurrying to go out in the building. She followed the shorter girl behind and attempts to catch her speed.
“Minami wait up!” She half shouted.
She didn’t reply even a glance but just continue to walk as fast as she can.
“Takahashi Minami! I said wait up!” her second try failed again that made her run and grab her former captain’s wrist. “Minami?? What’s wrong?” she stunned as she saw her crying hard in silent.
“..and..now you’re asking what’s wrong?” her voice is shaking.
“Minami…”
“The day I confess to you…Why didn’t you answer? At least answer me with a yes or no..but you did not..for almost two dim-witted years I’ve waited..Hoping that you’ll answer me..But I’m so stupid thinking that way!”
“The day you confess before I flew off to shoot a movie was the most memorable day of my life..I didn’t answer you and that’s my fault..because I’m not sure if I like you as my friend or I like you more than that..”
“Now I know you’re answer..”
“It’s not what you think Minami..I’m glad you’ve waited..To be honest I was scared going back knowing that you found someone to be with..and I’m hoping it’s not too late..”
“Why you saying this? You just said you’re in a relationship..”
“Uhn..I’m in a relationship..with you..I just declared it to myself..because this time I want to be the one who shall ask you if you still want me..as my best half.. Anata ga daisuki desu..” She beamed confessing and lean her forehead against her. “Now I want you answer general manager..”
Takamina continues to cry but this time she’s smiling “I dislike your surprises you always want to see me cry before telling me the fine news..” she move her face upward to capture the taller girls lips. “That’s for making me wait..” kiss her again and bite softly Atsuko’s lower lips. “That’s for making me cry..” Making the girl froze by her kisses she dip her lips once more and suck it again before she pulled out. “and that’s for my answer.. daisuki..” blushing like a ripe tomato while they hold each other’s hands.
“Minami..by the way..I already sent out my baggage to your apartment..” She smirks.
“Ha? Atsuko you did really prepare on this? What if the situation goes on the opposite way?”
“I don’t think so..because I’m so confident that atsumina will be forever..”
Making each other’s heart filled with happiness at that night. Though they’ve separated, they’ve graduated and have different careers still the acquaintance remained and even build a new strong base in their relationship.
THE ENDme and my not so good engrish
