Are You Ready? Chapter 9: Jinguji Family & STARISH
The next morning or more like seven in the morning, Ren was awake drinking a hot coffee in his limo. He is going back home to see his brother to break the news about the baby. The handsome man doesn't know how his family will handle it. He couldn't sleep at all last night, the thought of him being a dad terrified him. Ren will do anything to make Haruka happy and be supportive. The thought linger…are they ready to be parents?
"Master Ren, we will arrive at the mansion shortly, how are you holding up?" His middle-age limo driver asked curiously as he gaze back at the rearview mirror.
Ren looks up and lets out a sigh as he leans back at his seat and sips his hot coffee, "Never been better Charles."
"I am surprised you wanted to come back home don't you have practice today?" Charles asked as he continues to make conversation.
The saxophone player does remember but he wanted to handle this situation soon as possible. Practicing with STARISH is at least of his worries. He can't be late though or his little lamb would worry. Getting a long lecture by Syo and the others is something he doesn't want to handle. Talking to his driver didn't bother him, he knows Charles really well and didn't mind being personal with him.
"Yes I do. Just have business with my brother and hopefully it doesn't take too much of my day. Today is my day off and I want to make it count. But thanks for the late notice, for taking me back home." Ren flashed him a grin and relish every drop of his coffee.
"Of course, sir! It's my pleasure, oh and we have arrive." Charles smiled as they arrived to the gate of the mansion. He waited for security to open the steel gate, and the limo proceed.
Ren gaze at his home and mixed feelings came upon him. The only thing he like about his home was going out to the garden to sing and play his saxophone peacefully. But the other times he was alone and was told what to do about everything. Ren doesn't have a good relationship with his brother, he doesn't think of him as a brother more like a boss. His father Mr. Jinguji was rarely ever home, he is usually away on business overseas and lives at France. Once in a blue moon he would come back to the Jinguji mansion. The saxophone player visits him for business but not often. He only comes back home during summer or winter breaks. The handsome man was ready to visit home once again. The door open and he stepped out and was greeted by the maids right away.
"Welcome master Ren! Do you have any luggage?"
"Would you like to have breakfast?"
"It's so good to see you again master Ren!"
The maids love to serve under Ren, they secretly found him very attractive and would do just about anything for him. Back then, he used to flirt with the maids by giving flowers and shower them sweet compliments. But he stop doing that when he started to develop real feelings for Haruka.
"Good morning ladies. No I did not bring my luggage I am only here to visit my brother. I would appreciate it, if you tell me where he is?" Ren kindly asked.
The maids all talked at once, "In his study!"
The STARISH member walk inside the enormous mansion, everything was spotless and style by expensive things like paintings, exotic flowers in fine china vase, and a breath-taking stairway that was laid by a red carpet. The floors and stairs are made by marble. Ren walk up the stairs and took him to the second floor and walk in a long hall-way.
Shortly after he is in front of his brother's study room. The handsome man closed his eyes and let out a sigh and knock on the door to wait and hear his older brother's voice.
"Enter."
Without no more hesitation Ren open the door and met eye contact with his older brother Seiichirou Jinguji. His eyes are the same color as Ren's aquamarine but their icier, his posture and his gaze gives off this stiff, strict feel. Seiichirou put down his paper work and beckon for Ren to enter in the room and close the door behind him.
"Ren, I didn't expect you to be here so early." He pushed back his glasses and got up from his royal chair and walk toward his table where it laid scotch. He pour himself a glass and took a sip and face his younger brother, "Now tell me what business you have with me?"
"Well where do, I begin…" Ren whisper to himself and walk to the couch to sit and his brother follow by sitting across from him. "I am just going to spit it out. I…" His expression became stern. "I…I am going to be a father."
Seiichirou squint his eyes and raise up from his seat and walk toward the window and is in deep thought as he spoke in a cold voice "Are you certain…?"
"Y-yes…"
Ren's brother said something that caught the STARISH member off guard, "Are you sure it's your baby?"
"What? Of course it's." Ren said in an offensive voice and stand up from his sit.
"I am very disappointed in you Ren…" Seiichirou began as he turns around giving his younger brother a deadly glare, "How can you be so immature? You're only seven-teen years old. Your life just began! STARISH just became popular, and you're the poster boy to honor our family. I cannot believe you throw your life away to be a father."
Ren crunch his fists and let his older brother yell at him. It's not like him to feel defeated, he knows what his brother is saying is true. But it's too late he can't go back in time to fix this situation.
"Who is the women that you slept with?" The cold-hearted older brother asked as he sits back down his royal chair.
"Haruka Nanami. She is the composer for STARISH. Look, this is my fault not hers. That night that happened we were drunk and it just happened." Ren put his hands on his face and rub at the back of his head and sigh.
Seiichirou collide his hands together and lean in his chair, "I should of guess…so this is what's going to happen. I am going to pay Miss. Nanami to keep her mouth shout about this mistake. Once the baby is born, we are shipping it to another country and let it live out there. I am not letting this 'mistake' ruin your lives." His voice was bitter and it's obviously he hates this situation. But it's stabbing Ren's heart hearing all of this. Something snap inside of Ren…
"Enough already…" He pick up the scotch bottle that was laying in front of him and he threw it with will power and shatter on the floor and his expression turned into rage. "IF I hear you calling my child a 'mistake' again! I will come over there and punch you in the mouth. I never plan this…but I can't help but love this baby that's inside my little lamb!"
The saxophone player's expression was in shocked of what he said, his true feelings came out. It even surprised his older brother he has never seen Ren act out like this before. But he can't help but feel in charge and control everything.
"I don't care…I know what is best."
At Saotome Academy…
The young composer lifts up her shirt and look at herself in the mirror and turns to the side. Her belly is slightly growing and she rubs it. Haruka realized she has to start wearing baggy clothes to hide her belly, but…she only owns clothes that fit her just right. Then Tomo enters in the bedroom while holding a bag and she pulls out a pink sweatshirt and grinned like a small child.
"About time you wear this?"
Haruka look at the mirror's reflection too see Tomo showing off the sweater and she sighed in relief, "Thanks Tomo! I was worried that I need to buy some baggy clothes…and since today is our day-off, I wanted to cover up because I am seeing the guys today in practice."
"About that Haruka…are you going to tell the guys? I mean they deserve to know." Tomo furrowed her brow as she is questioning her friend.
The ginger beauty put on the sweater and thought about what her friend said and she nods of the question, "Yes…I do want to tell them. But I don't think Ren wants me to say anything…" Then she grabs her pink phone and notice the time. "Oh! It's almost two o'clock! I got to go meet up with them. I will see you for dinner Tomo!"
"Alright love yeah!" Tomo shouts.
At the practice hall, STARISH is waiting and they are chilling as they chat away.
"Huh? Masato…where is Ren?" Natsuki asked curiously as he looks up from his phone. He was too busy looking up 'cute' things to buy for himself.
Masato became stiff hearing Ren's name and replied in a dull voice, "No idea. All I know was hearing him leave the dorm room at six in the morning…" Secretly he wonder where Ren was. He hope that his hangout with Haruka didn't turn into a nightmare.
"Wow…that's early I can never wake up that early! I love my sleep haha!" Otoya cheerfully said as he rubs his head. Then lays on the floor relaxing.
"Hn. It's because you're a deep sleeper Otoya…" Tokiya reply in a cocky voice as he leans on the wall while crossing his arms.
"I can't wait to see Haruka! When she enters in the room I am going to give her a big hug. "Cecil mischievous said as pink crimson appears on his face. He can't help but show affection to his favorite girl. Also he knows that it drives the others crazy.
Syo punch him on the head and had an annoyed facial expression, "Yeah right! Like we will that you do that. Keep your hands to yourself Cecil."
Then suddenly the door swung open as Haruka enter in the room out of breath and smile brightly to everyone, "Sorry that I am late! How is everyone doing?"
Randomly Cecil sneak behind his beloved Haruka and hug her so tightly behind her back, and his arms her stomach. Then something odd happen...
"Haruka!"
"C-Cecil!"
"Huh...?" Ceceil felt something off on Haruka and he turned around to face her. "That's strange...I felt a bump. Are you gaining weight Haruka?"
The ginger beauty gasp of that comment and blushed hot red. The guys were not happy of what Cecil just said and Syo couldn't wait to teach him a lesson but Natsuki hold him back to not make the situation worse.
Haruka feels like she has to tell them the truth, they're her friends. Even though she doesn't see Ren here, maybe it's best for her to tell them. So she inhale and exhale and look at everyone. STARISH look confused and they can tell Haruka has something to say.
"Everyone...I need to tell you something. I...I am pregnant."
Everyone was silent. No one didn't move or utter a word, they think it's a joke but seeing they way Haruka was acting and seeing her wear a huge sweater makes sense. Then their eyes became huge cat eyes and they all screamed at the same time.
"WHAT!"
The loveable Natsuki shouted without thinking, "W-Who is the father Haru!?"
Haruka blushed and collide her hands together and replied, "Ren."
At the moment the worse timing in the world...Ren Jinguji walk in the room and all eyes were on him.
