Love Shine

The day have passed but the excitement Shine feel about working in the club again, is causing her to stay awake.

"I am going to see Min and Monika and Nam and Javier tomorrow!" Shine said to herself.

"And YUZURU too" Her inner self said as she's doing a cartwheel.

"but Yuzuru will not be there..." Shine sadly remind herself.

Shine reach for her old phone at her bedside table and started to read the text messages from Yuzuru, during the NHK trophy.

28-11-2014 9:00 a.m

Today is my last chance to qualify for the finals...I know if you're here you'll be saying things like: "I am the Greatest" or "Whatever happened I am still the best" just to cheer me up...But you know, just hearing your voice is enough to give the strength I needed...I miss you so so so much, Shine and I love you very much.

28-11-2014 10:00 p.m

My short program was bad as I expected it to be but I keep on thinking what will you say to cheer me up...maybe you'll say that "5th wasn't bad at all, you can still do a better job tomorrow", I miss those words from you. Imagining that you'll still say it to me, breaks my heart again...I love you and I wish you can still hear me say it...

29-11-2014 1:00 p.m

Today will be the last day of NHK and I am so nervous. Usually, I am not texting anyone at this hour of the competition but today, I need to at least release my nerves. Guide me from above there and give me strength I'll need...I love you always, Shine...

29-11-2014 9:30 p.m

I qualify! I am the last person that will be going to Barcelona!...Thank you! because I know you are guiding me...Actually, I am still wishing that I can share this moment with you but... I LOVE YOU Shine and I will never be tired of saying that.

"I love you too...so much" Shine said, sobbing.

Shine put her phone back on the top of her bedside table and looked at her bracelet.

"Soon, I am going to see you again...Just wait" Shine promises.
....

Shine park her red Ferrari in the basement parking and walk inside the club. Her heart beat becomes faster and louder as she walk closer to the club.

"This is it" Shine said to herself, touching her bracelet. Then, she realized that she needed to hide her bracelet. She remove it and put it inside her dark brown purse as she continue to walk. Shine has never remove her bracelet from the moment she let Yuzuru put it on her except when she was in the hospital, which was mandatory.

Inside the club, Coach Brian is waiting for Shine together with three Asian looking people — they are either Koreans or Japanese in her eyes.

"Hello" She greets Brian as she approached him.

"Good morning Hana! I want you to meet Kazumi Sato, she is a figure skater and she will be our new student. And this is her mother, Mayumi Sato and their interpreter, Ryu Hagashi" Brian introduced. Ryu translate what Coach Brian said and they all bow to Shine. "This is Hana Kim, our new receptionist, she also know how to speak Japanese and she will be helping me with the translation" Coach Brian finishes as he smile to Shine. Ryu translate again what Coach Brian said.

"Nice to meet you Kazumi...Mayumi...Ryu" Shine said in Japanese as she alternately shake their hands. Kazumi scan Shine from head to toe —maybe she is intimidated by Shine's aura or she just can't believe that someone like Hana is working at the club.

Shine frown as Kazumi looked at her from head to toe, "what's her deal?" Shine asked in her mind.

As they walk towards the elevator "I think, others will be surprised when they see you"Coach Brian suddenly whisper in Shine's ear. Shine show no reaction. "Oh by the way, I liked your style..so chic and modern" Brian compliments Shine. Shine is wearing a black large, turtle neck collared top with a brown trench coach and a white stretchable denim pants, paired it with a dark olive green ankle boots and a brown purse.

"Thank you"Shine replied.

"I do look pretty in Hana's clothes " Shine proudly added in her mind.

The elevator open and Brian lead them to the reception where Monika is already present. As they walk towards her, Shine feel more nervous yet excited.

"This is Monika our other receptionist" Coach Brian introduce Monika as they reach the reception. "Monika, this is Kazumi Sato, she is our new student" Coach Brian refer to the young Japanese girl in his left side.

 "Hello! I am Monika, I am the prettiest receptionist out there!"Monika playfully said as she extend her hand to Kazumi.

Ryu translate again what Monika said and only then Kazumi shake Monika's hand.

"Monika is right! she is indeed the prettiest receptionist. Although Kazumi is pretty, she's not as pretty as Monika. And not even close to  Mikka, though they are both Japanese" Shine honest thought.

Monika then look at Coach Brian with a confused looked,  "other?" Monika inquire as she didn't notice Shine standing next to Brian too.

"Monika, this is Hana Kim, your new partner. You'll be sharing this space with her" Coach Brian introduce Shine and grin.

"O Monika, I missed you so much"Shine said on her mind as she wants to give Monika a hug. 

Monika is dumbfounded at Shine's present. 

 "Hi! I am Hana Kim but Hana will do. Nice to meet you Monika" Shine calmly introduced herself  as she extend her hand to Monika.

"I am Mon...i...ka...Shi..ne?.."Monika said, dumbstruck as she hold Shine's hand.

Shine frown and looked at Coach Brian.

"I told you Hana you look exactly like Shine" Coach Brian said to Shine.

"Monika, she is not Shine. Actually, I had the same reaction yesterday when I saw her. I told you guys that I will bring someone that will surprised you and I think, I nailed it "Coach Brian said , proud of himself.

"Hana, I'll leave you here with Monika. She will tell you, your work" Coach Brian said. He patted Shine's back and leave with Kazumi, Mayumi and Ryu.

When Coach Brian is gone, Monika invite Shine inside the reception. Shine obey.

"Hana? right?" Monika said but she's obviously still confused.

"Yes!" Shine said with an intimidating tone.

"Sorry about my reaction awhile ago, it just that you really looked like my friend... Shine" Monika said while she is scanning Shine's face.

"Don't worry! I kinda have a warning that this will happen considering how Coach Brian reacted yesterday when he saw me" Shine explain and she shrug her shoulders.

"How did he react?" Monika asked curiously.

"Ahm..he was like you, speechless. And he keep on staring at my face, then he told me about Shine" Shine explain briefly. "I don't mean to be rude but isn't Shine already dead? so why do you guys think that she's still be alive?" Shine asked, pretending to look confused.

"It all happened so fast and I guess we are just not ready to let her go yet. But seeing you closer, I can see that you and her are totally different from each other" Monika said and exhale.

"What kind of person is Shine?" Shine asked innocently.

Monika get two chairs and they sit facing their back on the desk.

"Shine?Ahm... She is a very nice girl; very simple and loving...Actually, I think that's the reason why the boys loved her" Monika begin and smile.

"boys?" Shine asked, intrigue.

"Yes! Nam and Javi, they are popular figure skaters too that train here. And both of them have a crush on Shine too. That's why they love to tease her" Monika answer as she smile at the thought.

"Nam! Javier! Isn't Nam always set an eyes on you? And Javier, well, he has a girlfriend right?" Shine's inner self said in surprised but Shine just keep listening to Monika as she tell Shine about Shine.

"And aside from the fact that Javi has a girlfriend, they will not dare to have more than that because they know that Yuzuru is in love with her and she also does with him" Monika relayed with a sad voice.

"Wait...Yuzuru? as in Yuzuru Hanyu! the figure skater OGM? I honestly don't know him but Mr. Johnson told me about him yesterday." Shine interrupted. Monika nodded.

"Wow! Shine must be really something hearing that even the OGM is in love with her?" Shine said as if she had no idea about this.

Monika nodded again.

"Yes! she is really something! I only witness their love story for a short time but I can see the overflowing love between the Yuzu and Shine" Monika happily tell to Shine.

"So what happened to her? I mean, what causes her death?" Shine asked sympathetically.

"Yuzuru got into an accident in his competition at China and Shine flew at Japan immediately" Monika pauses as her voice starts to crack "...and right after she came back here, she was immediately admitted in the hospital. When we visited her, she was already in a coma. But after only a few hours of being with her, Shine died" Monika sadly relayed and tears start to fall from her eyes.

Shine move closer to Monika and move her hand up and down in Monika's back, "Sorry" Shine said, sympathetically.

Then, someone knock at the table, Monika stand up and wipe her tears before she turn around.

"Nam..Javier"Monika said, sobbing.

"Why are you crying?" Nam concernedly asked.

Shine stand up too and she see a shocked expression in both Nam and Javier's faces as she turn around.

"Sh...ine??" Javier stammer.

"No! she is Hana...Coach Brian was right when he told us that he will surprised us" Monika said, smiling at them as she find their reaction amusing too.

"I am Hana Kim...but Hana will do...I am the new receptionist" Shine said and bow.

"You really look like her!" Nam said, examining her face more.

"Shine??? well, I kinda get that already" Shine said with a smile.

"How did you know her?" Nam asked as he crease his forehead and squint his eyes.

"Coach Brian and Monika told me. And like you two, they also had the same facial expression when they first saw me" Shine explain and she turn her head to look at Monika.

"Sorry for our reactions, it just that you really look a lot like Shine" Javier finally speak.

"So silly of me...Hana this is Nam and Javier" Monika interject by introducing them to Shine. "They are elite men figure skaters too. When one of our figure skaters appear here, then you should hand them their keys" Monika explain to Shine in a business-like tone while she walk toward the glass cabinet. Monika get two keys from the cabinet, "Here are you keys, Nam and Javier" Monika said as she handed it to them.

"Actually, Nam. Javier.  If you'll looked at Hana closely, you'll see that she's really different from Shine" Monika said more as she looked at Javier and Nam.

"Shine is a shirt-and-pants kinda girl. She always wear sneakers. She tie her hair in a simple ponytail and she always wear that big eye glasses of hers" Monika said to Nam and Javier while she looked at Shine. "Hana, on the other hand is very model like. Her clothing is something Shine wouldn't wear. But I hope you're not offended, Hana" Monika said more. " I don't mean it in a bad way, it's just that Shine is so simple, that she would think, wearing your clothes as a receptionist a bit too much" Monika explain.

"Monika really know you" Shine's inner voice said with pride.

"Ah Yes! And come to think of it, Shine will not blonde her hair" Javier said with a smile.

"Agree! Plus Shine is always shy and blushing; which make her cute actually. And I think that's also the reason why Yuzu fell for her" Nam said looking to Javier.
