The first day of Taipei concert ends well. Everything went smoothly as planned. Seeing the happy faces of their fans eased all their lethargy away. All JUMP members were extremely excited when the offer for the Taipei concert came, especially with their arena tour cancelled this year.
"Why did you kiss me?" Yamada playfully pinches Yuto's right arm. "It was so embarrassing!"
"But our fans love it! Don't you see how they react? Their scream??" Yuto grins. "And I know you loves it too," Yuto swiftly wraps his hands around Yamada's waist, hugging the shorter boy from behind.
Yamada's face instantly turns red with Yuto's action. "Yuti... not here. What if someone sees us?"
"Don't worry, everyone else is in the shower. And the staffs are busy with the stage," Yuto bends and kisses Yamada's nape. "It's just us."
"Well, perhaps we need to be more cautious when we are in public- especially during concerts. I don't want us to be like Yuya and Inoo-chan."
Yuto pauses for a moment. There is some truth in Yamada's words. Takaki and Inoo are being reprimanded for being too public about their relationship- to the extend that their arena tour was cancelled.
Yes, that was the other reason for the tour cancellation. Apart from receiving complains about their fans uncontrolled behaviour, quite a number of parents wrote to the company and criticize Inoo's solo performance during their last concert tour- labelling it as 'provoking' and inappropriate for children. The group was summoned to discuss about this matter. They even talked about not releasing their concert DVD due to this issue.
Thankfully, Yabu's diplomatic apology somehow sooths the board of directors. Promising to prioritize the company's image more in the future, they quietly accepted their 'punishment'.
"Poor Inoo-chan," Yuto sighs. "Takaki-kun too. I will be really sad if they suddenly tell me I can't stay with you anymore. Even separating them in different dressing room. That is too much!"
Inoo clears his throat as he enters the dressing room, startling the lovebirds. Yamada bites his lips, worrying if Inoo might heard their conversations just now.
Inoo calmly dries his hair with the towel as he walks to his locker. He starts gathering his belongings, purposely ignores Yamada and Yuto who are now standing silently in guilt."Inoo-chan, gomen," Yamada apologizes. He however becomes disappointed that Inoo remains silent.
Yuto grabs Yamada's right wrist. "Perhaps we should go," he drags his boyfriend out from the room. Yuto too, not able to withstand the awkward situation.
Inoo stops packing the moment Yuto and Yamada left. He sits on a nearby stool, staring blankly at the floor. With all these restrictions, his life has become somewhat dull. Inoo was adviced to move out from Takaki's apartment. Meeting Takaki is not as easy as before. They are not allowed to have 'off' on the same day. Vacation? Such thing didn't happen anymore. The most they can have is short dinner after work and must be accompanied by their manager.
Inoo misses to be alone with his lover. No amount of phone call is parallel to the intimacy the once shared. Inoo misses Takaki's kisses and touch.
The trip to Taipei is no different. Their seats on the plane were arranged so that Takaki and Inoo are separated from each other. Takaki did requested to switch seat with Chinen so he can be with Inoo throughout the flight- but the glare from the manager make him cancelled the plan.
"Kei,"
Inoo corrects his posture upon hearing Yabu calling his name.
The eldest boy approaches Inoo. "Are you all right? You seem to be spacing out a lot during concert."
"I'm fine," Inoo replies in a rather low tone. "What time are we going back to the hotel? I'm tired."
"They booked a restaurant for us to dine,"
"I'm not hungry Kota."
"I will tell the manager. We'll arrange a separate transport for you."
"Thanks."
"Is there anything else you need?"
"If you can give me Yuya, I may be more energetic tomorrow," Inoo sarcastically replies. "But that's not going to happen right?"
Yabu did not answer. He understands how devastating it is for Inoo and Takaki having to go through all this.
"I will see what I can do."
