yume # 1 chapter 4

part 4: {3rd day in Tokyo ~ love cuts both ways}

After 2 days i felt a bit better.  Sho came in either in the mornings or in the evening when he had free time but he was never alone. He had one of the others with him.  Mostly Aiba or Nino.  Sometimes Jun came alone or with Ohno.  Its really weird to be visited by ARASHI.  I didn't tell minna since Sho asked me not to.  For their privacy, as he said it was.  Nino always brought new video games and he taught me how to to that drift thing.  sometimes i would ask Ohno-niichan to bring his big sketch pad and I'd draw him or at least try to...and he tells me in halting English how to make the picture better. 

But one day Jun shows up and asks if i could walk.  I said I could.  He takes me out of the room and leads me to the garden on the 5th floor of the hospital.  When we got there, he handed me a folded piece of paper that looked like a letter.  I think he wrote it...it has nice but squiggly handwriting.  I read it walking over to the bench near the flower bed.

(Dear Jamie-chan,

    Since the first day I saw you here in the hospital bed.  I felt something already.  I wasn't sure at first but whenever you smile.  I am happy.  Would you go out with me?

Jun )

I was speechless.  And i have always seen him as someone who is very alike with my ex-kareshi, joseph.  He sat down beside me, i was still staring at the letter.  the sun had almost set.  I was pretty romantic to look at.  Then it happened, he put his left hand on my chin and gently pulled my head up.  I knew he was leaning in to kiss me but i looked away.  He was saying something in japanese i couldn't understand what i was since he was talking so fast.  I started to cry.  He stopped talking and pulled me to him.  I just stayed there and cried, "gomenasai jun-kun"

The next day Jun came with gifts dunno what for and why but he started giving me stuff.  I went like, "what is all this?!" He looked at me not understanding so i asked again, "nande kore?!"

"Suki dai yo, " he smiles.  Its that smile that turned into a Jun-bait. gah! is keeling over inside...

"arigatou, demo tomadachi desu."

"betsu ni." he then handed me something in a box. OMG. this is so like HANADAN its scary!, i thought.   He stood beside the bed and opened the box.  It was a silver necklace.  Now its really scary!! I"m not Makino deshou!!
