"Gotta go señoritas " Javier said with a smile an he turn around.

"Seeyah later ladies" Nam said as he slightly bow his head and follow Javier. But Nam turn around again and wave his hand.

When Nam and Javier is totally out of their sight Shine turn to face Monika again and playfully give her a interrogating look.

"So what's up with you and this Nam guy?" Shine said squinting her eyes to Monika.

"Nothing actually" Monika said and she is obviously lying.

"O c'mon nothing?? you are holding his hand in the cemetery" Shine's inner self accused.

"He sounded really concern about you earlier and that's nothing?" Shine asked with a sarcastic tone.

"Nam and me are just friends. Maybe we are a little closer than the others but he is just a friend" Monika said and a disappointed tone can be heard from her voice.

"A LITTLE CLOSE?So all these intimate moment of you two are what then?" Shine's inner self asked sarcastically again.

"I can tell that you are just more than a friend to him" Shine said and grin.

Monika looked to check that no one can hear them and she pull Shine down to their seats.

"I told you that he has a crush on Shine right? and to be honest I am kind of jealous about that" Monika said. She cover her face with her hands.

"What are you jealous of?" Shine's inner self asked, confused.

"But why are you jealous of her? You said that she and that Yuzuru guy is a thing already. And though I met Nam for only a couple of minutes ago, I can see the way he looked at you and it isn't the look you give to a friend" Shine reassured Monika.

Monika remove her hands from her face and looked at Shine again.

"Actually, I think he already has interest in Shine the moment she had set a foot in the club" Monika pause.

Shine frown as she honestly can't follow Monika anymore.

"When Yuzuru asked me about my vacation, Nam also approach me and asked about Min. Min is the younger brother of Shine.. anyways back to my story...I think he is already looking at Shine that time" Monika guilty said and bow her head while she play her fingers.

"O Monika! there is really no reason for you to be jealous. For all I know Yuzuru is the one that asked about Min" Shine's inner self said and laugh.

"Honestly, do you think Shine liked Nam in that way?" Shine asked and she can't help but to rolled her eyes to Monika, luckily Monika has her head down.

Monika shakes her head.

"I don't mean it in a good way but Shine is already dead. And even if she is alive now, base on what you tell me, I think she'll never laid her eyes to any other guy aside from Yuzuru" Shine said with all honesty she feel.

"You are right! I should not be feeling this way, especially not to Shine" Monika said and she stand up.

December 7,2014 Yuzuru's 20th Birthday

When Shine arrive at the club, Nam, Javier and Monika are already there; sitting in the front desk with a laptop on. Shine assumed that they are doing a video chat with Yuzuru to greet him happy birthday.

Ring...ring...ring...

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Nam, Javier and Monika said in sync —their voices covered the club.

"Happy Birthday" Shine greet Yuzuru in her mind too, as she reach the reception. Shine stand in front of the three with a smile. For Shine, they seem very happy to talk to Yuzuru again.

"We miss you here? When are you coming back?" Nam said and his eyes are glowing as he proudly talk to Yuzuru.

"Maybe after Japan Nationals" Yuzuru said and Shine can hear that  he is glad to talk to them. But given the time difference of Canada and Japan, it might be really exhausting for him.

"I will be seeing you soon, in Barcelona, my friend" Javier happily said.

"See you soon Javi!"

"Oh right CONGRATULATION! again" Monika said enthusiastically.

"Thank you! Monika"

Then Shine can hear someone approach Yuzuru.

"I forgot to give this to you Yuzuru...it's delivered earlier" a female voice speak in nihongo -Shine assume that it's Mommy Hanyu talking.

"Thank you"

"What is it?" Nam curiously asked Yuzuru.

Shine can only assume that Yuzuru is already opening the package because it becomes silent.

"Who it is from?" Javier then asked.

"It's from Shi..ne.." Yuzuru said in disbelief.

"What is it?" Monika asked.

"It's a USB and a letter" Yuzuru said blankly.

Shine signal Monika that she will go to the toilet - it hurt so much for Shine to hear Yuzuru'voice but unable to talk to him - and she leave.
....

Shine hurry to go inside a cubicle and let her tears to fall. Then suddenly her phone vibrates, it's Allen.

"Hello" Shine answer in french.

"Why are you crying?" Allen said on the other line.

"How can he do that? He don't need to asked to know that you are crying" Shine said wiping her tears.

"Nothing...It just that...I really miss him" Shine answer crying.

"Shhh...You can get through it...Min will be there so I am positive that you can forget him...do you want me to pick you up? I kinda miss my little cry baby" Allen said in a very comforting tone.

Shine sob and started to smile again.

"No need to come here...if you want to see me, you can always come to our house" Shine said with a smile.

"Now you're smiling...see you later cry baby" Allen said happily on the other line.

"Thank you Allen...bye see you later" Shine said and put down her phone down.

Shine look herself in the mirror and fix her smudge make up. "Showtime!" Shine said before she went back to her desk.

Shine saw Kazumi in the front desk, smiling widely but acts shy at the same time.

"Happy Birthday Yuzuru-kun" Kazumi greets him -Shine is being jealous that she interpret Kazumi's action as flirting.

"Well, I guess when you have a chance to do it...why not?"Shine said to her mind.

As she walk closer to her desk she heard the voice of Yuzuru again.

"Thank you Kazumi. I am glad to know that there is another Japanese skater I can talk in the club now" he said happily.

"Hana, you should greet Yuzu too" Monika said to Shine and she turn the laptop around to Shine's direction but luckily Shine is in her back and all Yuzuru can see is a blonde hair girl.

"Happy Birthday" Shine said while she pretend to be busy in the back.

"Thank you" Yuzuru said plainly and questioning her present.

"She is our new receptionist Hana. You'll want to meet her!" Nam said grinning while he looked at Shine.

"Ah ok soon maybe...by the way, thank you all for the greetings but I think it's time for me to go now...and Kazumi I am looking forward to see you in person"

Kazumi nod and blushed.

"See you soon! and Happy Birthday again" Everyone greets him again and wave him goodbye. Javier close the laptop and stand up.

"Gotta go..I still need to prepare for my departure later...bye" He put his cup in his head and leave. Without a word, Kazumi left too, leaving Nam and Monika with Hana in the reception.

"Hana, why didn't you looked at him?" Nam asked the now seated Shine.

"Oh Nam if you only knew how I really want to see him!" Shine's inner self sadly said.

"I just have this rule that I always want to first meet someone personally and not thru a video chat or something" Shine said in a convincing tone.

"Okay! but I am sure he will be shocked oh wait let me correct that, he will be more than shock, he will be astounded by your presence" Monika said playfully and everyone laugh.

Monika lower her body and signal Nam and Hana to come closer to her.

"But don't you think that Kazumi girl is kinda snob?" Monika said, whispering.

"I thought I am the only one that notice that" Nam second.

"Yes! yes! she is!" Shine inner self said in agreement.

Shine sit back and crossed her legs. She look Kazumi skating in the ice rink.

"Give her a chance...she can't speak english really well...maybe she just shy"

"When Yuzuru first come here he also don't speak english but he was always so polite and he always bow his head whenever he will pass through me...He just have that 'kind' aura in him" Monika countered.

"It's Yuzuru...my Yuzu where talking about! That's how he was brought up" Shine's inner self said.

"Each person is different just give her a chance" Shine said and she take a glance to Kazumi.

December 12, 2014, 9:00 am, Barcelona, Spain.

Shine arrive at Barcelona. She take a deep inhale and release a loud exhale.

"BARCELONA!" Shine said happily and freely.
