"Everything's going to be okay." That's what I always told him. Jun was this guy who's cold towards literally everyone and I'm the only one who's close to him. He's always rude to people because there's something that no one knows except for me. Tow...
10 years later. I'm starting to change a bit, actually showing different moods to people and my smile has become more faker and faker. I'm working as a fashion designer right now and Eri's also made her dream as a makeup artist. We're working in the same building also. I bring Junnie here to work most of the time. He actually a good boy who listens and helps me out so the building got used to seeing him every once in a while. He has also become bigger, a lot bigger than the last time.

More like that.
And Kyo, he's become a world famous basketball player. It's been four years since we saw each other, he probably forgot about me and lost his feelings already anyways. Eh, not that I care.
"Katsumi?" I heard my manager Maki called. I placed my pencil down since I've been working on a sketch for some new designs. "How are you holding up right now?" She asks me as she greeted Junnie with a pat. "Maki, I'm working on our new designs. Wanna take a look?" I offered. Maki happily looked through my sketches. "Nice, I see you're getting better and better each day." She compliments. "Thank you Maki. Was there something you need?" I asked by her sudden visit. "Oh yeah, we've been invited to a basketball game tomorrow night, and from the Sanada Kyo! Mr. Sanada specifically asked for you Katsumi! Are you guys close or something?" She wonders excitedly. What?!
"Kyo?! He what?!" I asked all surprised up. Some coworkers who heard me came in. "Yes! We're going to see Kyo-kun!" One says excitedly. "Still wondering why he asked specifically for you though Katsumi." Another add. "How does he know you?" They ask. Even Maki was looking at me like she also wanted some answers.
I sigh. "We were friends back in High school and he had this huge crush on me." I shrug as if it didn't mattered as much, but the other's expressions showed otherwise. "What?!" They all shouted in unison. That's when more of our coworkers cam rushing in, all of them asking me about Kyo.
"He liked you?!"
"You know him?!"
"What?!"
"Calm down, calm down." I say pushing back since they were all up in my face. "It's not like it matters, he probably lost feelings for me anyways. I didn't know he still knew me."
"Girl, for someone to have a huge crush on you, of course they would remember you." Maki tells me. "Ooh, and I got a footage of him, it's a message to you!" Mei tells me excitedly as she pulled out her phone. Everyone shut their mouths to hear the recording.
"Oh, hi Katsumi! Missed you! It's been four years since we last saw each other. You better come tomorrow night, got it? Oh, and one more thing, I still haven't lost feelings for you." And it ended with him winking. Everyone stood there quiet and speechless. Then instantly started squealing. "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" I begged.
*~~*
That next night, the whole of Parm studio, our work place name, all attended the basketball game. "Geez, I so don't feel like being here." I sigh quietly so that only Eri could hear me. "You're too much, this is a big opportunity stupid." Eri tells me as she rolls her eyes.
Sure enough, right after the game, everyone went up to Kyo. But instead of greeting everyone else, Kyo came up to me and gave me a big, long hug, I just stood there shock while the others squealed. "W-what are you doing?" I quickly asked after a few more seconds and push him away. "This can get on the news you know."
Kyo just smiles cheekily. "So what? Besides, we haven't seen each other in a long time, of course I'd be hugging you. So, how have you been?" He pats my head, just like a certain someone used to. "Um...normal?" I answered un surely. I mean what else am I suppose to say? "Geez, aren't you cute?" He says that then turned back to the crowd and greeted them. Wow...😪
*~~*
The next day, Parm studio was so lively since there's photo shoot here with Kyo's basketball team and these actors and actresses.
"But Natsumi-chan, I don't even know who or what this actor look like, how am I going to design his clothing?" I tell her when she told me that we were going to work with this actor for a while and that I was in charge for his clothing designs. Natsumi quickly gasp in horror and some other coworkers who heard gasped along with her. "You don't know Jun?!" They scream in unison. I look at them confused. "Who?"
Their faces turned as if they became dead. 😵
"Ali Jun! The famous actor all over the news! Everywhere! Even in America!" Natsumi yells. Hmmm, Ali Jun? Sounds familiar. I shook my head. "Sorry but I don't pay attention much to the outside world." They nodded and shook their head understandingly. 😪 "We can tell."
"Ugh, anyways, he's going to be here in a minute or so, so you can get a good look at him then." Natsumi sighs. Then we heard this loud commotion of squeals. "Ooh! He's here!" Natsumi shrieks and pushes me, along with some other coworkers, out of the way, making me stumble and fall down the floor. "Ugh, geez. What's so popular about this dude anyways?" 😪 I sigh to myself and went to pick up all those papers that fell on the floor. Junnie quickly came to my side and helped me pick them up. "Aww Junnie, thank you." I smile. "Geez, falling everywhere." I heard a familiar voice sigh. Looking up, it was Eri. "Shut up, I was pushed over." I argue, taking the hand she offered and got back up. Junnie gave me the remaining papers and suddenly looked as if he was alarmed. "Junnie?" I call. But Junnie didn't answered, instead he sniffed the air more.
"Whoa, Junnie?!" A voice cried out. A guy came over and Junnie ran to him as well, as they greeted each other like they're best friends. "Who's this guy?" I whisper to Eri. She shrugs in return. Everyone else looked as well, surprised this guy knew Junnie. Then he looked up and our eyes met. It was as if time stopped. His face looks so familiar, his jawlines, his eyes, his hair, his body shape...But then again.
"Um, who are you?" I ask. Everyone stared at me deadly. 😵 Even Eri, the guy just chuckles. Eri quickly smacked my head. "You idiot!" She yells. "Ow! That hurts!" I complain, but she kept going. "That's Jun! Ali Jun! Your best friend! He gave you Junnie!" She yells but I look at her still confused. "Ugh, he's Junk!" And with that word, all sorts of memories came back to me about Jun, our friendship, our everything. Then I instantly gasp. "Junk!" I look in horror. 😧 Jun smiles when he sees that I remembered and got off the floor, walking towards me. I felt my tears wanting to come down as he's inching closer and closer, then suddenly embraces me. Everyone's probably looking shock right now too.
When Jun pulls away, his smile fade. "You seriously forgot about me?" He flicks his finger at my head. "Ow! That freaking hurts!" I complained but then calmed. "When did you came back?" I ask him. "Just months ago. But wow, you grew, and look a bit different." He pats my head with a smile. I look at him stunned. "What's wrong?" He asks when he sees me still surprised. "You." I tell him. "Y-you used to never smile! And, an actor?! What happened?"
"I told you I'd come back to you as a better man didn't I?"
That's right, Jun did say that. Maki and Natsumi quickly comes up to us. "Wait, wait, wait, you two know each other?" Maki asks. Me and Jun nodded. "We're best friends." We say in unison. Their faces looked shock. "And..." A familiar voice comes as that person wraps his arm around me and Jun. "Jun's the reason why Katsumi rejected me. These two liked each other but couldn't be together since Jun had to leave, so they promised each other they would wait for one another." Kyo explains and all their faces turned more shock. 😱
"And, and, and, Jun gave Junnie a resemblance for him. They named him Junnie since Jun and Katsumi stands for Junnie!" Eri adds excitingly. Everyone's faces turned dead this time. 😵
