Episode Eleven: Tokyo Tower

CHAPTER 11

Back at the villa, Otani, Tendo, and Shinzo were knocked out in their room. They were pretty much exhausted after searching for Rose and Haruto but decided to leave it in God's hand. Meanwhile, Ryoto awoke with a slight memory loss. He was surrounded by his band-mates who were worried about him; he was in the villa's medical center. Heading back over to the cabin, Haruto and Rose were sitting quietly in an awkward atmosphere. Until a bird flew into the window, "Ah!" freaking them out.

"That old bird!" Rose frowned.

"Scared our wits off!" Haruto joked as she laughed.

Not realizing they had held onto each other.

"Yeah, it did!" Rose added.

The thunder rolled heavily. The flashes of lightning illuminated the gloomy sky as they grabbed each other closer.

Before looking into each other eyes, they finally realized, they were close than they expected.

"Do we let go? Or...." Rose said but stopped, he placed her head on his chest.

"No, let's stay like this until morning," Haruto suggested.

Rose blushed, "Okay."

Haruto smiled, "Thanks."

Rose hummed, "Yeah."

Soon the rain began to get lighter as they fell asleep. Hours later, morning came Rose woke up first a bit surprised to see Haruto's face looking at her. Suddenly, he yawned as she shut her eyes closed and pretended to be asleep. Haruto finally awakened to realize Rose was asleep in his arms.

He blushed and smiled, "How beautiful" as the sunlight kissed her skin and made her into a caramel golden color like a see-through glass-like honey tone. "When she's asleep like this she looks like an angel glowing in the light. All she needs is her wings to fly high," he muttered.

Haruto laughed lightly, Rose smiled inwardly and thought, 'He has a funny imagination.' But then he was about to kiss her, Rose squinted her eyes opened and flashed it wide; blinking in silence as he looked surprised.

"Haruto, what are you doing?" She asked.

He pulled back but then paused in thought, 'She still has Ryoto's taste on her lips. I should wipe it off.' He answered, "I'm changing your taste," and then he kissed her before pulling back.

"Um, why did you...." he cut her off and kissed her again as she kissed him back.

Haruto felt her soft lips and her inviting kiss was different than the first. It was friendly and passionate to some extent after she pushed him away and sat beside him.

'Did I just kiss him back?' Rose thought quietly.

'She kissed me back? This means something,' Haruto thought before looking at each other.

"Let's not mention this in front of the other guys," Rose said.

"It will be our secret for now," Haruto replied.

"No, forever," Rose answered.

Haruto knew she was upset by his actions and sighed, "Let's go, the second round is going to start."

"Okay," Rose replied as she got up.

He did the same and then they left the cabin without realizing there was a hidden camera in the room broadcasting them live. It seems like they became a new couple over last night's event and the viewers and fans love them.
