[ Flower Garden ] Tomohisa Kitakado

Tsubasa: Apologies for inconveniencing you with this late meeting ... 

 

Tomo : Nothing to worry about. 

 

Ryuuji : By the way, Tsubasa, aren't you overworking lately?

 

Tomo : That's right ... is everything alright with you? As a girl, please don't overdo yourself.

 

Tsubasa: S-Sure. I am sorry for making you worry... 

 

Tomo : Good. Right, I will go and pour you some tea (left to check on the tea)

 

Tsubasa: Oh, you don't have to make tea--

 

Tomo : (from the kitchen) It's completely fine. Tsubasa can just sit back and relax on the sofa. 

 

Tsubasa: Okay ..... thank you very much. 

 

Tsubasa: (Tomo came back)  wow, this tea has a wonderful scent. 

 

Ryuuji : ... Hm? Tomo, are you using that flavor?

 

Tomo : You got it right. This tea is Ryuuji's favorite. The sweet vanilla scents is causing a relaxing effect.

 

Tsubasa : This is seriously delicious! I am feeling the effect. 

 

Tomo : ... hehe

 

Tsubasa: .....? Is something wrong ...? 

 

Tomo : Just now, Tsubasa's expression looks precious. 

 

Tsubasa : Eh? My expression ... is precious? What do you mean ...

 

Ryuuji : Heh... to be frank, I would call it a "sloppy face", kinda like that?

 

Tsubasa: Really ?!

 

Tomo : Ahaha. Don't worry, your face is adorable. Seeing that you're relaxed, so I am glad. 

 

Tsubasa: (uwaa, I have been running everywhere all day today so that is probably why I looked horrible .... But still, I am grateful for Kitakado-san's concern for me) W-Well then, better let us start with the meeting. 

 

Tomo : Oh, right. Is this about the opening ceremony in Omotesando? 

 

Tsubasa: Yes, the newly opened flower garden has requested for Kitakore to sing together on their stage. Magazines and TV  coverage will be there as well. Here are the details are written on this document, so please take a good look. Pictures are also included.

 

Ryuuji: Thank you. Impressive, this is a beautiful garden. 

 

Tomo : ...........

 

Ryuuji: Hm? This place ... could it be?

 

Tomo : You sense it too, Ryuuji? 

 

Ryuuji: Yea. It looks familiar. 

 

Tomo :  Say, this garden, was it is in Omotesando? 

 

Ryuuji : Wait, that means, could this place be ... 

 

Tomo : It's a place we know well. 

 

Tsubasa: Really? 

 

Tomo : We've been there several times before. What a coincidence.

 

Tsubasa: Is that's so.

 

 

-After the meeting, outside the apartment- 

 

 

Tsubasa: Thank you for coming down to the entrance with me. Once we know the rehearsal date, I will contact you two again.

 

Tomo : Got it. It is very late now, be careful on your way home. 

 

Tsubasa: Yes .... ah ..! 

 

Ryuuji : .....? What's wrong? 

 

Tsubasa: Uh, no. It's nothing. 

 

Ryuuji: ....... As if!? Your face is telling me otherwise.

 

Tomo : ..... could it be there are more works?

 

Tsubasa: Well--

 

Ryuuji: Just so you know, I can see right through your lies so you better cough up. You still got some work left to do, don't you? 

 

Tsubasa: uh ... yes ... I just remembered I still got to come up with materials for the costumes by tomorrow ...

 

Ryuuji: ugh ... So that means you are going back to the company? 

 

Tomo : Tsubasa, you can let it rest for now. Better not pack yourself with too much work. While I agree being passionate is a good trait, but if you pass out, it will all become meaningless. 

 

Ryuuji : Indeed. Keeping your physical health in check is also part of the job, isn't that right?  

 

Tsubasa: Yes. S-Sorry ...

 

Tomo: Hehe. To sums up what Ryuuji meant, he is saying he is very concerned for you, Tsubasa. 

 

Ryuuji: Wait, Tomo! You don't need to rephrase it! 

 

Tsubasa: Ryuuji-kun ... 

 

Tomo : And of course, I also feel the same as Ryuuji. What if Tsubasa passes out, I'll be beside myself I won't be able to concentrate at work. Therefore, please go home and rest for the day, okay? 

 

Tsubasa: Kitakado-san ... Both of you, thank you for your concern!

 

Tomo : If it's fine with you, shall I take you home? I'll go get the car. 

 

Tsubasa: Eh? N-No! You don't have to go out of your way for me.

 

Tomo : I totally don't mind at all. 

 

Tsubasa: For real, it's really is fine!

 

Tomo : Really ...? You don't have to hold back. You are free to rely on me if you need anything. 

 

Tsubasa: I appreciate it. Thank you for today!

 

Ryuuji: Take care! See you tomorrow then. 

 

Tomo : Good night, Tsubasa. 

 

 

-On the day of the ceremony, dressing room-

 

 

Tsubasa: Excuse me, I'm coming in. I received this from our sponsor. Have a taste! 

 

Yuta : Nice! Are those sweets? I can smell the sweetness waffling all the way to me. 

 

Tsubasa: Yes, they are cream puff. 

 

Yuta: Yay! There are so many kinds to choose from. Let's see what to take~

 

Hikaru: Hey, they look super tasty! Ittadakimasu ~

 

Yuta: Whaaat ~! Hikarun, it's first come, first served! 

 

Hikaru: Yea, but you already got 2 on your hands.

 

Yuta: Well, these are for KenKen and Gouchin! 

 

Ryuuji: Yuta. We all know Goushi and Kento wouldn't eat them, so you are just taking it for yourself. 

 

Hikaru: See, isn't that cheating?!

 

Yuta: Ehehe, I got exposed. Bur hey, Ryuu-chan! You should have some with us too! 

 

Ryuuji: Okay, I'll take the strawberry one~ 

 

Tsubasa: (hehe, they seem to enjoy themselves) 

 

Tomo: Tsubasa, good work. 

 

Tsubasa: Oh, good work. Do you want some, Kitakado-san?

 

Tomo: I'll take some later

 

Tsubasa: The opening will start shortly. 

 

Tomo: Yes and we are ready. Wonder if this is thanks to Tsubasa who worked every night for making the preparation goes smoothly?

 

Tsubasa: No, that can't just be it ... 

 

Tomo: By the way, do you have a moment and head out with me?

 

Tsubasa: ? 

 

Tomo: There is a place I want to show you. It's a secret from everyone.

 

Tsubasa: .... right now? 

 

Tomo: Yes. I believe we have a bit times before the ceremony starts.

 

Tsubasa: But where exactly is it ....?

 

Tomo: Hehe, are you curious? You see ...there is a secret garden nearby. (wink)

 

Ryuuji: ........  (stares from a distance)

 

 

-After the ceremony, dressing room-

 

 

Yuta: Wow That was amazing! Everyone was so excited on the stage. 

 

Ryuuji: Yeah, because the stage was surrounded by flowers, it made our performance so much more unique and refreshing than we previously had done. 

 

Tomo: I agree. Everyone looks much brighter than usual. 

 

Yuta: Also, the foods were sooooo delicious! 

 

Ryuuji: Yuta, you ate too much. Don't you worry you will become fat? 

 

Yuta: I will work hard on my workouts, so don't you worry~! Besides, Ryuu-chan was wayyy too excited at the Macaron Tower ~

 

Tomo: You ate almost all the macaroons there was it got me a bit worried. 

 

Ryuuji: That's not true. I'm not like Yuta who eats without a care in the world. I still have restraint.

 

Yuta: Ryuu-chan, you meanie. 

 

Tsubasa: Everyone, the shuttle is ready to pick you up so if you're done here please head to the back door.

 

Ryuuji: Ah, Tsubasa ...

 

Tomo: ....? Ryuuji?

 

Tsubasa: Ryuuji-kun, is something wrong? 

 

Ryuuji: ....... Hey, Tsubasa. 

 

Tsubasa: Yes. 

 

Ryuuji: Earlier, Tomo's secret hideout. Did he take you there? 

 

Tsubasa: Secret hideout .... oh! Do you mean the secret garden? 

 

Ryuuji: ..... I thought as much. 

 

Tsubasa: Yes. The place was very gorgeous. Who would have thought there is such a  place like that at the back of the newly opened flower garden today.

 

Ryuuji: ..........

 

Tsubasa: Ryuuji-kun?

 

Tomo: Ryuuji. Are you perhaps against me telling Tsubasa about that place? 

 

Ryuuji: ..... that's not it.

 

Tomo: Hehe. Okay then, then let me guess? You are feeling down because I did not invite you to come along.

 

Ryuuji: !!!!

 

Tsubasa: Eh? 

 

Ryuuji: No!

 

Tomo: Ahaha, sorry sorry. I'll make it up for you, Ryuuji. C'mon, cheer up, please?

 

Ryuuji: ... The next time you go there, make sure the 3 of us all go there together. 

 

Tomo: Of course, I promise.

 

Ryuuji: All these talks about the secret garden make me want to go there now. Let's go later. 

 

Tomo: Okay, we'll do. 

 

Ryuuji: Good! 

 

Tsubasa: (Ryuuji-kun looks happy. I believe the two shared many fond memories together at that place so it probably must mean a lot to Ryuuji-kun too ....) Does the secret garden hold some sort of meaning for the two of you? 

 

Tomo: The place used to be owned by my father's friend. They regularly used to host parties in the nearby garden where my father and I were often invited to. I tend to make an escape from the party, and because of that while wandering around I accidentally stumble upon the secret garden.

 

Tsubasa: Kitakado-san escaping a party? I could never imagine that coming from you.

 

Tomo: I was young and a little bit mischievous back then, but the place left an impression on me so I ended up becoming attached to it. I heard my father's friend passed away and the place was to be taken over by another. Since then I thought it doesn't exist anymore. 

 

Ryuuji: When we were in Bambi, Tomo would take me there several times. 

 

Tomo: Up until now, there is only Ryuuji who knows of the place and is the only one who I have taken with me to the garden. 

 

Tsubasa: So that's why the place held such special meaning, but you took me there. Why ....? 

 

Tomo: Because Tsubasa is now our friend that's why. For this ceremony, you worked very hard for us. So, consider this a reward. 

 

Tsubasa: ah ...

 

Tomo: Did I made u feel uncomfortable ...? 

 

Tsubasa: No! I am grateful! Thank you so much! 

 

Tomo: That's a relief. You were so beautiful being surrounded by colorful flowers, just like a princess from a fairytale.

 

Tsubasa: What?

 

Ryuuji: Hehe, Tsubasa's cheek is all red. 

 

Tomo: Ryuuji too. When you are there, you looked irresistibly charming.

 

Ryuuji: Hey, Tomo. What are you implying? 

 

Tomo: I still remember it as if it was yesterday. It still burns on my mind the first time Ryuuji was there. Ryuuji was showered in petals blown up by the wind. It looked as if fairies were just born out of the flowers and danced around him. 

 

Ryuuji: S-Stop it! Tomo!? Don't bring up old stuff! (Blushes)

 

Tsubasa: Ahahah ... (As I thought, they have a strong bond)
