AKAASHI'S POV

"Hello... Oh! Rin.. It's been a while.. How's it goin-" I stopped as I heard sniffs and heavy breathing from the other line.

"Wh..Why... are you crying? Are you alright?!" I worriedly asked tightening my grip into my phone.

"I.. I..need... someone... to...talk..to..Kei..ji.. Please..."

"I'm here.. Tell me... What's the matter?"

The other line started to be filled with sobs and whimpers.

I waited for his response but eventually it never came.

"Rin.."

"Hey..."

"Talk to m-"

He then hang up the call.

What on Earth happened to Rin?

I quickly dialed his number as I sat on my bed leaning my back on my headboard.

I tap my screen waiting...
"Come on... Come on..." I repeatedly whisper to myself.

I tried calling for so many times but he never pick up.

Hyogo isn't near here in Tokyo... but Rin needs me so even if it's the middle of the night, I jumped out of bed, turned on the lights, and quickly grabbed my backpack from my closet.

I packed few of my essentials that I might need for the trip. It is very often for Rintarō to call at a very unprecedented time... and very much often to call crying..

Rintarō isn't someone to cry either unless he's emotionally bombarded or stress.... so it worries me a lot.

I sat down in my bed after I gathered some clothes from my closet.

I started folding few shirts, jackets, and other necessary stuffs and placed them inside my bag..

I turned my head into my desk, walked over it, and sat down on my swivel chair. I slowly reached for our picture on the top of the table.

It's an old photo in a frame. Rintarō and I... during the time that they still lived here in Tokyo... Time really flew so fast.... and I never realized how 10 years have gone already.

I smiled a little. We grew up so fast that's for sure.

My train of thoughts stopped as I was brought back into reality by a loud ringing of my phone.

I slowly turned my head into my bed where I placed my phone.

I walked over it, and seen the caller's ID. I answered the call and placed it on my ear.

"Kei..ji... I'm sorry, I couldn't answer... your calls. I'm just so frustrated... and tired.. I... I know...I'm botheri-"

"You aren't bothering me... What's going on? You're making me worry, Rin..."

"I...know... I know.. I'm sorry..." he replied with a sob again

"Stop crying, please. I'm heading there in few hours. Wait for me, Rin, okay!? Don't do anything drastically.."

"But.. Keiji... You don't have to-"

"I need to. I hate it everytime you're crying... you know that, right?"

"But-" I stopped him again

"Remember my promise, Rintarō? Even if I'm on the other side of the globe, whenever you need me, I'll be there because you're my best friend and nothing can change that. Distance will never be an issue, okay?" I replied and heard his breathing more stable than earlier during his first call.

"O..Okay .. Keiji.. I... thank..you...I'll wait...for you .." he said and ended the call.

I continued prepping my stuffs and stare at nothing once in a while.

I glance at my alarm clock, it's 4:56am... He first called at around 2am... so who wouldn't worry? I mean... it feels like he's so miserable and desperate...

I grabbed my bag after I took a shower and changed my clothes. Since my parents are away in US, I live on my own.

I locked the front door and started walking into the station... I rubbed my hands together to ease the cold January breeze.

"YOU WHAT?" I asked bewildered

"Please, Keiji.... I need you ...."

"That's irrational and stupid, Rin-!!!!" I replied but was stopped as he placed his left hand on my mouth to hush me.

I looked at him furrowing my brows.

"Please.... Help me, Keiji." and putting his hand down into his lap.

I sighed in disbelief.
"F..Fine... But, please... tell him the truth after all this mess is over."

"I.. I will... Just stay beside Osamu, okay?"

This was months ago.... and now I am facing the wrath of Osamu hovering over me with anger in his eyes.

I... I'm sorry...
