Compromise

Chapter 12

Ai's POV

After Chinen~kun did the shadow kissing with me, I was so shocked when he leaned his cheek to my cheek. It was my first time to experience a guy leaned his cheek to mine. And it's not an ordinary guy! It's Chinen~kun!!!

"Are you okay, Ai~chan?" a voice asked.

"AI~CHAAAAN!!!"

"H-hai?!" I looked up, startled. It's toochan.

"Are you okay? You're spacing out," he said.

I looked at Chinen~kun and he's smiling at me. Waaaaaah!!! He's too cute!!! Then I remembered that scene again. I think I'm blushing! I held my cheeks.

"And I think you're not ok," toosan said. "Your boss already left. He's really jealous with Chinen," he informed.

I looked at him, wide- eyed. "J-jealous?" I asked.

"Yup," he answered and he laughed.

"Eh?" I'm confused.

"I actually experimented on him and the result is great! Isn't it Yuto, Keito, Chinen?" he asked.

The three nodded with a satisfied smile on their faces.

"Eh? You mean, you planned that?" Yabu~kun asked.

"Yes. I saw Yamachan's face when Ai hugged him on the day we had fight with him. He blushed that time. And didn't you notice? He's gone kind with Ai these past few days. That's why I thought of that experiment," he explained.

"I think Ryosuke~kun is just being kind to me," I said. I don't want to give a meaning to his kindness...

"We'll never know," Daiki~san said.

"But it will be great if he'll continue treating you like that," Yabu~kun said.

"Maa..." I muttered.

Ryosuke~kun ignored me for about three days after that day Toochan had an experiment to him. I felt guilty. Maybe he was just also shocked...

I was afraid... He might get back to the old mean Ryosuke~kun. Fortunately, he's still kind. Maa, not really that kind like the other members but at least he is kind to me now.

I also caught him looking at me often. I feel awkward whenever he's looking at me...

Today, they'll be having a photoshoot in Okinawa. As expected, I'm also going with them. We'll be riding an airplane and this will be my first time.

3am, we're in the airplane already. The manager told me to stay at the back with the other crew. So I did.

I fell asleep. I woke up when I felt warm... I opened my eyes and saw Ryosuke~kun's face up close. I was so shocked that I pushed him. That woke him up.

"What the!" he exclaimed.

"W-why are you here?" I asked.

"Huh?" he asked, his eyes gone wide. "Ah... Ettou... Y-you said that you're cold that's why I hugged you..." he looked down.

"Eh?" I wondered. "I don't recall saying I'm cold..." and one more thing, why is he here? He's seatmate is Ryuu~kun and they are on the very front.

"Tsk! Then freeze to death!" he shouted at me and left.

Eeeeeeeeeh??? I don't understand. He's acting weird these days...

~

The photoshoot will be one whole day that's why we will be staying on a hotel. I am supposed to stay with the other crew but Ryosuke~kun argued with their manager. Saying that I need to be by his side always. The manager surrendered and Ryosuke~kun won.

After a day of photoshoot, it's time for bed already. I'm sitting at the couch. I'm waiting for Ryosuke~kun to finish reading a manga.

I can't sleep until he's awake. He might still have something for me to do.

I'm watching him. He's on the bed. Then he closed the manga and stood up. He got the pillow and the spare blanket. He put them properly on the floor. I guess, there's where I'll be sleeping.

I went toward it but then he lie there.

"R- Ryosuke~kun?" I called, my brows furrowed.

"Hmm?" he looked at me.

"Why are you laying there?" I asked.

"I'll sleep here," he answered.

"Eh? B- but..."

I looked at the bed then I looked at him.

"Will you just sleep already?" he asked.

"B-but..." I muttered. I can't let him sleep on the floor.

"If you're that worried then I'll sleep on the sofa," he said. He stood up and went to the sofa with the pillow.

Suddenly, there's a knock on the door. He went to the door and opened it.

"H-Hikaru~kun?" he wondered.

Toosan went inside, he's bringing a pillow and a blanket.

"I won't let you sleep with my daughter alone that's why I'll also sleep here," he said while putting the blanket and the pillow on the floor. Then he lay. "Yamachan, sleep here with me," he said as he tap the space on his left.

"O-ok..." he said. He got his pillow and lie on the left of toochan.

"Now, let's sleep," toochan said.

I can not do anything anymore since toochan insisted it. I climbed on the bed and slept.

Morning, around 4am, I'm awake already.

I stood up and knelt on the side of Ryosuke~kun. He told me to wake him up by 4am.

"Ryosuke~kun," I called as I tapped his shoulder.

He opened his eyes slowly and looked at me. He suddenly pulled me that's why I fell on his chest. Waaaaaaaaah!!! His chest!!! I-it feels good but this can't be! I was about to stand up but he hugged me.

"Let's sleep some more," he said with his sleepy voice.

"But..."

"No buts," he said then he hugged me tightly.

I couldn't oppose anymore that's why I just obeyed...

"YAMACHAN!!!" it's toochan.

I alertly opened my eyes and stood up.

"Itai!!!" Ryosuke~kun shouted as he held his head. "What was that for?!" he asked.

"Why did Ai sleep on the floor?!" toochan yelled.

"Ah... I- I d-don't remember..." he evaded the eyes of toochan.

"Tss! Next time you'll do that, I will not only hit your head but also every part of your body!" toochan yelled at him.

"H-hai. G-gomen," he said, he lowered her head.

After we had breakfast, we went to the souvenir shops and they bought lots of things.

We're at the airplane now and we'll head back to Tokyo. I'm sitting with Daiki~san. He lend me his tablet.

"D-Daiki~san, can I open the internet?" I asked permission.

"Sure, sure," he said without looking at me. He's busy playing a survival game on his android phone.

"Thanks," I said.

I went to facebook. It's been a long time since the last time I opened my account. I wonder how many notifs I have right now.

When my account loaded, I saw the message icon. There's one message there. I opened it. It's my friend. She wants to meet me. She said she'll say something important to me.

I wonder what that is? But there's a problem... How can I meet her with out Ryosuke~kun knowing? I do want to meet her. I also miss her so much.
