On Music and Love

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: LOVER

Yuri was walking alone in the darkened corridor. The training was rigorous. It was his first time to attend such training and practice. He had been in the industry for a long time but he haven't undergo such strain.

He stopped in front of their door. The rest were already gone. He on the other hand had just talked to his manager about his schedule before the debut, most of his previous schedules had been cancelled to accommodate the necessary preparation.

He went directly in the bathroom and stepped out of his clothes. The water from the shower relaxed his aching muscles to his appreciation. He had his eyes closed and let the water drip.

That was when he heard footsteps entering the shower. He snapped into attention. He thought all of the other members were gone. His heart drummed inside his chest as his breath stopped. The footsteps stopped infront of him. He opened his eyes.

"Ahhh!"

Yuri's eyes opened wide in shock.

A girl had her back on him. Her hands were on her face. Yuri looked around and immediately turned off the shower and grabbed a towel to cover himself.

He was blushing in embarrassment.

"Anou. Who are you? What are you doing here?" he asked.

The girl slowly turned around and peeked to make sure that he was not naked anymore.

"Kyoumi?"

"Anou, the shower in my training room is currently broken. I can only use yours because it was usually open around this time." She explained.

"Hah? It's already so late." He commented.

"I waited until everybody was gone. I just couldn't let you know that I am using your shower, can I?" she asked, full of embarrassment.

Yuri nodded. A smile formed on the side of his mouth. "How much did you see?"

Kyoumi's eyes grew wide open at the question. "I didn't see anything." She said shaking her head and waving her hands to him.

"Ah." Yuri nodded. "Then, why are you blushing?" he asked.

Kyoumi glared at him. "Oh, shut up and just go." She commanded.

"Eh?" Yuri exclaimed. "This is my shower room. As you can see I haven't finish my shower yet."

"Oh, come on Yuri, please it's getting late."

Yuri shook his head. "Don't wanna."

"Yuri!" she exclaimed in frustration.

Yuri shortened their distance making Kyoumi backed away and finding herself pinned on the wall.

"Unless you wanna share with me," Yuri proposed.

Kyoumi could now clearly see his creamy white naked torso and smell his scent. It was very Yuri. "Why would I do that?" she asked sarcastically though she was not sure if it had some effect on him.

"If you don't realize Kyoumi-chan, you are not addressing me with any honorific."

"So?"

Yuri moved his face near her and smiled seductively. "Meaning, you are really close to me and yet you are not my family."

Kyoumi chuckled trying to hide her nervousness. "Meaning?"

"Meaning, it is either we are dating or you're a lover." Yuri opened his lips and looked at her eyes.
