Summary: The other four ARASHI had their turns with Mao, now its Jun’s turn.
Jun slowly opened his eyes as Mao was carefully closing the bathroom door. He sat, propping his back with pillows. Lifting the blanket, he saw the marks his Hime left on his chest and grinned, remembering yesterday morning’s conversation with ARASHI, last night’s confession and the following all-night lovemaking.
Chapter 1 - Blue, Red, Green, Yellow Sorry Dates
“Did Mao get the flowers and chocolates I sent her yesterday?” Aiba asked as soon as Jun stepped in the green room. Dropping his bag on the couch, Jun answered “You know she did because she sent you an email saying thank you. Speaking of which, why are you sending my girlfriend flowers and chocolates for?”menacingly advancing towards Aiba with a frown on his face.
“Oi, it was my Sorry Flower/Chocolate Date for Mao, although we didn’t go out on a date. I felt bad because your date did not go ahead as planned and it’s my fault. I got drunk, had you listen to my love woes until late night and pass out on your place. And the good friend and idiot that you are, you stayed with me instead of running off to your girlfriend. I knew Mao was looking forward for that date since you haven’t been out in a long time.” Aiba was out of breath as he finished his explanation.
“Baka! You should have given her Brave the video game that she was eyeing in the magazine the last time she was here. I gave Mao Pokémon Conquest and we played with it at her place for my Sorry Game Date as a peace offering for making Jun late during Hug-Chan’s birthday party.” Nino, the gaming enthusiast that he is, advised what he thought was the best gift for Mao.
“Mao and I had lunch at the newly opened Italian restaurant near her place last week and she loved the food. She said the house specialty was spectacular and the strawberry dessert heavenly. I had Jun postpone their weekend popcorn session so he can help me practice my lines in my new drama.” Sho piped in, recounting his Sorry Lunch Date with Mao.
All the while, Jun was just listening to his friends ramble about their so-called Sorry Dates with his girlfriend. A pattern is beginning to emerge and he is not liking it; not one bit.
“And you Riida, how did your Sorry Date with my Hime went?” Jun asked Ohno who was, surprisingly, attentively listening to Aiba, Nino and Sho.
“I will ask Mao to come fishing with me. I have the weekend off next week. I know she has plans for you guys tonight so I am going to keep Jun here for practice. I will plan the best Sorry Fishing Date ever with Mao.” Ohno answered , beginning to space off in LA-LA-land.
“YOU WILL keep me for practice so YOU can have a Sorry Fishing Date with my girlfriend?” DoS making an appearance.
“EH!” Nino, Aiba and Sho exclaimed simultaneously.
“What?” Ohno asked innocently. “They had their dates with Mao, why can’t I have mine?”
“You…” Jun advancing towards Ohno.
“Hey, I’m just kidding. I already had a Sorry Date with Mao, your Sorry Date. I asked her to dinner on her birthday remember? You were out of the country on a photo shoot and couldn’t be with her so you asked me to be with her on her special day. We had dinner at my boat and you were there with us, remember?”
“Yeah, thank God for Skype.” Jun said.
“Sorry,” Sho, Nino and Aiba said with their heads bowed.
“For what?” Jun asked.
“For keeping you away from Mao,” coming from Nino.
“But you didn’t do it on purpose,“ Jun reasoned for them.
“Still… It’s a good thing that Mao is a very sweet and understanding girlfriend. We keep on ruining your chances to be together. We all know that you plan your schedules accordingly so that you will have more time for each other.” Nino said.
“Yeah. When I had my Sorry Date with Mao and told her that I was sorry for keeping Jun, she looked at me with her big beautiful eyes and said “It’s okay. You’re our friend and we both love you. But I miss my Ouiji.” Sho reminisced with a sigh.
“That’s what she told me too,” Nino said looking at Sho.
The four older members of ARASHI looked at their youngest.
“I will finish today’s rehearsals but I am going to have my one week off starting tomorrow. I will give my Hime my One Week Sorry Date.” Jun said forcefully.
