CHAPTER 11
From: Sayaka
My dear lazy Yui…
Got time? From: DirtyYui
Nope. Busy dreaming. Go away. From: Sayaka
Yeah right…I know you’re awake.
Meet me at the café in an hour.
From: DirtyYui
I need my beauty sleep darn it!
Can’t this wait another day? From: Sayaka
I really need to talk to you
From: DirtyYui
Talk here then! From: Sayaka
This is typing you dimwit.
Come on I really need you, bestfriend. From: DirtyYui
You’re buying the fabulous Yui her lunch.I let out a sigh as I put the phone in my back pocket, my eyes scanning the room for our members. Seems like everyone is in their own world, especially Milky.
Milky…
How easy did that name came out from my mouth…that she quickly turned her head to my direction.
“Yes?”
“Huh?”
“You called me just now. What is it?”
I did? Darn this mouth! Did I said her name out loud? Damn embarrassing this is!
“Um…uh… Ahaha… I guess I did.” I scratched my head before making my way to her.
Eh?
Okaaay these feet just moved on they’re own I don’t think I own them anymore. Bad feet!
“How are you?” Just smooth, Sayanee… Just smooth.
“I’m good. You?”
“Exactly the way you see me right now.”
“Is that so? I can see you’re not looking so good.”
“Oh? Really? Why’s that?”
“That face.” Miyuki points at my face, “That one face that I don’t like.”
I blinked a couple of times when the memories came floating into my head.
“Ah! I remembered that! The first thing you don’t like about me!”
Miyuki’s contagious giggle is really hard to resist as it got me giggling together with her.
“It’s been a long time since we’ve talked like this.”
Miyuki nods, “Yeah. Just the two of us talking… I really missed this.”
I almost choked on my spit. The words she said were almost the same as her messages. I can see she’s holding her phone, sometimes glancing at it while frowning.
“Waiting for your boyfriend’s reply?”
“No… it’s my friend.” She gave a small forced smile, her hand still clutching the phone tightly. “I guess he’s too busy at the moment.”
“Oh.” I nod my head, all along knowing she’s probably waiting for “Sayaka’s” reply. “What does he do?”
“He’s a singer. Just like you guys.”
“Really? What’s his name?” I pretended like I’m interested in him, whereas it’s the opposite cause hello!!! That person is actually me!
“I don’t know if it’s his real name… It’s Matsui Sayaka.”
“Matsui Sayaka?” Damn it’s confirmed that I am indeed messaging the same person all this time.
“You know him?”
“Well… I think he’s-...”
BUZZ! BUZZ!“Sorry, got a call.”
I nod with a smile, waiting for Miyuki to walk away to answer her phone before releasing a deep sigh. Pheww… Now I know how hard it is to be an actress. Not to mention, I almost involuntarily blew my cover just now.
Just then, Mayu walked out of her office with Yuki in tow. By the looks of it, something is troubling Mayu. I can sense her mood is not the usual cyborg girl. She has that same straight face, the normal one except there’s a bit of tension on her forehead.
Yeah. Mayu is frowning. Like really frowning, I can see the lines appearing on her forehead which is so not like our scary manager.
“Everyone, gather around.”
See? Even her voice is kinda weak. I nudged Yuki as she stood beside me. I jutted my lips in Mayu’s direction, making eye signals to ask about our manager. Yuki, however, starts making beatbox from her mouth, her hands making motion like that of a police traffic. I slammed my hand hard on my face.
“Is there any problem there at the back?”
Mayu pointed at us, but Yuki just whistled like she did nothing wrong. Sometimes, I feel like giving a high kick on her beautiful chin. Just to settle a score for making fun of mine.
“We’re currently waiting for a photographer to arrive. She’ll be making our album cover so I hope you’ll give full cooperation with her.”
“Ano… Mayu-san?” Everyone turn to Rena as she raised her hand.
“Yes?”
“How much longer do we have to wait? We’ve been waiting for an hour, don’t tell me we’re gonna wait for another hour just to meet this photographer? I don’t like to waste my time.”
Whoaaa there… Not just me but I think everyone is having the same reaction as mine. Did Rena just… did she just complained straight on Mayu’s face? That timid Rena? Since when did she have the guts to say something as bold as that?
“Ummm I think we don’t need to wait cause I just heard Milky-san saying sh-...”
“I’m not asking you, Tani.” Rena coldly cut Tani. The latter was rendered speechless. She ducked her head low enough to hide her face behind her bangs.
“She’s not talking to you. She’s talking to everyone.” Jurina suddenly voiced out, ”And I don’t think we have a rule that said anyone need someone’s permission to say anything.”
Jurina keep her stare at Rena, the latter looked away with crossed arms. Okay something is definitely wrong with everyone here. Jurina backing Tani? Now that’s something new...
“Enough.” Mayu said in a low voice. It sounded weak, but enough to catch everyone’s attention. “Milky, where is she?”
“Well…” Milky scratched her head timidly while pointing at the door. “She’s already here.”
All eyes turn to the silent girl standing near the door with a camera slung on her neck. She watched us with wary eyes, her camera on standby as if she’s a paparazzi trying to get a scoop on our band’s everyday life.
“Ehehee…” She bowed a little, greeting herself a bit too loud for everyone’s liking. Wait… where have I seen her?
“I’m Shimazaki Haruka, also known as Paruru!” She greeted before making a yankee stance, “Yoroshiku!”
Ahh… it’s her. Yui’s fangirl.
At the café… I rest a hand under my chin with a bored look, watching as the probably famished Yui scarfing down her lunch without a care of the world.
“Oh god this is so good I’m really glad you asked me to come I can never reject your offer of a free lunch, Sayanee!”
“Just eat. You don’t have to suck me up.”
“I am eating… you don’t have to tell me.” Yui took a gulp of her water as she starts to eat like a polite girl. “So… what’s up?”
“Oh! Did you know? Someone came to our studio~”
“Uhhh I’m not in your band neither was I in your studio. So no?”
“Guess then!”
“I’m not in the mood for guessing games. And I know you’re just trying to avoid the main topic here.”
“Well… it’s your faaangiirl~”
“Pffft!” Yui nearly spit her drink on me. Thank god she’s not a good spitter.
“My fangirl who?”
“Oh you know whooo~”
“Okay she’s not my fangirl and I don’t even know what her problem is and before I strangle you to death, you better tell me what your problem is or else…”
I let out a sigh, contemplating whether I should trust my instinct on asking Yui for my problem. “It’s about…”
“That message girl.”
“Yeah, about her-… Eh?! Wait how did you know?”
“I’m a fortune-teller. What do you expect?” Yui shrugged as she stuffed her already full mouth with another spoonful of food. I just gave her a weird look which managed to make her smirk.
“Dude, I’m your bestfriend. It’s written all over your face.”
I patted my face, touching for any blank ink on my face as Yui rolled her eyes.
“It’s a metaphor, Sayanee... Stop acting like an idiot.”
“Oh.” I cleared my throat. “I know that.”
“What about this message girl… Milky, right? What about this Milky? Is she blackmailing you? Did she accuse you of something? *GASP* Hold on… don’t tell me… you got her PREGNANT?!”
The noisy place suddenly turned quiet as every eyes fall on us.
“Ahahaha very funny Yui!” I gave a strong pat on Yui’s back, my eyes glaring daggers at her while forcing a laugh. “She’s such a joker, this friend of mine!”
SILENCE…
“I’m a GIRL, damn it!”
They all scrutinize me up and down before getting back to their own business. I let out a relieved sigh before smacking Yui’s head.
“OWW! I just recovered from your hit a few days back!”
“I’ll be glad to add another one if you embarrassed me like that again.”
“Okay, okay… sorry!”
“Back to this Milky girl… I think she likes me.”
“EEEEHHH? Why didn’t you say so? I would gladly bring you a congratulatory cake or something to celebrate-“
“YUI! She thinks I’m a guy!”
Again… the place turned silent once more.
“Hahaha! What a funny story, Sayanee!” Yui makes a desperate laugh. smacking the table hard. After the crowds stare away, her face quickly turned into a serious one.
“How the hell did that happened?”
“Well… here goes nothing…”
After 5 minutes...“And that’s what happened…”
Yui keep on staring at me with her indifferent face, probably too shocked to absorb everything I’ve just told her.
“My god… You used Jurina’s name? How lame can that be?!”
I rolled my eyes. Of course, she would picked out the minor details for arguments. “I was desperate at that time! I thought it was just a one time thing. Who knows it got turned into this… I don’t even know what to call this mess! If I know it’s going to turn into this, I wouldn’t have message her in the first place!”
“You are seriously in a deep trouble.”
“Tell me that again…” I bumped my head on the table, not caring if I’m gonna attract another attention from the others. I don’t give a damn anymore considering my life is probably already screwed up.
“Well, even the fab Yuihan is speechless about this. But I can only give you one advice, Sayanee…”
“If it’s not gonna cost me my life, then I’ll take it.”
“Tell her the truth.”
“And what? Got myself ignored and blamed for life by my crush and probably being skinned alive by her cousin? No, thank you!”
“But you can’t just moped around and keep on making excuses to avoid Milky. Just tell her, buddy.”
“Easy for you to say.”
“Look here. I know you never wanted this to happened but this is all your own doing and your own fault. The guilt’s gonna be with you wherever you go, for all of your life. There’s no running away from it unless you face it, pal.”
I look at Yui, her eyes giving me the pity look which I hate the most coming from my bestfriend. Makes me look pathetic and useless.
“Either way, you gotta face Milky and tell her the truth. Tell her your feelings, tell her that Matsui Sayaka is a girl, tell her that the one she’s falling for was you all along.”
“You think everything’s gonna be fine?”
“I can’t guarantee that, but at least you’ve done your part. Trust me, running is too tiring, you’d wish you have a spaceship to Mars.”
“Sounds like someone is having a story of her own.”
“Oh yeah… about that-”
Just as Yui was about to start her freaking magnificent story, a familiar voice greeted us… or more like greeted Yui only.
“Ehhh?! Is that you, Yui-san?”
“Oh, speaking of the devil…” Yui quickly ducked her head behind the thin flower vase. “Hide me, Sayanee! Don’t let her see me!”
“What? Who? What are you…” I turned around, only to quickly copied Yui’s action. “EEP! It’s Milky! I need to run!”
“No! Don’t leave me! Take me with you!”
“B-b-but… They’re alread-...”
“Hey, guys! What are you two doing here?” I turned around with a forced smile as Paruru greet the both of us with Milky waving at us from behind.
“Trying to plan for an escape.” Yui nonchalantly said.
“Huh?” Paruru turn to her, but I quickly intervene.
“N-No! What she’s saying was… uh… We’re trying to plan for…um… her eating disorder! Yeah, that’s it!”
“The heck…?” Yui gave me her icy glare but I dismissed it quickly.
“What are you guys doing here?”
“Oh, Paru saw Yui in here. She started shrieking and jumping like a fangirl, so she dragged me inside.”
“She did, huh?” I glanced at the frowning Yui, a small smirk appearing on my cute face. I think I got something up my sleeves to pay for my revenge!
“To tell you the truth, Yui here was just talking about you, Paruru.”
Yui stepped on my foot as hard as she can but I ignored her. Thank god I decided to wear my boots today.
“She did?” Paruru’s eyes sparkled as she turns to Yui with both hands on her chest. “Did you miss me that much? Cause I am!”
“Ehhh? Umm… Ahaha! No! We were just talking about someone else with the same name as Sayaka here.”
My eyes widen at her. She smirked with revenge. I glanced at Miyuki from the corner of my eyes. I can see her twitching like she’s interested with this SAYAKA. Thank god Paruru decided to chimed in as she unashamedly took a seat on our table.
“Oh, oh! Are you perhaps talking about someone with the name Matsui Sayaka?”
“Err… who?” Yui gave Paruru a weird look, at the same time glancing at me to help her get this Paruru away from her. Seems like this Paruru girl is really into skinship. She’s pulling her chair closer to Yui’s side while pulling my annoyed bestfriend’s arm out of her will.
“He is Milky’s secret lover.”
“Ehh?”
I almost dropped the glass I’m holding if not for my quick reflexes.
“Wh-... Umm no! She was just… Urgh! Paruru!” Milky was bright red as she too unconsciously took a seat on the free chair.
“Secret lover?”
“Mhmm! Milky just told me about him. She really likes him but they’re having some problem at the moment. Seriously, she’s getting herself into a lot of trouble.”
“Uh huh. That’s really nice.” Yui makes an attempt to free herself from Paruru’s tight hold. Suddenly, she made a jumping motion before taking out her phone.
“Hello?”
I tried to stifle my laughter knowing the call is fake. The same thing Yui always does whenever she’s in a tight situation.
“Uh huh. An emergency? You need me there?” I mouthed to Yui to include me too, “Sayanee too? Okay, okay. We’ll be right there.”
We’re such great buddies, that’s why I love Yui to death. Even if she always annoys the hell out of me.
“Sorry, girls but we got to go. It’s an emergency.”
“Aww… just when I met my Yui…”
I almost throw up from the statement, I bet Yui is probably dying too. I looked at Milky, her face slightly fallen but she gave me a smile nonetheless.
“See you later, Sayanee.”
“You too, Milky.”
“Bye, Yui! Hope we’ll meet again.”
“I hope the opposite. Bye!”
We quickly rushed out of the place before heaving a big sigh of relief.
“Dude, your girl almost caught us in there.”
“My girl? Excuse me. I’m still single and free, thank you.” Yui flipped her hair like she’s a diva.
“Yeah, right…” I punched her arm teasingly. “So what are we gonna do now?”
“Of course, we’re gonna make a big master plan for your unhealthy relationship with Milky!”
“Ugh… do we have to? Don’t you have work?”
“And what? Let you ruin the first love experience ever of your life? No way! Speaking about work… I think Takamina’s been calling my phone since morning. Oh well… On to your place, buddy!”
“Why my place?” I whined, already knowing full well why she chose my apartment instead of hers.
“Cause you got free beer.” Yui smirked as she ruffles my short hair. “Let’s go!”
-------------
“Milkyyyyyy...”
“Hm.”
“Miyukiiiiii...”
“Mhmm.”
“Awww come on! I’m sorry okay?”
“Uh huh.”
“It’s not like I embarrassed you in front of them.” Paruru pouted, the most hideous one she ever made while tucking the hem of Miyuki’s shirt.
“But you don’t have to tell them about me crushing on Sayaka.” Miyuki sighed. “Now I don’t know if I can face Sayanee after this.”
“Eh? Why’s that?”
“What?”
“What’s with you and facing Sayanee?”
Miyuki blinked her eyes a few times.
Yeah… what’s with me and Sayanee? How did that thought came to my mind? I don’t have anything with Sayanee. We’re just friends, just like Yui and I but why didn’t I thought the same with Yui? Is this perhaps....
Am I perhaps…
“Hey.”
“WAAH! Don’t scare me like that!”
“I did nothing. Why are you so weird? It’s not like you like Sayanee or anything…GASP!”
“What?” I turn my head and look at her.
“Don’t tell me…..”
“What...?”
“You…” Paruru squints her eyes accusingly, “You like Sayanee?”
“W-What?”
“You’ve been repeating “what” for three times, you know. I’m getting suspicious here…”
“D-don’t joke with me… There’s no way I’m having feeling for her. Besides, I already have someone in my heart.” I said dreamily, the imaginary face of my handsome Sayaka appearing before my eyes. But the bubble image of my love vanished when Paruru clicked her tongue.
“That text guy, you mean?” Paruru scoffed, “Are you even sure he likes you back? What if he’s not what he said he is? You’re risking too many things here, Milky.”
“I just know, Paruru. Look, he won’t be keeping in touch with me everyday if he’s not feeling the same.”
“Maybe he’s playing with you? Guys are all the same, Milky. You can’t trust him. He’s a stranger even.”
“You don’t have to preach me about love, Paruru. I know what I’m feeling.”
“And that feeling was the one that made you have your first heartbreak.”
Miyuki gripped her fist tightly, her chest tightening as Paruru mentioned about her first love. The love she wished she never had.
“No. This feeling is different from that.”
“Like how different?”
“You know...”
“What?”
“Argh. It’s a feeling! You have to feel it… you can't say it through words.”
“Okay, fine. I’m sorry for making you feel insecure. But I’m your friend, Milky. I’m worried if he’s gonna be the same as...”
Miyuki quickly raised her hand, “Please. Don’t say his name.”
“Sorry…” Paruru took Milky’s hand down, “Tell you what. If this guy really, like really, seriously, definitely not playing with you, I bet he’ll reply to your text soon. And that’s when I’ll give him a chance to conquer my bestfriend’s heart.”
Miyuki looked at her bestfriend with an eyebrow raised, “You were telling me that he’s bad news but now you’re supporting me?”
“Girl, we’re crime partner, remember?”
They both laughed. Paruru pulled Miyuki for a hug, trying to comfort and perhaps asking for forgiveness for making Miyuki remember her heartbreak. Miyuki broke the hug as her phone starts vibrating. She reached for it, a wide smile appearing on her face as she shoved the screen on Paruru’s face. Paruru sighed in defeat with a smirk.
“I guess that guy is really different.”
“Told you so.” Miyuki punched Paruru teasingly on her arm, “And by the way, that guy is Sayaka. Do remember his name.”
-------------
It’s been days since Rena talk to either of us. Of course, we still see each other in the studio but as soon as we reach home, she would locked herself inside her room. I don’t mind really, as long as I know she’s in the room but lately, Rena’s been going out in the evening and coming back home late at night. The worst thing? She’s not even informing me or Tani about it. She just disappeared without a trace then come back all happy and giddy like she just have a date! It’s making me frustrated to have this kind of communication in the comfort of my own home. I mean, we’re not family or anything but can’t we at least be civilised with each other and greet one another to tell the others you are actually alive in this house? Urgh! This frustration is making me hungry! I’m craving for some ice cream. Ice creaaaaam!!! Come to me, you fluffy creamy thing!
I got in from the balcony, only to realize the place is dark. Since I’m trying to save electricity, I decided to keep the living room dark except when needed. Yeah, I’m bad with dark places but the heck! Ice cream is more important right now! Opening the fridge, I ransacked for any traces of my ice cream I bought last week.
“Weird… Where did you go, ice cream? Come here, creamy creamy~”
Feeling as if I was actually searching for a treasure box, I gave up with a sigh. I bet Tani eat it. That punk will get some spank from me! As I raise my head, a face suddenly appeared before me.
“WAAAAH!”
“AAAAAAH!”
The horrid face screamed too before a smirk formed on the familiar face. “Jurina-san, why are you screaming? Are you perhaps.... afraid of the dark? Hehehe...”
“Cause you look more horrible than the usual, that’s why!” I tried to reasoned out, not wanting Tani to suspect anything of my weakness.
“What are you doing?”
“Looking for a dead cat.”
Tani gave me a look that shouts disbelief. Seriously, this brat is getting more mellow and comfortable with me, it’s making me feel weird. I need to be careful around her...
“Why aren’t you sleeping yet, punk?”
“Well… I couldn’t sleep.”
“Worried about your senpai?”
“Yeah…”
“She’s an adult. She won’t get lost or anything.”
“It’s not that. It’s just…” Tani paused as she bit her lips. I can see she’s contemplating about something. “I just can’t help but sneak on her last night.”
“Oh, wow. You’re a stalker now?” I tried to joke, but the worried face of her makes me feel a bit concern. “What did you see?”
“Umm… promise me you won’t freak out?”
I scoffed with a smirk, “Dude, I’m not a person to freak out over a mere thing, even if it’s concerning Rena dating a guy behind my back. Which I doubt she will...”
“She is perhaps seeing someone.” I snapped my head towards Tani, shocked with the sudden news. I don’t really mind. Well… maybe a little. But it’s not like she’s dating the guy or girl or whatever creature it is. Perhaps a friendly meeting or get-together dinner date… Yeah, it’s cool. I’m cool.
“Is that so? What are you fretting about, then? Rena can see anyone she wants. Like I said, she’s a big-...” But Tani cut me off as she looked at me dead serious in the eyes.
“I think it’s Airi.”
