It had been a few day's since Masa had left Wit's place to drive to J'muzu's. Wit had been working, eating and sleeping as usual only now he had been thinking of Masa frequently and funnily enough he kind of missed him.
The weekend was approaching so he gave J'muzu a call and asked what they were up to? He told Wit they were planning to go to a kendo class on Saturday afternoon, it was something that Masa did in Japan so he was stoked to find a dojo close to J'muzu's place.
Wit suggested he drive over and then they could all go for drinks and an early dinner afterwards, he said he would tell the guys and J'muzu agreed it was a great plan then Wit ended the call not having an excuse to talk to Masa.
He called the guys who decided to meet him there after the class. Nathan couldn't go because he was working a double shift at the hospital so Korn would go down with Pat and Orm after she had shut up shop meanwhile Masa was enjoying his time with his friend.
They had always got on pretty well but Masa still kept up his facade of being an office worker. They had been long distance friends and pen pals for several years now and Masa really wanted to share more about himself but he was scared of losing the friendship.
J' had introduced Masa to his small group of Thai friends and they had all been out for lunch, it was so refreshing to just chill and forget everything that awaited him back in Japan. He loved being in Thailand, the people were great, the food was amazing and the architecture was stunning. The countryside was peaceful and inviting, he would love to live here.
J' was taking him to a temple later so he decided to go and shower. He wondered why he'd felt a bit dejected when Wit had called and not asked to talk to him but then why would he? he was calling to catch up with J' not him.

On Saturday morning Wit had to work on a car for a few hours then he could go home and get changed to drive to the address that J'muzu had sent him, it was the kendo dojo. He felt anxious as if he was going on a date which was crazy.
He spent a few hours at work and then went home leaving the garage in the care of his staff. He grabbed a quick bite to eat and took a shower washing away all the dirt of the morning and then scrubbed under his fingernails to get rid of all the oil.
He decided to wear a casual outfit, and took a pair of pants and a nice shirt to change into later before going to dinner. Checking the time he loaded the car and set off, it would take about an hour to get there, why the heck had J'muzu moved so far away from town!

Masa and J' were setting off to go to the kendo dojo, Masa was quite an advanced kenshi (swordsman) and it was part of his fitness regime. He decided to show J' a few moves, luckily the dojo had some kendogu (armor) that he could borrow.
They got to the dojo and the sensai was thrilled to meet Masa even asking him to teach part of the class. Masa quickly changed and J' insisted on taking a couple of snaps.
The class was going well and Masa was enjoying the workout and was surprised to see Wit walk into the gym about half way through. When they took a break, J' dragged Masa over to Wit before wai'ing to his senior, Masa not wanting to be disrespectful also wai'd.
Wit smiled at them both, wai'ing back and then looked at Masa,
"you look great out there" he said drinking him in.
