Odd sensation, the tattoo gun. On the internet, they said the forearm wasn’t bad. One of the least painful spots, which is why I try to suppress my wince as the needle buzzes over my skin. 

“It’s more painful when you’re tired or dehydrated, by the way,” says Kwan, the artist, her chewing gum smacking in her mouth over the sound of thrash metal. 

“Right, right. I guess I’m always dehydrated a bit.”

“He never drinks water,” Jonas pipes up from the sofa. “I remind him of it all the time, but he won’t.”

“Everything wrong with my life probably comes back to that,” I grin at Kwan, and the corner of her mouth ticks up. 

“You’re cute,” she says. “Pretty little face. How old are you guys?”

“Twenty,” Jonas says. “At least me. Jude is still nineteen.”

“Wow. Little babies,” Kwan wipes pooling black ink with a tissue, revealing a thin curved line along my forearm. Weird, I think, looking at it. That’s there forever now. Every day until I’m dead, I’ll look down and there’ll be something on my arm. 

“And what brings you to Phuket?” 

“Well, to be honest, Kwan, we came here just for you,” I say. Her eyes flick to my face, and she sighs with resignation. “You’re good, you know that? You’re going to go far. Going to break some hearts.” 

“We’re backpacking,” Jonas clarifies. “Bangkok for a week, Phuket for another, then we’re going to the Phi Phi Islands and Koh Samui. Jude is acting on complete impulse with this tattoo. I think he is probably trying to flirt so that you like him.”

“And the mango,” she says, now delicately inking the leaves. “Is it personally significant?”

“No, I just liked it. Your art is nice. Never thought I’d get a tattoo because I thought they were all, you know, big thick lines and shit, but yours…”

“Thank you.”

“And like, I guess the mangoes here taste really good, so I could say it’s a memento of my time in Thailand.”

Kwan exhales a laugh. “And not too much between your ears, I see, which is good. Otherwise I think you would doom womankind.”

I grin. “God, Kwan, I love when women insult me. It’s my bread and butter.”

The tattoo gun hits a nervy patch of skin near my inner elbow and I hiss through my teeth. “Ah!”

“Too much?” 

Then I laugh. “Yes. No. Maybe it depends, doesn’t it? I hope this is worth it.”

Later, strolling the beach, I take a photograph of my arm wrapped in plastic and send it to my mother. 

Look what I did.  Why would you do that to your body???? 

She gets back. 

Is that permanent??? 

I cackle. 

“What are you laughing at? Did you send that to Astrid?”

“No, to my mom. She doesn’t approve.”

“Oh,” Jonas frowns, as though this is of deep concern. “Doesn’t her reaction disappoint you?”

“No, I knew she’d hate it, and now she’s going to show my dad and he’ll hate it even more. It was the same when I pierced my ears on holidays. He doesn’t think men should do things like that, and whatever.”

“And you like that he is outraged?”

“Yeah, it’s funny. He hates everything I do regardless, so like, might as well lean the whole way in, you know?”

“You should send the picture to your dad.”

“Nah, I don’t really… I don’t, like, text him… or anything like that.”

“Never?”

“Nah. He wouldn’t respond, anyway. It’s better to get a reaction from my mom.”

He hesitates, getting ready to attempt some conversation, no doubt, that I haven’t much interest in having. I feel my defences rise before he opens his mouth. A blanket of emotional exhaustion settling over me. “You haven’t spoken too much about your father before,” he says. “I assumed you are not close, but—” 

“Please,” I say. “Let’s not.”

“But I am just thinking about how—”

“Jonas, it really doesn’t have to be like this. It’s really not a fun conversation to have.”

“Right. It’s just that you’ve even had dinner with my stepfather when he came to visit, and you know all about my father and my half brother and–”

“Yeah, I know. Max was a nice man. It was a nice dinner, but just because you’ve shared stuff with me doesn’t mean I have to share back.”

“But don’t you think since we’ve known each other for months now, and we are friends, that you should tell me something about your family?”

“You telling me personal things doesn’t make you entitled to know things about me.”

“Yes, but just some basic facts. What is your father’s name?” 

“Chris.”

“Christian?”

“Topher. Christopher.”

“And he is American.”

“Yes.”

Jonas leaves space for me to elaborate, and I scoff, crossing my arms over my chest. How old I do feel when people ask me about my dad? Twelve, every single time. Twelve, and destroying his stupid rare collector’s book purely for attention. He lost his mind and whacked my face with the back of his hand. Wedding ring rapped across a cheekbone. Was exhilarating to see him display an emotion. I remember laughing on the floor with hysterical glee among the shredded pages. A vindictive little winner. 

“He was born in California. He has four brothers. He studied dental medicine at the University of New Mexico, then he got my mom pregnant and married her.”

Another pause. “I see it was difficult for you to say that.”

“It was fine.”

“He was in university when you were born?”

“Yeah. He was twenty-one.”

“And your mother?”

“Nineteen.” 

“Your age.”

“Yes, my age. Terrible for her, I suppose. I don’t know. She’s fine. They’re both fine.”

He nods. “So you are determined to remain a mystery.”

“I’m determined to enjoy my trip, to be honest.”

“Well, thank you for sharing facts about your father.”

My arm is already sweating under the layers of plastic, beaten by the sun. Kwan said I shouldn’t expose the tattoo to sunlight. Then why did I get this thing? On holidays by the beach, about to spend another two weeks island hopping, and how hot is it? Thirty-seven? Forty? Sometimes my own reasonings are mysterious to me. 

“Let’s do something else,” I say, agitated by myself and everything around me. “What’s next?”

“You just got a tattoo, and now you are already looking for more excitement?”

“Yes, come on, I’m bored.”

“Okay, okay, let’s think of something.”

The Circumstances Leading to Zayn’s Departure

On March 25, it was announced that Zayn Malik would be leaving One Direction (hereafter referred to as 1D) because he wanted to live as a "normal 22-year-old."

After successfully completing their Japan tour from late February to early March, the five members returned to the UK for a short break to refresh themselves. Then, on March 11, they kicked off their Southeast Asia tour in Singapore. However, an incident occurred in Phuket, Thailand.

While on vacation in Phuket, Zayn was photographed holding hands and appearing close with a blonde woman who was clearly not his fiancée, Perrie Edwards (of Little Mix). Just prior to this, Perrie had posted a selfie on Instagram without her engagement ring, leading fans to speculate whether the two had broken up and whether Zayn had been unfaithful. The controversy spread rapidly among fans.

Zayn responded on Twitter, apologizing for the misunderstanding and stating that he loved Perrie: "I’m 22 years old... I love a girl named Perrie Edwards. There are a lot of jealous people in the world. I’m sorry if it looked like something else."

(Incidentally, the woman with Zayn was Lauren Richardson, a regular person from Essex, UK, who happened to be on vacation in Thailand. She met Zayn there, took a two-shot photo with him, and posted it on Instagram. However, after 1D fans found her account, she quickly set it to private.)

Shortly after the scandal, on March 19, Zayn suddenly left the Southeast Asia tour midway and returned to the UK alone. A spokesperson stated: "Zayn is leaving the tour due to stress and is returning to the UK to rest."

The remaining four members continued the planned performances in Manila and Jakarta as scheduled. However, on March 25, while fans and likely even the 1D members were still processing the situation, Zayn’s departure was officially announced.

Below are the official statements from Zayn, the remaining four members, and their mentor, Simon Cowell.

Official Statements

One Direction: "Zayn will always be one of us."

"After five incredible years as One Direction, Zayn Malik has decided to leave the group. Niall, Harry, Liam, and Louis will continue as a four-piece and are looking forward to recording their fifth album, set for release later this year, and continuing their world tour."

Zayn’s Statement: *"My time with One Direction has been more than I could have ever imagined. But after five years, I feel it is the right time for me to leave the group. I’m sorry if I’ve disappointed fans, but I need to do what feels right for me. I want to be a normal 22-year-old who can relax and have some private time out of the spotlight.

Louis, Liam, Harry, and Niall will always be my lifelong friends. I know they will continue to be the best band in the world."*

One Direction’s Statement: *"We are deeply saddened by Zayn’s departure, but we fully respect his decision and send him all our love for the future. The past five years have been truly amazing—we’ve been through so much together, and we will always remain close friends.

We will continue as a four-member group and are excited about recording our new album and meeting our fans on the next stage of the world tour."*

Simon Cowell’s Statement: *"I’d like to thank Zayn for everything he has done as part of One Direction. Since I first met him in 2010, I have grown to love and admire him, and I am so proud of how much he has grown in confidence.

Although I am truly sad to see him go, I want to assure fans that One Direction’s future is still incredibly exciting, as Niall, Liam, Harry, and Louis are committed to moving forward."*

One Direction Japan Tour

February 24 – March 2 ON THE ROAD AGAIN TOUR 2015

Directioners’ Passionate Thoughts

Tokyo (Manami): I went to the first day of One Direction’s (1D) On the Road Again Tour 2015 (OTRA Tour) in Tokyo!! I had been waiting for this for nine months, and it was absolutely worth it. Seeing 1D live for the first time was an emotional rollercoaster! Harry Styles speaking Japanese ("Minna Kawaii♡"), Louis Tomlinson’s smile, Niall Horan’s guitar, Liam Payne’s energetic talk, and Zayn Malik’s stunning high notes!!!! Even though my seat was far away, I was just so happy to be in the same place as the boys, breathing the same air, and singing the same songs together.♡ I’m so glad I love 1D. Thank you for coming to Japan. I LOVE ONE DIRECTION!

Shiga Prefecture (Misaki): I went to the OTRA Tour in Kyocera Dome Osaka! It was absolutely amazing! Harry’s "Toilet de Codesca?" was so funny! I will never forget this concert. The surprise was a success, too!

Chiba Prefecture (Yurika): I went to the OTRA Tour! Just hearing their voices on CD makes me cry, but hearing them live almost made me feel like I was going to die (lol)! I was so happy to hear Harry speaking so much Japanese!

Gifu Prefecture (Ayami): The opening song was “Clouds,” my favorite track from FOUR! The excitement of knowing the concert was about to begin and the happiness of finally meeting the boys filled my heart. I’ll be living off this happiness for months.

Ishikawa Prefecture (Chiharu): This was my first concert ever!!! I was so moved! I love 1D♡ LOVE♡ LOVE♡ LOVE♡

Gifu Prefecture (Haruka): I attended the concert on February 24th. It was my first-ever live show, and since it was for my favorite band, I completely lost myself in the moment! Niall wore the Japanese national soccer team uniform during the encore, which was so awesome♪

Osaka Prefecture (Ayuka): I went to the OTRA Tour on the 24th and 25th!! It was truly, truly, truly the best. I couldn’t believe I got to hear "Ōkini" live! 1D, I love you, Ōkini!!!!

Kanagawa Prefecture (Misora): I had VIP seats, so I was super close to the boys♡ They were so cool that I cried the whole time (lol). Their singing was amazing!! I felt like I wanted to go to every single performance… but even that wouldn’t be enough (lol). I was thrilled to hear Harry’s Japanese tweets and the Japanese he spoke during the concert. Someday, I want to see them from the front row! The boys have fulfilled their dreams and come this far, so I will work hard to achieve mine too! (^^)

Shiga Prefecture (Shinka): Last time they came to Japan, I couldn’t get a ticket, so this time felt like a dream (and 5SOS was the opening act, too!!). The moment I saw 1D, I burst into tears… Just the thought of being in the same space as them made me so happy, and I kept crying over and over again…!! This concert reaffirmed my dedication to supporting them forever. I LOVE 1D ♥

Aichi Prefecture (Yuka): Zayn, who hadn’t been feeling well in Australia, recovered in Japan and gave his best performance. It was truly the best time of my life!! Thank you!!

Chiba Prefecture (Mamenbo): I attended a 1D concert! Ever since it was announced that 5 Seconds of Summer (5SOS) would be the opening act, I had been so excited! Having two globally popular bands perform together made me incredibly happy!

Kumamoto Prefecture (Miariko): I attended the OTRA Tour on March 1st. Seeing the boys with my own eyes, after only ever seeing them on TV or in books, made me cry uncontrollably. The concert was so much fun, and at the end, I cried again thinking about when I’d be able to see them next… Now, my new goal is to attend a concert in England!!!

Shizuoka Prefecture (Akiko): I love all five of them so much. The final show on March 2nd was absolutely incredible.♡ Thank you for coming to Japan!!! I hope you all continue to be the cool and adorable group that you are.♡

Gifu Prefecture (Yukari): I attended the concert for three days. I was thrilled when they performed "Happily" in Osaka on the first day♡ It’s the song that makes me happiest. On March 1st, I got to see the members’ faces up close next to the sub-stage without looking through a screen! I was beyond happy to see my favorite boys♡ When they waved at me and blew kisses, I screamed like crazy. Thank you, Harry, Niall, Liam, Louis, and Zayn, for these wonderful memories!♡

Osaka Prefecture (Haruka): The OTRA Tour, my first-ever live concert, has ended… I still can’t believe they’re no longer in Japan… But their performance was beyond incredible!! I’m looking forward to their next show in Japan, especially in Osaka! Thank you, boys!

Yamagata Prefecture (Mayoru): The OTRA Tour was the best. It was my first live concert and my first VIP experience.♡ Thank you for coming to Japan for 10 days, for speaking so much Japanese, tweeting, and making every moment of the six-day tour unforgettable…♡ I’ve been waiting since you said, "Let’s meet again." I’m already looking forward to it.♡

Gunma Prefecture (Yukino): Seeing them in real life, after only ever watching them on screens, made me love them even more.♡ I can’t wait for them to come to Japan again!!!
