The night of the concert…
This is it! At long last!
After an intense preparation for this incredible night, the SHIPS, along with Tina Garland and Kirari will finally be able to give their fans one grand performance that they would never forget for sure.
And Hiroto had thoroughly prepared for his solo performance. He wanted to give this to his fans… and more importantly, to Kirari… He wanted to show her his improvement as he tried his very best to convey his unrequited feelings for Kirari to the lyrics of the song that he chose to preform for that special night.
He's really thinking about it. He only hoped that somehow, Kirari would know that this was the song that was meant for her.
After Seiji's solo performance that the fans obviously liked, now it was his turn to perform.
This is it! I can do this! He kept on saying that to himself as he went out of the backstage and smiled happily in front of his fans, while waving his hand to them. A lot of girls screamed his name as soon as his name was mentioned by Seiji.
As he prepared himself, he sighed. And then he smiled.
"This song that I'm going to sing tonight is something special. This song is the one I dedicate to the girl I love."
With that sword that came out of his mouth, his fans wailed in such disappointments. But this didn't stop him from continuing. This was his own moment, after all.
"And I wanted to tell her that… there's always someone beside you that has loved you and I guess you never knew. I have loved you since the day I finally realized that love is possible if it's you I'm going to love. I've always been here beside you, loving you secretly to the fullest extent. I hope that this song will open your eyes to make you realize that I will never love anyone else but you. This song is for you—" he paused, then he closed his eyes, heaved a sigh and opened them again. "—Kirari-chan…"
Everyone was surprised at what he said. Even Kirari.
But at that same time, they couldn't help but to feel emotional and romantic with his revelation.
And then the music has played.
With all his heart, he's going to sing the song that he chose for this night. A song that will hopefully make Kirari realize his feelings that will always be for her.
You've been searching the world to find true love
Looking in all the wrong places
When all of the times, you've been blind to love
As plain as the nose of the faces
That's right. Kirari was looking for true love, even though she was somehow oblivious of his feelings for her. He loved him deeply and truly; but unfortunately, even though he's showing it in some way, she never noticed it at all. And it's really hard for him.
It's here, it's now
Open your eyes to see it
Right here, right now
Open your eyes to love
If only he could have done something before to open her eyes to his unrequited love, then maybe…
You've been down on yourself
Thinking something's wrong
Wondering why love has never found you
Don't you know it's been right here all along
If only you look around you
Unfortunately, she never knew. Probably after this confession, she would avoid him… and hate him, eventually. And though he doesn't want that to happen… he guessed that it would be inevitable since he just blurted out his feelings. And in front of the audience, for goodness' sake!
It's here, it's now
Open your eyes and see it
Right here, right now
Open your eyes to love
But he really wanted her to know his feelings for her. At least, he wanted her to know that someone really do care for her and love her even though it really hurt him knowing that she liked Seiji.
Love has been right by your side
So close that you couldn't see
If love could speak, it would shout to the sky
"I've always been here
I always will be"
And that's exactly what he wanted Kirari to know. He's always been by her side and always will be… loving her to the fullest extent. But he's really an idiot. He has all the chances before to tell her the truth but he let all of it slipped away in his hands. And what's worst, he only realized that now.
I'm here, I'm now
Open your eyes to see
Right here, right now
Open your eyes to love
He's always here… and he'll continue loving her. Endlessly. That's what he finally realized after all that confusion.
Open your mind to love
He'll love her even if she'll hate him because of that confession. Even if he could only love her from afar, it doesn't matter. As long as Kirari will remain Kirari, that's all that matters now. And he also realized…
Open your heart to love
Loving Kirari was the greatest and the most beautiful thing he could have ever done in his life. And no matter what happens now, he'll never ever regret that he had loved Kirari more than himself. He'll never regret it even for one second.
After that song, he was surprised to hear the audience cry. But after that, it gave him so much happiness and relief when he heard them cheer and scream.
"You're amazing, Hiroto!" some people from the audience screamed.
And they continued like that when he left the stage. At the backstage, he saw the staff and crew clapping their hands. Even Seiji. But when he looked at Kirari, she had this serious look on her face that one could tell she's angry… in a way.
He made his way towards Kirari's direction and he sighed before reaching her. And then he stopped to her side before he spoke.
"I know I really surprised you, but believe it or not, it's true. I'm sorry if… I only managed to tell you the truth now." And with that, he began to walk away from her.
But it surprised him when he felt that someone grabbed his hand. And when he turned around to find out who did it, he didn't know how to react when he saw Kirari looking at him intently while she was holding his hand.
The two of them were in that position for a while. Both of them only stared at each other with Kirari still holding his hand. And the other people on that backstage could only watch the two with anticipation for they wanted to know what's going to happen.
Kirari sighed and looked at Hiroto. "You're not going to run away after that confession of yours, are you?" Hiroto was surprised to hear that question that caused him to blush like a tomato. And then unconsciously, he looked away as he wanted to avoid her stares.
He shook his head as a response to that question. And after that, he sighed. "I just don't want to see you get angry at me after that… that confession. But I'm not going to take it back."
He glanced at her, looking to her eyes that vividly expressed her emotions at that very moment. And he doesn't want to believe that for he might be hurt once he learned that those emotions were not what he thought it was.
"Sure you won't. because once you take it back—" she paused. "—I'm gonna be so mad at you and you're not going to like it, that's for sure."
That made him stunned. "I-I don't get what you mean…"
But before he could add another word to that, he saw Kirari's tear fell down. "Hey… Kirari-chan—"
"I love you too, you meanie!" What she blurted out didn't actually register immediately inside his mind.
What did she just say? Kirari… loves me, too? His eyes widened at that thought. And without him knowing it, he slowly pulled her right into his arms to embrace her… tightly.
"Kirari… is that true? Or am I just dreaming?" he asked, almost in a whisper but Kirari heard it. She didn't say anything, though. She just hugged him back. And that's the time that he could really tell that he's not dreaming.
The girl he loved more than himself also loved him. And he's quite convinced that this was the best night he ever had and the best concert that he had ever done.
The others clapped while screaming and shouting at the same time because of that lovely scene. Even Seiji and Naa-san were really happy for the two of them. He sighed with contentment.
"Say, Kirari…"
"What is it?" she dreamily asked that made him smile.
"Since when did you actually love me?" he asked straightforwardly.
"Actually… I'm not quite sure. I just woke up one day realizing that my feelings for you are a lot deeper that what I've felt for Seiji-kun." And with that, she smiled. The sweetest smile he had seen so far.
And it made him smile, as well.
He hugged him again. Then he heard her spoke the words he never thought he'll ever hear coming from Kirari's lips.
"I love you so much… Hiroto-kun," Kirari said happily.
"I love you, too… Kirari. And that will never change."
And even though there were people watching, the two of them kissed in order to seal that new bond formed that one special night.
So he guessed that song really helped him open Kirari's eyes to his love and finally released the feelings long hidden inside of his heart ever since he learned that he loved her.
And so he said to himself… he'll never ever forget this night.
This magical night that changed his life forever…
