CHAPTER 8 – PERFECT 

“Akanishi, I have something for you” Maru came up to him after their meeting.

“What is it?” Maru handed him an envelope.

“Ticket for my show I got it together with my parents VIP pass. It’s for Zoë”

“Hontou?! Arigatou!”

“It’s the same date that all the members are coming to watch. I took the initiative to let us meet with Zoë”

“Okay, I got it. But how do you plan us to meet you?”

“Ano, I told the manager that she is my sister’s friend. So if you don’t mind getting her to my house and then she’ll get to the venue with them”

“I owe you. I’ll tell her later”

“Hey, you two, what are whispering about?” Kame asked as he approached the two people talking silently, behind are the Tat-chan, Junno and Koki.

“I got Zoë an extra ticket so she can watch with you. And we’ll meet her too” maru informed him.

“Really, we’ll be meeting her at last” koki butt in.

“Okay guys, cool down we don’t want others to know about her okay. I’ll be looking forward though” Ueda said.

Jin was happy that his band mates are eager to meet his girlfriend but inside his heart he felt a bit scared. Johnny will be there for sure because it’s the last day of Maru’s stage show. And they are all going to Maru’s last day to congratulate the beat-boxer for a job well done.

“I’ll let you meet her but behave. She’ll be Maru’s sister’s friend so I won’t be introducing her to you. Just act normally” he asked his friends like Zoë was a precious thing he want to be for his eyes only.

KT-TUN understands Jin wanting to protect his girlfriend from the ferocious Johhny. Letting Johnny know that she is Jin’s girlfriend is like sending the Zoë to a room full of beast.

Zoë parked her car in front of the Maru’s house.

The day before, Jin and Zoë went to visit the beat boxer at his house and to introduce Zoë to the kind hearted people she will go with to the concert. It’s been agreed that Zoë will fetch them to prove that she’s a friend of the Nakamaru family.

After fetching the family, she drove to the venue.

“Don’t be nervous” Maru’s mom comforted her “we’ll protect you. Even though my son work for Johnny’s we can’t always agree with the rule he selfishly implements on his talents”

“Arigatou. But I’m really nervous”

“Jin will be there. So don’t be afraid.” That’s Maru’s sister.

“Zoë-chan, don’t worry too much. You’ll have wrinkles in your beautiful face” the man of the family tried to cheered the worried driver.

When they reached the venue, the staff knowing the Nakamaru family lead them all to the VIP seats. KAT-TU was not yet present in the venue. They’ll be arriving later to avoid commotion.

She felt her cell phone rang.

“Moshi! Moshi!”

“Where are you now?”

“I’m here at the venue with the Nakamarus. When are you going to arrive?”

“We’re on our way there. I’ll see you later”

“Hai. Baby, don’t worry too much about me. I’ll be fine.”

The hall was already full with audience. The DJ has announced that the concert will begin soon. After the announcement the hall suddenly went dim and a commotion started in the entrance. Some fans are shrieking going Kyaa!!! That moment she knew that the others have arrived.

She glanced at the person who came up beside her. It’s Tat-chan, next to him sit Jin, Kame, Koki and Junno. The 5 members greeted Nakamaru’s parents politely and his sisters too.

“Guys, I want you to meet Zoë, she’s a friend of my eldest daughter. Zoë, I know you knew them already, but this is Tatsuya, Jin, Kazuya, Junno, and Koki.”

“Hajimemashite!”

“A-re, it’s Zoë-chan. Jin, didn’t you recognized her? She’s the photographer from Cinema the one you did a month ago” Hiro-san their manager recognized Zoë.

“Long time no see, Hiro-san.”

“Please enjoy the show, Zoë-chan”

“Arigatou! I’m sure it will be fun” Zoë tried to sound cheerful to conceal her nervousness.

The other 5 breathe out a sigh of relief when their manager let the matter go and proceed back stage to see how Maru was coping.

“Ne, Jin you want to exchange sits?” Tat-chan teased Jin.

“Fuck off. You know I can’t do that so don’t tempt me.”

“Shh.. The show is starting.. Stop hissing at each other,” Kame warned them.

At the end of the show they gave Maru a standing ovation and everybody went to the backstage to congratulate Maru. After greeting Maru, Zoë gave him a small present wrapped elegantly in a blue paper and she bid everybody goodbye because she still has work the next day. Maru will be going home with his family so she doesn’t need to drive them back. Jin’s face showed annoyance because he wants to go home with Zoë but they have to be discreet.

­­­­

One day, Jin received a message from Zoë, “Baby, I got a good news, will treat you to a dinner at home”

When he got home however everything was dark.

“Tadaima” Jin shouted in the dark

“Okaeri” a voice from the balcony answered him

“I got home as soon as I can and honestly when I entered the door I thought you’re not in and something happened to you.”

“Gomen, gomen, I thought it would be romantic if we eat in the balcony”

Jin glanced at the table setting carefully arranged for tonight’s dinner. The table has a one-stemmed yellow rose in the center; plates and utensils are arranged like that in the hotel, their balcony light is the only illumination.

“It’s like a date in a five-star hotel. Let me change first and I’ll join you, give me 2 minutes”

“Okay I’ll just get the dishes in the kitchen”

“Do you want me to wear a tuxedo?”

“Baka, I just want the dinner to be sweet no need to dress-up”

They dined while sharing to each other what they did the whole day. Jin can’t hide his curiosity anymore.

“Baby, what is your good news I’m itching to know it already. Please don’t keep me in suspense.”

“Okay, I won the best photographer award all over Japan. My company urged me to send an entry last March and it seems that the judges liked them.”

“Hontou?! So there are also awards for photography?”

“Hai. Like you actors, us photographers have also awards giving bodies. My photo collection will be used to make a tourist travel book of Japan.”

“You have such collection?”

“Yes, it’s a collection of my photos since I came here. Last year I made a promise to myself to travel all the regions and prefectures of Japan. From those travels, I’ve learned to love Japan more. There are lots of beautiful places here and the people are friendly too.”

“Do you travel alone?”

“Sometimes I drag Sam and the other with me. But most of the time I go alone. I also join excursions conducted by tourism companies.”

“It’s rewarding, ne. Being a photographer makes you feel freedom. Have you travel again this year, did you travel the whole Japan?”

“I’ve traveled twice. Sadly, I wasn’t able to go to smaller islands so I haven’t really explore all of your country’s hidden pride.”

“When I have a longer vacation, let’s explore Japan. I haven’t really explored my own country”

“Ne, you want to see the photos? It’s in my laptop. I even have it posted in my personal blog but I kept it locked because of the entry.”

“I’ll look at it later. Let’s toast for your award. Cheers” Jin raised his wine for a toast”

“Cheers. Thank you”

“Will there be award ceremony?”

“Yes.”

“Can I come?”

“As much as I want you to be there but I checked your schedule you have an outdoor shoot that day for Wink Up. I really want to accept the award with you by my side but you know it’s impossible for now since there will also be media there.”

“Oh, I’m sorry I can’t share that night with you”

“It’s fine I’m fully aware of the situation. But I know you’re happy for me so I can bear anything”

“I’m proud of you really, really proud that I want to shout it until my lungs burst”

Zoë leaned to kiss him. She still can taste the steak they ate from his mouth. The kissed was meant to be short but Jin stood up to deepen the kiss more. They passionately kissed, tongue clashing together, arms tightly holding each other’s body. It’s a mind-blowing kiss that they have to break for a while to gasp some air.

“Let’s mind the dishes later. I have to congratulate you properly first”

Jin led her inside kissing her wildly more daring than earlier. They entered the bedroom still lip-locked pausing for short-breaths. Their hands can’t get enough of each other’s warmth in the process undressing their clothe-clad bodies. Loving each other, caressing with hunger and too much passion, riding the tide to reach the point of release, dancing wildly with the fire that’s eating their body and soul.

“Babe, that’s the best congratulatory gift I received in my entire life”

“That was wild but so satisfying. Would you care for another ride to heaven?”

“Sure, but can we do the dishes first. “

They spend the rest of the night giving each other the pleasure each of them hungers for until exhaustion and sleep claim their fervent desire. At this point, they couldn’t ask for more because everything is just perfect.
