Dear 29: Treasured Gems

Just search it, don't wait for the lay
Don't give in, keep trying to look for the light
If I can make my step, shine will come
It's like a spotlight on the stage
At last, chance will come for everyone
Please don't think you are lost and you're alone
There is somebody watching you
Don't be afraid to overcome yourself, Yeah

- San-San Dama

While watching the snowfall, I can't help but to remember Yuki Hime. If I can just fly back to her country like I did last September but I can't. Me and Toru will go to Fukuoka later for a radio interview. Toru's voice still ringing in my head, 'Don't you dare being late or else'. Gachapin's tone being the band's leader. Because of that, I'm two hours ahead of time prepared. And then there's Air Jam tomorrow.

It's been three months but Winter's kiss still lingers in my lips. And I'm not that dumb to know that I'm her first kiss. Added to the fact that she's NBSB (no boyfriend since birth).

We had fun on our phone conversation two days ago. I sang to her some lines from Stevie Wonder's song I Just Called To Say I Love You. We talked everything under the sun for half an hour.

I missed that brave girl named Winter Dellaira. That jack of all trades.

To kill time, or rather spent my precious time while waiting for Toru to fetch me, I checked Winter's Youtube channel. Man, she's got the voice and the talent. Her mashups are the bombs. Take for example that Paramore mashup.

And the beauty of course.

I'm one hundred percent willing to be her producer if she wants too. Producing and composing songs like what I did for Aimer. We can make songs together and that would be so effin' cool.

I spent one hour just by watching her music videos just in time that I received a text message from Toru saying that he'll be at my apartment after half an hour. I closed my laptop and grabbed my phone again to check any updates on Instagram.

I checked Winter's Instagram. She uploaded a video clip of her latest cover song. And the moment after I hit that Like button (or rather Heart because of its shape), an IG notification popped out.

ellie_yukie2610 mentioned you in a comment: ohhhh @10969taka liked my bestfriend's IG post. 💕💕💕

I was about to reply to Ellie's remarks, but Toru is faster than me.

toru_10969 we'll wait for this on Youtube, right @10969taka @ryota_0809 @tomo_10969?

Toru the ninja.

10969taka are you the so-called "ninja couple" now, @ellieyukie_2610 @toru_10969? We'll check this on YouTube later @winterd121.

10969taka how about me, Yuki Hime?

And Yuki Hime's comment earned hearts from Ellie and my bandmates. Great.

After fixing my hair and checking my wardrobe at the mirror, I took out Yuki Hime's journal that I hid inside my closet. I haven't told her that Ellie gave me this. She might get angry at me, that's for sure.

I read all her journal entries, poetries and compositions. Thumbs up.

I was about to close the journal when a piece of paper dropped from it.

Will you save me from this abyss?
Will you take away my pain?
Will you fight my inner demons?
Will you save my dying soul?

Oh, I need a warrior
Just to save me from this tangled life I'm in
Oh, will you come to me
Come to me

That's the words written into it. Is this Yuki Hime's unfinished composition?

"Hmm...let me finish you later." I said as I heard the door bell rang. Toru's already here so I quickly folded the paper back to the journal and hid it.

"Good that you're ready now." Toru gave me a once-over. "Nice outifit."

"Thank you Toru-chan. Let's go to Fukuoka?"

He grinned at me. It's the first time that I called him on that petname. "Yeah. Let's go."

While traveling, I kept on asking Toru on what's his status with Ellie and he said that they're just good friends. As if I will buy this reason.

"Good friends? You and Ellie's so sweet to be just good friends." I teased, quoting the last two words in the air.

"How about you and Winter? Are you just good friends too?" he questioned back.

"Well, it's pretty obvious that I like her. Like, come on, who wouldn't like Winter Dellaira? And I admit, I got jealous at Rock Axl before because Ellie told me that he's Winter's secret crush."

Toru shook his head. "Bestfriends are not supposed to say their secrets to other people. But in Ellie's case, she tells you about it, maybe because she likes you for Winter."

"Are you sure?"

"Don't act foolish, you baka."

"Hey!" And the two of us laughed.

"Take good care of Winter." Insert Toru's serious face while driving.

"No need to say to that. Yuki Hime is like a treasured gem to me and you know it."

"Good."

"Hey, Toru." He gave me a quick look while I gave him a cheeky grin. "Take good care of Ellie, too. She may be that crazy kind of girl, but she only likes one guy. And that guy is obviously you."

Toru didn't say anything but I can see that small smile on his face.

**\m/**

"Whoa, that's a lot of people waiting for us!" I gasped as we secretly sneaked to the radio station. And now, we're looking at them at the glass window. I pulled out my phone to take a quick vid of them. I'll post it to IG later.

"Aside from our friends and relatives, these are our treasured gems." Toru said, mimicking my statement earlier. I gave him a thumbs up.

"Yup. They're with us since the beginning up to now. We are very thankful."

"I agree to the two of you. Now, let's start the interview?" The DJ shook hands with us. I gave a one last look to the people who are waving at us.

Our treasured gems.

Another update, yay! We're almost coming to the end. Maybe three to four chaps to go?

Thank you so much again and again and again!
