The day before keito’s birthday,
But they seems like do not noticed it. Or they do not care about it.
Yes, THEY. JUMP’s members. Or to be specific, Hey Say 7 members.
Last year, all members brought a birthday cake and sing ‘happy birthday to you’ song together. Its their habit.
But seems like this year, they wont have it for KEITO.
It still okay though, but being scolded is just too much right?
Especially if its your loved one.
“hey, keito! How many times I have to said it?! Dance with all your body! You are too stiff! Aarrgghh!” Yamada hit the stop button on the tape furiously, yelled at keito.
He was nearly cried. never once on these years they have been together, Yamada yelled at him, looking very upset and dissapointed.
“look keito, I don’t want you to crush our concert later. We have practiced hard. I don’t wanna CARE either” yuto mocked, leaning on the mirror facing the boy.
That’s so straight-forward of Yuto. He is right. 4 of them have practiced hard, and of course they don’t want to failed just because of him.
“I am tired of just watching you dance, and you failed everytime” chinen rolled his eyes, slammed the table.
Keito was just silent, looked down to the floor. His chest hurt, holding back the tears.
“Keito, I don’t care if you are Kenichi-san’s son or what, but you mean nothing if you don’t have any skill. Even 5 year old kids can dance better than what you did” Ryutaro said loudly and his voice echoed in the dance room.
That stabbed him. how could a Ryutaro said something like that cruel?
“keito, concert is just a few weeks to go. Make sure you have remembered all the moves, and I hope you wont dance like robot anymore!” yamada said as he ejected the disc out and threw to the floor near keito’s foot. Keito just nodded and picked the disc up.
“I am sorry…” he said, almost whispered. Not daring to answer yamada back or looked at him.
“I don’t need a sorry! I need a perfect dance! And I don’t need a crybaby here!” Yamada said as he yanked his bag, went out of the room with the others.
Leaving keito alone.
Finally, he sobbed. His tears dripped on the disc.
What have he done?
Are they already tired of him?
Hey say 7 members always taught him EVERYTHING patiently, went out together in weekends, chatted and laughed with them everyday.
Now what?
Seems like they have tired of the crybaby keito.
He thought there’s people who will give him attention after his parents being busy all the time.
He was wrong, heh?
Keito wiped his tears, stood up as picked the disc together and shoved it to his bag, walked out.
~-~-~-~-~
The next day, keito already dancing by himself at the dance room.
Even though his head is aching, caused by his lack of sleep the day before. He want to prove the other members that he can do whatever he want, then apologized for being spoiled and all.
“nice afford” keito stopped when he realized yamada stood at the door, smirking to him.
“ohayo gonzaimassu…” he bowed.
“lets try if you can follow us or not” yamada slammed his bag on the table, cut his words.
The other members who just came in, quickly put their bags on the table and moved to their position after seeing yamada inserted a disc to the tape.
Your Seed played, they started to dance.
What surprised the others is, keito already remembered all the moves and his dance seems to be powerful.
The dance continue smoothly, and even a keito can follow the fast-paced music without a slight wrong move.
Just one last backflip, and keito succeeded.
He flipped.
Unfortunately, his head ached again and his concentrate lost.
His hands went weak and failed to support his body.
A loud bam!
His breath hitched, feeling all his body hit the floor hard, slowly went numb. His head ached more and his vision blur.
All he could heard was the others called his name, then blackout.
~-~-~-~-~
A scent of citrus engulfed him. he slowly opened his eyes.
Where am I? why did I was here in the first place?
Oh, I was dancing and I failed to do a backflip then I failed. Nice.
Anyway, is this jacket…
The door’s room widely open. Yamada Ryosuke’s hand still holding the knob, he looked down.
Yamada walked to futon where keito sleep. He knelt there.
“Keito…” yamada said as he touched the boy’s forehead, checked if it has been better or not.
“hmm?” keito weakly answered
“why didn’t you said you have a fever?! If you said it earlier, we can cancel the practice and rest yourself…” yamada looked down, surely blaming himself “and stupid me too… for not realized that you have fever…” he chuckled.
“Gomen ne…” Yamada bowed.
“well, I should said that too… I think you guys have been tired of me, so I practiced hard to prove you then apologized. Haha~” keito laughed.
“you forgive me…? For saying those mean and cruel things to you…? no, you should hate me keito, for ruining your birthday…”
“well, I don’t really understand what made you guys acted like that to me… but whatever, I will still love you guys even you hated me or tired of me~” keito smiled.
Yamada was shocked, but he chuckled and laughed too.
“Happy Birthday Keito… We love you too”.
HEPI BASUDAY KEITOOOO :D
