"Only in Movies? Fake Love?"

"Don't change the topic Kaho. Why did you kiss me earlier?" I snapped getting impatient.

She just intertwined her hands and stared at them as she answered, "I want to make you feel better. I want to know if Len-kun will respond on my kiss. And most of all, I want to know what Len-kun sees with me." I barely heard her words.

Is she-? Is she talking about liking me? That she feels something at me?

I was surprised. But, in a murmur and reply I said one of my lines which I like the most. "There are no secret which won't be told. They will be revealed it's just not the right time yet. Forgive my weakness to not know such thing." I paused

"I've always been a cold lad and my heart became closed since before. If my feelings are what you asked me about then—I am ignorant about it because I don't know if I can feel anymore. Love is begotten as much as I know." I continued.

"….Len?" she mouthed in surprised.

I met her surprised gaze. "You are talking about love aren't you? If there are feelings hidden in my heart which is dedicated for you…?" I asked.

She was silent.

"Then, I am not entirely sure it is foreign to me…but, I think I l—like you, Kahoko." I stuttered the last part. I panted and shut my eyes. "I had an experience with being unloved, Kaho. So, forgive me if I can't love you still. My heart still complies with the word." I moaned.

I heard a touched in my cheek and I re-opened my eyes only to encounter understanding golden ones. "I understand. I know I am in a rush for saying such at your condition. I don't know why but, after all those taping with you. And you being open to me…it makes my heart beat faster. And I know that…I do love you, Len." She muttered in an angelic tone.

I couldn't help but smile and nod. "I'm so sorry, Kaho. But, my heart is still frozen inside but, I do know that I feel somehow different for you. Do you know that, you are the first one to make me blush and chuckle? I never chuckles for almost….10-15 years from now and blush. Never. Actually I—" I was interjected by my involuntary cough.

She shook her head in disbelief and patted my hand. "Go back to sleep, Len. You need it." She whispered and kissed my forehead.

I sighed and rolled over to the right to face Kaho. I half-opened my eyes. "Get some sleep as well. I don't want to feel obliged when you'll be stressed." I uttered coldly. Why couldn't I get rid of this cold attitude of mine?

She didn't seem to mind and nodded as she placed her head on her crossed arms beside me in the bed and closed her eyes.

"Will you be comfortable there?" I asked as I slowly fell to darkness.

Then, everything is getting dim and I only felt the warm of her hands on top of mine and her slow breathing. "I love you, Len." I don't know if those words were on a dream or by the reality.


-o-O-o-O-o-

I don't know if this is a plain dream, a nightmare or I am reminiscing.

"Len? Son?" Mom called.

I stood up from my seat and approached her with a hug. "Mom,"

I was only 7 years old then I don't know so much about the outside world that time. "Hello there, my Len. What were you doing before Mom and Dad got home?" she asked as we sat on the couch and I sat on her lap.

"I was answering my homework." I whispered.

"Oh, were you. Were you able to do it right?"

I nodded. "I already took an advance lesson about it few weeks ago so, I understood it right away." I muttered.

"I—"

Before she was able to speak again that time, Dad banged the door. "Stupid directors."

"D-dad…?" I whispered.

He gasped and looked over me. "Oh, I'm so sorry son. Dad was just kind of pissed with our director." He apologized and took me into his arms. I was trembling…I don't like seeing my dad frustrated or mad. "Shh, I'm so sorry to frighten you, Len. Forgive Papa, ok?"

I nodded awkwardly. "Hai…" I whispered.

Mom and Dad smiled to each other and encircled me in their arms. "Oh, our sweet little Len," Mom murmured and kissed the crown of my head.

But then it turned out into the time where my Dad already changed. They just got home from a check-up and I am already 14 or 15 that time. I glanced at the door when I heard the door knob being twisted.

"What does the doctor mean that I need to rest for few years to be able to act or play my violin again? That can't be!" Dad shouted.

Mom replied, "I ought to agree with his idea. You need to take a rest and your heart needs to have some…time so, it won't be forced. The acting and playing can be sustained after few years, dear."

I was watching them quietly and I don't want to make Dad more furious so, I stayed on the couch typing my report.

He became angrier with Mom's words and hit her. I gasped.

"Stop it." Mom muttered; she's too modest for this.

He was about to hit her gain when I stood up and pushed him away from her. "No!" I shouted as I spread my arms and block Mom from him. "Don't hurt Mom."

He gritted his teeth and grabbed me by my collar. "Listen to me, Len. You have no right to answer just because you are getting more knowledgeable. If I won't be able to continue this work of mine—you will! I won't help you fulfill your dreams until you sustain doing my job until you reach 20 years of your teenage life."

I glared at him. "Dea. Just don't harm mother anymore and I'll sacrifice my life for your own purposes."

"Len," Mom whispered.

Dad glared back at me. Instead of releasing me, he slammed me to the ground. "That's what you get when you fight against me, young man." He whispered as he left. Mom cried and helped me sat down.

I started to cry and I buried my face at her chest. "I want to die."


-o-O-o-O-o-

I felt something or someone shaking me so, I opened my eyes groggily.

"Len!" Kahoko shouted as she continued to shake me. She sighed in relief and shushed me, "It's alright, Len. You were dreaming…stop crying now."

I was –am- crying? I thought and absently touched my cheek. "I feel so vulnerable and weak."

"It's fine. I know whatever you dreamt was so horrible that you had to cry like that." She responded and sat beside me in my bed. She took one wet towel and placed it on my forehead before she wiped my cheeks and tears.

"You know, you shouldn't be acting like a nanny for me," I uttered sighing.

She giggled as a response.


After a while, she sat at her seat again and switched on the cassette and we listened to classical music.

There was a knock and the door knob was twisted then someone went inside I didn't expect.

"M-mother?" I gasped when I saw who came in, in my room.

"Mother?" Kahoko repeated as she looked behind her.

"Len, what had you done to yourself? Oh well, I missed you so much." She said and hugged me. I missed her too. She's not the one in fault why I feel stressed it's—"Your father is here as well." She said.

I was frozen when I saw him standing right in front of my eyes. Kahoko kept quiet on her chair. I gulped. "I—I don't…want him here." I spat my hands under my sheet are trembling.

His eyes narrowed. "Is that how you treat the father who raised you up and gave you such a career?"

I looked up. "A career where I am not happy and a future I didn't wish for." I retorted.

"Feelings are nonsense in this world of jobs and works Len Tsukimori." Dad responded walking closer.

Every step he takes makes me more frightened. I just hid it with my façade but, I guess Kaho can see through it. "Stop, please." She said.

Mom was surprised to see Kaho fighting against him. Dad glared down at her as she frowned up him. "Who are you?"

"I –" I interrupted.

"She is my girlfriend and I suggest that you shouldn't bother her." I muttered.

She stared at me.

I looked away. "What other conditions are you going to give me now? Let a car hit me so, I'll make an issue? Or play the hardest piece in violin world and be praised by nuisances?" I offered sarcastically and stoically.

He slapped my face through the back of his hand which shocked me. "How despicable! I can't remember raising you like this!"

"I am only telling the truth." I growled.

He was about to hit me again when Kahoko held his wrist. "No way, sir. What you are doing is prohibited here! Especially, you are inside the hospital and you are the patient's family." She reminded.

Dad clenched his teeth and Mom was too late when he shoved Kaho away from him. He may have a little illness yet, it won't stop him to be arrogant.

I stood up from my bed and gave Kaho my hand. "Are you hurt? Tell me," I asked.

She shook her head. "Not at all. Y—"

I looked behind me and in madness, Dad was about to grab Kaho when I blocked her like how I blocked Mom when Dad was hitting her. Like before, he grabbed my polo's collar and lifted me with angry force.

"You really like being beaten up, don't you, Len?" he snapped then did the same and threw me over a counter.

The doctor came and stopped Dad and Mom cried as she apologized to Kaho and then, "Oh, Len…forgive me…forgive us!"

I tried to sit down but failed. "It's…fine. It wasn't your fault."

She cried more and ran after Dad… I wonder why she loved him so much?

Kahoko knelt beside me together with the doctor and nurses. "Len? Can you hear me?"

"Kaho," I whispered.

She took my hand between both of hers. "Hey," she greeted. "Let's go back at the taping together. Please rest,"

Then, my eyelids feel and I felt being carried back to my bed and my hand warm.

"Len, I'll stay…don't think you are alone." She murmured.

I nodded and smiled. "I know." I responded then after awhile asked, "Kahoko,"

"Hm?"

"What is love-?" I asked then passed out without knowing the answer.

Kahoko's POV: (Only for the ending)

His breathing became slow and then his whole body relaxed.

His question. What is love? Hit me hard.

I just answered one of my lines, "Love is something you wouldn't expect to come but, you know it is the funny thing called love. If you know the difference between likeness and love then, you are ready to accept your fate to love somebody though, I know your heart is closed." I whispered. Now he knows what I feel I hope…I will know what he truly feels soon.


A/N: Haha, I know this IS a stupid chapter. In here, I focused on Len's family side. At other time, at Kaho's. Her life isn't complicated enough as much as Len's. BTW, I also changed Len's dad's character. Here, he is violent, arrogant, ill-tempered, moody, strict, perfectionist (in a bad way) and…the one treating his own child as an instrument. But soon, all of these will be changed ok?

Sorry for any typos or grammar errors. I am kind of in a rush.

And, please STILL review even though you don't like the chappie. But here, I also focused at Len's and Kaho's confessions as well as Len feeling unaware of the thing called 'love'.

PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW AND I WILL UPDATE SOON AGAIN! PLEASE!


Romantic Sneak Peek:

As I was about to go in…I heard laughter from inside. I peeked through the glass part of the door and saw Kahoko on Tsukimori's lap laughing as his hand traced its way up to her shoulder. It tickles her.

Tsukimori placed his chin on the crown of her head and wrapped his arm around her waist and intertwined their hands.

Kahoko smiled and raised their intertwined hands as she snuggled closer to Len's chest. I can read in her mouthing the words, "I love you."

For the first time –I was surprised- I saw Tsukimori smiling –truly- as he replied her with a quick kiss.
