Pairing : Jin & Zoe

CHAPTER 1 – THE DAY OUR WORLD COLLIDE

“Yosh! It’s time to party! Ne, Zoe, are you coming with us?” Samantha said after finishing all the materials that will be published on June Cinema Square issue. The gang consists of 5 people, Samantha Editor-in-Chief, Shou the assistant editor (a gay), Mika the layout editor, Jun who is in-charge in interviews (gay also) and lastly Zoe their ace photographer. Despite being foreigners Zoe and Samantha find it comfortable to be good friends with the other three Japanese. Their team have been working for over two years now and so far there have been few conflicts, mostly only about work.

Every weekend they often went to out eat decent foods since they always work overtime. After satisfying their stomach’s cravings they go to clubs to party and to relieve their stress caused by meeting deadlines and also from artists who have nothing to do but pull tantrums.

“hai! Chotto matte. I’ll just change my get-up” Zoe answered.

“Oh, you should or else I’ll deny you’re with us” Mika teased her. “Who ever want to be with someone who wears jumpers?”

“It’s my most comfortable clothes every time I set foot in the dark room you know… “ Zoe defends.

“Okay, off you go change in to something stunning so the guys will give you second glance” Shou shooed her.

After 20-minutes the gang was ready to chow and groove, they first went to their favorite yakiniku restaurant. They eat to their stomachs content. Talking about random things about the artists they work with during the week.

“I’ve photographed Ken Watanabe –san last Tuesday, he’s so cool. I feel so honored being able to capture someone who’s internationally recognized.” Zoe shared.

“You should have seen how she look when she met Watanabe-san, her jaw literally dropped” Jun said “to actually think it’s her third time capturing her idol”

“It’s because she liked him since she saw Memoirs of the Geisha” Samantha defended her best friend. She and Zoe have been friends since childhood, they both shared the dream of coming here in Japan to live and work. Now they’re fulfilling their dream and they can say with where they are now, they are contented. Of course, coming here have been tough at the beginning since some Japanese are partial to foreigners and being girls add up to reluctance of being hired. They even have to study short-term courses to add to their resumes.  It’s a good thing that they both came from a well-off family so financially they are doing well during their study-period. But to get work experience they also work part-time. Zoe had worked as cashier to a furniture shop and Samantha worked in a convenience store. They even work in a pizza store, Mister Dougnut and other odd jobs. Through hard work they were able to penetrate the world of publishing. There they met their 3 Japanese friends. The only thing missing is their love life; they haven’t met their destined one. Mika-chan has a boyfriend already who is currently working in Hawaii. Jun and Shou their gay friends well they just enjoy being gays. They have been open that sometimes the gays flirt with the guys they meet in the bars. For Samantha, she went out on dates to search for her “ONE”.  Zoe, despite being a party animal, doesn’t usually go on dates. She just went out when Samantha urges her to go on double date. For her, the right one will come at the right time. She flirts at the bars but nobody has the chance to take her home.

After eating, it’s party time!

They decided to enter a newly opened bar in Ropponggi Hills. It’s their first time going there… the club was extravagant and posh. They went to a vacant table and ordered their drinks.

“ So what are we going to have?” Jun inquired the other four who are busily scanning the dance floor.

“Let’s celebrate today Don Perignon, kudasai” Samantha ordered the waiter. “It’s on me”

“Our pleasure” the other four chirped.

It has always been that way… someone who feels extravagant every time they went out to drink will volunteer to pay. Every week they alternate who’ll treat them. Paying was never an issue.

“yosh! Sam and Zoe I pray you’ll meet your destined ones tonight” Shou declared.

“Let’s dance” Mika lead them to the dance floor.

“You gals, go ahead me and Jun will search for our prospect boyfriends too” Shou declined.

“Okay, good luck” Zoe said before following the other two to the dance floor.

The music was deafening but they move their bodies to the groove. Dancing and grinding hips with all the party people in the dance floor. The three girls love dancing it’s one thing they share. They even make dancing their exercise.

They’ve been enjoying dancing when suddenly some people stop dancing. Some girls squealed with delight.

“nan de?” Zoe looked around to see whose causing the ruckus.

“Oh my God, it’s Akanishi Jin’s gang”, Mika exclaimed. “They’re all kakkoii”

Mika has been a JE fan for so long and somehow she’d influenced the other girls. Yamapi is her ichiban. Zoe like Jin for his voice and sexy body. Samantha has like Ryo because she love guys with raven black hair she describe him “manly’.

They’ve been working with artists and idols for so long but it never seem to stop them from being mesmerized by these good-looking idols. Akanishi’s gang consists of Yamashita Tomohisa, Nishikido Ryo, Shirota Yuu and another guy name George.

The celebrities noticed that they are being stared at. They decided to enter a lounge where the regulars usually sit and enjoy their drinks. 

“Let’s drink first” Pi urged his company.

“Okay, I don’t want to be mobbed” Jin replied.

“Bakanishi! People won’t mob you here. People who enter here are those who can afford and other artists” said Yuu.

‘Let’s go to our usual table and dance later” Ryo chided them.

“Jack Daniel one bottle,” George told the waiter.

Since the opening of this club they’ve become regular customers here. Despite the admiring glances and few squeals nobody dared to touch them or even take photos. People who came to Club B are elite and mostly foreigners, but sometimes there are also fans that came to stalk their idols.

After consuming half of their Jack Daniel, Jin and Pi decided to dance. They spotted some models they knew and decided to party with them.

The dance floor was full of people swaying their hips to the music, hands held up high, some stomping their feet. Different ways of dancing making the floor more rowdy. Nobody mind bumping to one another.

In Zoe’ group, the 2 gays suddenly join them.” We can’t find someone we like” they said. They are having fun dancing wildly to the equally wild music when…

“ittai!” Zoe grunted. She felt so annoyed that someone bumped her stepping into her foot causing her to lose her balance.

“Hey watch it!” Mika assisted her to straighten up.

“Gomen.” A voice apologized.

Zoe glanced at Mika she looked like someone hypnotized. She’s staring, to add up her friends are openly staring at the man behind her. When she spun around, now she know why instead of defending her, her friends was star-stricken by Yamapi.

“ A-re, Zoe-chan! It’s you. It’s been long time. Gomen I stepped on you” the angel-faced actor greeted here.

“Yamashita-san, long-time no see. It’s okay, nothing major.” She replied.

“Who are you with?”

She felt a tugged on her dress.

“I’m with my friends, Mika-chan, Sam, Jun and Shou here”

“Hajimemashite”

“I’m with my best friends too. This is Jin and the others are in the private lounge drinking.”

“Hajimemashite”

“Are you sure you’re alright? Gomen, my friend is so into music he tripped you.”

“It’s okay. Ne, Yamashita –san , Akanishi-san, we’ll see you around. Enjoy the night”

“Zoe! Confess!” her friends confronted her when they reach their table.

“What about?”

“How come you know Yamashita-san and you didn’t tell me?!” Mika burst out.

“Well, because I didn’t really believe he’ll recognize me again. And the day we met I’m so full of schedule. I completely forgot our meeting.”

“How come you know him when we’re always together during photo shoots?” Jun inquired.

“I think it was when you called in sick that I have to both our jobs. That’s why I’m so busy that day because I have to photo shoot and interview them all in 1-hour. It was during Kurosagi Movie promo. Remember?”

“ah hai, I remember.”

“Whatever, why did you drag us out of the dance floor when we have cross path with those guys?”

“Because my foot really hurt I think it’s scraped when the sole of his shoe tripped me. And also my heart is beating so fast, I don’t want Akanishi-san to hear, okay?”

“So you’re fighting so hard not to stare at Jin?” Sam teased her best friend.

“Of course, I don’t want to embarrass myself you know.”

Meanwhile, after dancing and having one drink with the gravure models Jin and Pi went to their friends.

“You know that Asian looking woman and her Japanese friends?”

“Hai, Zoe-chan from cinema Square magazine. We worked together during Kurosagi Promos. I remember her because she asked me if I can speak in English and she did the interview using both Japanese and English. She’s really a photographer the interviewer is sick so she’s tasked to interview me.”

“She speaks English? She’s fluent?”

“hai! English is her primary language”

“You seem to know her well:

“Nope, we only talked 40 minutes. But she’s intelligent and frank plus she also has sense of humor but they say she’s also a snob”

“A snob but a club-goer”

They reach their table, Zoe forgotten.

“Let’s go to the restroom”

“Okay”

“Girls we’ll go ahead and find ourselves someone” Jun said

“You girls take care ne. Don’t go home too late” shou seconded

“hai. I’ll be going home soon. Yuta-chan will be calling me soon” Mika answered. Yuta is her boy friend. They often make long distance calls to each other.

“we’ll stay a bit until 2 am” Sam answered

“jaa ne. take care. See you on Monday.” Zoe bid them farewell.

“Mika are going to tell Yuta-chan you met Pi?”

“of course I’ll make him jealous so he’ll visit soon”

“BAKA!”

Mika has long gone home. Sam was speaking to some guy she get a chance to dance with. Zoe was alone at the bar drinking. This situation was normal.. Either Sam or her goes home together since their apartment was on the same building or she goes home alone. Sam will be having ‘a little chat” with her new friend. She don’t get mad as long as Sam is happy she’ll be happy for her best friend.

Zoe decided to go home after her drink, she’s a little drunk already. Somehow she feels happy, she met Pi again and got a chance to know Jin personally. She’ll be sleeping with a smile on her lips.

“Hi!”

A voice behind greeted her.

“Can I buy you a drink?”

“No, thank you.”

She pulled a bill from her purse and left it in the bar.

As she turned around to leave,

“Playing hard to get, ne?”

The guy grabbed her arm. Luckily, the bartender saw that.

“If you don’t want to be thrown out let her go.”

Zoe hurriedly went out of the bar. Waited for a taxi. At least the guy didn’t follow her, she felt her night was spoiled because of that pervert.

“Damn! Where’s the taxi when I badly needed one?” she muttered to herself. She’s feeling a bit nauseous.

“I’ll see you guys tomorrow. I’ll go ahead I got rehearsals tomorrow”, as Jin said his goodbyes.

“Concert’s coming up soon, ne. ganbatte!”

“Be careful. Go straight home and don’t pick up girls on your way” Ryo teased him.

“hai, no fooling around, you want to be rested tomorrow” George added.

“wakatta! Jaa ne.”

“Jaa”

Outside the bar...

“at last here’s a taxi” Zoe raise her hand to hail the taxi.

The taxi stopped a few feet away from her, when a hurrying bastard open the door and let himself inside the taxi.

“Oh shit!”

She’s right on time, to stop the door from closing. “Whoever he is he’ll hear something from me” she said to herself grimly.
