CHAPTER 30: THE PAINFUL TRUTH
The Secret
Sho sighed deeply as he leaned against the wall. Finally, he managed to find peace, for a while. Sitting on the cold floor, he stretched his tired legs. There was nobody on the rooftop on the agency company on the time like this. Basically, he was not the type who ran away from people when it came in any kind of issue. But this time, he need time for himself. Seriously need them. Though he was able to answer everything calmly, but his heart could not take it at all. Not when Maki was mentioned many times in front of him.
“Running away Sho?” A voice woke him up from his thought. Immediately he darted his gaze toward the voice. Nino flashed a wide smile to him while folding his arms.
“Well, it was not that easy to run from us,” another voice added behind him. Groaning softly, Sho looked back at the view in front of him. He knew too well the owner of the voice.
“I thought all of you going back already,” Sho said when the two of them seated next to him. Jun chuckled softly hearing Sho’s reasons.
“ Sorry to say, but we are not going back yet. Now, here you go, take this one,” Nino gave him a drink and another one for Jun, who was taking some food from the plastics too. Sho rolled his eyes for a while, reluctant to take at first, but he knew that his friends came with good intention. Unable to refuse it, he took the can and drink it.
For almost one hour, they ate food, talked a lot especially regarding to their works, concert, drama and many more. Finally, Nino gave Jun a hint to ask the questions that they were really eager to ask. Clearing his throat, Jun looked at Sho who was staring at the drinks. He looked extremely relaxed right now compared last one hour; ragged, tired, and worn out.
“ Sho,” Jun called him. Slowly, Sho lifted up his chin and looked at the man who called him. This time, his face was serious.
“ Why you never told us about you meeting Maki recently?” Sho sighed softly as he heard the question. He knew that both of them came to ask for the same thing. It just, they took it slowly. His gaze darted back to the can of drink in his hands. His voice stuck in his throat.
“Do...do you have problem with Maki, Sho?” Nino asked him softly. It was very unusual for the man to become quiet like that. Sho turned his gaze toward the view.
“ I do have problem with her,” Sho said calmly. Jun knitted his eyebrow hearing what Sho said.
“Well, looking at the kissing picture, it doesn’t look like a problem for me.” Jun chuckled himself. He knew that Sho was kind of slow when it came to relationship. If paparazzi was able to snap the kissing picture, that mean it was good enough.
“It’s not about the kiss....it’s....Maki...” Nino exchanged look with Jun who was drinking from his can.
“What is it? Is the kiss was not enough? Maybe you should....” Before Nino could added some more, Sho cut off him first.
“ She’s pregnant.” Instantly Jun and Nino stood up.
“ SHE’S WHAT??!!!!” they said in unison. Panic was all over their face.
“ She’s pregnant....” This time his voice was soft, but loud enough for them to hear. Panic started to attack on Nino as he heard Sho’s confirmation.
“ Oh...my ....Maki’s pregnant Sho? Gosh...how...how could this happen? I thought you...you kinda slow when it comes to this....oh...your career....what will happen...ohh...Johnny gonna...gonna mad at you and....the baby...the paparazzi......” Nino mumbled while pacing back and forth in front of Sho. His hands raked his hair vigorously. Jun was unable to move his feet, neither to talk. The news were t
