Tears formed up in beautiful pair of blue eyes when they reflected a picture of the person in front of him lying, still on the hospital white bed. The blond-haired man gently took one hand of the sleeping body into his, stroking the unconscious man’s forehead and whispered in sad voice.

“I hope this wouldn’t happen… I can’t be happy when I know that you …. never…be able to look at me again”

With trembling voice, Yoshiki sobbed quietly while he was talking to the person who he loved … and had trusted.

Soon afterward, he heard someone entered the patient room. He turned and found the figure of a tall pink-haired man standing in front of him. The expression from the man’s face made Yoshiki felt even sadder. It was the thing he had already expected. The feeling of being betrayed, hurt and despair.

“Why? Why? Do you come here when everything is too late”

The newcomer’s voice rose up painfully.

Sugizo‘s voice was cracking, his hand was trembling.

Yoshiki got up from the chair near Toshi’s bed and walked toward Sugizo trying to touch him but the tall man step backward.

Knowing he was refused, Yoshiki drew his hand back. Sadness crept into his heart. Slowly, he began to speak.

“I know you wouldn’t believe me for what I’m going to say and I know that just the word “sorry” isn’t enough for what had happened…. But.. I have to tell you… this is the reason I come here”

Yoshiki looked straight into the tall man’s eyes while he was talking calmly.

“I have never wanted to hurt Toshi”

“Don’t try to act like such a sacrificer. You are saying you don’t hate my father even if he had done those things to you. Come on, I’m not a school student”

Sugizo sneered. An uneasy atmosphere filled up the room, Yoshiki went silent but the pink-haired man continued.

“And you, though it was not you who did this directly to my father but do you dare to say you are not the source of everything? C’mon you can’t fool me!”

“I…”

The blond hair tried to reply but the word couldn’t come out from his soft lips. Everything Sugizo was saying was true.

Sugizo scornfully smiled to Yoshiki, or to himself

“Yes…it is now useless. I don’t want any excuse from you. If not because of you, my family wouldn’t meet this disaster. You and your damn son took everything from me… even

…. RYU”

The last word faded out as Sugizo lowered his voice and looked away. Yoshiki felt that a hot liquid thing was running down the pink-haired face. He felt it was his fault. Why everything turned to be like this… the effect of their triangle relationship ruined even the innocent ones…, their children.

Sugizo pointed to the door.

“Go away, leave this place now ! I don’t want you to disturb my father anymore”

Sugizo shouted and looked viciously at the long-haired man.

“I am really sorry….”

Yoshiki paused for a moment and continued

“but I come here because this will be the last time I can talk to Toshi”

Sugizo’s eyes were wider when he heard the following sentence.

“Hide and I are going to leave this country…may be… we will not come back for the rest of our lives”

The pink-haired man felt his heart skipped a beat. He almost lost his control to grab Yoshiki’s white neck.

“You mean you are leaving..?”

Sugi asked but not seemed like a question. He paused as if he sank into his thought. Then, he continued.

“So..what about Ryuichi? You will take him also, right ? You are going to bring him away from me forever!!!!!”

“Calm down. Don’t be pissed off. Only two of us will go. Ryuichi will stay here”

Obviously, there was a sign of relief on that gloomy face. Yes.. Hakuei’s condition was not proper for long distance travel, Yoshiki thought. And Ryuichi said he would not leave now as their business still needed some management. The young black hair said he wanted to wait until .. until everything was possible… he would make a decision again.

***************************

Every one was going to leave the company when the long hand of the clock pointed at 5 . Still , there was a noise coming from the executive room on the 15 fl. Sheet of papers were scattering on the floor by the slim figure who was digging in the drawer as if trying to find something. After searching for a while, Ryuichi gasped when he found a folder lying in front of him. Finally, he found that only the red folder was left, this would be the file he wanted. He took a long breath before slowly opened the cover of the problem folder.

*******************************

“Today Yoshiki-san is going to leave ne”

The black-haired man said while pulling the curtain open showing the view of the garden below. He saw two persons walking in the beautiful garden. One was his father and another was the man with wavy blond hair.

He knew that Hide was very happy talking with Yoshiki even though he couldn’t hear what they were talking. The red-haired father was very gentle when he was with Yoshiki.

“But Ryu-chan, are you sure you won’t feel lonely when you father leave?”

Hearing Hakuei’s concerned question, the slim man turned around to the tall figure sitting on the chair and replied softly to his fiance.

“I won’t..”

His face was sad but he knew that the man in front of him couldn’t notice this.

Yes… it doesn’t matter who will stay beside him or near him. Even his father leaving couldn’t make him feel sad. He had lost the person whom he thought was half of his soul. Ryuichi looked to the direction that would lead to Sugizo’s place. He again buried himself in his thought letting the bitter tears silently ran down on his cheeks.

“Sugi-chan… what are you doing now ..?”

He thought as his vision was getting blur with tears.

***************************

10:30 a.m.

It was a golden week .

The airport was very crowded and the traffic was terribly heavy. Luckily, Yoshiki had decided to call his helicopters to pick them up. Hide busily assigned Hakuei to be his representative and responsible for everything concerned with his business. Besides being Ryuichi’s fiance, Hakuei was also the one the red hair could rely on. First, Hakuei refused because he thought he couldn’t work with his current condition. But finally, when Ryuichi said he would help Hakuei and supported him, the blond hair accepted Hide’s offer.

After saying farewell to Yoshiki and his father, Ryuichi left Hakuei alone so the blond hair could have private time talking with his father, Yoshiki. Ryuichi was exhausted as the place was so crowded. He wanted to go for opened-air. Hide was saying good bye to all his followers and Emiru was crying until his eyes turned terribly red. He wanted to follow Hide but the red hair wanted Die and him to help Hakuei with his growing business.

“Hide-sama, don’t forget me. When thing here is settling down, I will follow you..”

Emiru said with his watering eyes.

“Don’t worry Hide-sama. I will take care of Hakuei-san and Ryu-bou”

Die gave his master a promise.

Watching them from a far corner, Ryuichi let out a long sigh. For him, He felt nothing different for his father leaving cos he was so familiar with his departure. From time to time, his father had to go for business conference for a year.

In truth, he was worrying about something else. He was still unsure…or in other word … he didn’t want to be certain. He hoped that it was just some mistakes.

Suddenly, Ryuichi’s heart jumped as he felt someone promptly caught his arm. Immediately, before he could do anything, he was dragged out, away from his group by force. Then, he felt his back ached when that person pressed him against the wall.

“Wha….!!!!!”

His voice was firmly cut off by a strong hand closing on his mouth. Ryuichi’s eye was widen when he saw the face in front of him.

“Ryu-chan. Now I got you !”

Ryuichi tightly shut his eyes when he felt Sugi’s warm breathing on his neck. Ryuichi tried to push Sugi’s heavy body back but failed.

The pink hair, himself getting more and more irritated knowing that the slim man refused him. Replacing his hand, he pressed his warm lips on Ryu’s and pinned the black-haired man’s shoulder against the wall.

“nnnNnnn”

Ryuichi struggled but the tall man didn’t let him go. At the moment the pink hair loosen his embrace, Ryuichi all at once slapped his beautiful face. Sugizo stunned by Ryuichi’s reaction and then, grew furious for what he was treated. Without thinking, he strongly squeezed the slim wrists.

“itai ”

Just when Ryuichi cried out in pain, Sugi regained his consciousness.

“Ryu… I’m sorry … I didn’t mean to hurt you”

No word escaped from Ryuichi’s red lips, he kept staring on the floor didn’t want to look up and faced his lover. His hands covered his eyes.

“….”

Sugi, seeing no response from Ryuichi, began to get annoying again.

“Ryu-chan!”

Finally, Ryuichi lifted his face up and looked at Sugizo. His eyes were now at the edge of tears. He spoke with unsteady voice, so hurt.

“Ex…explain to me.. why did you do it?”

“Ryu-chan, you know I always lose control. You know so well how hot-tempered I am! Don’t be so mad”

The black-haired man turned his face away when the tall man tried to wipe his tears off. Ryuichi continued in cracked voice.

“NO…. I didn’t get angry that you hurt me…. I’m talking about *another* thing you’ve been doing to our company”

The slim man could feel Sugi lost his breath for a little and that was enough to hurt his feeling. It meant what he was suspecting was true. He felt like something stuck in his throat.

The pink-haired man had never expected that Ryu would know what was he doing so early like this, couldn’t find a proper way to explain.

“So you are the one who messed up my documents, you don’t trust me”

Sugi said slowly in low voice.

“I used to trust you *Sugizo-san* but the business you are taking yourself in destroyed my good view of you! Why did you cooperate with that jerk when you know exactly how he wants to take over our company? You are borrowing his hands to revenge us ?”

Hearing Ryu’s word, Sugi’s eyes flamed with anger. He suddenly grabbed Ryu’s shoulders and shook.

“US? What do you mean by us? You think I try revenge on you ?”

Frightened by Sugi sudden burst out, Ryuichi felt he could hardly breath and felt dizzy.

“I hate your family!!! That is true. I want to give them back a lesson for what they had done to my family but why ! Ryu ! Why do you think I ‘m trying to hurt you?”

Sugizo’s voice was shaking. Ryu regretted for his words when he saw drop of tears running down from Sugi’s beautiful eyes. He was now crying.

Ryuichi felt the left side of his chest heavy. What should he do? Now he couldn’t trust even the person he… love most.

“Ryu-chan?”

Sugi called him but the voice was so far away. Everything in front of him became blur and Ryuichi felt he could hardly gasp for the air.

“RYU!!”

Sugi tried to call Ryu when he noticed that the slim man’s face was seriously pale and he was panting. His skin was very cold.
