Summary: Enter Morimoto Ryutaro.
A/N: OKAY! I think people might be getting confused as to WHY DID YOUR BANNER CHANGE?! Don't worry! :D This story revolves around a mysterious forest with that enormous wall. And yes, YamaJima ain't the only one that encountered that place. SPOILER anyway, because the pairing focused on a chapter change, the banner will change! I'm trying to cover all the JUMP pairings I support. Or maybe I'll put in some special cameo for the other JE pairings I support! All pairings are equally important for the story to go on! But YamaJima is still the main pairing.
oh gosh this is long. On to the chapter!
Enjoy reading this chapter! :D





Morimoto Ryutaro looked up from his desk and tried to comprehend with the current commotion going on in the class. Looking around, he saw that the girls were in their cliques, gossiping while looking at the crowd in front of the classroom. That's where all the guys are apparently crowding around. 'A new kid?' was what went through Ryutaro's mind. But he was sure that there isn't anyone transferring into their class at this point of time. Unless his memories are failing him of course.

That was when he heard his name being called, by none other than his best friend Yamada Ryosuke. "RYU! HELP!" He stood up from his seat, and the noise of the chair being dragged out silenced the class. Looking forward, at the crowd of guys, he clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Oi, Yama-chan come out from that human wall." was all he said, and the guys crowded around Ryosuke backed off.

Ryutaro isn't a delinquent. No, he was far from being a delinquent. Morimoto Ryutaro was known for his good grades, and also being a really good student, thus in the Student Council with Ryosuke. However, everyone knows that no one should disturb him when he's asleep. Ryutaro was never good with mornings or waking up, so he'll be really grumpy, and his patience would be really thin. How thin? Here's an example. A guy from their class accidentally pushed Ryutaro's table while he's asleep, and that woke Ryutaro up. Ryutaro stood up immediately, and threw the guy across the room, what's more is that the guy was at least twice the size of Ryutaro, or even more. Well, that's expected from the karate club's chairman.

"Ryu, thanks." Ryosuke sighed in relief as he took his seat next to Ryutaro's table. Looking at Ryosuke, he wondered what Ryosuke did, that made the whole class start gossiping. As if reading his mind, Ryosuke smiled slightly, "Do you believe that there's another world? Like, an alternative world from ours'. The people would be the same, their personality might be the same too. Do you believe that there is one?"

Ryutaro was now looking at Ryosuke with interest. This person sitting in front of him would talk about monsters and ghosts like a 5 year-old, even though he's already 17. Ryutaro was 15, but in the same grade as Ryosuke because he skipped grades. Yes, he's that smart. This time, the way Ryosuke talked about this was actually different. While explaining, he had that soft smile constantly plastered on his face, his eyes were hazy and looking at the clouds, like he can see something that Ryutaro can't. It was like Ryosuke was reminiscing.

A nostalgic feeling overwhelmed Ryutaro as he listened to Ryosuke. "Ne, Yama-chan. I think I would believe you." With that, Ryutaro pulled out a piece of paper that was folded neatly, and unfolded it to reveal the contents to Ryosuke. Looking at the piece of paper Ryosuke's eyes widened in disbelieve. This letter was clearly written by Ryutaro's boyfriend.


"Ryu, when did you get this? It's his handwritting. I thought he had ..."  Ryosuke's hands started to shiver as tears started to well up in his eyes. "You wouldn't believe it. I got this letter last Monday, when I blacked out during council duty. When I woke up, I was actually wondering in a forest, and I came across a wall. I thought I heard someone singing across the wall, so I threw a note across it. And I got this note as a reply. The next thing I knew was that I was in the infirmary. I thought that the forest thing was a dream, but I found this note in my pocket when I was walking back home. I couldn't believe it. Even if it's a prank, there's no way someone can forge his handwriting."

Fiddling with the tip of the note, Ryutaro folded it neatly again, keeping it in his wallet where it's safe. "A forest and a wall? The wall is ever stretching right? With no ends." Looking at Ryosuke in shock, Ryutaro nodded as Ryosuke described the place like he had been there before.

"Ryu, yesterday after I was knocked down during Physical Exercise, I was at a forest. I don't know what happened, but I was there. I heard someone singing and I wanted to find the source of the voice, so I followed it. I was standing in front of a huge wall, so I threw a note over. And I got this note as a reply." Ryosuke pulled out his note and showed it to Ryutaro. "Do you know who's that person? Anyone you know has this handwriting?" Ryosuke just shook his head in disappointment. "But I did felt a nostalgic feeling overcome me when I received it. It's like I knew who the person is. It's like ... I love the person. Weird huh?"

Both of them just laughed lightly, trying to shrugged their current feeling off. The teacher had stepped into the class anyway. After greeting the teacher, Ryutaro glanced out of the window and stared at the passing clouds. He was thinking of his boyfriend. They weren't the sweetest couple. They didn't show their affections to each other in public. But they were happy. But why did Kami-sama take him away?

He turned his attention to the teacher teaching algebra, but to be truthful, he only has one person in his mind now.

Okamoto Keito.

'Keito, where are you? I miss you.'
