Chapter 9

the first conflict.

Yamapi has changed his clothes from the one he wore for the photoshoots to his own. Now he’s wearing a dark-colored jeans and white tshirt with a black word ‘TAKE THE RISK’ on it.

Ryo put his right hand onto Pi’s shoulder as he smile to Mao, too.

‘’konnichiwa (hello), Yamashita-kun..’’

‘’actually I want to say this to you..’’ Yamapi said to her, ‘’please just call me Yamapi, like anybody else.’’

Mao looked at him and say, ‘’ah.. hai (yes).’’

Suddenly, someone called her, the photographer is ready to take her picture. Then she said to both guys, ‘’shigoto shigoto (work)..’’

Ryo and Pi laughs to her.

And while she’s posing and followed the instruction from the photographer, Yamapi and Ryo watched her from afar. They also can see Massu posing for the camera on the other side.

‘’I don’t get it.’’ Ryo said.

‘’huh?’’

‘’why suddenly you get attached with her.’’

‘’Mao-chan? what do you mean..’’

‘’you two never work together, and even a week ago, you two aren’t this close. And she’s not exactly in your circles.’’

Yamapi crossed his arm in front of his chest. ‘’now I really lost. Just say what you want to say.’’

‘’well.. your ‘girls’ is more like.. yeah you know, models. Should I say their names, huh? Yuu-chan-‘’ then Yamapi cutted his sentence. ‘’yeah yeah I get it.’’

Ryo means Abiru Yuu, a model who once got a fling with Yamapi.

‘’and then? It’s not like I try to approach her, we met in coincidence, so im trying to be friendly, she did the same thing, that’s all.’’ Yamapi asked again.

‘’and.. I hope you didn’t get any trouble.’’ Ryo said.

‘’trouble? Why you suddenly becoming a wise guy here, huh?’’

‘’I know you always got mero-mero (fell in love) to a girl who wearing a cute dress like that.. but remember who’s behind her back.’’

Yamapi smile a bit to hear the first sentence. Ryo-chan knew him so well. He actually have a weak point to a girl who’s looking cute like Mao’s right now. Although he’s also like sexy-looking girls just like any other normal guys in this world, but somehow to see a cute nice-looking girls, it’s more.. comforting. That’s why, other than those models who was rumored to be with him, once he actually got attached with Aibu Saki-chan, who’s got the same image like Mao.

But then he thought about Ryo’s last sentence.

‘’do you mean, Shun-kun?’’ Yamapi asked. And then he laughs.’’what are you talking about? He’s the one introduced me, and by the way, I knew their story in the past, which is now it’s definitely history.’’

‘’well, that doesn’t mean he will stay calm when he knows you put your claws on her.’’ Ryo knew how Shun’s really are from what Yamapi told him, he’s a nice guy but don’t try messing around with him. ‘’but it’s not him that I talked about. It’s King.’’

Yamapi now understand. Arashi no King (Arashi’s King), Matsumoto Jun.

‘’wait. Okay, now I get what you mean. But what’s the problem? Though the rumors about him was true, it has nothing do to with me.’’

It’s been a while since there’s a rumor spreading around the members –that’s how you called the boys in Johnny’s Entertainment- that Matsumoto Jun is seriously dating Kitagawa Keiko, which is.. kinda Yamapi ex-girlfriend.

‘’of course it is. First Keiko-chan, and now Mao-chan.’’

‘’huh, Matsumoto-kun and Mao?’’

‘’havent you heard? Keiko-chan is history, and now Jun seems interested to his pretty co-star, the one that you two have been staring at.’’ Koyama or well known as Kei-chan, suddenly joined them.

‘’both of you once attached with Keiko-chan, and now the two of you also try to get Mao’s attention. Uwaaa.. it’s getting really exciting!’’ suddenly Ryo-chan seems interested.

‘’hey, I don’t try to hook up on her!’’ Yamapi said as he watched Mao smile –to the camera, of course, not to him-

‘’so maybe.. you should get someone to hook up with. You have 3 gorgeous co-star, right?’’ Massu said from behind.

Yamapi, along with Ryo and Kei-chan, turned around after hearing that.

But then from the right side, they heard ‘’but not Yuiiii..’’ Tegoshii begged.

‘’Baka (stupid).. you only rumored to be dating her, but it’s not really happen in the real life!’’ Ryo shown his ‘S’ side. S means sadistic.

‘’omae (you)..’’ Tegoshi look mad at Ryo but then he laughs.

‘’uwaaa, kichatta (it came), akuma Ryo (evil Ryo).’’ Massu commented.

‘’eh, where’s Shige?’’ Kei-chan asked. Shige usually is Ryo’s victim.

‘’there.’’ Tegoshi pointed his friend, who’s now posing in front of the camera.

‘’by the way, why suddenly all of you came here?’’ Yamapi asked after being surrounded by them.’’dondake (what the hell)?!!’’ then the guys laughing to hear his famous line from proposal daisakusen.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the promo thing, Mao and Shun are talking with Fujiki Naohito.

‘’hai hai (yes), im gonna be there.’’ Mao said while Shun say the opposite, ‘’gomen (sorry), at that night I got a scene for Crows.’’ He meant Crows Zero 2, his next movie.

‘’souka (I get it).. too bad. But if it’s work, then we cant do anything bout it, right?’’ Fujiki said.

Both of them agreed.

Fujiki Naohito held a simple birthday party in his house, actually it’s his wife’s idea. She told him to invite his ex co-star to having a barbeque party. Until now, the girls from Gal cirle, like Aragaki Yui, and Erika Toda said that they gonna come. And from Proposal Daisakusen, Nagasawa Masami will come along with Hiraoka Yuuta. Both of Hamada Gaku and Eikura Nana still got a job to be done, while Yamapi havent invited yet. Fujiki-san plan to call him tonight.

‘’ne.. are you gonna come too?’’ Mao asked Jun.

‘’yeah yeah.. I will. It’s this Saturday, right?’’ Jun answered.

Actually Fujiki’s birthday is already passed quite long, but because of his schedule, he finally got a break on this weekend. So why not?

Fujiki-san excused himself because he has to go somewhere else, and then Mao and the guys saying goodbye to him as Fujiki called someone on the phone.

As then he walked, Mao heard he said, ‘’Moshi-mosh, Yamapi?’’ she took a glance with the corner of her eyes, but then Jun called her.

‘’come on, they asked for an interview.’’ As then he lead her with his hand on her back.

‘’again?’’ Mao asked.

‘’yeah, I think it’s for Mezamashi or Chinchin puipui.’’ Shun answered.

‘’hey where are you going?’’ Mao suddenly saw him walk to the other way.

‘’im not going. They only asked for Tsukasa and Makino.. jya ne (bye).’’ Shun walked to the dressing room as he waved his hand without looking back.

As they walked to the studio, Mao said, ‘’sabishii (lonely) ne.. the promo is nearly ends, and so are the whole production.’’

Jun laughs. ‘’we all still can hang around, don’t you think?’’

‘’well, yeah.. but Shun is busy with the crows and another projects. He’s having more than 3 you know.. you with your Arashi, and Shota up to something with his brother. Even Abe-kun will fly to Taiwan for his new drama..’’

‘’why are you suddenly looking so lonely?’’

‘’like I said, sabishii ne..’’ Mao just said it.

When Jun wants to say something, suddenly Mao got an email message. She opens her cellphone, and read for a while. And then she reply, after that she closed her cellphone.

Jun just staring at her, but then he said, ‘’you’re just feeling a bit sad because we’re on the production for too long. But as the time goes by, you’ll be fine.’’

Mao laughs a bit, ‘’well, I also like this when First Kiss was gonna end.’’ She meant her previous drama with Itou Hideaki and Hiraoka Yuuta.

‘’and then you went just fine, right?’’

‘’yeah..’’ Mao said.

‘’see?..’’ Jun said.

‘’yappari (as I thought).. King is always so wise.’’ Mao teased him and Jun is laughing as then they went inside the studio and greeted by the crew there.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And later that Saturday,

Mao went to Fujiki-san’s house by herself. Her older brother dropped her off, and then she walked in to house. She rang the bell and Fujiki’s wife opened the door for her.

‘’Yoroshiku onegashimasu.’’ Mao said.

‘’Yoroshiku onegaishimasu..’’ his wife said, ’’come on in, Mao-chan, they’re just gonna start the barbeque in the backyard.’’

Mao followed her to the backyard, and then she saw Fujiki-san. ‘’uwaa.. it’s really beautiful.’’ Mao said to him as she pointed above. There’s a group of small lamps that hanging from on tree to another. There’s so many it makes the garden so bright even it’s already 7 PM.

‘’my wife’s idea.’’ He said as he lift his child.

‘’hey.. hello.. who’s your name?’’ Mao asked the little girl.

But the girl is so shy, she just hugged her father. Mao then laughs to see that.

Fujiki-san said to her, ‘’Erika-chan was there with the others. Excuse me, but I want to check the meat..’’

‘’okay..’’ Mao said as she walked to the girls.

‘’konnichiwa (hello)..’’ she greeted.

Erika-chan is laughing with Yuuta, they reminiscing about good ol’day when they played together in 2 different work.

‘’konnichiwa Mao-chan.. uwaa, your t-shirt is really cute.’’ Erika said to her as Yui greeted Mao too. ‘’hello Mao-chan.’’

She’s wearing a loose pink t-shirt, and there’s a picture of 2 pieces of necklace on it. One of the pendant is a big bow shape, and another one is star shape.

‘’ah, I just bought it a couple days ago.’’

And then they start to chatted. Not long after that, Masami called them, she said that Jun is coming.

She worked with Jun in a movie before, so they get along quite well.

‘’konnichiwa minna-san.. (hello everybody).’’ Jun greeted them.

‘’Jun-kun! you came..’’ Mao called. Actually among the girls, it’s only her who call him Jun. The other oftenly called him Matsumoto-kun. Maybe it’s because not everyone can get too close to him. Even Masami.

When everybody wants to get the meat and another food, Mao is still sitting with Jun. He’s talking with her and now he was telling something funny about Sho. Sakurai Sho is one of Arashi’s member.

But then Mao saw someone who walked inside the house, and she waved her hand, ‘’Ryo-chan!’’

Jun turned around and see his junior.

Ryo knew Fujiki from Ichi Ritoru no Namida, a touching drama who’s played by Sawajiri Erika.

He looked so cheerful as he greeted her and also Jun. ‘’hello Mao.. MatsuJun-san.. wow, everyone are already here.’’

‘’yeah, just go and grab some food.’’ Mao told him.

‘’how bout you two?’’ he asked.

‘’we’ll come afterward.’’ Jun answered.

‘’okay then..’’ Ryo seems still want to say something to Mao, but then he just walked and greets Masami.

Not long after that, Fujiki came to the backyard with Yamapi. His daughter is in Yamapi’s arm.

‘’Yo!’’ he said to Mao. And to Jun, who’s still sitting beside her, he bowed politely. ‘’Matsumoto-san..’’

As Yamapi walked to the rest, Erika and the other is waving at him.

‘’Pi-tan!’’ Masami called. Yui also smiled at him.

‘’famous as usual.’’ Mao teased him from her chair. And then she said to Jun, who’s now talking with Fujiki, ‘’im going over there, okay?’’ Jun just nodded.

Mao walked to the crowds, and when she almost reach them, she heard Masami told Yamapi, ‘’ne.. your shirt is so cool! Somehow it looks similar to Mao’s..’’

After that, Yamapi turns to see her, who’s now standing right behind him. ‘’ah.’’ Both of them said that as they pointed to each other shirt. Mao didn’t realize it at first, because he’s been holding Fujiki’s daughter, and his shirt is kinda covered by the little girl.

Yamapi wears a white t-shirt that has a picture of bow tie hanging upside down on the left side, near his neck.

‘’yeah, I bought it a couple days ago.’’ Yamapi said the exact answer that Mao said earlier. And suddenly, the situation is kinda awkward. Especially when Yui asked, ‘’oh.. did you buy it together? Where is it? it’s cute..’’

‘’um yeah-‘’ Mao answered but then Ryo cutted her. ‘’yeah, I actually also bought a similar t-shirt, too. Right, Mao-chan? I forgot the name of that shop in Shibuya, but I can show you..’’ he said to Yui.

Mao felt that Ryo-chan is trying to save her from everyone’s curiosity. Yeah, she went to Shibuya with NEWS member right after they finished the photoshoots. And then they separated into 2 groups. Shige, Koyama and Tegoshi were looking for a music store, while Yamapi, Ryo and Massu accompany Mao to walked around the shopping area.

As Ryo-chan talked to everyone, Mao patted Yamapi’s shoulder.

‘’I have it, the one that you’re asking for. It’s in my bag.’’

‘’really? Wow, thanks!’’

‘’do you want to have it now?’’

‘’I think so.. it’s better than forgot to take it from you later.’’

Mao walked to get her bag, which she put inside the house, along with any other guest’s belonging.

Yamapi followed her as he talk to Fujiki-san’s daughter, who still in his arms, ‘’that’s Mao Neechan.’’ Mao turned around and smile to the girl. ‘’yoroshiku ne..’’

‘’here..’’ Mao gave him something, and then Yamapi said, ‘’ah, I want to see it.. is it okay with you if you carry her for a while? She will be angry if we put her down.’’

‘’okay..’’ Mao took Fujiki’s san, who’s now not too shy to her anymore. Then Yamapi was looking real carefully to the thing for a while.

‘’uwaa.. arigatou (thank you), you’re a lifesaver! I felt like I wanna hug you, you know that!’’ then Yamapi said out loud as then Mao laughs. ‘’ok then, come here..’’

But suddenly, there’s a bang behind them.

They turned around and saw Yui. ‘’ah, gomen ne. I didn’t mean to disturb you two..’’ the glass that she hold hits the door, that’s why there’s a bang sound.

‘’eh?’’ Mao said. Then Yamapi and her are looking at each other, and then they realized why Yui said like that.

Yamapi said ‘’come here.’’ earlier but he didn’t mean to hug Mao. He said come here to Fujiki’s daughter, because he wants to lifted her in his arms again. But Yui must seen them like they’re going to hug each other.

‘’ah.. it’s not like what you think, Yui.’’ Mao said.

‘’yeah, it’s-‘’ Yamapi said but then Yui just say, ‘’no no.. it’s okay. Im not gonna tell everyone, don’t worry.’’ As then she walked away to the backyard.

‘’Yui-chan, wait!’’ Yamapi wants to catch her, but then something makes him change his mind. He just sighed as Mao standing in front of him, still holding the little girl in her arms.
