Summary: Jun was an interior designer for Remarkable Design Graphic Company, his life had been simple until he met Ohno – a perfectionist client who was very difficult to deal with. On the other hand, Jun eventually found out that Ohno was also a loving dad to his only son…
"I'm home." Ohno Satoshi opened his dark apartment. He didn't bother to switch the lamp, adjusting his eyes to the area surrounding him, he can find his way easily.
Inhaled a deep breath he walked to an ajar door on the end of the corridor, using slight light that seeped throughout the bottom of the door. Tiptoed he walked inside to see his son was falling asleep soundlessly, with his phone in hand. Ohno couldn't help smiling seeing his only son snuggling deeper to his pillow as he stroke the boy's head softly, something he wouldn't dare to do when the other was awake. He tried his best to slowly pulled the phone from his son's grip. It was a relieve when the phone finally saved in his own hand but it was lived shortly.
He accidentally touched the power button and there on the screen was the picture of a man, a very beautiful one, smiling at him. His son must had taken the picture, but he didn't know who the man is and how his son got to know a lot older man like him and most importantly what is his son relationship with him. Ohno put the phone on the table quickly when his son stirred in his sleep. He was so worry about the boy but he clearly clueless about how to ask his suspicious. How could he lost control over his son so much like now. If only his son was so close as he was used to be, he won't find difficulties to ask such question.
His wife left him when the boy was only 3 years old. As much as it surprised him, he never look for his wife, but filed for divorce the day after his wife left. He knew there was no love between them, their marriage just to justify his son’s legal documents, and when his wife finally fed up trying to keep up with his life, he thought he won't need anyone to raise his boy.
True indeed, his boy raised to be a fine young man but somehow along the way, their relationship changed. He got too busy with his new company, and his son was too busy for growing up, a phase that Ohno felt he lost his sweet little boy, and now the boy had a picture of gorgeous man in his phone.
***
When the next morning came and he sat facing his only son, Ohno still can't found a word to ask. He thought he can figured a way if he sleep over it, but that seemed not to be the matter. His son kept glancIng on the phone, like he was waiting for someone to contact him and again Ohno felt worry.
"Kazu, fInish your breakfast, your bus will come any minutes." the words flew out before Ohno can stop it and it was harsher than what he meant to be. He saw his son startled and a corner of his lips twitched in annoyance, he could even hear a silent ‘tsk’. The boy finished his breakfast nevertheless and stood up, leaving their house without any words.
"Hey, don't you have anything to say before you left?" Ohno gave last attempt to talk with his only son. He caught his boy’s hand, hoping for once he could jumped off the gap in their father and son relationship. That for once he could find his sweet little boy again.
"Saying what?" Kazu turned to face him, challenging him to say something. There were actually a lot in Ohno’s mind, questions like; 'dunno, what about the man in your phone screen' or 'how have you been?' or 'i missed our quality time together' but no, nothing came out from his mouth.
"I'm leaving." His son left even before he got any words nor courage to say anything. Ohno’s head flopped down on the table. He really is clueless on facing his all-too-soon grown up boy. He couldn’t even found the right word to talk about with his own son. Grunting to himself, he cleaned up before he too leave for work.
***
"You look like a mess." Ohno looked up from his feet when he found his co-partner, Okada Junichi, in the busy Shinjuku station. He just inhaled deeply, checking himself on the blackened window behind the man. He ran to the station realizing he was too late because he took his time screening his son's room, trying to look for another connection between the kid and that man on his phone. He didn’t find anything except crumpled letter in the bin full of ‘I hate Dad’ and ‘Stupid Dad’ written on it. Any father who just realized his own son hate him so much will of course looked like a mess, add those with the Tokyo morning rush, a real mess indeed, he thought. He tried to smoothened his hair and fixed his crooked tie
"What is it this time? Kazu refusing to go to school? Or the teacher called you again for his solitary? Honestly man, you should find yourself a wife, maybe Kazu can get a grasp of mother touch that you can't gave him." Okada continued as they walked together to a company where the meeting will be held.
"That will be just an additional problem." Ohno murmured, gave up trying to flattened his fluffy hair.
"Just think about it will you, Aoi has friends that she can introduce you." Okada added, opened the office door for him, but slightly grasped his arm so he knew his friend was being serious.
"Hmmmhhh..." Ohno just kept on silent. He knew Okada means well and that he, and his wife, Aoi, had been worry about him.
They had been friends since college and of course knew each other too well. They were there when Ohno was marrying his wife. Aoi was the first to carry Kazu out from the hospital since his own mother kept on whining how she’s too weak to carry the small baby. They were also the first to know when his wife left him, and they never leave him alone ever since, at least until Kazu in third grade of elementary school and he and Okada getting busier with their O2 Construction Company. The company they started since they still fresh graduated and now getting acknowledgement around Tokyo for their unique design. Which brought them to this fancy office.
"Hi, we're here to see Matsumoto Jun." Okada gave their cards to the receptionist, mentioning the person they meant to meet and checking possibility of working together in their future.
Ohno kept looking straight, following Okada's step beside him. The office is so neat with stacked papers on desks and people who were walking around bringing rolled papers to each other until they arrived in a room where a guy sat behind the computer, but Ohno lost his mind when the said guy rose and extended his hand.
"hi, I'm Matsumoto Jun." Ohno couldn't believe his eyes. There, in front of him stood the same gorgeous man as in Kazu's phone. The picture certainly didn't do him justice as the real flesh and blood is way to gorgeous than on screen. He looked closely to the sharp face, thick eyebrow even the small dots around the man’s thin lips. Yes, he is so gorgeous, but then why would that man involved himself with a little boy like his Kazu.
"Hey Ohno, stop staring would you!" Okada sharp elbow rested on his waist in no time, brought him back to reality, to the fact that he indeed gaping seeIng the man, ignoring the extended hand in front of him. Ohno quickly gave himself a mental slap and shook the hand, stating his name,
"Ohno Satoshi." - ‘and what is your relationship with my son, Kazu’. That was what he wanted to ask afterward, but of course he couldn't find his courage or maybe he just too slow in forming any comprehensive question.
"Good, so that you two here, we can start the meeting. As you know we will need to work together in this 5 stars hotel project..." Matsumoto guy opened their meeting but Ohno couldn't focused on anything but the man before him and thinking of any best possibility of this guy’s relationship with Kazu.
He knew he should at least try to be professional when Okada stepped on his foot. So he diverted his eyes, looking through the blueprint of interior architectural design spread out on the desk and hear the explanation from Matsumoto. But the more he listened to his explanation, the longer he heard the deep sultry voice, his mind again wandered to think what kind of words that man talked to his son, what they both been talking about behind his back.
"This won't work." Ohno simply said once the man finished with his explanation.
"Excuse me?" Matsumoto raised his perfect thick eyebrow at him in disbelief, expecting him to elaborate his statement.
"This design won't work, have to re-do this." Ohno answered him, couldn't understand how the man didn't see that the pan of the bar was too small to support the high ceiling lighting and the soundproofing around the restaurant area was not enough to mute the voices outside.
"What? We spent a full week to design this, how can you say we have to re-do this?" Ohno could hear raising tone in Matsumoto's voice but he decided to ignore it. The design indeed was beautiful, original and useful, but there were several small details that Ohno couldn't find a way to make it into reality, and adding with the problem, he couldn't explain it clearly to Matsumoto.
"Re-do this, we can't built it like this." Ohno circled the point he looked at and of course the other won't back out easily.
"Our main architects made this, there will be no mistake in his part, no? Unless you are not capable to built it. If so, better tell me now and we can look for another contractor." Matsumoto looked sharply at him and Ohno about to open his mouth again but Okada beat him.
"I'm sorry Matsumoto san, maybe Ohno san has his own reason, we can assure you we are capable in making all design. But it surely won't hurt to re check the design again will it?" Okada said softly. One of his hand grabbed Ohno's hand and squeeze it hardly.
Ohno stared at Matsumoto back, he knew how the man was annoyed by his words but he also not understand why he can't say his meaning clearly. He inhaled deeply, he couldn't find a way to say anything that won't sound harsh.
"Maybe you right, let me check with Sakurai san and we can discuss it in the next meeting two days from now. How about it?" Matsumoto suggested.
"Okay, seemed a great idea." Okada smiled brightly and answered for them. Ohno glanced at the clock in the room, it was nearing lunch time and he still need to go to another supplier, so he just nod his agreement.
They all rose up and walked out the room. He followed on the back letting the two taller man walk before him. He spent his time watching Matsumoto, wondering how a man as perfect as him would spend his time with his son. Could he be some pedhophyl? Ohno shook the idea quickly, Kazu should be smarter not to get into the trap, shouldn’t he? Though Ohno doubt that anyone could ever get away from the perfect man, nonetheless a teenager like Kazu. But no, nothing would happen, Ohno tried to think positively as they are arrived back at the receptionist area.
"Well then, I see you on Wednesday." Okada shook the other hand and Ohno followed his gesture, trying not to flinched when the man squeezed his hand a little tighter and longer than before, definitely still upset from his nonchalant advise in the meeting. Ohno tried to smile but it came out wrong, it was a cynical grin he shown, at least that was what appeared on the clean glossy elevator door behind Matsumoto. No wonder that man quickly let his hand go.
"See you two in Wednesday." Matsumoto bowed a little while the elevator dinged behind him. They replied the courtesy bow and got into the cart but that was the time Matsumoto's phone ringed. As the door closed, Ohno still could hear Matsumoto's voice answering the phone.
"Hey Kazu kun, where are you?"

Date: 2017-09-15 01:03 pm (UTC)It's funny that Ohno thought Jun as pedophile. Kazu seems to like Jun so much that he put the picture on his phone's lock screen.
And I'm smiling here reading Ohno's internal struggle to find the right words to question Kazu and Jun.
Love this story.Thank you for the update.
As Yun is not writing anymore, will you continue this story? I hope it will because it'll be too bad if it's not

Date: 2017-09-15 02:04 pm (UTC)And Ohno was too busy to pay him some attention, so when an adult pay him the attention, he felt attached to him. Too bad Ohno have bad impression on Jun before he even met him ne...
Thank you for your support for this story, this was what we need to continue actually. It always make us (writer) to feel happy whenever someone read the story.
As for Yun, let's say we'll definitely upload this story since it had been finished anyway, but I can't guarantee if she'll still writing or not. Knowing my sister, it'll take a lot of encouragement 😁
Again, thank you so much for your support and I'm also wait for your update story :)
