He sighed as he walked into his assigned hotel room. It was just after two in the afternoon and he was already tired. They had been up from five in the morning going over choreography to make sure the performance goes perfect and the only break they had was a five minute water break in between. They were given the rest of the day off so that they could rest up for the concert the next day. The members of his group were more excited than they were tired and decided to tour the town before they had to leave. He had passed when they asked him to come along and slowly dragged himself to his room. He was probably more tired than everyone else because he spent his nights learning the script for his up and coming drama. Walking into the small living room he let out a long sigh and ran a hand through his hair. He was tired and frustrated. He was upset, tired and frustrated. The list would be too long if he began to state the reasons why he felt like this but he just wanted find his glimmer of light that illuminated the dark gloomy world around him. Shaking his head he ran a hand through his hair again and made a fist with the other and hit the wall with all the frustration his felt. His knuckles had a dull ache but he didn’t notice, but he did notice the other person in the room when he spoke.
“Kame?” He turned around in shock to face his room mate staring at him with worried eyes.
“Jin.”
“Are you ok?” he asked softly, looking at him then let his eyes lowered to look at his knuckles then back at him. Getting over his shock he looked away from the others gaze and nodded.
“Hai.” He said shortly and there was a brief moment of silence before he asked. “I thought you were going out with the others.” The older boy shook his head as he stuffed his hands in his pockets and rocked on his feet slightly.
“Nah, I saw you didn’t look too good so I decided to check up on you. Are you mad about something?” Kame closed his eyes and shook his head as he sat on the couch and stifled a yawn stretching out on it.
“No, just tired.”
“Really?” Jin asked as he walked over to the couch and kneeled in front of it so he was at eye level with him. “Cause tired people don’t punch walls.” He stated matter of factly with his arms crossed in front of his chest. Kame stared at him for a minute before answering.
“I’m fine Jin.”
“No you’re not because you punched the wall!” He shouted.
“Jin…” He said in a warning tone as he held his temple feeling a migraine coming on. Said boy looked at him then stared at the floor mumbling a quiet apology. A few seconds passed in silence.
“Are you happy?” Kame turned to look at him and sighed again as he gave his answer.
“I’m just tired Jin.” With that said he turned over having his back facing the young man on the floor. “If I take a nap I’ll be good to go later, ok?” Jin looked at his friends back with sad eyes and nodded his head.
“Hai.” He said quietly and sat in the same spot looking at the younger one until he heard soft even breathes coming from him signaling he was asleep.
‘I wonder why Kame didn’t tell me what was on his mind. He usually does, unless he just feels overwhelmed again about everything. Yeah, that’s probably it.’ Jin thought to himself as he slowly got up. ‘I wonder what I could do to make him feel better. Kame chan needs to smile more, but what can I do to make him smile? ’He eyed the sleeping boy and suddenly a thought struck him. ‘I know!’ He thought happily and ran to his room in search of his suit case. Finding said object under the bed he dug through it until he found what he was looking for. Smiling to himself he took the objects he needed and walked back to the living room. Taking a seat on the floor right in front of the couch he laid out his items then laid on his stomach looking at his items then Kame and got to work.

The soft sounds of someone humming a familiar tune woke him up. He gave a small yawn and stretched a little, turning over in the process and opened his eyes slowly. When his sleep hazed eyes became clear again he had to rub them and blink again to make sure he still wasn’t dreaming. There lying on the floor with different colored crayons and a few papers surrounding him was Jin. Kame blinked again and watched as the older man had a face of concentration on as he did his work. His tongue was sticking out to the side and his brows furrowed as he continued with his task, of what, Kame did not know. From the angle Jin was lying he couldn’t see what the older one was drawing and wondered if he should venture and ask or pretend to still be asleep. In the end his curiosity won.
“Ano, Jin…what are you doing?”
“Hmm?” The older answered as he turned his head towards him, as his mind was still absorbed in his drawing. But when he finally realized it was Kame who was talking to him he gave off a small ‘eep!’ and covered his drawing with his whole chest and arms trying to hide it. “Kame! You’re up!” He said brightly with a nervous smile. The younger boy nodded and looked at Jin then the crayons on the floor.
“Jin, why are you on the floor coloring with crayons?” he asked getting straight to the point.
“Kame chan~” he said with a pout. “These aren’t crayons, they’re coloring pencils. I’m too big for crayons now.” Kame stared at him as then at the crayons and found out that they were indeed coloring pencils. Kame nodded his head and looked back at the drawing he still couldn’t see.
“So what are you drawing?”
“Oh, you can’t see yet, cause it’s a surprise.” He replied with a bright smile.
“A surprise?”
“Hai! Now go take a bath and by the time you’re done I should be finished.” Kame raised an eyebrow but nodded and slowly headed to the bathroom but stopped when he reached the door. Jin was watching him and when he saw him stop and made a shooing motion with his hand and Kame had to struggle a bit to hide the grin tugging at his lips.

When he stepped back into the living room fifteen minutes later he found Jin in the same position he left him. When the older boy noticed he was back in the room he sat up and motioned him over. Taking a seat back on the couch, he waited for Jin to give him his ‘surprise’. The older boy looked a bit nervous and continued to look at the floor. Kame was about to say something when Jin finally handed him the paper he was hiding earlier.
“Ano…I know I’m not the best drawer in Kat-tun like Koki but I hope you like it.” He said shyly, as Kame took the paper and let his eyes roam over it. Staring back at him was a picture of a turtle with a big goofy smile on his face holding a baseball bat and wearing a baseball hat. Written above it was’No.1 Kame!’ and in the corner written in english was ‘By Jin’. Kame smiled, he couldn’t do anything but smile. “I wanted to make you happy since you were mad so I decided to draw you something. You like it?” he asked hesitantly looking at him from under his bangs. Kame looked up from the drawing and his grip on the paper tightened a bit.
“Hai, I like it.” Jins’ smile seemed to light up the room as he grinned from ear to ear.
“Really?” Kame couldn’t help but to return the smile and nod.
“Hai.”
“Are you happy now?” he got another nod. “Yosh! I made Kame chan happy!” He shouted as he got up and skipped around the room. Kame chuckled and turned back to the picture. Then thought to himself as he watched the other begin to pick up his coloring pencils.
‘Arigato Jin, I think I found my light. ’
