Time: Early 2004
Kat Tun had been very busy in the days that
led up to New Years. Being on countless television programs or back dancing for
other groups. All Taguchi Junnosuke wanted to do was to rest on the few days
off from his Kat Tun work. He knew that
he would never have a day off, because he had a pimp, one that had blackmailed
him into working at the park. His pimp had evidence on Junno. It would be given
to management if Junno didn't do as he was told. If that happened, it could
destroy Kat tun.
Junno
packed a gym bag with things he would need for the night. He carefully folded
his red dress, and put it at the top of the bag. He tried to act as normal s he
could. He didn't want his new roommate Ueda Tatsuya to pick up on the fact that
Junno hated his side work. He would go to a hotel called the Park, and along
with his partner would please men in exchange for money.
"You
are going out tonight?" Ueda had asked his roommate Junno.
"I
have to work." Junno smiled nervously.
"I
wish you would go out with me sometime." Ueda too was getting ready to go out;
he too earned extra money at the park. Unlike Junno, Ueda worked simply because
he adored it. He was a freelancer, keeping all the money he earned. . "No
work, just an evening relaxing together."
*I do
too.* Junno thought. Secretly he was in love with Ueda, but his friend was
going with Akanashi Jin. He was a boyfriend wouldn’t be too pleased that Ueda
was dating. "What about Jin?"
"What
about him?" Ueda smiled. "I thought it would be better if it was just
you and me."
Junno
realized that Ueda was asking him out on a date. "That sounds nice."
"We
could go to a movie," Ueda tempted. "Why don't we not go to the park,
and have a date instead."
Junno
couldn't help but smile. "All right, let’s do it."
Ueda
grinned. He grabbed the paper; he started to go through the movie listings.
"I heard of this great movie, I've really wanted to see it."
"What's
it called?"
"I'm
not sure," He admitted. "It's French, with Japanese subtitles."
Junno
ketai began to ring. He went to the corner and answered it.
"Junno, you're
running late." Hasegawa Jun told him. "Ishikawa's furious with you."
"Tell
him I'll be right there." Junno put up his ketai. Then he glanced at Ueda.
He wished he could go out with his friend, just once. He knew that Ishikawa
would never allow Junno to date. His stable of boys weren't allowed to have
real relations, only those that brought in money.
"We
can't go out tonight." Junno said softly. "I have to go to the
park."
"Is
Hasejun waiting for you?" Ueda guessed.
"Yeah,"
he looked down to his things.
"You
can't disappoint your boyfriend." Ueda looked upset. He tossed the paper
into the trash can.
"Hasajun's
not my boyfriend. We just work together." Junno picked up his bag.
"I'm sorry Ueda; I do want to go out with you."
"Do
you have to work tomorrow night?"
"I
don't know." He went to the door.
"Wait,"
Ueda stopped him at the door. "Do you really want to do this?"
"Of
course, I do." he lied.
"You’re
so much better then working at the park." Ueda told him. "Have you
ever thought of giving it up?"
"I
can't." he turned back around. "I'll see you later."
With
that, Junno left.
*******************
The park,
it wasn't a real park. Instead it was a botanical garden that dominated a lobby
of a hotel. A hotel whose manager didn't mind prostitutes working in his place,
for the right cut of their money.
Junnosuke
was getting himself ready in the small room that he and his partner rented.
With shaking fingers he put make up on. He was very, very nervous. Would he get
caught? That was always the chance, getting caught. Junno looked at himself in
the mirror, and then realized he needed more blush. He opened the blush
container, and smoothed the blush onto his cheeks.
You're
too pretty to be a boy Junnoko," He could remember his mother telling him
when he was only four. A son after
several girls, he wore girl’s clothes until he went to kindergarten.
He always
thought it was strange that a member of Kat Tun would have to spend his spare
time in a park, trying to earn extra money.
But he had to do it. If he wanted to stay in Kat Tun he had to do
exactly what his pimp told him to. If Junno didn't, he knew the pimp had enough
on him to get him fired.
He had
wanted to discuss it with his new roommate Ueda. Not only was Ueda a friend,
but like Junno, Ueda was a prostitute. Junno had fallen for his friend several
months before, but had always been too afraid that Ueda would laugh at him. So
he kept his feelings to himself. But that night had rattled him. Ueda had asked
him out. If the ketai hadn't' rang, they would have had their first date. Now
Junno realized that the date would never happen.
He wished he still lived
with Hasegawa Jun. Hasejun
was a transvestite too; they used to share clothes and make up. Hasejun had
been the one that taught Junno that pleasing men could bring him money. They
would go out together as a twosome, in just a few hours, they would make more
then they did in a month from the agency.
But the agency had decided that everyone needed new roommates, so he had
been forced to more into Jin's room. Still, they met at the park, and worked
together. Giving most of their money to their pimp named Ishikawa. Pimp that
got violent when Junno didn't work hard enough.
Junno adjusted
his clothes. He then left his room and used the elevator to go to the lobby of
the hotel. He went to the Park at least once a week. He hated going out, he
wanted to be a normal guy, going out with boyfriends because they liked him,
not because he was paid. But he couldn't stop, for Junno was a prisoner.
He looked
around the park. Three other pairs of juniors were working. He could see Jimmy
Mackey in a low slinky dress chatting to a customer. He was the only solo
worker of the stable. Everyone else worked in pairs. The oldest pair was Junno
and Hasejun. The other pairs were much younger, one pair being only thirteen
and twelve. The youngest pair dressed in school girl uniforms with bows in
their hair.
The park
was not the normal park, where gays met to have sex, or to meet low class prostitutes.
The prostitutes at this park were expensive, very expensive. Almost all of them
transvestites. The park was just outside the Ginza district.
He walked
down the sidewalk. He saw Hasejun chatting with a business man. His friend was
dressed in a black dress that he had borrowed from Junno. He saw Junno, and
gave a little wave for him to come to him. Junno went to him.
"This
is Junnoko-Chan, my friend." Hasejun introduced.
"It's
good to meet you," Junno gave a short bow. "We're called the two
Juns."
"What
the rate for both of you together?" The salary man asked.
One hundred fifty thousand." Junno smiled nervously. "We're
worth it."
"Have
I seen you two on TV?"
"Perhaps,"
Hasejun smiled seductively.
"I
saw the two of you on Shonnen club." he continued.
Junno
fought down a little panic. Would the agency find out? His smile grew wider.
"What would you say if we were on Shonnen Club?"
"Then
I would say I'm a very lucky man." He took out his money, giving half to
Hasejun, the other half to Junno. "I want to see the two of you perform
together, and then I will take one of you."
"Of
course," Junno smiled. So it would be what they called the 'usual'. He
closed his eyes as Hasejun kissed him. Then Hasejun pulled him behind a nearby
tree. Then they kissed again.
****************************
Thirty
minutes later, and seventy five thousand yen richer, Junno was again looking
for a date. . He had hoped that the salary man would have picked Hasejun to
use, but he had picked Junno. After doing one job, he wasn't so despite to have
another. Instead, he wanted to take a rest.
He looked
around; he could see his pimp in an out of the way place. Junno went to him.
"How much did you
get?" Ishikawa sneered.
"My
half is seventy-five thousand." He handed the money to his pimp called
Ishikawa whose real job was as Hasajun’s personal assistant.
Ishikawa
took most of the bills, and shoved ten thousand back at him. "Get back to
work."
"Of
course,"
"I'll
be here all night. I better not see you dating others for free." he
threatened.
"I
won't do that." Junno promised.
"Stay away from
Ueda," Ishikawa
ordered. "He'll give you some very bad ideas."
"You
mean that I don't have to work for anyone?" Junno said sarcastically.
"He told me I didn't have to work if I didn't want to. And I don't!"
Ishikawa slapped Junno
hard across the face. "You're mine boy. It would be too bad if the agency
found out that pure and innocent Junno was really a child molester."
His pimp
was threaening Junno again. Junno knew from experience that the Ishikawa had
photos and videos of him. He looked down. "I am yours."
"What
about Ueda?"
"I'll
stay away from him." he promised.
"Good
boy, now go earn me some more money."
Junno
walked away quickly from his pimp. He hated Ishikawa. He hated the park and
selling himself. Junno wanted to be normal, to date, to enjoy him. But he knew
that it would never happen. He would spend his life prostituting himself until
Ishikawa grew tired of him.
The Junno
saw him, his new roommate, Ueda. He was a fellow Kat Tun member and high class prostitute. An older man had him pushed against a tree.
Ueda's dress was pushed up past his waist. His customer’s pants were down
around his knees.
He hid,
watching the pair. His whole body excited as he watched his roommate please his
customer. For a moment he thought of what would have happened if they had been
able to go out, would they have made love like that?
Then Ueda
looked at Junno, he smiled a half smile, then went back to loving. His loving
was suddenly nosier, louder. It was everything that Junno had ever imagined.
Ueda knew
that Junno was watching him. Junno's face burnt with shame, as he realized the
truth. But still, he couldn't stop watching. . Usually Ueda had always been so
careful with his customers, using the bushes or a nearby love hotel. So Junno
had never seen him with another man. But the wait was well worth it.
He waited
to leave his hiding place until Ueda was finished, the older man paid him.
Junno
went back to the path, since he was so turned on, he knew he should find
Hasejun. They could find themselves a customer and Junno would be able to relieve
himself of all the sexual tension he felt.
It was
just a few moments until he felt something touch his back. Then Ueda grabbed
him, and pushed him against a nearby tree.
"Ueda,"
He breathed, before his roommate kissed him so hard that his breath felt as if
was sucked out of his body. Ueda's hand worked on Junno's dress, pulling it up.
"Did
you like watching me?" He asked between kisses.
"Yes,
I did." He admitted.
"You're
too good for this place." Ueda pulled up his own dress. "I want to
take you away from here. You deserve a normal life."
"I
want that too." Junno admitted.
Junno had
to have Ueda. He turned his friend and pushed him over a low branch. He shoved
Ueda's dress over his waist. Then he took his friend. He slowly began to thrust. Ueda let out a cry
of pleasure.
Junno
stopped for a moment. "Am I hurting you?"
"It
feels good, move!" He impaled himself onto Junno, letting out another cry.
Their
love making was fast, frantic, and very, very loud. Junno had joined Ueda in
making noise while they loved. Junno could see men who had stopped their dates
to watch Ueda love Junno. It felt
different from all tricks he had ever preformed. For this time, Junno really
wanted it.
Afterwards,
Junno's legs felt very shaky. He could feel Ueda turning and taking him into
his arms. Then Ueda kissed his lips very
gently. "That was the best sex I've had in a long time."
"Me
too," Junno confessed. Then he noticed as the crowd started going on to
find their own dates, that some men tossed money on the ground.
After
words, the crowd dispersed. Junno picked the thousand yen notes off the ground;
some men had given them a tip for their performance. He divided the money in
half, both getting twenty thousand yen.
"So
how much do I owe you?" Junno asked. He had been top, and he knew that
came with a price.
"Why
would you have to pay me?" Ueda sounded confused.
"What
is your rate?" He wasn't sure he
could afford Ueda's. He was embarrassed. He realized that he should have asked
before they had made love, but at the time, he couldn't.
"One
hundred thousand yen." Ueda told him.
"I
don't think I have that much." Junno took out his wallet, then he counted
out the money, including the money he had earned from the performance with
Ueda, he had only earned thirty thousand yen. . He handed it to Ueda.
"I'll earn some more so I can pay you."
"You
don't have to..." Ueda began.
Before
Ueda could finish, Junno was running away from him. He heard Ueda cry his name,
but he was so upset, that he ignored it. He reminded himself that it was just
another trick. That Ueda really didn't have feelings for him. He could remember
how Ueda had cried his name as he orgasm. Not any of the hundreds of customers
he served ever cried his name.
He almost ran into Ishikawa, who punched him
in the mouth, Ueda found himself falling. "The only whore you're allowed
to perform with is Hasejun!"
"I
didn't plan on being with Ueda. It just happened."
"You're
a slut! You're not allowed to be top!" He bellowed. "Only Hasejun is
allowed to do that!"
"I'm
sorry; I don't know what came over me."
"If I ever see you with Ueda again, I'll
kill him." This time he was kicked in the face.
"It
will never happen again." Junno promised as he got to his feet. He could
feel blood dripping from his nose.
"I
mean it!" His manager took out his knife. "I'll cut up his pretty
face, and then I will cut his throat."
"Please,
don't hurt Ueda."
"You
like him don't you?" he hit Junno in the eye with the butt end of the
knife.
'Yes, I
like him." Junno found himself falling yet again. He would have a black
eye.
"Stay
away from him!" Another kick, this
time in the stomach. "If Ueda dies, you will be the one responsible."
"I'll
stay away." Junno agreed.
.
"Remember I have proof on your crimes. What would your darling Ueda say if
he knew what you really are?"
"I
don't molest children."
"When
he sees the evidence, who do you think he'll believe your word? Or my
photos?"
Junno's
face burnt with shame. One night, one horrible night, he had been drugged and
forced to commit terrible acts. Acts that could put him in jail for a very long
time.
Get back
to work, and tonight, I get all of your earnings." The pimp ordered.
"Of
course," Junno began to walk to the sidewalk.
Junno
went back to the sidewalk and went back to work. He could see Ueda a hiding behind a bush,
watching them. He looked concerned. Junno took a tissue out of his purse and
held it against his nose to stop the bleeding. He would never earn any money if
he bled too much. He looked back up to Ueda, who said something and tried to
move closer to him.
Junno
wanted to run to Ueda, to have him hold him. But he had to save Ueda's life. He
turned and started looking for his partner Hasejun.
Ueda Tatsuya
was very upset as he went back to his dorm room. He had stood helpless as Junno
was beaten by a customer. Had it been Ueda's imagination or had Junno paid to
have him beaten? It had taken all of his will not to rush to Junno and rescue
him.
He had spent
most of the night following Junno, making sure that his friend wasn't hurt
again. Every time he saw Junno, his
friend suddenly had a date, so they couldn't talk. He was confused. Why had Junno loved him,
then insist on paying him? He
could still remember Junno moaning he loved Ueda, then screaming his name as his
orgasm.
Ueda had known for quite some time
that Junno was a fellow prostitute. His friend had never seemed to enjoy the
job. It had always been a chore to him.
Ueda had a feeling that Junno was keeping a secret. He wondered if Junno
had a pimp. The teen didn't have the kind of money that he should have if he
worked at the park. If he had a pimp that meant that he was probably being
forced to sell himself. Ueda wanted to rescue Junno from the life as a prostitute.
Ueda had fallen for Junno months
before, and he had put his friend on a pedestal. One that no one would be able
to stay on. He saw Junno as someone who still retained some of his innocence. Ueda
was angrier with himself then anyone else. He had dreamt that being with Junno
would be different then a regular paid date. That his roommate really cared for
him.
"Junno, are you all
right?" Ueda asked concerned as he came into the dorm room they shared. He
tossed his gym bag in the corner.
"I'm fine." one of Junno's
eyes were blackened, his lips swollen, his face bruised.
"But your face, someone beat
you up."
Junno's hand unconsciously went to
his face. "Don't worry about it."
"Who did this to you?"
'I fell, I wasn't beaten." he
lied.
I saw what happened, a customer hurt
you."
"You've never had costumers
beat you before?" he paused. "Don't' worry about Kat Tun's next appearance.
I have some special make up. It should cover the bruises."
"Why did you pay me?" Ueda
decided to change the subject.
"Isn't that what I was supposed
to do?" Junno was packing things in a box.
"You always have to pay a prostitute to top him."
"Never ever insult me by giving
me money!" Ueda threw Junno's money on the bed. "You are not a customer."
"You're right, I'm not."
Junno agreed. "I'm a whore."
"Don't call yourself
that." The harshness of Junno's words upset Ueda. "Never, ever call
yourself a whore!"
"It's the truth." Junno
picked up a stack of clothes and put them in the box.
Then he looked at what Junno was
doing. "Why are you packing your things?"
"I'm moving out." He
smiled nervously. "You know the reason."
"No, I *don't* know the
reason." Ueda insisted. "I want to know why?"
"You wouldn't understand."
he threw some more clothes in the box.
"I like you." Ueda told
him. "I really like you."
"I don't think we can be
friends after this." A tear rolled down his cheek. "We need to face
reality, we're both whores."
"That's a harsh way to put
it." Ueda went to him, putting his hand on Junno's cheek. "You’re
something special. A courtesan maybe, but not a whore."
"I'm too ugly to be a courtesan."
"You're beautiful." Ueda
caressed his cheek, and then he kissed Junno very softly on the lips. Junno kissed him back the kiss was gentle,
tender.
Junno pulled away from him, his eyes
confused. "I'm sorry, I don't have any money."
*So he does have a pimp,* Ueda
realized.
"Junno, have you ever been with
anyone when it didn't involve money?"
"Only Hasejun I thought he
really loved me." Junno looked sad. "I found out later that he was
training me to work at the park."
“I would like to teach you that real
love doesn't involve money." He looked into Junno's eyes. "I love
you."
"What about Jin? Aren't you
with him?"
"No, I'm not." Ueda said quickly.
“We were together, but it's hard to be lovers and be in the business at the
same time."
"Men paid you to be
together?" Junno guessed.
"Yes, they did." he
admitted. "When that started
happening, it took the special ness out of our relationship. We're just friends
now."
"I see,"
"Jin has Kame now." Ueda
reminded him. "That's why he quit the park, so he could be with him."
"Kame accepted him?" Junno
looked down. "What about his past? How can Kame accept the fact that he's
in love with a prostitute?"
Ueda realized that perhaps Junno was
asking more for their relationship, and not about Kame and Jin's.
"Most prostitutes are selling
because they need money, or they like sex." Ueda told him. "Some sell
because they have a pimp that forces them to sell."
"Do you have a pimp?"
"No, I don't."
"Then why do you sell?"
"My dream is if Kat Tun doesn’t'
debut is to go to America and study music." Ueda admitted. "That
costs a lot of money. I've been saving all of my earnings so that I'll be able
to live my dream."
"I wish I had a dream." He
said wistfully.
"Have you ever thought of what
will happen if you quit the park?" Ueda asked. "Don’t' you want to be
in love someday?"
"Of course I do." Junno
looked back up to him.
"I love you,"
Junno flinched. "Whores don't
love."
"What can do to prove to you
how I feel for you?"
"What if I didn't want you to
sleep with anyone?" Junno countered. "What if I told you I didn't
want you to sell yourself anymore?"
"If you asked me, I would
stop." Ueda promised. "I'd be only yours."
"I have to think about
it." Junno broke eye contact with Ueda.
"If you don't like me, you just
have to tell me. I won't bother you again." Ueda promised.
"How can I not love you?"
Junno said very softly. "My feelings are so confused. I need time."
"All right," He agreed.
"But don't move out yet."
"I won't leave until I make up
my mind." He promised.
************************
The days turned into weeks. Ueda
stopped going to the park. In his few hours of spare time, he spent in his room
playing video games. He wasn't a big fan of video games, but Junno was. So he did
what Junno enjoyed. After a while, he found out that he too loved playing
games. He hoped he would prove to Junno that he was serious about his feelings.
Most of the time Junno joined him. Sometimes they went out, to a movie or out
to eat. Ueda had fun with Junno, it felt like they where real boyfriends, not
simply whores that were enjoying their days off. Still, Junno wasn't ready for
a physical relationship. But in a way, Ueda had liked that, they where able to
get to know each other better.
Then Junno came into the room from the shower.
He opened the door to the closet and took his gym bag out. Then he began to
look at his dresses. Ueda got a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach.
Junno was planning on going to the park.
He wanted to go to the closet and
snatch the dress out of Junno's hands, then force him to stay. But he knew that
it might make Junno do exactly what Ueda didn't want. So he sat on his bed,
pretending to be involved with the video game.
Hasejun had been in Hawaii for a month
filming a television series. Now he was back in town. Ueda had a theory that
Hasejun was Junno's pimp. They always seemed to work together. When Hasejun was
out of town, Junno never went to the park.
"Are you going out
tonight?" Ueda tried to sound non-chalet.
"I was thinking about it. I'm
almost broke" Junno admitted.
"We just got paid, why are you
short on money?"
"I send most of my money home,
to help support my family." Junno fingered the red dress he had worn
during the only time Ueda had been with him. He looked very depressed.
Suddenly an idea came to Ueda, if
Junno needed money; he would make sure he got it. "You still charge
seventy five thousand?"
"Yes, I do."
Ueda took out his wallet and took
out a stack of bills. "I want to buy you for the night."
"I can't take your money."
he paused. "You said it would be different between us that mean no
money."
"You're right, I did."
Ueda put the money up. "Would you consider betting on video games?"
Junno turned to Ueda. "You
don't want me going out."
"No, I don't." he
admitted. "I'll give you every yen I have just to keep you here with
me."
"All right," Junno sat
beside Jin. He grabbed a controller. "What do you want to play?"
"You really will stay in
tonight?"
"Yes, I will." Junno
promised.
Impulsively Ueda kissed his friend.
Always Junno would let him kiss him, but he would never allow Ueda to go further
then just a chaste kiss. This time, Ueda was surprised to feel Junno's mouth
open to the kiss, his tongue pushed against Ueda's mouth, he opened his mouth
to Junno, and let his friend gently love him with his tongue. Ueda put his hand
on the back of Junno's head.
Then he felt Junno's hand on his jeans
zipper. He caressed Ueda's hardness as they kissed. He felt a thrill go through
him as he realized that Junno was finally ready to love. He wanted to reach
out, to touch Junno, but he knew it would be better if he let Junno take the led.
"Please Ueda-chan, please let
me love you." Junno begged between kisses. "Not as whores, but as men
who love each other."
In answer, Ueda began to work on
Junno's clothes. Junno took off his shirt, and then he began to work on Ueda's.
Ueda raised his arms so that Junno could pull the shirt off. They then pulled
their pants off. Both lovers’ hardness stretching up to their bellies. They
both laid down back down on the bed.
Ueda expected for Junno to make love
to him, instead, his friend stared very intently at his chest.
"What's wrong?"
"You're tits are so
beautiful." Junno gasped. "My dream has been to suck them."
"All right,"
Junno smiled, he kissed Ueda's lips.
His lips trailed their way down to Ueda's left nipple. Junno moved down in the
bed, so that he could get more access. He settled between Jin's legs. Then very suddenly, Junno took Ueda's nipple
in his mouth. Ueda had never thought of his nipples as an erogenous zone, but
as Junno sucked them he couldn't help but arch himself up into Junno's mouth.
Junno's hand went to Ueda's other nipple, pinching it. Ueda let his hand get lost in Junno's hair.
His mouth started making little
groans. He felt as if he was intoxicated. His mouth started babbling.
"Please Junno, please take me. I need you so much. I'm about to
come."
"No one sucked your tits
before?' Junno asked.
"Shut up and love me."
"I'll take that as a no,"
Junno gave Ueda a lustful look. Then he sat up, he looked around the room. He
spied something on his bed. He got up, and ignored Ueda's protests. He grabbed
the pillows on his bed. There where three of them.
"Lift up your hips." Junno
commanded.
"What are you....?”
"Lift them!" He snapped.
Ueda did as he was told. Junno
shoved the pillows under Ueda's hips.
'I want to see you as I love
you." Junno told him. He got back on the bed, and settled between Ueda's
legs. Ueda felt helpless, but turned on at the same time. Junno raised Ueda's
legs to that they where on his shoulders.
Then Junno took him. One hand began to love Ueda’s hardness.
Ueda let himself get taken over by
the feelings of Junno loving him. His arms scratched at Junno's arms, his body
tried to impale itself onto Junno's hardness, trying to get Junno even deeper
into him. Junno in response leaned down
and began to suck Jin's right nipple. It was driving Ueda insane.
It was happening fast, too fast.
Then Ueda felt his world explode. He yelled, not caring who heard him. It spurred
Junno on; he began to pound into Ueda with abandon. Soon, Junno took was
coming.
Junno slid out of Ueda, and pushed
the pillows onto the floor. Then he took Ueda into his arms.
****************************
Junno held Ueda close to him. Making
love to Ueda had been incredible. Nothing like anything that had happened at
the park. His life as a prostitute seemed very far away. He had Ueda now, his
Tatsuya. The fellow prostitute who had taught him that love wasn't just taking
money for sex. It was something much, much more.
"You where right Tat-Chan, love
can be wonderful." Junno told him. For the first time in a very long time
he was happy. The past month had taught him what it was to be normal. He
enjoyed it. He was now very deeply in love with Ueda.
"I do love you,"
"I love you too." Junno's
smile grew wider.
"I'm quitting the park."
Ueda told him. "I now feel as if I sold myself, I would be cheating on you.”
"Are you sure?"
"I'm positive. I'll never take
money again for sex." Ueda vowed.
I want to quit too." Junno
confessed.
Just then Junno's ketai began to
ring. He rolled out of bed. He picked it up his jeans and took the ketai out of
his pocket. The caller id said it was Hasajun's ketai. He didn't want to answer
it, but was terrified of his Pimp. "Yes, Junno here."
"It's me." a familiar
voice said.
"Oh hi, Hasejun." Junno
moved to the other side of the room.
"Do you have any filming
today?" Hasejun asked.
"I'm free tonight." He
glanced at Ueda; he realized that the past month had just been a dream. A dream
that had to end.
"Ishikawa wants to know why you
aren't at the park."
"I just wanted to take a night
off."
"You know we're not allowed to
take nights off." Hasejun reminded him.
"I'll be there in thirty minutes."
Junno turned off the phone, and then he went to the closet. He didn't look at Ueda
as he took his bag back out, and picked out a dress. He paused for a moment and
wiped his eyes. *Don’t' cry, don’t cry.*
"You're going out." Ueda
guessed.
"I have to." He folded the dress and put it in his bag.
Still the tears came, rolling down his cheeks.
"I'll come with you."
"You can't." Junno was
terrified. "He can't find out about us."
"Hasejun?" Ueda guessed. “He’s your pimp,
isn't he?"
"No, Hasajun’s my friend. He's
like me a prisoner." Junno told him. "He's the one that passes on our
pimp's messages."
"Why do you do what your pimp
says?"
"I have to." Junno's' voice was very
soft.
"Including selling
yourself?"
"I don't get a choice."
"Your pimp is blackmailing
you." Ueda got to his feet and went to him. "You never wanted to work
at the park."
"I hate it." Junno
admitted. "He has pictures, videos of me. If they got out, they would
destroy the group. It wouldn’t be just me destroyed. All of us would be."
.
"What could be that bad?"
"Hasejun, we were going
together. I really thought he loved me. Then he put something in my drink. It
knocked me out. When I woke, the pictures had been taken. I couldn't remember
anything that happened the night before." He confessed. "But the
photos didn't lie. I had done something very sick, and very horrible. I deserve
to go to jail for a very long time."
"How could you do something
horrible?" Ueda asked.
Junno opened a box in his closet. He
took a small photo album out. He knew that showing it to Ueda would destroy
their relationship, be he deserved the truth. He handed it to Ueda. "He
calls this my reminder."
Ueda opened the photo book, as he
began to look through it, he looked ill. "The juniors are posed around
you, but you’re asleep. You where unconscious in all of them.”
"I was?"
Ueda handed him the book. Junno
looked at it with new eyes. Ueda had been right, he was unconscious. He looked
through the book. No longer did he see himself as a child molester, but instead
as someone who had been set up.
'The juniors in the pictures,
they're part of his stable?" Ueda asked.
"Yes, they are." Junno ran
his finger over one photo. "Why would they agree to pose like that?"
"Perhaps they didn't get the
choice." Ueda told him. "Just like you don't get the choice to
work."
"I hate him." Junno said.
"I hate how he's destroyed so many people's lives."
"I have to stop him." Ueda
vowed.
"How can you stop him?"
Junno countered. "He has too much power."
"I'll come out tonight too.
I'll keep an eye on you." Ueda promised.
"You can't be seen near
me."
Ueda put his arms around his friend.
"He told you he'll hurt me, didn't he?"
"He says he'll kill you."
Junno paused. "I'm afraid Tatsuya."
"If I could get you away from
him, would you quit selling yourself?"
"Yes, I would. I want to only
belong to you." He paused. “We both
know that will never happen."
"We have to have hope.” Ueda
kissed him, with a sigh, Junno kissed him back.
***************************
Ueda followed Junno to the park. He
kept a discreet distance. His friend disappeared into a hotel room to get
dressed. When he came out, he glanced at
Ueda. His eyes were large, terrified. Even so, Junno was very beautiful.
Then he went on his way. After walking half way across the park, he
walked up to a man. Who punched him hard across the face. Junno fell to the
ground. The man moved closer to him, and for the first time Ueda could see who
it was, it was Hasajun’s personal assistant named Ishikawa.
Ueda
was angry; he should have realized it was Ishikawa. He had a stable of juniors
that he used as prostitutes. He had even tried to get Ueda to join his group,
but Jin had beaten him up at the suggestion.
He
would have to have back up with this problem, he couldn't handle it alone. He
went away from Junno and began to make phone calls.
**********************
Junno walked through the park. He
had to find Hasejun. He was late to work, and Ishikawa wasn't pleased with him.
He would have to work extra hard to make enough money to make up for the
missing time. It was cold, very cold. That meant that they wouldn't earn as
much money.
"Where have you been?"
Hasejun asked as soon as Junno found him. He was dressed in a dress he had
borrowed from Junno. His make up was
precise.
"I'm sorry I'm running
late." Junno tried to apologize.
"He’s taking all of our money
tonight as punishment," Hasejun chided. "You have to be on
time."
"What would you do if we got
our freedom?" Junno asked him.
"I'd quit doing this."
Hasejun told him. "But we can never quit. Why are you suddenly thinking of
quitting?"
He spotted Ueda in the distance,
watching him. He was dressed in normal street clothes. Junno couldn't' help but
smile at his lover.
"It's Ueda isn't it?" Hasejun
guessed. "Ishikawa's' told me to keep you away from him."
"Are you going to do it?"
"You have to be very
careful." Hasejun didn't answer the question. "If he finds out about
Ueda..."
"He told me that he'll kill
Ueda."
"He'll do something much worse.
Something that Ueda will never forgive you for." Hasejun paused. "You
think I seduced you so that you could join the stable."
"You did, didn't you?"
Junno accused. "You got me to trust you. Then you slipped a drug into my drink.
I bet you where there when the evidence was made."
"Yes, he made me stay and
watch." Hasejun admitted. "It was my punishment."
"Did I really molest those
boys?" Junno demanded. "Or was I unconscious?"
"You where out." Hasejun
admitted. "He had the boys pose around you. You never hurt any of
them."
"Why didn't you ever tell
me?"
"What difference did it
make?" He looked very sad. “It’s against Ishikawa's rules to love. I knew
it, and still I fell in love with you."
"You turned me over to
him." Junno had to control his anger. "If you loved me, how could you
do it?"
"If I hadn't, he would have
killed you."
"How do you know he would
really do it?"
"There was a junior, he was
fifteen. He was part of Ishikawa's stable.
His name was Inue Kenji. Kenji fell in love with his roommate. That
roommate was me. Ishikawa had just become my personal assistant. “He paused.”I
was only thirteen, but I loved Kenji. Ishikawa found us together. His men held
him as Ishikawa raped me. I can still hear Kenji screaming at him to stop. Then
Ishikawa killed him. They made me watch."
"Oh my god." Junno gasped
the anger left him. Instead, he felt sorry for Hasejun.
"I died the day that it
happened." Hasejun wiped a tear from his face. "I only became alive
again when I met you. My beautiful Junno. I had to save you."
"I understand now." Junno
hugged him. "Thank you for saving my life."
'If he finds out about you and Ueda,
Ishikawa's told me that he'll kill Ueda." Hasejun told him." He says
that Ueda is too strong to give into the blackmail."
"How can I save him?"
"You'll have to break up with
him." Hasejun told Junno. 'It's the only way to save him."
*I can't,* Junno thought as he
looked at Ueda.
"You're not the only one in
love," Hasajun’s voice was very soft. "I spend every day terrified
that he'll find out that I love someone."
"Who is it?"
"Will you tell on me?"
"Of course I won't!" Junno
said firmly.
"I'm in love with Kazapon. Our
times are too few. I'm terrified that he'll find out about him." Hasejun
said. "He'll force Kazapon to be like us."
A customer came by. He began to talk
to Hasejun, discussing prices.
Hasejun touched Junno's arm.
"Are you coming?"
"Of course," he went off
with Hasejun and the customer. He looked back to Ueda, who looked very upset.
He mouthed to Ueda. "I'm sorry,"
"Go," Ueda mouthed back.
Junno went into the trees, and let Hasejun
kiss him. He closed his eyes to the truth. He felt as if he were cheating on
Ueda.
***************************************
Junno looked as if him where a deer
caught in the headlights as he looked at Ueda. Then he had mouthed "I'm
sorry."
"Go," Ueda told him, even
though he wanted to run to him, to take him away from the customer.
"This will be the last time,*
Ueda promised. You'll never have to sell yourself again."
Instead of rescuing his lover, he
watched as Hasejun kissed Junno. Then Hasejun and the customer took Junno to a
hotel room.
Ueda turned and walked away. Even
though this would be Junno's last time, he couldn't watch it. He could still
remember how Junno felt as he loved Ueda, how his kisses tasted like. How he
had shown Ueda an erogenous zone he had never realized he had. The way that
Junno had arched back and cried his name as he came. He wanted Junno to be only
his.
Ueda walked to the edge of the park.
He waited for his back up. The only backup he could get was Jin. Everyone else
was busy. But it was good to have his old friend. He understood about being a
prostitute, having only quit the park when he fell in love with Kame.
Jin looked over Ueda. "Why
aren't you dressed up?"
"I'm not working." Ueda
said.
"Then what's the
emergency?"
"It's Taguchi; he's being
forced to prostitute himself by a pimp." Ueda explained. "A pimp that
works for the agency."
"Why do you care if Taguchi
sells himself?"
Just then, Junno came back to the
botanical part of the park. He straitened his clothes. He was followed by
Hasejun who took his hand, they walked down the sidewalk. They passed by Jin and Ueda. Hasejun smiled
at them. Junno just looked at them. His eyes afraid. They passed by, Junno
looked back at Ueda. Then they went on down the sidewalk.
"How long have you been with
him?" Jin asked.
"A little more then a
month." Ueda admitted.
"So why do you want me to help
you?" Jin asked confused. "It's been a month; you know he's a prostitute.
So why does it bother you that he works?"
"Neither of us has worked since
we started going out."
"So why is he working
tonight?"
"Hasajun’s back in town."
'Okay, what does that mean?"
"Hasajun’s PA is the pimp. He's
blackmailing Junno." Ueda explained. "He's got to be stopped."
"If we can't rescue him, it
might destroy your career." Jin warned.
"I don't care."
"You love him that much?"
"Yes, I do."
Jin smiled. "All right, I'll
help."
**********************
Thirty minutes later, Ueda was
following the pimp. Jin had pretended to buy Hasejun and Junno. So that them
some time off.
Suddenly two juniors, other members
of the stable went up to the pimp. The first one He handed the pimp a stack of
bills. The pimp took it all, and slapped the boy across the face. Jin watched in horror. The junior was barely
thirteen. He was young, too young. The partner was even younger, only twelve.
He took had all of his money taken from him. Then he too was slapped. The two boys then went down the sidewalk,
looking for work.
*I have to save them.* Ueda vowed.
The pimp saw Ueda, Ishikawa went to
him. "What are you doing here Ueda?"
"Just looking for
business." he lied.
"Dressed the way you are?"
He countered. "Let me guess, your going to try to buy Junno from me."
"How much would you take for
him?"
"Junno's getting rather long in
the tooth. He's all ready eighteen." Ishikawa said. "He only has a
few more months of usefulness."
"So sell him to me."
"Oh no, I know what he feels
for you." Ishikawa said firmly. "Junno's not for sale."
"I have quite a bit in
savings." Ueda tried to tempt.
"One hundred million yen is his
price.”
"You're not serious." Ueda
gasped.
"Oh, but I Am." the pimp
smirked. 'There's an av company who is going to give me twice that amount when
I am finished with him."
"What if I came to work for
you?"
"No, I don't want you. You're
too old for my tastes." He took a knife out; he pointed it at Ueda's face.
"Stay away from Taguchi, or I'll cut his pretty face up."
"I'll stay away." he lied.
"If I see you near him one more
time, I'll kill him." the pimp promised. "Then I'll kill you."
*******************************
Junno stood on the sidewalk. Hasejun
had gone off with a man who only wanted one prostitute. Junno knew that he should go out and try to
get a date on his own. That his pimp would be very upset. But he didn't care.
Suddenly he heard Ueda whisper his
name. He looked around.
"I'm in the bushes." Ueda
said.
Junno went into the bushes.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
Ueda took him in his arms. "Its
okay, Junnoko."
"But I cheated on you." A
tear rolled down his cheek. "Why does it matter to me? I'm a whore."
"You're no longer a whore."
he tried to reassure. "You're like the fairy tale princess that has to be
rescued."
"How can you do it on your own?
There's just one of you."
"I've gotten an old friend of
mine to help." Ueda told him. "We'll take care of him."
"I'm afraid." Junno
admitted.
"Don't be," Ueda kissed
him gently. "By the end of tonight, you'll be free."
"I have to get back to
work."
"I know," he let go of
Junno.
Junno left the bushes. He saw his pimp.
He didn't look happy. He started walking away as fast as he could from the
pimp.
*************************
Ueda looked everywhere for him.
Then Ueda's ketai began to ring. It
was Junno.
"What's wrong?"
"He's after me." Junno
sounded terrified. "He says he's
going to kill me."
"Where are you?"
"I'm near the fountain." Just then the line went dead.
“He’s near the fountain." He
told Jin. He ran towards the fountain.
Junno was being beaten by Ishikawa.
His lover lay on the ground, his arms covering his head. Still, the pimp
continued to beat him. Then the older man began to kick Junno over and over in
the stomach. Junno began to scream in pain.
Enraged, Ueda tackled Ishikawa. He
began to pound on the man.
Then suddenly there was a searing
pain in his midsection. He had been stabbed. He sank to the ground in pain.
"Tatsuya!" Junno screamed
as he was stabbed again, this time in the back.
Then suddenly Ishikawa was on the
ground unconscious. Jin stood over him holding a large rock.
Ueda fell to the ground in pain. He
could feel something touch his hair, and then Junno’s tears mixed with blood
dripped onto his face.
"Don't die Tatsuya, please
don't die." Junno begged.
He looked at Junno; his face
lacerated, cuts on his cheeks, his mouth swollen. "Are you all
right?"
"I'll be fine." he
promised.
There where the sounds of sirens in
the distance. Jin grabbed Junno. "We have to go."
"I must stay with him."
Junno insisted.
'Jin's right," Ueda
gasped. "You can't be found dressed
the way you are now. You'll get fired."
"Tatsuya,"
"Go, please." he paused.
"If I die, remember I love you."
"I love you too," Junno
bent down, kissing his lips. Then he turned and left with Jin.
