Love Him...Forever

Close to Forever

"What are you saying Kazumi?"Shine asked innocently as she tried to hide her nervousness.

"Hana, you can deny it all you want but I know, you know and Yuzu know the truth" Kazumi said, more confidently.

"Kazumi, you are mistaken. I already cleared this up to Yuzu, I am not Shine. Yes! people here say that we really do look a like; that we can pass as twins but that's it" Shine explain more with a smile to look more convincing in front of Kazumi.

But Kazumi seems like she will not be convinced by Shine no matter what else she will say.

"It's okay if you don't want to tell me the truth, I know you must have a reason for doing so. But I just want to tell you that Yuzu really loves you, even if it means that he will need to agree with your lies" Kazumi said with a smile on her face.

Shine can't deny or defend herself anymore and just looked at Kazumi, curious and scared at the same time.

Kazumi continue to tell Shine her story more.

.....

Yuzuru suddenly take a break from gliding on the ice and stand in the front of the door. He is covered with sweat but he is smiling, it's like he is seeing something amusing on the other side of the door. Kazumi notices Yuzuru and she approach him.

"Yuzu, why did you stop?" Kazumi asked in Japanese.

Yuzuru looked at her and continue to smile. He then patted her in the shoulders and slide in the ice again, away from her.

"What was that?" Kazumi confusedly asked herself in a low voice.

"What...is...the...matter?" Nam asked slowly as if Kazumi can't understand english.

"Nothing" Kazumi short reply.

Nam looked at the outside and see Shine laughing with Monika. He sigh loudly.

"Poor Yuzu! he must be seeing Shine in Hana again" Nam said while he shake his head and leave Kazumi alone.

"Who is Shine?"Kazumi asked herself and she continue to skate, following Nam.

....

"That's also the day I get to know who is Shine from Javi" Kazumi said to Shine.

Shine, tries to hide the fact that she is happy to hear Kazumi's story and frown to looked confused instead.

"And that's not the only time I see him looking at you. Everyday during practice, I will always caught him staring at you and smiling at himself -like he is actually seeing something amusing. And when I went to asked him what it is about, he would just smile and glide on the ice again, away from me. It's like a routine actually" Kazumi relay to Shine as she remember the memories in her mind.

"Yuzuru is a peaceful person, surely he must have felt bad about us not talking to each other. And memories of us before we have a misunderstanding enter his mind; that's why he is smiling" Shine said as she lied to Kazumi one more time.

Kazumi smile, seeing Shine tries convinced her more.

"Remember the time when he is practicing for Shanghai? the day that everyone convinced you to go to China with us?" Kazumi reminded her.
