ADDICTED

CHAPTER 7 - PARTY! PARTY!

PARTY! PARTY!

Miharu was alone. The show hadn't started yet so she took some fresh air. She stared at the darkening sky. It was showing a nice cloudless and starry night ahead. She just wanted to stare at it.  

She had enough of Aoi's antics. The girl had been giving them a long litany of what she was planning to do to seduce either Okamoto Keito or Inoo Kei. She had totally let go of Ryosuke and kept on teasing him to Yuki who seemed to be spacing out. 

She noticed that Yuki was not in her usual cheerful self since she came home this morning. She had an envelope with her that she kept on her safety box. The girl had been in her pensive mood all day and Miharu couldn't take it anymore.  

Kyoumi on the other hand had occupied herself with Yuri who seemed totally annoyed of the fact that Kyoumi was with them.  

Miharu was in this thought when she heard a sound of guitar. She looked beside her. Okamoto Keito was seated in one of the metal chairs at the same balcony.  

Miharu stared at him. He was really one naïve guy. Last time she saw him was at Shingaku when they tried to take Kyoumi. He looked so bored then. He didn't even notice the admiring stares that the girls were giving him.  

Miharu couldn't really deny that the guy was totally handsome. He had a quite long stylish black hair, smooth white complexion, small pinkish lips and tantalizing chinky eyes. Among the band members, he had the best body she had seen so far. He was lean, tall and muscular.  

He was also very talented. He would have been perfect, only and only if he didn't look stupid.  

"Don't stare at me like that. I might think you have a huge crush at me," she heard him say. His voice was so soft and smooth that made Miharu stopped breathing.  

She shook her head to clear her mind. When she regained her composure she looked at him and laughed. "So you actually know that I was looking at you? I thought you don't have enough sensitiveness to know that." She mused.  

Keito stopped playing his guitar and looked at her. "I am not interested in you." He said.  

Miharu was taken aback. This guy has the nerve... "I am not interested in you, either." She said. 

Their eyes met and clashed. He then opened his mouth and formed a smile. Miharu felt her heart jump. It was the first time that he saw the guy smile. Unlike his other co-members in the band, this guy was the only one who doesn't smile and yet there he was smiling at her.  

She took a step back and crashed on the railing of the balcony. The impact could have crushed her bones if Keito wasn't quick enough to pull her by her arms. "Next time, be careful," he said before letting her go.  

"Arigatou!" she said and walked away. She then stopped when she remembered something, "One of my friends, Aoi like you so much. Please, go out with her," she told him without caring if he heard her.  

"Will you please let go of my arm," Yuri begged Kyoumi who had been intertwining in him like a snake.  

Kyoumi pouted but let go of him. "I hate you," she said silently. 

"Thank you," Yuri retorted while massaging his arm.  

Miharu joined them. Yuki was still out in space so she just let her be. Aoi was sipping her drinks while giggling at Yuri and Kyoumi.  

"Where have you been?" Aoi asked her.  

"Just took some fresh air," Miharu answered.  

The light in the stage went out.  

"I couldn't believe I was actually here." Yuki commented. She had her chin on her hand while sipping her drink.
