On Music and Love

CHAPTER FOURTEEN: WHEN HE CAME, THUNDER ROARED

"Yaotome-kun," Hikaru turned around to face Ryosuke and Jie. "I thought you don't have a girlfriend?" Ryosuke asked.

Hikaru stared at the couple. His heart skipped a beat as Jie smiled at him. "Anou, that was just a girl border. She dropped me off since I got sick last night. She is afraid I'll get sick again today and bother her later." He chuckled.

"But you said, you love her..." Ryosuke's voice trailed off.

Hikaru caught his breath. So they heard. He stared at Jie.

She smiled at him.

"Iie, t-that, that was just nothing." Hikaru stammered.

Jie looked intently at him.

Hikaru looked down. Ryosuke didn't seem to have any idea that he had courted Jie. He probably should just keep quiet, if that was what Jie wanted anyway.

They were about to walked to the jimusho when a person approached them. They stared at the man. He was very handsome and masculine. He was wearing a dark glass though they could just imagine that he had nice eyes. his lips were small and kissable. His nose was prominent. He had very fair skin. He wasn't really tall but he had quite a good height.

"Excuse me," he said in English. "Might you have any idea of the whereabouts of Inoo Kei and Yabu Kota. I came to their apartment earlier but the landlady said they were already here."

The three looked at each other.

"They are part of our group." Ryosuke answered in broken English.

The man's head tilted towards them. "Ah, I see. Could you escort me to them?" he asked.

They nodded and led the way.

Ryosuke went inside the dance studio first. "Kei-nii chan, Yabu-nii chan, somebody is looking for you." He announced.

Kei and Kota stood up. "Who?" Kota asked.

Ryosuke just shrugged and pointed at the door. When Kei and Kota went out, Ryosuke brought Jie in front of the boys. "Minna, I want you to meet my girl friend, Jie." He announced.

Jie stared at him.

The boys went towards them. "Omedetou." They greeted the two.

"I know now why Ryosuke-kun is very proud of you. You are really pretty." Yuto commented.

Jie blushed shyly at the compliment. "Arigatou."

"Don't be shy." Yuri said.

She smiled though she was looking down.

Ryosuke put his hands around her shoulder and gave her a quick kiss on the cheeks which the other guys envied.

Hikaru smiled. Ryosuke was obviously in love with Jie. He learned to trust the guy since Jie was the only thing that comes out of the guy's mouth ever since they met each other. He just hoped that they would stay that way because he would surely kill the person who would broke Jie's heart.

It was quite a while when Kei and Kota went in. They looked nervous. There were also a hint of anger in their faces.

They started the training for the day. Hikaru was excused from the dance lessons since he was just sick.

Keito and Daiki arrived early that day. Thanks to Daiki, Mihra allowed Keito to join Hikari's. She couldn't back out of her words when she allowed him to join only and only if Daiki was there, too.
