A/N
LA LI HO! Thank you for your reviews…I think, I mean I don’t know if I am getting threaten or what? But it’s a good thing I have my two sexy bodyguards protecting me. ^___^ Right Takaya?
Takaya: Tch! You’re forcing us you bitch
Warrior: _ I am getting sick of you insulting me.
Takaya: Yeah well I am sick of you being handcuffed to me!! *Lifts wrist up and glares down at Warrior*
Warrior: So I lost the key, sue me.
Takaya: You little!
Warrior: You insult me and I will cut off your!
Naoe: Don’t you dare touch Lord Kagetora
Warrior: Back off! I have a hot guy and I know how to use him! *Grabs Takaya and hides behind him*
Takaya: Stop using me as your shield damn it!
Warrior: Quiet you. Naoe you continue with the barrier or I swear I will let Takaya have it…or let you have it, either way.
Naoe…yes
Warrior: *Evil grin*
Takaya: You know you can always ask Chiaki to just cast a protective barrier spell on you or why not just ask stupid Naoe to do that instead of forcing him to use his own powers!

Takaya: Gah! You stupid punk!
Warrior: Your young too you jerk face!!
Naoe: …Enjoy the next chapter…*continues casting the barrier while Warrior and Takaya continue fighting*
Chapter 52
“So take a few steps back like this, make sure your arms are spread like a butterfly, well no more like a bird.”
“Okay.” Julia looked at Rei as he continued to show her how to move. She began to follow him trying hard to get a hold of the dance style.
They have been practicing for over two hours now, the Spanish girl was already stressing due to the fact the dance was overwhelming and also due to a certain dual hair that continued drilling in her mind. She sighed and stopped making the raven hair stop as well and looked at her with concern.
“Julia if you don’t want to do this it’s alright. I am not forcing you too.”
She shook her head and sat herself down resting her head on her knees that she drew up close to her chest.
“I want to do it. I like it, it seems like a wonderful idea…it’s just.” She looked up at him with eyes full of pain and sorrow. “Rei…I want to hate you at this very moment.”
That made the raven hair take a step back and stare at her in shock.
“I understand…” His expression changed and he dropped his head.
“But I can’t…I can’t hate you. Rei why? Why did you do that?”
He kept his head down and stood in silence as the Spanish girl continued starring at him.
“I know you are confused…”
“I’m not confused. So please don’t tell me that. What I did in that hotel room. Kai…he just…it wasn’t what it seemed.” He lowered himself onto his knees and placed a hand over his eyes.
“…But he said…”
“He didn’t let me explain it to him, he just saw a mistake and ran out without letting me explain it to him.”
“Then you.”
“I love him with all my heart. I never loved anyone this much. It tears me apart, I feel, as my heart will never heal. There is this pain in me that make me want to dig a hole and die there. I can’t sleep or I can’t eat! Damn it! I love him and knowing that he used me! Knowing he didn’t want to listen! I understand that I was just an idiot. I was used…and knowing that even though I am the victim…he still gets away with what he said to me and now makes me look like the bad guy…” He began to cry softly and he placed now his two hands over his eyes. Embarrassed he was now crying in front of Julia. The Spanish girl sat there and stared at Rei as he cried.
“You truly love him?”
“Yes…I love him, I want to make this pain go away and start my life again, but I want him to be in it.” He lifted his head up and stared at her with eyes filled with tears. “Yet…yet now I lost him, just like I lost my Auntie Yohfa! I loved her just as much as I love Kai. Yet…yet she died! What hurts me more is…I got mad at her before she died. I wanted her to be with me forever! But she said she couldn’t…so instead of being a big boy…I yelled at her and said that I hated her, I hated her so much, that I was glad she would die…and then two days later…” Tears streamed down even more as he stared at Julia.
“Rei…” She quickly moved to him and embraced him tightly as he began to cry hard against her.
“I didn’t want to remember it. But my memories decided to show up all of a sudden! Julia I lost her! I lost my auntie Yohfa! I wanted her to die! I said I was glad…just because she said she couldn’t stay with me forever. Just because Kai left me when I was young…I took my anger out on her. The only person who was there for me, the only person who would make me feel happy while I tried to recover from a broken heart.”
She began to stroke his hair as he tightened his grip on her and cried harder making it echo inside the dance studio. The Spanish girl felt her tears fall as she held on to the broken down raven hair.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Takao kept his face buried into his pillow, he was so confused now. He wasn’t expecting the dual hair to do something so stupid. It was not right, Kai was not right at the moment, and to top it all off he confessed his feelings. Feelings he thought he buried along time ago. But he still loves Kai. Why?
Suddenly the lights were turned on and the sound of the door closing was heard. The bluenette kept his head down.
“Ty you asleep?” Mihaeru said as he sat on his own bed and began to untie his shoes. “Did you talk to him?” The light blond looked over at his lover with a bit of concern.
“Yeah”
“What happened?” He stared at Takao as he waited for a reply.
“The bastard is a nut…he almost ended up slitting his throat. He wanted me to kill him.” He mumbled into his pillow.
“Shit…what happened after?”
“I wanted to take him to the hospital…” He moved his head over to the side to stare at his lover. “But he said no.”
“Did you get to talk to him about Rei…I mean before all of that happened? Did you say that he loves him?”
The bluenette lowered his gaze as he began to chew the inside of his cheek.
“Takao?” He stood up and moved over to where his lover was laying. He sat down and began to rub the bluenette’s lower back tenderly.
“…”
“Ty what happened? You are acting different…almost hurt.” Suddenly he was roughly pulled down into a sloppy heated kiss, starling him. Tyson sucked hungrily at his lover’s tongue and enjoyed the small moan he gave out. “Takao...nnn stop. Not now.” He pulled away from the kiss and looked at his lover with flushed features. “What happened? Why are you acting like this? Did something happen between you and Kai? Did he say something horrible?”
“You know that I love you right?”
“Of course. I love you just as much.”
“Then you trust me right?”
“Yes.”
He sat up and embraced the light blond tightly in his arms.
“Then let me hold you, and no questions”
“Okay…”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“What do you want to tell me? Hurry up because I don’t have time to waste.”
“Oh yeah it really shows. You are real busy, trying to cut yourself! You are one fucked up homo! You act like you are suffering?”
“Listen if you are hear to bitch then I suggest you live. I don’t give a fuck to what you have to say. Especially from a sassy mouth bitch like yourself.” He stared at her with angry eyes.
“I wish you would die this very minute. If it were up to be I think I would gladly cut your throat and watch you bleed. You deserve death for your outrageous crime!”
“Are you here to lecture me!? What the hell do you want!?” He yelled out startling her for a bit but she regained her composure.
“That night what you saw.”
“I bet you were real happy finally being able to give your fiancé a boner huh?”
“…You damn bastard…I hate you so much! Why did you even bother with Rei!? Why did you screw him over!?”
“I was bored, he had a nice ass and I wanted to give it a test. Now he is all yours so just leave me alone and your damn preaching.”
“You fucking coward!! You are a coward and a liar!!”
The dual hair stared at her a bit surprised.
“Times up princess, you better go.”
He moved away from her and headed toward the bathroom in order to take care of his wound; that was now seeping through the bandage.
“Stop! I will make this quick and then you will never see me again.”
The dual hair kept his back still facing her.
“I’m listening.”
“What you saw…it was all a mistake. What you thought did not occur. In fact…that was nothing then a good bye kiss.” She lowered her head as she felt the tears form in her eyes.
“You say bye in the nude? I’m sorry I don’t buy made up shit like that. Now leave.”
“I’ll tell you why I was naked! I was drunk! I was drunk and I threw up! Rei needed to clean me up! Then I tried to seduce him, make him forget about you…but he refused, knocking me down and that is when I realized there was no chance between us. He loves you…you bastard…he loves you and continues loving you. I want you to go to him…please. Rei is unhappy now and only you can help him ease his pain. Please get back together.” She gripped her skirt as the tears streamed down her face.
“…Get out.” With that he slammed the bathroom door shut, leaving the red haired girl alone in the hotel room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tala wrapped his arms tighter around his lover. He nuzzled his nose into his hair and enjoyed the smell.
“I missed you so much babe.”
“…I did too.”
The red head began to sneak his hand under the covers placing it over the Spanish boy’s crotch; he slowly began to stroke it making Raul squirm.
“Stop it Tala.” He placed his hand over his lover’s trying to pull the hand away.
“Why?”
“…Rei…why did you say those things to him?” The red head stopped his ministrations.
“Raul please don’t start.”
“Tala I am not sure what happened…but he seems hurt. He is suffering as well.” He turned around so he was now on his side facing the red head giving him a sad expression.
“Fuck that! Kai is suffering compared to that whining idiot! Raul, love, you have no damn idea what my best friend has gone through! And now just because Rei couldn’t keep his dick in his pants he ruined Kai!”
“That’s not fair!!!” He yelled out loud and pushed away from his lover. “You don’t know how much Rei is suffering! His father is now disabled! He is blaming it on himself! When he sees his father he cries! I know I can tell! He is trying his best in this production! But he is slowly killing himself! He won’t come to anyone for help! He is not eating or sleeping; yet he continues pushing himself in order to redeem himself for his mistakes! He is confused! You can’t blame it on him!” The Spanish boy stood up from the bed and wrapped the sheets around his nude form. “I love you Tala! I really do, but the way you are treating Rei…you act like Kai is the only one who can suffer! Rei is not at fault! I hate you at this very moment!” With that he stormed out of the bedroom, leaving a now shocked Tala alone.
‘Raul…’
~The next day~
“Okay Mr. Kon let’s start over once more.” The nurses both guided the man over to the rail that was used to help walk and support. The man bit down on his lower lip as he was moved over to stand. Tears fell out as he supported himself on to the railing bars, trying hard to straighten up.
“Take in a few deep breaths sir. And try to relax. We are here.” The older woman placed her hand over his back and over his chest as he began to take in deep breaths. (Like if he was giving birth)
Ki Shou’s body began to tremble as he tried to straighten up, the pain was excruciating, the pain he felt in his spine was as if they had a bar in between the bones and were slowly popping them out of place. His breathing became heavy and the tears continued falling out.
“Just take it easy Mr. Kon. We are here holding you. If you can’t continue we can sit you down right away.”
“No…no I can do this.” He said in ragged breaths.
Lanfei kept her arms wrapped around her waist as she watched her husband go through rehab once more. It pained her seeing the tears stream down as h continued the torture of trying to stand up and move. She wanted to just walk over there and pull him into her arms, trying to take the pain away, but she knew it was not possible.
She suddenly felt a hand over her shoulder startling her. She turned around to see Garland.
“Lanfei, how is he doing?”
“Good, but it is painful for him.” She glanced back toward her husband and saw him with his head down, while still holding on to the rails.
“He is strong. He is still going at it. The nurses want him to stop.”
“Yes, they keep on talking to him, yet he doesn’t listen.”
“Now I know where Rei got his stubbornness from.”
“Yes.”
“What has the doctor said about his progress?”
“He is dong splendid. But, still he is not even completed with his rehab. He still can’t move his left arm. Which pains him.”
“I see.”
“How is my kitten?” She kept her gaze toward her husband.
“Fine, he is working hard with the dance. You will be proud.”
“We are always proud.”
They continued watching the man move slowly. He was moving half way down the railing, making Lanfei smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hitoshi watched as Kenny worked away with the special effects. He began to walk around the large St. Alex house, checking out the props, lights, and everything else for the production.
“Jin, are the podiums set up in the right place?”
The older man looks toward where the girl was calling out and began to scan over the positions of the podiums where Dong Bong Shinki and the main dancers were suppose to be positioned in.
“Place the taller podium in the center.” He called out to her.
“The one like a cross?”
“Yes that is where the angle will be located.”
“Okay.” The girl called back out and with the help of three more people they began to move it over.
He moved away from the area and headed toward the back to grab a cup of water.
“It’s looking wonderful.”
He turned around to see Brooklyn coming in from the back door.
“Brook. Hey.”
“Just wanted to check up on you and how the stage is looking.” He walked over to stand next to the taller man hi was now drinking.
“Well it is coming out just fine. We are just rearranging and working out how we will switch props and scenery during performance. Kenny is almost done with the special effects. We will be done before opening night.”
“Good.”
They stood together in silence watching everyone else work away.
“I am sorry, about what I said to you.”
“It’s alright. I am not upset. I understand.”
“No it isn’t alright. I shouldn’t have said any of those things. I have just been stressing out.”
“I know. Don’t be upset, I wasn’t hurt.”
“But still.”
“Brooklyn I told you it was fine. I mean hell I sometimes just want to yell at one my assistance when they screw up. This production is going to be big and of course there will be stress involved.” He placed the cup down onto the table and looked over at the orange hair. “We will soon be done and then we can relax. Plus this semester is almost over.”
“True. I am going to miss some of those kids.”
“Yes, but I am sure they will all come back.”
“Yeah.” He leaned against the broad shoulder of his lover and sighed.
“Is something else bothering you?”
“No, just tired.”
He was suddenly pulled in for a kiss, startling him at first but soon he responded back with more force. They pulled away after a while of kissing and stared at each other.
“I’ll make you dinner tonight.”
“Sounds great. And will you give me dessert?” The orange hair looked at his lover with a cheeky smile.
“Of course, special dessert just for you.”
“Hey Rei, Julia.”
They both turned around and saw Jejung smiling at them.
“Hey.”
“I just came to see how the dance was going?”
“You should ask Julia. She is the one performing it after all.” The raven hair grabbed his towel and began to dry his forehead from the sweat.
“It is coming out real well. Rei is an excellent teacher.” She smiled at the singer.
“Great news. I would love to see it.”
“Sorry Jejung, but you must wait until opening night.”
“How come?” He looked over at the raven hair with question on his face.
“Just cause I want you to be as surprised.” He smiled at the singer.
“Fine be that way.”
“Where is the rest of the group?” The Spanish girl looked at him.
“They are at lunch.”
“Oh. Speaking of lunch, I am rather hungry myself. Care to take a break and get something to eat?” She looked over at Rei.
“Yeah sure. Jejung care to join us?”
“Sounds good.”
“Great lets get going!” She smiled and hooked her arm around the raven hairs’ and the singer’s leading them both out of the practice room.
(After Julia and Rei changed)
“Hey Rei.”
“Hi Mihearu. How’s it going?”
“Good. What about with you?”
“Good too. Oh Mihaeru this is Julia and Jejung.”
“Pleasure. Oh Jejung wait a minute from DBSG?”
“Yes.”
“It is a great pleasure meeting you! I love your songs. They are awesome.”
“Thank you very much.”
“Oh um can you give me your autograph. Please?”
“Heh sure.”
“Ah thank you!!” With that he pulled out a pen and his notebook. Handing it to the singer. “Make it out to Mihaeru.”
He signed the notebook and handed it back to the light blond.
“Thank you again!” He bowed his head.
“Hey Mihaeru.”
“Yes?”
“Can you try not to make a scene I mean Jejung doesn’t want to fend off fans right now.”
“Oh sorry.” He blushed a bit and handed them their menus.
“Its alright. Just don’t say my name too much.”
“Of course. So can I get you guys drinks?”
“Pink Lemonade.” The Spanish girl said as she scanned through the menu.
“Ice Tea” Jeung said with a smile.
“A Coke.”
“Okay, I’ll be back in a bit.”
With that he left them alone.
“So what do you recommend for me to try?”
“A burger.” Rei placed the menu down.
“Come on Rei a burger? Why not get something much more delicious. How about trying out some Italian dishes?”
“Alright. Which one do you recommend Julia?”
“Brachiole”
“Brachio…what’s that?”
“Steak rolls.”
“Sounds delicious.”
“Oh they are.”
“Okay.”
“Good.” She smiled and went back to her menu. In a bit Mihaeru came along with their drinks and put them in place. He asked for their orders and noted them down. He grabbed the menus and walked off living the three to talk about their business.
“So after the production you’re going back to Korea?” Rei looked over at the singer who nodded. “Well that sucks. I wish you could stay longer, I mean we didn’t really spend time to hang out and all”
“Yes. Well maybe some other time. Or you can always visit Korea and I can show you around.”
“Sounds great.”
They sat in silence for a bit. Suddenly a figure stood in front of their table making them look over. Rei’s eyes widen at the person standing there.
“What the fuck do you want!?”
“It’s nice seeing you too my porcelain doll.”
Rei stood up and stared at the platinum hair with an anger look and hatred.
“Get the fuck out. I’ll make sure the police arrest you once more.”
“Really? And why will they arrest me?”
“Cause you fucking mo!” He quickly bit his tongue when he realized he was Julia and Jejung. “Boris just leave me the fuck alone.” He snarled.
“And who is your friend?” He glanced down toward the handsome singer and just gave him a smug look.
“None of your damn business. Not get lost.”
“I will leave soon. I only wanted to see how my doll was doing. I missed you.”
“Fuck you.”
“Still have the fowl mouth I see.”
“When your around yeah.”
“I shall leave then. Please stay away from my doll.”
“Excuse me?” Jejung stared at the platinum hair in confusion.
“I noticed how much you stare at him. Yes he is very attractive, but he belongs to me. So don’t you dare lay a finger on him. Unless you want me to cut of your penis.”
“Get out!!” The raven hair roughly shoved Boris away from the table and held his fists up ready to sock the bastard.
Everyone in the restaurant stared over at the commotion. The platinum hair smirked at the angry Rei.
“I still don’t understand you my precious doll. Why can’t you accept the fact that you have been used? Forget him and just be with me forever.”
“Fuck you! Get the fuck out before I beat the crap out of you right here!” He yelled out loud making everyone stared at him in shock and fright.
“Excuse me sir. I need to ask you to leave please.”
The platinum hair turned around to stare at Mihaeru who looked at him with annoyance.
“Fine.” He glanced back toward the raven hair and smiled. “I’ll see you and your attractive body around.” With that he stepped out of the building. Everyone else soon went back to his or her business.
“Rei you okay?” The light blond walked over to the raver hair.
“Shit…why won’t he leave me alone.” He glanced over to where Julia and Jejung were seated. They were staring at him in confusion. The singer especially, he had a look of surprise and confusion.
“Want me to call the cops?”
“No…I need to go.”
“But what about?”
“I can’t face Jejung after that. He is going to ask me what that was about. Tell them I went to my room, I wasn’t feeling well. I’ll give you the money for the meal.” He handed the light blond 40 dollars and quickly stepped out of the restaurant.
Millie peeked from under her bed, giggling when she saw Rei looking around the room. Hey were playing hide n seek. Rei went over to visit his father, but the man was at the moment getting his sponge bath so he decided to visit the small girl while he waited.
“Huh I wonder where did she go? Did she go invisible?” The raven hair began to pretend to look around and act confused, but he knew she was under the bed. “Could she be under the bed!” He kneeled down quickly and saw the girl who gave out a small gasp. “Found you.”
“Boo.” She stuck out her tongue as she crawled out from under her bed. “Want to play again?” She asked as she climbed up her bed.
“Why not rest for a bit?” He sat down and looked over at her, she gave him a pout.
“I always rest, I am tried of just resting everyday. It makes me feel sicker.” She crossed her small arms over her chest as she continued to pout.
“I’m sorry Millie. But I promised not to force your body to do so much exercise.”
“I know. I just hate it. It makes me sad, a lot of kids can play and go out, but me…I can’t. I’m stuck here and it is boring.”
“You will soon get better. So don’t lose hope.”
“I know…”
Rei watched the small girl kick her feet back and forth as she just started out the window.
“Millie would you like to come and see my performance this Friday?”
The girl looked over at him in surprise.
“Ah! Really?”
“I want you to come and be my special guest, and your parents can come of course.” He smiled at her.
“Thank you!! I can’t wait!! I will be there!!” She jumped off her bed and ran toward the raven hair climbing up his lap and wrapping her arms around his neck. He rubbed her back and laughed as she continued thanking him.
“I’ll bring you the ticket on Friday morning.”
“Ah yes! Can’t wait!” She pulled away from the hug and smiled at him.
“Millie its time for your check up.” A young female nurse with glasses came in.
“Ah Sandra! Guess what? Rei invited me over for his dance concert! I’m going!”
“Oh that’s wonderful. I hope you have fun.” She looked over at the raven hair. “Will you excuse us for a bit?”
“Oh sure. See you Friday kiddo.” He kissed her cheek and placed her down, she hugged him and he soon stepped out closing the door behind him.
‘I better go check out if dad is done.’ With that he made his way toward his father’s room.
“Knock knock” He stuck his head inside to peek.
“Rei hey come on in.” Ki Shou waved his good arm at his son.
“Hey Dad. I wanted to see how you were doing?”
“Better. I will be able to see the production.”
“Great.”
“Two more days, excited?”
“Yeah. Nervous too. I still don’t know who the leading girl is.”
“…It will be fine. Just don’t think about it or else you might not focus on the dance.”
“Yeah I’ll try.”
Ki Shou stared at his son for a while and noticed the boy looking a bit down. He bit his lower lip and took in a deep breath.
“Have you seen Kai around?” He kept his voice low as he watched his son for any sudden emotion changes.
“No…I haven’t”
“I see. I wanted to see how he was doing in Europe…and just talk to him.”
“…”
“I bet he is upset at the moment too. I would like to have a talk with him just to see if his health is alright and all.”
“I need to get going, need to finish up some assignments. See you Friday dad.” He made his way toward his father and hugged him.
“Be careful on your way back”
“Yeah. Later.”
With that he left the older man alone in his room. Ki Shou stared at the entrance and then glanced down at the phone.
“So your old man is being released to attend your production?” Takao looked up from his book toward Rei who was in the kitchen making snacks.
“Actually they are releasing him completely. After production they are going back home. There my dad is going to be seeing someone who will help him in his rehab. He is doing real well so before you know it he will be back to normal…well almost. His right leg will never work again.” He sighed as he poured the soft drinks in glass cups.
“He will recover perfectly. Just have faith.” Mihaeru looked over at the raven hair with a smile.
Rei did not respond he kept his concentration on the snacks. After a few minutes he came over to the small living room and placed the tray of snacks on the coffee table.
“You guys with show up for this show right?”
“You bet buddy!” He gave the raven hair a big grin. “We will be there, in fact we will be there an hour early! And we will be rooting for you, hell we will bring a banner and cheer when you are performing.”
“Heh thanks but please don’t do the banner stuff. We will need it quiet you know.”
“I know, only joking with you bud.” He grabbed the small piece of sandwich and stuffed it in his mouth.
“Any other dances after this one?”
“No, this is the last one after all this semester is almost over.”
“Yeah…how fast time passes by.” The bluenette grabbed his glass and began to drink from it.
“Don’t worry Ty we will all be back soon. Right Rei?”
“….” He picked up his pen and began to write in his notebook.
“Rei?” The light blond looked over at the raven hair with curiosity.
“Sorry to say this guys, but I’m not coming back.”
“What!?” they both said and looked over at him in shock.
“I’m going to go home and help out with my family’s company.”
“But what about your dream!?”
“Sorry Ty, but my mom will need all the help she can get. Also I will be able to perform now and teach dancing to all the kids who come in.”
“But that isn’t what you want. You are only going to run the business. Don’t you want to travel around the world? Don’t you want to become famous? You are just going to me an instructor.” Mihaeru stared at him with a sad look.
“There’s nothing I can do. I thought it through and I made up my mind. After this semester I am going home with my parents.” He smiled sadly as he scribbled inside his notebook.
His two friends only looked at each other with sad expressions.
~Thursday~
“Morning class!”
“Morning Brooklyn!”
The orange hair smiled at his class as he sat at the edge of the stage.
“Tomorrow is the big day, so today we will do a few practice bits and of course make sure all of the outfits are perfect fits and all. We will be meeting at St. Alex house before opening. It shall begin at 8pm so you must be there two hours before for preparations. Any questions you may come and ask me after class or even in my office until 10pm tonight. Now let’s get ready and do some stretching then we will begin.” With that he clapped his hands and everyone began to move, preparing themselves.
“Rei?” Raul looked at the sleeping raven hair. He shook him by the shoulder lightly. “Hey Rei?”
“Uh sorry!’ He quickly sat up straight and stared at the Spanish boy with a shock expression.
“Relax it’s just me.”
“Oh hey Raul.” He covered his mouth as he let out a yawn.
“You feeling okay?”
“Yeah. Why you asking?”
“Well you were sleeping just now, and you are looking thinner…I’m sorry if I sound nosy but.”
“I’m fine. Just stayed up late last night finishing up some papers for English. Um what did Brooklyn say?”
“Everyone is stretching right now for practice and tomorrow we meet at St. Alex two hours before opening, opening is at 8pm.” He sat down next to Rei who was now trying to wake himself up all the way.
“Okay, I better start to.”
“Why not ask Brooklyn to let you go home today? You look too tired.”
“Its fine, dancing will wake me up.” He smiled at the Spanish boy who only looked down. “What’s wrong?”
Before Raul was able to reply the door of the class opened and everyone glanced to see who entered. Rei’s eyes widen as he saw Kai standing there. He was wearing a red turtleneck, that fit him like a second skin a pair of well-fitted black jeans and he had on a long black overcoat. He had on a pair of shades so the raven hair was not able to see the crimson eyes looking around the class. The dual hair saw Rei, but quickly looked away he walked down the aisle toward Brooklyn.
Rei continued staring at the dual hair as he walked passed him as if he was not even there. The raven hair felt his chest tighten, a pain that felt as if it might kill him. His eyes began to water as he watched the back of Kai.
‘Kai…you can’t see me can you? That is how much I disgust you? I hate you…you used me and yet you make me feel like the criminal…why?’
“Rei?” Raul placed his hand over the raven hair’s shoulder as he saw the now hurt expression he was showing.
The tears he held them, he clutched his chest as he watched Kai talk to Brooklyn and they both made their way toward his office. He bit down on his lower lip as he watched the door closing behind them, but not until he got a glimpse of Kai staring back at him, then the door was shut.
Anger filled him and so did pain. He needed air. He quickly stood from his seat and made his way out. He ignored Raul’s call and continued leaving the building. The tears finally escaped, he began to run as he felt his heart shatter from the image of Kai.
‘What is he doing here? Why did he show up to class? Why? Why are you doing this to me!?’ He screamed in his mind as he ran far from the building. He suddenly slammed hard into someone. He lifted his head up and saw Tala staring back at him with annoyance.
“What the hell!? You idiot why don’t you watch where you are going?” He looked at the broken looking raven hair with anger, but soon his expression changed as he saw Rei with the tears streaming down. “Rei…are you—“
“You happy!? You fucking enjoy seeing me this way!?”
“…What are you talking about?”
“I only care for myself! Ain’t that right!? That’s why I am crying! That’s why I cry myself to sleep every night! You had no right…Kai hurt me…he hurt me so badly just now…just now he walked in as if I wasn’t there…as if I never even existed! You have no idea how much I am going through right now. But no! You just care for that bastard! You go on his side! You can’t listen to my story! I hate you! I hate this fucking college! I hate this fucking place! I hate everyone! I hate Boris! Salima! Kai! But especially myself! Because I fell in love with a guy! A guy who I hated and never wanted to be friends with, but instead I became his lover! I loved him! I still love him! And you or anybody else will never know how much I love him and how much my heart is breaking! You fucking bastard!” He fell to his knees as he cried harder.
The red head watched him cry, ignoring the now onlookers.
‘The idiot…the idiot loves him. He isn’t lying. No one not even an actor…can act that way. Kai…what now?’
“This is a surprise. How is it going in Europe Kai?” The orange hair folded his hands and placed them on top of the desk as he looked over at the dual hair who sat in front of him.
“Whatever.” He removed his sunglasses and placed them up on his head. “Tomorrow is the big day?”
“That’s right. Are you going to attend?”
“I don’t think so. I only wanted t see how Mr. And Mrs. Kon were doing. I also had business to take care of.”
“I see. You haven’t visited Ki Shou in the hospital?”
“No, I wanted to see them during the performance.”
“Well why not just visit him today?”
“….” He looked away and crossed his arms over his chest.
“I see. Why the sudden visit though? Why not wait after class?”
“Just wanted to see practice.”
“Feeling nostalgic? I mean after leaving and now you are back. I bet you feel homesick when it comes to dancing here am I right?”
The dual hair closes his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest.
Brooklyn only smiled.
“You wanted to see Rei am I right?”
Kai snapped his eyes open and just stared at the orange hair in shock. He only watched the small grin playing on Brooklyn’s face, but soon he regain his composure and stared at him with a serious look.
“Why did you say that?”
“Cause you aren’t the type to just visit someone cause you wanted to talk, especially to me. Kai you are here cause you wanted to see him right? Well why not talk to him? I am sure he will be happy seeing you.”
The dual hair looked away.
“I see, that’s why he hasn’t been looking too healthy lately. Kai did you two get in a fight? Did you break up?”
“My personal life is none of your damn business. I need to get going.” He stood from his seat and made his way out of the room, leaving a now surprised Brooklyn behind.
‘I guess it is serious. Life keeps getting harder and harder.’ He sighed and stood from his seat to go back to his class.
Tala watched Rei as the raven hair was finally gaining his control back. They were seated on one of the benches nearby the dance building. Rei kept his head rest on his hand as he just stared down at the floor. He stopped crying but continued sniffling.
The red head began to scratch the side of his neck as they sat in silence.
‘What should I say to him? Shit Raul was right…but still.’ He once more looked down at Rei. ‘He is going through a lot, just like Kai went through with Wyatt.’
“Sorry.”
Tala looked over at him as soon as he heard his voice.
“For what?”
“Making a scene. I…I just felt like I was going to lose it, I didn’t know how to react. He just walked in there as if nothing happened. Like, like if I was a toy for him and it did not bother him one bit.”
‘I can’t believe Kai left without even telling me. Bastard had me worried. Why the hell he even came here?’ He looked at Rei as the raven hair clutched unto his jeans. ‘For him, that’s why he came. He wanted to see Rei. He still loves him. They both love each other, yet…they are stubborn and only are hurting each other. Damn pride.’
“I am the one who should be sorry.”
The raven hair glanced over at the red head with surprise.
“Because I did not hear you out. Because I did not give you a chance to explain your story, and for hitting you and just telling you to get the hell away.”
“….”
“It’s just, Rei you don’t know what he went through. And I just can’t see him go through it again.”
“…Wyatt?” He looked over at the red head who only nodded.
“I can’t let it happen again. When Wyatt died, it was as a piece of Kai died along with him. He got laser surgery. A way to remove all the scars.”
“Scars?”
“Kai cut his arms…he always ended up cutting himself after Wyatt’s death. He needed to wear long sleeves, anything to cover up the scars. When he finally started recovering he decided to get surgery to remove his scars, his reminders. He wanted to forget.”
“…He was a cutter?”
“To ease the pain he felt inside, he needed to forget by inflicting physical pain instead. It hurt me deeply, I felt as if I couldn’t help him in any way. So when he told me what happened between you and your ex. You should have seen him, right now he is suffering but he won’t show it. He doesn’t want anyone to give him pity. He will move on. He did before, and he will again. Maybe you should too.”
Silence.
“Raul is upset you are suffering, so forget about Kai. Don’t hurt yourself more. Rei move on, you will find someone else, someone better. Kai will move on, he will forget about you like he did with Wyatt.”
Rei lowered his head and clutched harder unto his jeans.
“Rei, please. To stop hurting each other.”
“I’m sorry. I can’t.” He lifted his head up and stared at Tala with a sad smile. “I love his too much to just forget. He can forget me and move on, but I will continue loving him until I die.”
The red head watched Rei in surprised. His eyes widen more when he realized a certain dual hair standing behind him.
“Kai…?”
Rei looked behind and saw Kai looking down on him, his eyes hidden behind his shades.
They both stared at each other. No words exchanged.
TBC.

Chapter 52
“So take a few steps back like this, make sure your arms are spread like a butterfly, well no more like a bird.”
“Okay.” Julia looked at Rei as he continued to show her how to move. She began to follow him trying hard to get a hold of the dance style.
They have been practicing for over two hours now, the Spanish girl was already stressing due to the fact the dance was overwhelming and also due to a certain dual hair that continued drilling in her mind. She sighed and stopped making the raven hair stop as well and looked at her with concern.
“Julia if you don’t want to do this it’s alright. I am not forcing you too.”
She shook her head and sat herself down resting her head on her knees that she drew up close to her chest.
“I want to do it. I like it, it seems like a wonderful idea…it’s just.” She looked up at him with eyes full of pain and sorrow. “Rei…I want to hate you at this very moment.”
That made the raven hair take a step back and stare at her in shock.
“I understand…” His expression changed and he dropped his head.
“But I can’t…I can’t hate you. Rei why? Why did you do that?”
He kept his head down and stood in silence as the Spanish girl continued starring at him.
“I know you are confused…”
“I’m not confused. So please don’t tell me that. What I did in that hotel room. Kai…he just…it wasn’t what it seemed.” He lowered himself onto his knees and placed a hand over his eyes.
“…But he said…”
“He didn’t let me explain it to him, he just saw a mistake and ran out without letting me explain it to him.”
“Then you.”
“I love him with all my heart. I never loved anyone this much. It tears me apart, I feel, as my heart will never heal. There is this pain in me that make me want to dig a hole and die there. I can’t sleep or I can’t eat! Damn it! I love him and knowing that he used me! Knowing he didn’t want to listen! I understand that I was just an idiot. I was used…and knowing that even though I am the victim…he still gets away with what he said to me and now makes me look like the bad guy…” He began to cry softly and he placed now his two hands over his eyes. Embarrassed he was now crying in front of Julia. The Spanish girl sat there and stared at Rei as he cried.
“You truly love him?”
“Yes…I love him, I want to make this pain go away and start my life again, but I want him to be in it.” He lifted his head up and stared at her with eyes filled with tears. “Yet…yet now I lost him, just like I lost my Auntie Yohfa! I loved her just as much as I love Kai. Yet…yet she died! What hurts me more is…I got mad at her before she died. I wanted her to be with me forever! But she said she couldn’t…so instead of being a big boy…I yelled at her and said that I hated her, I hated her so much, that I was glad she would die…and then two days later…” Tears streamed down even more as he stared at Julia.
“Rei…” She quickly moved to him and embraced him tightly as he began to cry hard against her.
“I didn’t want to remember it. But my memories decided to show up all of a sudden! Julia I lost her! I lost my auntie Yohfa! I wanted her to die! I said I was glad…just because she said she couldn’t stay with me forever. Just because Kai left me when I was young…I took my anger out on her. The only person who was there for me, the only person who would make me feel happy while I tried to recover from a broken heart.”
She began to stroke his hair as he tightened his grip on her and cried harder making it echo inside the dance studio. The Spanish girl felt her tears fall as she held on to the broken down raven hair.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Takao kept his face buried into his pillow, he was so confused now. He wasn’t expecting the dual hair to do something so stupid. It was not right, Kai was not right at the moment, and to top it all off he confessed his feelings. Feelings he thought he buried along time ago. But he still loves Kai. Why?
Suddenly the lights were turned on and the sound of the door closing was heard. The bluenette kept his head down.
“Ty you asleep?” Mihaeru said as he sat on his own bed and began to untie his shoes. “Did you talk to him?” The light blond looked over at his lover with a bit of concern.
“Yeah”
“What happened?” He stared at Takao as he waited for a reply.
“The bastard is a nut…he almost ended up slitting his throat. He wanted me to kill him.” He mumbled into his pillow.
“Shit…what happened after?”
“I wanted to take him to the hospital…” He moved his head over to the side to stare at his lover. “But he said no.”
“Did you get to talk to him about Rei…I mean before all of that happened? Did you say that he loves him?”
The bluenette lowered his gaze as he began to chew the inside of his cheek.
“Takao?” He stood up and moved over to where his lover was laying. He sat down and began to rub the bluenette’s lower back tenderly.
“…”
“Ty what happened? You are acting different…almost hurt.” Suddenly he was roughly pulled down into a sloppy heated kiss, starling him. Tyson sucked hungrily at his lover’s tongue and enjoyed the small moan he gave out. “Takao...nnn stop. Not now.” He pulled away from the kiss and looked at his lover with flushed features. “What happened? Why are you acting like this? Did something happen between you and Kai? Did he say something horrible?”
“You know that I love you right?”
“Of course. I love you just as much.”
“Then you trust me right?”
“Yes.”
He sat up and embraced the light blond tightly in his arms.
“Then let me hold you, and no questions”
“Okay…”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“What do you want to tell me? Hurry up because I don’t have time to waste.”
“Oh yeah it really shows. You are real busy, trying to cut yourself! You are one fucked up homo! You act like you are suffering?”
“Listen if you are hear to bitch then I suggest you live. I don’t give a fuck to what you have to say. Especially from a sassy mouth bitch like yourself.” He stared at her with angry eyes.
“I wish you would die this very minute. If it were up to be I think I would gladly cut your throat and watch you bleed. You deserve death for your outrageous crime!”
“Are you here to lecture me!? What the hell do you want!?” He yelled out startling her for a bit but she regained her composure.
“That night what you saw.”
“I bet you were real happy finally being able to give your fiancé a boner huh?”
“…You damn bastard…I hate you so much! Why did you even bother with Rei!? Why did you screw him over!?”
“I was bored, he had a nice ass and I wanted to give it a test. Now he is all yours so just leave me alone and your damn preaching.”
“You fucking coward!! You are a coward and a liar!!”
The dual hair stared at her a bit surprised.
“Times up princess, you better go.”
He moved away from her and headed toward the bathroom in order to take care of his wound; that was now seeping through the bandage.
“Stop! I will make this quick and then you will never see me again.”
The dual hair kept his back still facing her.
“I’m listening.”
“What you saw…it was all a mistake. What you thought did not occur. In fact…that was nothing then a good bye kiss.” She lowered her head as she felt the tears form in her eyes.
“You say bye in the nude? I’m sorry I don’t buy made up shit like that. Now leave.”
“I’ll tell you why I was naked! I was drunk! I was drunk and I threw up! Rei needed to clean me up! Then I tried to seduce him, make him forget about you…but he refused, knocking me down and that is when I realized there was no chance between us. He loves you…you bastard…he loves you and continues loving you. I want you to go to him…please. Rei is unhappy now and only you can help him ease his pain. Please get back together.” She gripped her skirt as the tears streamed down her face.
“…Get out.” With that he slammed the bathroom door shut, leaving the red haired girl alone in the hotel room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tala wrapped his arms tighter around his lover. He nuzzled his nose into his hair and enjoyed the smell.
“I missed you so much babe.”
“…I did too.”
The red head began to sneak his hand under the covers placing it over the Spanish boy’s crotch; he slowly began to stroke it making Raul squirm.
“Stop it Tala.” He placed his hand over his lover’s trying to pull the hand away.
“Why?”
“…Rei…why did you say those things to him?” The red head stopped his ministrations.
“Raul please don’t start.”
“Tala I am not sure what happened…but he seems hurt. He is suffering as well.” He turned around so he was now on his side facing the red head giving him a sad expression.
“Fuck that! Kai is suffering compared to that whining idiot! Raul, love, you have no damn idea what my best friend has gone through! And now just because Rei couldn’t keep his dick in his pants he ruined Kai!”
“That’s not fair!!!” He yelled out loud and pushed away from his lover. “You don’t know how much Rei is suffering! His father is now disabled! He is blaming it on himself! When he sees his father he cries! I know I can tell! He is trying his best in this production! But he is slowly killing himself! He won’t come to anyone for help! He is not eating or sleeping; yet he continues pushing himself in order to redeem himself for his mistakes! He is confused! You can’t blame it on him!” The Spanish boy stood up from the bed and wrapped the sheets around his nude form. “I love you Tala! I really do, but the way you are treating Rei…you act like Kai is the only one who can suffer! Rei is not at fault! I hate you at this very moment!” With that he stormed out of the bedroom, leaving a now shocked Tala alone.
‘Raul…’
~The next day~
“Okay Mr. Kon let’s start over once more.” The nurses both guided the man over to the rail that was used to help walk and support. The man bit down on his lower lip as he was moved over to stand. Tears fell out as he supported himself on to the railing bars, trying hard to straighten up.
“Take in a few deep breaths sir. And try to relax. We are here.” The older woman placed her hand over his back and over his chest as he began to take in deep breaths. (Like if he was giving birth)
Ki Shou’s body began to tremble as he tried to straighten up, the pain was excruciating, the pain he felt in his spine was as if they had a bar in between the bones and were slowly popping them out of place. His breathing became heavy and the tears continued falling out.
“Just take it easy Mr. Kon. We are here holding you. If you can’t continue we can sit you down right away.”
“No…no I can do this.” He said in ragged breaths.
Lanfei kept her arms wrapped around her waist as she watched her husband go through rehab once more. It pained her seeing the tears stream down as h continued the torture of trying to stand up and move. She wanted to just walk over there and pull him into her arms, trying to take the pain away, but she knew it was not possible.
She suddenly felt a hand over her shoulder startling her. She turned around to see Garland.
“Lanfei, how is he doing?”
“Good, but it is painful for him.” She glanced back toward her husband and saw him with his head down, while still holding on to the rails.
“He is strong. He is still going at it. The nurses want him to stop.”
“Yes, they keep on talking to him, yet he doesn’t listen.”
“Now I know where Rei got his stubbornness from.”
“Yes.”
“What has the doctor said about his progress?”
“He is dong splendid. But, still he is not even completed with his rehab. He still can’t move his left arm. Which pains him.”
“I see.”
“How is my kitten?” She kept her gaze toward her husband.
“Fine, he is working hard with the dance. You will be proud.”
“We are always proud.”
They continued watching the man move slowly. He was moving half way down the railing, making Lanfei smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hitoshi watched as Kenny worked away with the special effects. He began to walk around the large St. Alex house, checking out the props, lights, and everything else for the production.
“Jin, are the podiums set up in the right place?”
The older man looks toward where the girl was calling out and began to scan over the positions of the podiums where Dong Bong Shinki and the main dancers were suppose to be positioned in.
“Place the taller podium in the center.” He called out to her.
“The one like a cross?”
“Yes that is where the angle will be located.”
“Okay.” The girl called back out and with the help of three more people they began to move it over.
He moved away from the area and headed toward the back to grab a cup of water.
“It’s looking wonderful.”
He turned around to see Brooklyn coming in from the back door.
“Brook. Hey.”
“Just wanted to check up on you and how the stage is looking.” He walked over to stand next to the taller man hi was now drinking.
“Well it is coming out just fine. We are just rearranging and working out how we will switch props and scenery during performance. Kenny is almost done with the special effects. We will be done before opening night.”
“Good.”
They stood together in silence watching everyone else work away.
“I am sorry, about what I said to you.”
“It’s alright. I am not upset. I understand.”
“No it isn’t alright. I shouldn’t have said any of those things. I have just been stressing out.”
“I know. Don’t be upset, I wasn’t hurt.”
“But still.”
“Brooklyn I told you it was fine. I mean hell I sometimes just want to yell at one my assistance when they screw up. This production is going to be big and of course there will be stress involved.” He placed the cup down onto the table and looked over at the orange hair. “We will soon be done and then we can relax. Plus this semester is almost over.”
“True. I am going to miss some of those kids.”
“Yes, but I am sure they will all come back.”
“Yeah.” He leaned against the broad shoulder of his lover and sighed.
“Is something else bothering you?”
“No, just tired.”
He was suddenly pulled in for a kiss, startling him at first but soon he responded back with more force. They pulled away after a while of kissing and stared at each other.
“I’ll make you dinner tonight.”
“Sounds great. And will you give me dessert?” The orange hair looked at his lover with a cheeky smile.
“Of course, special dessert just for you.”
“Hey Rei, Julia.”
They both turned around and saw Jejung smiling at them.
“Hey.”
“I just came to see how the dance was going?”
“You should ask Julia. She is the one performing it after all.” The raven hair grabbed his towel and began to dry his forehead from the sweat.
“It is coming out real well. Rei is an excellent teacher.” She smiled at the singer.
“Great news. I would love to see it.”
“Sorry Jejung, but you must wait until opening night.”
“How come?” He looked over at the raven hair with question on his face.
“Just cause I want you to be as surprised.” He smiled at the singer.
“Fine be that way.”
“Where is the rest of the group?” The Spanish girl looked at him.
“They are at lunch.”
“Oh. Speaking of lunch, I am rather hungry myself. Care to take a break and get something to eat?” She looked over at Rei.
“Yeah sure. Jejung care to join us?”
“Sounds good.”
“Great lets get going!” She smiled and hooked her arm around the raven hairs’ and the singer’s leading them both out of the practice room.
(After Julia and Rei changed)
“Hey Rei.”
“Hi Mihearu. How’s it going?”
“Good. What about with you?”
“Good too. Oh Mihaeru this is Julia and Jejung.”
“Pleasure. Oh Jejung wait a minute from DBSG?”
“Yes.”
“It is a great pleasure meeting you! I love your songs. They are awesome.”
“Thank you very much.”
“Oh um can you give me your autograph. Please?”
“Heh sure.”
“Ah thank you!!” With that he pulled out a pen and his notebook. Handing it to the singer. “Make it out to Mihaeru.”
He signed the notebook and handed it back to the light blond.
“Thank you again!” He bowed his head.
“Hey Mihaeru.”
“Yes?”
“Can you try not to make a scene I mean Jejung doesn’t want to fend off fans right now.”
“Oh sorry.” He blushed a bit and handed them their menus.
“Its alright. Just don’t say my name too much.”
“Of course. So can I get you guys drinks?”
“Pink Lemonade.” The Spanish girl said as she scanned through the menu.
“Ice Tea” Jeung said with a smile.
“A Coke.”
“Okay, I’ll be back in a bit.”
With that he left them alone.
“So what do you recommend for me to try?”
“A burger.” Rei placed the menu down.
“Come on Rei a burger? Why not get something much more delicious. How about trying out some Italian dishes?”
“Alright. Which one do you recommend Julia?”
“Brachiole”
“Brachio…what’s that?”
“Steak rolls.”
“Sounds delicious.”
“Oh they are.”
“Okay.”
“Good.” She smiled and went back to her menu. In a bit Mihaeru came along with their drinks and put them in place. He asked for their orders and noted them down. He grabbed the menus and walked off living the three to talk about their business.
“So after the production you’re going back to Korea?” Rei looked over at the singer who nodded. “Well that sucks. I wish you could stay longer, I mean we didn’t really spend time to hang out and all”
“Yes. Well maybe some other time. Or you can always visit Korea and I can show you around.”
“Sounds great.”
They sat in silence for a bit. Suddenly a figure stood in front of their table making them look over. Rei’s eyes widen at the person standing there.
“What the fuck do you want!?”
“It’s nice seeing you too my porcelain doll.”
Rei stood up and stared at the platinum hair with an anger look and hatred.
“Get the fuck out. I’ll make sure the police arrest you once more.”
“Really? And why will they arrest me?”
“Cause you fucking mo!” He quickly bit his tongue when he realized he was Julia and Jejung. “Boris just leave me the fuck alone.” He snarled.
“And who is your friend?” He glanced down toward the handsome singer and just gave him a smug look.
“None of your damn business. Not get lost.”
“I will leave soon. I only wanted to see how my doll was doing. I missed you.”
“Fuck you.”
“Still have the fowl mouth I see.”
“When your around yeah.”
“I shall leave then. Please stay away from my doll.”
“Excuse me?” Jejung stared at the platinum hair in confusion.
“I noticed how much you stare at him. Yes he is very attractive, but he belongs to me. So don’t you dare lay a finger on him. Unless you want me to cut of your penis.”
“Get out!!” The raven hair roughly shoved Boris away from the table and held his fists up ready to sock the bastard.
Everyone in the restaurant stared over at the commotion. The platinum hair smirked at the angry Rei.
“I still don’t understand you my precious doll. Why can’t you accept the fact that you have been used? Forget him and just be with me forever.”
“Fuck you! Get the fuck out before I beat the crap out of you right here!” He yelled out loud making everyone stared at him in shock and fright.
“Excuse me sir. I need to ask you to leave please.”
The platinum hair turned around to stare at Mihaeru who looked at him with annoyance.
“Fine.” He glanced back toward the raven hair and smiled. “I’ll see you and your attractive body around.” With that he stepped out of the building. Everyone else soon went back to his or her business.
“Rei you okay?” The light blond walked over to the raver hair.
“Shit…why won’t he leave me alone.” He glanced over to where Julia and Jejung were seated. They were staring at him in confusion. The singer especially, he had a look of surprise and confusion.
“Want me to call the cops?”
“No…I need to go.”
“But what about?”
“I can’t face Jejung after that. He is going to ask me what that was about. Tell them I went to my room, I wasn’t feeling well. I’ll give you the money for the meal.” He handed the light blond 40 dollars and quickly stepped out of the restaurant.
Millie peeked from under her bed, giggling when she saw Rei looking around the room. Hey were playing hide n seek. Rei went over to visit his father, but the man was at the moment getting his sponge bath so he decided to visit the small girl while he waited.
“Huh I wonder where did she go? Did she go invisible?” The raven hair began to pretend to look around and act confused, but he knew she was under the bed. “Could she be under the bed!” He kneeled down quickly and saw the girl who gave out a small gasp. “Found you.”
“Boo.” She stuck out her tongue as she crawled out from under her bed. “Want to play again?” She asked as she climbed up her bed.
“Why not rest for a bit?” He sat down and looked over at her, she gave him a pout.
“I always rest, I am tried of just resting everyday. It makes me feel sicker.” She crossed her small arms over her chest as she continued to pout.
“I’m sorry Millie. But I promised not to force your body to do so much exercise.”
“I know. I just hate it. It makes me sad, a lot of kids can play and go out, but me…I can’t. I’m stuck here and it is boring.”
“You will soon get better. So don’t lose hope.”
“I know…”
Rei watched the small girl kick her feet back and forth as she just started out the window.
“Millie would you like to come and see my performance this Friday?”
The girl looked over at him in surprise.
“Ah! Really?”
“I want you to come and be my special guest, and your parents can come of course.” He smiled at her.
“Thank you!! I can’t wait!! I will be there!!” She jumped off her bed and ran toward the raven hair climbing up his lap and wrapping her arms around his neck. He rubbed her back and laughed as she continued thanking him.
“I’ll bring you the ticket on Friday morning.”
“Ah yes! Can’t wait!” She pulled away from the hug and smiled at him.
“Millie its time for your check up.” A young female nurse with glasses came in.
“Ah Sandra! Guess what? Rei invited me over for his dance concert! I’m going!”
“Oh that’s wonderful. I hope you have fun.” She looked over at the raven hair. “Will you excuse us for a bit?”
“Oh sure. See you Friday kiddo.” He kissed her cheek and placed her down, she hugged him and he soon stepped out closing the door behind him.
‘I better go check out if dad is done.’ With that he made his way toward his father’s room.
“Knock knock” He stuck his head inside to peek.
“Rei hey come on in.” Ki Shou waved his good arm at his son.
“Hey Dad. I wanted to see how you were doing?”
“Better. I will be able to see the production.”
“Great.”
“Two more days, excited?”
“Yeah. Nervous too. I still don’t know who the leading girl is.”
“…It will be fine. Just don’t think about it or else you might not focus on the dance.”
“Yeah I’ll try.”
Ki Shou stared at his son for a while and noticed the boy looking a bit down. He bit his lower lip and took in a deep breath.
“Have you seen Kai around?” He kept his voice low as he watched his son for any sudden emotion changes.
“No…I haven’t”
“I see. I wanted to see how he was doing in Europe…and just talk to him.”
“…”
“I bet he is upset at the moment too. I would like to have a talk with him just to see if his health is alright and all.”
“I need to get going, need to finish up some assignments. See you Friday dad.” He made his way toward his father and hugged him.
“Be careful on your way back”
“Yeah. Later.”
With that he left the older man alone in his room. Ki Shou stared at the entrance and then glanced down at the phone.
“So your old man is being released to attend your production?” Takao looked up from his book toward Rei who was in the kitchen making snacks.
“Actually they are releasing him completely. After production they are going back home. There my dad is going to be seeing someone who will help him in his rehab. He is doing real well so before you know it he will be back to normal…well almost. His right leg will never work again.” He sighed as he poured the soft drinks in glass cups.
“He will recover perfectly. Just have faith.” Mihaeru looked over at the raven hair with a smile.
Rei did not respond he kept his concentration on the snacks. After a few minutes he came over to the small living room and placed the tray of snacks on the coffee table.
“You guys with show up for this show right?”
“You bet buddy!” He gave the raven hair a big grin. “We will be there, in fact we will be there an hour early! And we will be rooting for you, hell we will bring a banner and cheer when you are performing.”
“Heh thanks but please don’t do the banner stuff. We will need it quiet you know.”
“I know, only joking with you bud.” He grabbed the small piece of sandwich and stuffed it in his mouth.
“Any other dances after this one?”
“No, this is the last one after all this semester is almost over.”
“Yeah…how fast time passes by.” The bluenette grabbed his glass and began to drink from it.
“Don’t worry Ty we will all be back soon. Right Rei?”
“….” He picked up his pen and began to write in his notebook.
“Rei?” The light blond looked over at the raven hair with curiosity.
“Sorry to say this guys, but I’m not coming back.”
“What!?” they both said and looked over at him in shock.
“I’m going to go home and help out with my family’s company.”
“But what about your dream!?”
“Sorry Ty, but my mom will need all the help she can get. Also I will be able to perform now and teach dancing to all the kids who come in.”
“But that isn’t what you want. You are only going to run the business. Don’t you want to travel around the world? Don’t you want to become famous? You are just going to me an instructor.” Mihaeru stared at him with a sad look.
“There’s nothing I can do. I thought it through and I made up my mind. After this semester I am going home with my parents.” He smiled sadly as he scribbled inside his notebook.
His two friends only looked at each other with sad expressions.
~Thursday~
“Morning class!”
“Morning Brooklyn!”
The orange hair smiled at his class as he sat at the edge of the stage.
“Tomorrow is the big day, so today we will do a few practice bits and of course make sure all of the outfits are perfect fits and all. We will be meeting at St. Alex house before opening. It shall begin at 8pm so you must be there two hours before for preparations. Any questions you may come and ask me after class or even in my office until 10pm tonight. Now let’s get ready and do some stretching then we will begin.” With that he clapped his hands and everyone began to move, preparing themselves.
“Rei?” Raul looked at the sleeping raven hair. He shook him by the shoulder lightly. “Hey Rei?”
“Uh sorry!’ He quickly sat up straight and stared at the Spanish boy with a shock expression.
“Relax it’s just me.”
“Oh hey Raul.” He covered his mouth as he let out a yawn.
“You feeling okay?”
“Yeah. Why you asking?”
“Well you were sleeping just now, and you are looking thinner…I’m sorry if I sound nosy but.”
“I’m fine. Just stayed up late last night finishing up some papers for English. Um what did Brooklyn say?”
“Everyone is stretching right now for practice and tomorrow we meet at St. Alex two hours before opening, opening is at 8pm.” He sat down next to Rei who was now trying to wake himself up all the way.
“Okay, I better start to.”
“Why not ask Brooklyn to let you go home today? You look too tired.”
“Its fine, dancing will wake me up.” He smiled at the Spanish boy who only looked down. “What’s wrong?”
Before Raul was able to reply the door of the class opened and everyone glanced to see who entered. Rei’s eyes widen as he saw Kai standing there. He was wearing a red turtleneck, that fit him like a second skin a pair of well-fitted black jeans and he had on a long black overcoat. He had on a pair of shades so the raven hair was not able to see the crimson eyes looking around the class. The dual hair saw Rei, but quickly looked away he walked down the aisle toward Brooklyn.
Rei continued staring at the dual hair as he walked passed him as if he was not even there. The raven hair felt his chest tighten, a pain that felt as if it might kill him. His eyes began to water as he watched the back of Kai.
‘Kai…you can’t see me can you? That is how much I disgust you? I hate you…you used me and yet you make me feel like the criminal…why?’
“Rei?” Raul placed his hand over the raven hair’s shoulder as he saw the now hurt expression he was showing.
The tears he held them, he clutched his chest as he watched Kai talk to Brooklyn and they both made their way toward his office. He bit down on his lower lip as he watched the door closing behind them, but not until he got a glimpse of Kai staring back at him, then the door was shut.
Anger filled him and so did pain. He needed air. He quickly stood from his seat and made his way out. He ignored Raul’s call and continued leaving the building. The tears finally escaped, he began to run as he felt his heart shatter from the image of Kai.
‘What is he doing here? Why did he show up to class? Why? Why are you doing this to me!?’ He screamed in his mind as he ran far from the building. He suddenly slammed hard into someone. He lifted his head up and saw Tala staring back at him with annoyance.
“What the hell!? You idiot why don’t you watch where you are going?” He looked at the broken looking raven hair with anger, but soon his expression changed as he saw Rei with the tears streaming down. “Rei…are you—“
“You happy!? You fucking enjoy seeing me this way!?”
“…What are you talking about?”
“I only care for myself! Ain’t that right!? That’s why I am crying! That’s why I cry myself to sleep every night! You had no right…Kai hurt me…he hurt me so badly just now…just now he walked in as if I wasn’t there…as if I never even existed! You have no idea how much I am going through right now. But no! You just care for that bastard! You go on his side! You can’t listen to my story! I hate you! I hate this fucking college! I hate this fucking place! I hate everyone! I hate Boris! Salima! Kai! But especially myself! Because I fell in love with a guy! A guy who I hated and never wanted to be friends with, but instead I became his lover! I loved him! I still love him! And you or anybody else will never know how much I love him and how much my heart is breaking! You fucking bastard!” He fell to his knees as he cried harder.
The red head watched him cry, ignoring the now onlookers.
‘The idiot…the idiot loves him. He isn’t lying. No one not even an actor…can act that way. Kai…what now?’
“This is a surprise. How is it going in Europe Kai?” The orange hair folded his hands and placed them on top of the desk as he looked over at the dual hair who sat in front of him.
“Whatever.” He removed his sunglasses and placed them up on his head. “Tomorrow is the big day?”
“That’s right. Are you going to attend?”
“I don’t think so. I only wanted t see how Mr. And Mrs. Kon were doing. I also had business to take care of.”
“I see. You haven’t visited Ki Shou in the hospital?”
“No, I wanted to see them during the performance.”
“Well why not just visit him today?”
“….” He looked away and crossed his arms over his chest.
“I see. Why the sudden visit though? Why not wait after class?”
“Just wanted to see practice.”
“Feeling nostalgic? I mean after leaving and now you are back. I bet you feel homesick when it comes to dancing here am I right?”
The dual hair closes his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest.
Brooklyn only smiled.
“You wanted to see Rei am I right?”
Kai snapped his eyes open and just stared at the orange hair in shock. He only watched the small grin playing on Brooklyn’s face, but soon he regain his composure and stared at him with a serious look.
“Why did you say that?”
“Cause you aren’t the type to just visit someone cause you wanted to talk, especially to me. Kai you are here cause you wanted to see him right? Well why not talk to him? I am sure he will be happy seeing you.”
The dual hair looked away.
“I see, that’s why he hasn’t been looking too healthy lately. Kai did you two get in a fight? Did you break up?”
“My personal life is none of your damn business. I need to get going.” He stood from his seat and made his way out of the room, leaving a now surprised Brooklyn behind.
‘I guess it is serious. Life keeps getting harder and harder.’ He sighed and stood from his seat to go back to his class.
Tala watched Rei as the raven hair was finally gaining his control back. They were seated on one of the benches nearby the dance building. Rei kept his head rest on his hand as he just stared down at the floor. He stopped crying but continued sniffling.
The red head began to scratch the side of his neck as they sat in silence.
‘What should I say to him? Shit Raul was right…but still.’ He once more looked down at Rei. ‘He is going through a lot, just like Kai went through with Wyatt.’
“Sorry.”
Tala looked over at him as soon as he heard his voice.
“For what?”
“Making a scene. I…I just felt like I was going to lose it, I didn’t know how to react. He just walked in there as if nothing happened. Like, like if I was a toy for him and it did not bother him one bit.”
‘I can’t believe Kai left without even telling me. Bastard had me worried. Why the hell he even came here?’ He looked at Rei as the raven hair clutched unto his jeans. ‘For him, that’s why he came. He wanted to see Rei. He still loves him. They both love each other, yet…they are stubborn and only are hurting each other. Damn pride.’
“I am the one who should be sorry.”
The raven hair glanced over at the red head with surprise.
“Because I did not hear you out. Because I did not give you a chance to explain your story, and for hitting you and just telling you to get the hell away.”
“….”
“It’s just, Rei you don’t know what he went through. And I just can’t see him go through it again.”
“…Wyatt?” He looked over at the red head who only nodded.
“I can’t let it happen again. When Wyatt died, it was as a piece of Kai died along with him. He got laser surgery. A way to remove all the scars.”
“Scars?”
“Kai cut his arms…he always ended up cutting himself after Wyatt’s death. He needed to wear long sleeves, anything to cover up the scars. When he finally started recovering he decided to get surgery to remove his scars, his reminders. He wanted to forget.”
“…He was a cutter?”
“To ease the pain he felt inside, he needed to forget by inflicting physical pain instead. It hurt me deeply, I felt as if I couldn’t help him in any way. So when he told me what happened between you and your ex. You should have seen him, right now he is suffering but he won’t show it. He doesn’t want anyone to give him pity. He will move on. He did before, and he will again. Maybe you should too.”
Silence.
“Raul is upset you are suffering, so forget about Kai. Don’t hurt yourself more. Rei move on, you will find someone else, someone better. Kai will move on, he will forget about you like he did with Wyatt.”
Rei lowered his head and clutched harder unto his jeans.
“Rei, please. To stop hurting each other.”
“I’m sorry. I can’t.” He lifted his head up and stared at Tala with a sad smile. “I love his too much to just forget. He can forget me and move on, but I will continue loving him until I die.”
The red head watched Rei in surprised. His eyes widen more when he realized a certain dual hair standing behind him.
“Kai…?”
Rei looked behind and saw Kai looking down on him, his eyes hidden behind his shades.
They both stared at each other. No words exchanged.
TBC.
