Sho walks out of the Jimousho building, not even bothering to get into his car. Oblivious of the people around him, he looked too menacing to be bothered or even recognized as an idol anyway. His Mind raced again. Did he really mean what he said? He barely knew Jamie-chan. He thought. She wasn’t even his type. Well….he did like the way her smile crept up to her brown eyes, the way her hair curled softly down her back like a doll’s, the tinkle of her laughter when he made a dorky joke, their small heated debates on things that everyone else considered boring mostly ending up with either of them making a joke about the whole thing. She got along well with others even if she does have a tad of frankness in her and yet she has a lot of playfulness for someone the same age as himself, only being born months apart. She even liked kids, when her nephews came to visit her once. Then it hit him cold in the face as he was about to cross the street with the mob. He pulled the hoodie over his cap and mused, It was true…he felt it inside him, his heart beat faster every time she was near or when she smiled or talked to him. He loved her. He’s in love with her. He was just a block away from the hospital now, he noticed. He ran all the way there, wanting to see her and tell her what he has just found out for himself. He had to tell her now or he’d be damned if he let Jun toy with her feelings, he thought as he raced up to her room. The rapper knocked on Jamie’s hospital room door in a matter of minutes. No answer. He turns the doorknob, and goes into the darkness, closing the door behind him. It was late evening and only the faint glow from the nightlight near the table was there to guide him. The girl lay on her side, her back towards the light. Her curls splayed over the pillow underneath her head as she hugged a big plush teddy bear that Jun had given her the day that he saw them in each other’s arms. He wanted to snatch it away and throw it out the window but clamed himself. Sho sat on the other side of the bed, just behind Jamie. Reaching out to touch her cheek, his heart beat wildly, wanting to hold her in his arms. She stirred in her sleep as he slowly lay beside her. Luckily, she didn’t wake up just yet but turned towards him, letting go of the teddy and hugged him. The young man stifled his laughter as she snuggled into the crook of his neck. She must have thought he was either the stuffed toy or another pillow. Sho smiled contentedly, loving the way her arms went around him. She smelled of sakura blossoms mixed with something sweet, it was like a drug lulling him. He kissed her forehead as he drifted off to sleep.

At the Radio bar in Jingumae Shibuya-ku, the other members of ARASHI huddled over their drinks as Jun explained what he had been up to. Even the master prankster Nino was in awe.
