On Music and Love

CHAPTER TWELVE: EASILY BONDED

"We will leave you here so you could get acquainted with each other." Jmee said and stepped aside. "Catherine." She called.

Catherine looked around as if looking for the person her sister called. She still had her hand on Ryutaro's arms.

"Catherine..." her sister called again.

Catherine glared at her sister. "Do we have to?"

Jmee glared back.

Catherine pouted, stomped her feet and followed her sister. She turned around to wave at Ryutaro. "Bye bye."

When the girls were already gone, Ryosuke slumped on the floor to everybody's amazement.

He motioned them to take a seat. "Let's make a big circle," he said. The other boys followed suit. "Ohayou." He greeted when all of them were already seated. "I know that some of you know me and Yuri. Since all you are new here, we will lead but then we still need to choose our leader after wards."

The boys nodded.

"Yosh!" he exclaimed. "Watashiwa Ryosuke desu, 18 years old. I currently have a very beautiful, sexy and wonderful girlfriend who is very..." Ryosuke weren't able to finish his sentence since Yuri elbowed him. Ryosuke grinned at them. "Gomene."

"I thought, you are not allowed to have a girlfriend in the industry?" Ryutaro asked.

"Not in public, of course. You have to keep it a secret and be very careful with it." Ryosuke answered.

"Sou ka."

"I am telling you this because, since we are already a group, we have to do everything for each other's sake and I trust that you would keep this a secret and cover for me if possible."

The others nodded.

Ryosuke smiled at them. He didn't know what came into him but he just blurted that out. He knew that he shouldn't trust strangers but whenever he look at this set of boys, he felt that he could really rely on them.

"Watahiwa Yuri desu." Yuri said. "I am 17 and I know that I am cute and a lot of girls drool on me."

The boys laughed at him.

"Do you have a girl friend?" one of them asked.

Yuri looked at Ryosuke. Ryosuke looked back at him. Yuri looked around; they were all waiting for his answer. Yuri sighed. "Anou..." he started. "Ehh..." he growled in frustration. "We are dating but we are not..." he said looking around. "You know, Machida Kyoumi?"

The boys stared at him. "The Machida Kyoumi? Hontou?" It was Keito who asked.

"Hai." Yuri nodded.

"You're dating?" Keito asked again.

Yuri pouted. "Sort of."

"Hah?"

Yuri put his face in his hands cutely.

"They have a complicated relationship." Ryosuke told the group.

The others nodded in understanding.

The boy beside Yuri patted his shoulder. "Do you like her?" he asked.

Yuri's eyes opened wide.

The others laughed. "Okei, we get it. We get it." The boy said. "Watashi Daiki desu. Keito is my brother. I am here because Okaasan asked me to check on my baby brother."
