"You scared me" Jyunichi said with a shaky laugh, still looking at Masuda with wide eyes. When he recovered from shock, he directly smiles at Masuda "I'm Jyunichi. Sakura Jyunichi. You are?"
Masuda stares, tried to open his mouth to utter some words but failed to do so. Jyunichi laughed softly at the weird reaction and pointed at the vacant seat next to Masuda, "May I?" he asked, Masuda didn't answer though, he just stares at him, not even blinking his eyes but he shifted and let Jyunichi sat beside him. "You're weird." Jyunichi said to Masuda and to the two people in front of him who were also looking at him with wide eyes. "I'm Jyunichi. You are?" he said again, inviting them to at least introduce themselves.
It was Kato who answered back, standing up from his feet and hitting the roof of the van but ignores the pain. "Shige.." he didn't notice he said the nickname that Tegoshi made for him, when he noticed he hurriedly said his full name "I mean Kato Shigeaki" and offered his hand which Jyunichi accepts with a smile.
"And you?" Jyunichi asked, averting his gaze to Koyama, still with a smile on his face
"Koya-koya.. Koyamama.." Jyunichi laughed as Koyama cursed when he can't say his name correctly. Kato hit his shoulder then and he cleared his throat then tried again. "Koyama Keiichiro. Pleased to meet you." Just like Kato, he offered his hand at Jyunichi and the younger smiles as he shook his hand. After the handshake, he looked to his side and with a small smile on his lips, he asked "won't you tell me your name?"
"Ma...suda Masuda Takahisa.." Masuda said slowly, and offered his hand without taking his eyes off from the man in front of him. Jyunichi smiled at him and shakes his hand. "Pleased to meet you" he said and was returned by Jyunichi.
"Masuda-kun, Koyama-kun, Kato-kun, pleased to meet you and I hope you'll have a good time here in Osaka." Jyunichi said with a smile and then he looked at the passenger seat "Yo! Takahiro!" he said waving his hand at Kusano's friend.
"You know me?" Takahiro said slowly, clearly amused which made Kusano laughs.
"Yes, I know you. We've seen each other before.. outside a cafe? i'm in the car."
"Oh! I remember you! Nice to meet you, Jyunichi!" Takahiro cheerfully said, now completely facing the others.
Jyunichi laughs at Takahiro's cheerfulness and the three from Tokyo was surprised again. They shared a look. What's happening here. Jyunichi went back to his seat before to get his ipod and earphones, when he went back to sit beside Masuda, Kato asked something. "So.. Uhm.. where do you come from?"
"Where do you think?" came Jyunichi's reply, with a soft laugh. Kato should be angry at that kind of answer but that just made him more dumbfounded. "What?" Jyunichi asked him, his laugh subsided
"N-nothing.."
Jyunichi nod and then wears his earphone, telling an impression that he doesn't want to talk anymore. With that, they all went silent. As Jyunichi closed his eyes and leaned back on his seat, Masuda so obviously stares at Jyunichi. He stares and lifts his hand, just when his hand almost touched Jyunichi's face, he was stopped by a hand. Masuda was pulled back on his senses when Kato gave him a sterned look. Koyama on the other hand was watching Kusano and Takahiro in the front, and when one of the guys looked at them through the mirror, Koyama directly stands and bend forward as he starts talking, covering the scene behind him.
"Shi.."
"No, Massu."
"But he is-"
"No"

Just before parking the car, Kusano instructed (politely) Masuda to wake Jyunichi up. Masuda's heart flutters as the butler said that. It flutters painfully as he averted his gaze to the person beside him that reminds him so much of what he lost. Masuda restrained himself on doing something other than waking up this guy called Jyunichi. He felt a very stingy pain that is piercing his heart as the young man stirs on his seat. Masuda softly tap Jyunichi on the shoulder, leaning forward, calling his name softly. Then, Jyunichi's eyes blinked, he stares and Masuda too, stares, not really minding how close their faces are. Jyunichi blinked again and Masuda finds himself missing Tegoshi more, emotions rising up, he cleared his throat and looked down, shielding his eyes that are now starting to well up with his bangs.
"We're already here" he whispered, not really trusting his voice would not crack. At the corner of his eyes, he saw Jyunichi looking at him, he could clearly read the emotions running through the young man's face. If he would use Tegoshi's, the look that Jyunichi is giving him right now, is confused blended with concern. And he really thought the young man would ask him something regarding his behavior but when Jyunichi just turns to open the door of the van, he felt relieved yet disappointed.
"Masuda..." Kato called, snapping him back to where he is. He glanced at Kato just to see his friend looking at him concernedly and he knows, Kato has seen their (his and Jyunichi's) exchange earlier.
"Don't start now, Shige." Masuda sternly said, eyes going back to Jyunichi who is stretching his hands up above his head. It is something that Tegoshi always do after stepping out from a car ride and that always makes Masuda smiles especially when he turned back at him and called him Massu~ happily. Jyunichi turned his back then, and he freezes. Jyunichi's hair is disheveled when the wind hit him on the face. When Jyunichi called Kusano, Masuda whispered Yuya. It hurts. He wants to scream at Jyunichi and tell him not to do the things that his Tegoshi do or tell him to change his face because the face he is wearing now is so much like his Tegoshi's face. But really, he just want to hug the guy tight and tells him the things that he wants to tell Tegoshi. I miss you so much. I love you with all my heart and soul. Will you come back, please? I don't know what to do anymore. I can't.. It hurts so much thinking... Yuya... you said you'll come back..
"Masuda-kun?"
Masuda blinked his eyes fast, Jyunichi's hand stopped mid-air, it seemed he was waving his hand in front of him for a while now and everyone.. was staring at him. "..sorry. I was just"
"you went travelling without us.." Jyunichi said with a playful smile that made Masuda's heart aches painfully. "but it's okay. Let's go inside so that we can go home fast. I know you guys are tired. Sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't told Kusano to ask you guys out." Somehow, Masuda was relieved when he heard that. Even if his Tegoshi and this Jyunichi is so much alike, they are still not the same person.. "Koyama-kun" Jyunichi gasped, eyes widening as he looked at Koyama "why are you.." Masuda's moment was broken when he too looked at Koyama.
"Dust.. it's just dust. Don't worry" Koyama added, rubbing his wet eyes and ruffled Jyunichi's hair as he passed by the younger. Jyunichi scrunched up his nose at the gesture. It made his heart and insides warm. There is something within the newcomers that is making him comfortable and he felt relieved and happy. Maybe, this is what having friends feels like. With a grin on his face, he looked around to find Kusano and saw the butler smiling at him.
---
"Done. I think that's all we need to buy.."
"Are you sure, Jyunichi?" Kusano asked, uncertainly "... you know we can still come back here if ever we ran out of supplies... a month worth of supplies..."
"Eh? I picked too much?" Jyunichi asked, gazing at the six baskets full of different kinds of food--vegetables, meat, sweets, and drinks.
"Oh, you are done already, Jyunichi?" Takahiro's voice reached his ear and he turned around to grin at his new friends. As they entered the supermarket, they were dragged by Takahiro who says there are too many food stalls inside and they should try all the samples. It's not always that he can visit the supermarket and he really really likes to show the goodness of their foods to the tourists (is what he says and was laughed at by Koyama). "Here, I don't really know if you like them but I can't choose among those food. So in the end, I bought them all." He added, grinning sheepishly while scratching his head.
"Taka, thank you." Jyunichi happily said, smiling sweetly at him as he took the cellophanes from his hands.
If Jyunichi took a glance at the three guys from Tokyo, he might see how Masuda flinched when he said Taka and how Koyashige glanced nervously at Masuda as he smiled sweetly at him and how Masuda painfully turned his back when he hugged Takahiro and whispered something to his ear which made Taka blush (and Taka nudged Kusano because he is laughing on the side with his reaction to the don't worry, i'll take care of Kusano for you of Jyunichi). He is not his Tegoshi. Masuda chanted yet find himself clenching his fist.
---
He is not Tegoshi. How many times do they have to repeat that in their head before it would sink? Kato chanted again as he spaced back and forth on the room that he claimed as his. Koyama seems to be out of his mind as he stares longingly at the wall of Kato's room. And Masuda too, as he stares at the ceiling. Kato seems to be the only one who is thinking, searching for reasons, believable reasons. He looks like Tegoshi, 98%, no, scratch that. 90%. He has black hair, Tegoshi has blonde. He doesn't have a mole on his face, Tegoshi has. What else is different? He seems to be considerate toward his guests but that is understood since he just met them. He seems to be not an outgoing person, Tegoshi is not. That guy would talk back to strangers and won't ignore them till the strangers would just go because Tegoshi talks a lot (about his favorite soccer and his dog) but this Tegoshi look-alike would dodge strangers and this Tegoshi look-alike relies so much on his butler, he is restless when the butler is not around.. okay 85%. he looks like Tegoshi, 85%.. And he is not into soccer or any sports. He is into painting and photography. He is good... really good compared to Tegoshi's work. And he is an excellent photographer. What? Why did I say that? I'm a photographer myself, Koyama! With that.. the percentage decreases with 35%. Do not ask me why 35%, isn't it obvious? No way Tegoshi can draw realistically! Jyunichi draw a forest, the trees and flowers and some animals were drawn realistically! Opposite to Tegoshi's forest which looks like upside down lightning and a squirrel and rabbit, he says, but the squirrel looks like a part of the tree it was put on and the rabbit is lacking its face and ears!
"I still can't believe though that there is someone who looks like him here.."
"It was said that a person has 7 look-alike all around the world." Kato reacted
"I still can't believe.. that there is someone who looks like him here" Koyama once again said, now glaring at Kato as he said the last part with force.
Kato was about to answer Koyama when someone knocked on the door, so instead of answering Koyama's glare, he sighed and walked to the door. "Jyunichi" Kato said, a bit surprised to see the man this close. Jyunichi smiles at him and asked him to get his friends because it's time for a late lunch. Kato nodded and Jyunichi turned around with a smile but before he can walk away and before Kato's mind registered what he was doing, he grabbed Jyunichi's arm. "Ah. Sorry.. We'll be there in a minute." He said instead, hastily dropping Jyunichi's arm. The man in front of him narrowed his brows then let out a chuckle, confused. "We'll be there. A minute or two, I still have to arrange my things that those two inside messed up." Kato added, not feeling any guilt for throwing his friends' names on their conversation. At least, it made Tegoshi, I mean Jyunichi laugh.
"Okay, we'll wait downstairs" Jyunichi said, starting to walk away.
Kato stares at Jyunichi's retreating back, he ponders for a while before he closed the door and faced his friends. "So?" Koyama asked him, he was still glaring at him but Kato doesn't care. He slowly walked toward the bed and stopped in front of Masuda. He stares at his friend who is still staring at the ceiling, lifeless. "I guess I need to change the percentage from 50% to 70%. No matter how much I deny it, they really have the same voice quality. So stop glaring now and start piling my clothes back from where it was piled neatly before." Kato added, now glaring at Koyama who whimpered at Kato's loud and sharp voice.
---
"Oh, have a seat. Eh? One is missing.." Jyunichi asked as he looked behind Kato and Koyama.
"He said he is tired and not feeling well.. so he went back to his room to sleep" Kato answered since Koyama was already hopping towards a chair, literally hopping happily when he saw the foods on the table.
"That's okay. I can cook him food later if he wants to.."
"You can cook?" Koyama asked, surprised evident on his face as he stares at the food then at Jyunichi
"He can. Both he and Haruka are great cooks. He cooked all of these." Kusano answered, loving how colored Jyunichi's face is.
"You are exaggerating! The two of you helped me so the three of us cooked all of these." Jyunichi said, face flushing red.
"Wow.. Do you accept students? I would like to learn!" Koyama chirped "I love foods!" he added which made the others, including himself, laugh.
Instead of sleeping, just like what he told his friends when he went back to his room, he is lying on his bed wide awake. He is tired, very tired. What just happened? Yesterday he was on his apartment, lying on his bed while his mind was flying toward Tegoshi, as always. And now, he is in a guest room of the house which the Tegoshi look-alike owned and still, his mind flew toward Tegoshi. "Jyunichi.." Masuda said, slowly, eyes starting to well up as he talked again "..Yuya.. Yuya, I need you. I need you so much, Yuya. Where are you? Please.. Yuya.. I do not.. I do not want to live without you.. Yuya" he cried, clutching his phone hard on his chest, their last conversation still stinging on his heart. "..you said you'll come back.. you said, you bought me souvenirs.. I didn't.. I didn't ask for your jacket as a souvenir.. Yuya.. baby, please.. I want you alive. I want you right here.. I need you so much." he added, turning around and burying his face on the bedsheets. With muffled cries, he fell asleep.
---
Before Jyunichi snatched Koyama away from Kato, the younger had told him about Masuda's condition. "He .. I think we should go back now.. This vacation and this twist on our plan is ruining Masuda."
"But Shige.. don't you think, having someone who just looks like Tegoshi can.. at least heal him even just a little? Because his presence surely heal me"
"Kei--"
"Koyama-kun? Let's go to the kitchen now.."
"Coming!" he shouted, grinning happily before he looked at Kato again, "and I know it is the same on you" With that, Koyama jogged toward Jyunichi.
Koyama is right. He has to admit, the older is right. Jyunichi's presence filled the hole Tegoshi left in their hearts. Though he felt guilty for replacing Tegoshi's place in his heart, but not really that guilty, because whenever he look at Jyunichi, he can see Tegoshi in him. And it just feels so right yet so wrong because one, he is not Tegoshi Yuya, he is Sakura Jyunichi-- a person whose hobby and attitude(though he still talks bluntly) is so much the opposite of the Tegoshi that they know, and two because that morning they flew to Osaka then they met a guy who acts(or not)like Tegoshi and then Koyama is talking to him as if they had known each other for a long time. It's really wrong, isn't it? He can't really understand what's happening around him. It is not understandable at all. Is this Jyunichi guy Tegoshi's twin that was hidden by Tegoshi to them? They've been together for a very long time and Tegoshi only hid it from them? Because of what? Because this guy is a Sakura while Tegoshi is a Tegoshi? I don't even make sense at all. You better not think too much Shigeaki, he groaned. Kato dropped his head and with a sigh, he turned around only to face Jyunichi's butler.
"Hello, Kato-kun.. you seemed to be very confused and troubled."
"Hello, Kusano-kun. Not really.."
"I've been observing the three of you since your weird reactions toward Jyunichi this morning." Kusano said, looking at Kato in the eyes. Kato made a move to open his mouth but cut short when Kusano started talking again ".. don't worry. I know you guys means no harm. I won't kick you guys out because I don't have the right.. but as a friend of Jyunichi, I would like to ask.. What are your reasons.. what are the reasons behind those actions, Kato-kun? I am asking you seriously so please, I hope you'll answer me seriously too." Kusano added, his tone was dangerously low. He is really serious.
Kato gulped before he cleared his throat. "As what we had told you earlier.. we came here because it's our friend's death anniversary.. Well, we were really very shocked when we saw him for the first time, at the van.."
"Why? Why are you all shock?"
"Because.. as far as we remember our friend's pretty face, and we still remember it pretty clearly.. he just.. well, Jyunichi.. really looks like him... I mean, I admit there are many differences.. but there are also many similarities."
"...what? you mean.. Jyunichi looked like your friend.."
"Yes"

"Oh, have a seat. Eh? One is missing.." Jyunichi asked as he looked behind Kato and Koyama.
"He said he is tired and not feeling well.. so he went back to his room to sleep" Kato answered since Koyama was already hopping towards a chair, literally hopping happily when he saw the foods on the table.
"That's okay. I can cook him food later if he wants to.."
"You can cook?" Koyama asked, surprised evident on his face as he stares at the food then at Jyunichi
"He can. Both he and Haruka are great cooks. He cooked all of these." Kusano answered, loving how colored Jyunichi's face is.
"You are exaggerating! The two of you helped me so the three of us cooked all of these." Jyunichi said, face flushing red.
"Wow.. Do you accept students? I would like to learn!" Koyama chirped "I love foods!" he added which made the others, including himself, laugh.
Instead of sleeping, just like what he told his friends when he went back to his room, he is lying on his bed wide awake. He is tired, very tired. What just happened? Yesterday he was on his apartment, lying on his bed while his mind was flying toward Tegoshi, as always. And now, he is in a guest room of the house which the Tegoshi look-alike owned and still, his mind flew toward Tegoshi. "Jyunichi.." Masuda said, slowly, eyes starting to well up as he talked again "..Yuya.. Yuya, I need you. I need you so much, Yuya. Where are you? Please.. Yuya.. I do not.. I do not want to live without you.. Yuya" he cried, clutching his phone hard on his chest, their last conversation still stinging on his heart. "..you said you'll come back.. you said, you bought me souvenirs.. I didn't.. I didn't ask for your jacket as a souvenir.. Yuya.. baby, please.. I want you alive. I want you right here.. I need you so much." he added, turning around and burying his face on the bedsheets. With muffled cries, he fell asleep.

Before Jyunichi snatched Koyama away from Kato, the younger had told him about Masuda's condition. "He .. I think we should go back now.. This vacation and this twist on our plan is ruining Masuda."
"But Shige.. don't you think, having someone who just looks like Tegoshi can.. at least heal him even just a little? Because his presence surely heal me"
"Kei--"
"Koyama-kun? Let's go to the kitchen now.."
"Coming!" he shouted, grinning happily before he looked at Kato again, "and I know it is the same on you" With that, Koyama jogged toward Jyunichi.
Koyama is right. He has to admit, the older is right. Jyunichi's presence filled the hole Tegoshi left in their hearts. Though he felt guilty for replacing Tegoshi's place in his heart, but not really that guilty, because whenever he look at Jyunichi, he can see Tegoshi in him. And it just feels so right yet so wrong because one, he is not Tegoshi Yuya, he is Sakura Jyunichi-- a person whose hobby and attitude(though he still talks bluntly) is so much the opposite of the Tegoshi that they know, and two because that morning they flew to Osaka then they met a guy who acts(or not)like Tegoshi and then Koyama is talking to him as if they had known each other for a long time. It's really wrong, isn't it? He can't really understand what's happening around him. It is not understandable at all. Is this Jyunichi guy Tegoshi's twin that was hidden by Tegoshi to them? They've been together for a very long time and Tegoshi only hid it from them? Because of what? Because this guy is a Sakura while Tegoshi is a Tegoshi? I don't even make sense at all. You better not think too much Shigeaki, he groaned. Kato dropped his head and with a sigh, he turned around only to face Jyunichi's butler.
"Hello, Kato-kun.. you seemed to be very confused and troubled."
"Hello, Kusano-kun. Not really.."
"I've been observing the three of you since your weird reactions toward Jyunichi this morning." Kusano said, looking at Kato in the eyes. Kato made a move to open his mouth but cut short when Kusano started talking again ".. don't worry. I know you guys means no harm. I won't kick you guys out because I don't have the right.. but as a friend of Jyunichi, I would like to ask.. What are your reasons.. what are the reasons behind those actions, Kato-kun? I am asking you seriously so please, I hope you'll answer me seriously too." Kusano added, his tone was dangerously low. He is really serious.
Kato gulped before he cleared his throat. "As what we had told you earlier.. we came here because it's our friend's death anniversary.. Well, we were really very shocked when we saw him for the first time, at the van.."
"Why? Why are you all shock?"
"Because.. as far as we remember our friend's pretty face, and we still remember it pretty clearly.. he just.. well, Jyunichi.. really looks like him... I mean, I admit there are many differences.. but there are also many similarities."
"...what? you mean.. Jyunichi looked like your friend.."
"Yes"
