NINO POV

“ne, ne, I guess all of us are early today. Why don’t we go and grab some breakfast,” Aiba broke the tension in the room.

My fault, I keep repeating the words. Arashi is in trouble right now because of my fault. And the most disturbed my thought right now is her. How is she going to accept this or how is she supposed to face this?

I sighs, the thought scare me so much.

When I walk into the room this morning, all the other Arashi member was already in the room. In tense. Looking at their face, I know there’s something wrong had happened. I look at each of their face. Riida didn’t take a look at me. Sho-kun and Aiba-chan is talking to each other. Only then, Matsujun walks to me, hands me the tabloid. As I see the front page, I know I’m so into the trouble.

I look at Riida, he didn’t look at me either. For the first time, I saw him interested reading the fashion magazine. When I turned to both Sho-kun and Aiba-kun, both of them are looking at me. Then I turn to Jun who is doing the same thing. I let go of a heavy sighs.

“Nino….” It’s Jun. again, I lifted my head facing him.

“I think it’s time to tell us, who she really is. I mean,”

“ma ma, you don’t have to be soft on me Matsujun. You can yell at me if you want,” I cut him off. I didn’t expect for him to do that when Riida throw the magazine he is holding and went to me before Jun hold him back.

“You always act this way. Trying to be cool while the others are damn worried about you, damn it!” for the first time in my life, for the first time after 11 year being in Arashi, I heard him yell at me. He’s no more a calm one like the one I know before.

“Riida,”

“just stop being a brat already. Start being a matured one. Do think of others will you?” he said while trying to get away from Jun.

I was about to reply him when all of us heard a knocked on the door. When we turned around, it’s manager-san.

“ninomiya-san. Johnny-san wants to see you right now in his office,” damn it. Why now?

I didn’t say a word. I step out from the room, heading straight to his office. Along the way to his office, I keep thinking about what I should say. Without realizing it, I have been in front of Johnny. Not in his office, but outside of it. He’s waiting for me, unexpectedly. When I lifted my head just to see him, I saw him gives me a small smile.

“You seem to be empty minded now, Ninomiya-san?” he asks. I just give him a nod.

“sumimasen,” I said.

“Let’s continue our discussion inside the room,” he opened the door for me. I didn’t know what will happen next. But for me, it’s nothing serious. The tabloid just told about me going out with her. At least it is not a sex scandal. I know it sounds selfish, but it just that.

“You know very well about our policy right, Ninomiya-san. I don’t like my idol to date any of public people. It’s not only because of the entertainment interest, but it is also about her safety. I consider that,” I didn’t look at him, but still I listen at his words. I know that’s the reason why none of us are allowed to date publicly.

“I want to meet her,” I straight lifted my head.

“sir, you might got the wrong situation,”

“I know about her, ninomiya-san. I know she is your cousin, why she is here in Japan, and I know well about your condition,” hearing his words, I startled. How did he know? But still it doesn’t bother me so much. What bothers me right now is her.

Thinking about her words before, I know it will be hard.

“I’m your cousin, but I didn’t want to get involve with you and your entertainment things, Kazu-kun. I don’t want any fame because you are my cousin. So, please, don’t let me met any of your group mate or even your admin,”

She hates it. She hates being upfront. That night is a total mistake. I shouldn’t ask her to accompany me.

“is there any problem?” my thoughts was stopped by Johnny-san. I quickly shook my head.

“no, but…”

“but?”

“she hates it. She has warned me before,”

“I won’t get mad at her, Nino. I ensure you that. I just want to know her, that’s it,” I sighs. Having no other choices, I just nodded a little.

“I’ll bring her here tomorrow,”

“Good, and if possible, just don’t let her go out alone. We might not know what your fan will say or do. And about the media, no worries. I’ll deal with them by telling the truth. Your relationship isn’t really forbidden isn’t it? So far that I know and I see,”

I didn’t know if I should relieved by what he said. I know the media won’t buy so much about whatever he said, even if that thing is the right things.

Damn media!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“ehhhh, yada! Hontou ni yada! Nande?” that is how she reacts when I told her about it. I already expected that actually. Now, I really have no idea how to persuade her to met Johnny-san. I was scratching my head even it is not itch when she yells calling my mum.

“Kaachan,”

“nani?”My mum asks.

“What should I do about it?” I know she is worried. Surprisingly, I saw kaachan smiling.

“kaachan,” I call her, almost whispering.

“I told Manager-san this morning, once I saw the tabloid about you two,” ah, so that’s where he knows about it. But…

“Eh, so you tell everything?”

“Everything, yes. Because he ask me why is Riisa-chan here,”

“kaachan…. The other will know,” I saw her sighing.

“I didn’t know why you’re trying so hard to hide from your band mate, kazu. In the end, they will know it,”

“I prefer them to know in the end rather than knowing it now,” I like muttering those words in a small voice. I wonder if anyone ever heard it. Later than, I take my sit at the couch.

“Kaachan, demo,” she didn’t continue her talks. Seems like she has lost her words. When I look at her, she’s pouting. Kaachan smiles.

“it’s ok Riisa-chan. Trust me. It will be fine. He won’t be mad at you,”

She didn’t reply kaachan words. Sighing, she takes her sit at the couch in front of me. Kaachan leaves both of us there. For a moment, both of us just keep silence. She’s playing with her fingers while I just stare at her. Gomen ne, Riisa-chan. I made us in trouble this time.

We stay that way until she finally ask me something.

“how does he react when he saw the tabloid this morning?” I look at her, a little bit puzzle by her question.

“who? Johnny-san? Riida?” I ask.

“both,” she answer short while massaging her forehead. I can see she closed her eyes, like she’s holding a pain.

“well, Riida, he yells at me. Johnny-san I guess because he knows about you from the manager-san, I think, he’s a little bit calm. Riisa-chan daijoubu?” I ask, seeing her non-stop massaging her forehead. She nodded a little.

“I think, you need to tell Ohno-san about me. Just tell me I’m your cousin. I didn’t know if it will work, but I hope it will. Find the right time to tell him ok,” she talks. By the way she talks, I can heard she’s a little gasping.

“I didn’t feeling well, may i… I mean, let us talk about this tomorrow ok. Just, wake me up at the right time, so that I can catch up with you tomorrow,” she said before heading to her room.

I sigh. My mind was thinking about the last time I met the doctor.

“it’s already 2nd stage Ninomiya-san. You have to do it as fast as possible”

“will there be any possibilities for me to fully recover from the disease,” to be honest, I didn’t convince that I will.

“I can’t guarantee that ninomiya-san. You might have to follow up with another treatment, but I’ve seen a case familiar with yours before. It she did recover after the operation,”

“is there any risk for both of us. I mean me and the donor,”

“I guess no,”

Thinking of this, I feel worst. I’m afraid that I’ll hurt her. What if the operation never succeeds? What if I never get recover after doing it? I’m afraid of it. Once again I sigh.

It’s still early, but I decided to go to bed earlier. I just hope everything will be fine tomorrow.
