Summary: Incomplete JUMP on Inoo’s birthday photoshoot but there are two surprisingly events for him!

“Otsukaresama desu~” the photographer thanked everyone as we end our photoshoot.

“Otanjobi, Inoo-chan” Daiki greeted me for the last time before we part at the lobby of the studio.

            Sigh, Takaki didn’t make it. Maa! I guess we’re not that close to be friends… but I really wished he was here… and Ryu-chan too. This is my first birthday with incomplete JUMP… sigh… and I just realized how fearful it is with only 8 people in JUMP… Oh… is it raining? Ah~ It’s just my tears… I missed ten JUMP… and my birthday wish will be to perform again with complete ten members on our concert.

            I wiped my tears with the sleeve of my blue parka and leaned my forehead on my arm on the closed door of the train to hide my emotions that time. When I got off from the train, I received a mail from Ryu-chan. He told me to meet him at the café near the station so I made my way there in a few minutes. I know that we’re forbidden to get in touch with him but he’s like a younger brother to me and to think that he wanted to meet me on my birthday really flatters me. I saw a guy with a cap and yellow parka at the far end of the café. He waved at me and I walked towards that table.

“Otanjobi omedeto, Inoo-chan” he greeted me the instant I arrived there. He gave me a round metal box with a blue ribbon around it.

“Arigatou, Ryu-chan” I smiled widely as I sat across him.

“Is it okay for you to meet me? I mean, I know you shouldn’t, you should have declined…” he got worried but I shook my head.

“Nope, I don’t care if the president will know about this. And hey! It’s my birthday so I’m the boss here!” I giggled and pat his head lightly like I always do. He looked down and I noticed a tear fall from his face.

“What’s the matter?” I teased him but deep inside, I’m really grateful to meet him on my birthday.

“You know how much I love JUMP…” he sniffed silently.

“Don’t worry, we’ll still wait for you to come back… no matter what happens, you’re still a JUMP member for us and for the fans” I answered him wholeheartedly and hoped that it’ll reach him but I only gained a nod from him. He wiped his tears immediately.

            Maa! I guess he’s just shy from crying in front of me. And we might end up crying together if he answered.

“Thanks for accepting my invitation, Inoo-chan. Ah! I ordered something for you so better finish it, ii no?”

“Okay!” I excitedly responded and we both laughed to that. He stood and was about to leave when I grab his right hand.

“Thank you so much, Ryu-chan” I thanked him as I squeezed his hand.

“Do itashimashite!” he left after that and a mango moose shortcake with an iced tea arrived. I finished it and started walking home. I saw the playground that I used to play on when I was a child and decided to stay there for a while. I sat at one of the beams there and reminisce.

            I was 5 years old when my mother took me in the playground near our house. It was when I fell in love with the blue sky that day.

            “Uwaah~ The sky is clear blue today… Kirei na~” I mumbled as I walked around the playground while staring at the sky and without noticing the beam, I bumped my knee on it and fall.

“Mataku! Kei-chan, daijobu?” my mom helped me get up and pat my shorts from the sand. I just nod and didn’t take my eyes from the sky view. She walked towards other mothers after that.

“Haha! Kei-chan’s soul is really out of this world, ne?” one of the kid said and the others agreed.

“Huh? Hmmm…” I think first what to answer but the clear blue sky really attracts me so I ignored them and stared at the sky the whole day.

            My phone rang and saw Takaki’s calling. I hesitated to answer it and just stared on my phone for a while.

“You didn’t show up today! I hate you, Bakaki!” I pout but I heard a chuckle from my back. I looked behind and I saw Takaki while still trying to call me with his new smart phone. I just glared at him showing that I’m sulking.

“Why won’t you answer my call?” he sat beside me and put his phone on his pocket.

“’Coz your annoying” I rolled my eyes at him.

“Annoying~? Then you’re the sulky child” he teased me and I know he’s smiling widely as he saw me pouting.

“Sigh. I’m going home” I stood and was about to start walking when he grabbed my hand and squeeze it softly as if it was a toy that produces a squeaky sound when squeezed. I finally looked at him and tried to let go.

“You don’t want your present then?” he said as his left hand was looking for something on his parka’s pocket.

“I don’t want it” I said bluntly before he finds it.

“Eh??!” he whined while pouting.

“Don’t ‘eh’ me! You’re the one who didn’t greeted me or even appeared before me on my birthday and now you’re whining like a 3-year old child?!” I got mad and didn’t realize I was crying already.

“Hontouni gomenasai. But it’s still June 22 today, ahm… 9:30 pm…only 2 and a half hours to go before it lasts” he said after looking at his watch. I wiped my tears immediately with my parka again and stopped crying.

“Here, otanjobi omedeto Inoo!” he took my hand and put a silver bracelet with panda pendants. I stared at the bracelet then blinked at him.

“What?” he raised a brow.

“Bakaki!” I smacked his head playfully

“You really think I looked like a panda to you?!” I asked him while giggling

“What’s wrong with that? Pandas are mecha kawai, ‘ya know!” he elbowed me on my side as I tried to wear the bracelet. He saw me struggling to wear it so he helped me.

“Demo… I like it” I said.

“Thanks, Yuya…” I thanked him.

“A-re, it’s rare for you to wear a watch” he noticed the white watch on my left wrist.

“Ah! It’s Ryu-chan’s gift, I just met him a while ago” I explained and looked at my both wrists and smiled.

“Ah~ So you met him already. I bumped into him at the train station and got a little chat with him.”

“Ah sou ka…” I mumbled still staring at the bracelet on my wrist.

“Hey! You’re spacing out again!”

“Ah! Gomen… You know friends are really important, ne?”

“Um!”

“And Hey!Say!JUMP is important to me”

“Me too” he nods

“But Yuya is one of the most caring to me…” we stared at each other for a moment.

“Arigatou” I smiled and pat his head. He became silent and nod down.

“Doushita no?” I asked him

“You’re also important to me, Kei” he started

            Wait, did he just call me by my first name?

He suddenly hugged me and as I felt his warm body on mine, I hugged him back.

“Yuya…” I mumbled as I snuggled closer. He palmed my face and kissed me for the first time. I just blinked in disbelief.

“I like you Inoo Kei” he said after that gentle kiss.

“I like you too, Takaki Yuya” I smiled at him and we joined our hands as we looked at the starry sky above us.
