“I can’t believe we’re here” Rio took a deep breath after seeing the clear deep blue sky outside Narita Airport.
Lourdes looked at her friend and smiled at the scene coming before them. Modernised vehicles just clumped together, each waiting for people coming one by one outside the airport’s gate. The two girls just saw unfamiliar faces hugging each other nearly in tears.
“Someone’s gonna pick us up, right?” Rio asked Lourdes calmly then moved her bag unto the pavement.
“Errrrmmm~ I don’t think so…” Lourdes replied then bit her lower lip.
“Ehh?”
“Well, I don’t want Keito-kun to know when we’re arriving. I want to surprise him…” she smiled innocently towards her friend’s direction and bowed her head slightly.
“I think he knows we’re coming… he sent you an invitation after all” Rio sighed and patted Lourdes’ shoulder.
By this, Lourdes pulled an envelope from his jacket’s pocket and opened it. She then smiled softly after seeing Keito’s hand writing perfectly written on a piece of paper.
“We’ll be having our next concert on January… I was kinda hoping you can come. I miss London already” The note said with a picture of Keito and Yamada attached to it. “P.S. Yama-chan wants Rio-chan to come too…”
-
“So… what’s the plan?” Rio disrupted Lourdes’ chain of thoughts which made her shake her head trying to gain usual senses.
“Ahh~~ ermmm… Maybe we can get a taxi to get to our hotel”
“Do we still have enough time? The concert will start in less than 2 hours though… I can’t wait to see Yama-chan…” Rio said then aimlessly looked at the sky once again; as if fantasizing every corner of Ryosuke’s face.
Lourdes just smiled at this scene and halted a yellow coloured taxi. She then pinched her best friend’s cheek and then pulled Rio closer to the waiting vehicle.
“Stop day dreaming, will you?”
--
After a fruitful argument, Rio and Lourdes arrived at Tokyo Dome without going to their hotel. Their bags just became a hindrance to them when it came to the point where all the fan girls gathered outside the dome just went rushing in as if starting a great stampede.
“Ouch!!!” Lourdes screamed painfully after feeling someone just stepped on her foot.
She then held Rio’s hand not wanting to be separated from her. Rio on the other hand just constantly received continuous push and someone even elbowed her from behind.
Suddenly, Lourdes felt a similar approach from another girl desperately wanting to go inside the dome first. Within a flash, she felt scorching pain from her upper lip which made her pull Rio’s hand tighter.
“Lourdes!!!” Rio faced her friend with a panicked expression… “You’re bleeding!!!”
Lourdes then touched her lip and saw a red liquid resting on her skin.
“I’m okay… keep going or our seats will be taken”
“NO!!!” Rio protested and pulled her friend on the nearest chair inside the hallow dome dodging all the people on her way… “We need to put something to that”
Rio looked around the place and saw a couple of hidden doors towards the inner part of the dome. The dome’s entrance seems to be more quiet now since all the fan girls already made their way to their respective seats probably screaming their hearts out just to see their idols.
“We need to find a room with first aid or something…” Rio pulled Lourdes a bit closer who’s still feeling the pain from the previous violent approach from the fan girls. Seeing this, Rio just opened the door nearest to her… “This room should be fine…”
However, before even turning the door’s knob, 2 massive men grabbed Rio’s hand and prevented her to go any further.
“Sorry… you can’t enter that room” one of the men said quite forcefully. The unfamiliar man then pulled Rio and Lourdes heavily from the previous door.
“Let us go! That hurts!” Rio shouted… “My friend here is hurt… I need to put something on her cut”
Having a cut on her lip, Lourdes still struggled to speak but managed to pull her hand back from the man who was taking it.
--
“What are you doing? Let them go!”
Suddenly, a deep yet clear voice came out of nowhere that made the two men frozen from where they’re standing.
“Is that what you do to girls?” another voice protected the two girls.
Within a flash, Lourdes saw Keito eyeing the man who’s holding her. Keito then pulled her hand and gestured something to the two masculine figures.
“Keito-kun?” Lourdes softly uttered.
“I can’t believe you’re here already…” he smiled at her. For a second there, Lourdes had forgotten she was still in pain from her cut.
“What happened to your lip?” Keito said then pulled a concerned face.
“That’s because of the fan girls pushing through us…” Rio tried to explain while gently rubbing her hurt hand from the tight hold of the man earlier.
“We should put something on your wounds too…” Yamada then cut in the conversation pointing at Rio’s elbow.
“Ehh?? Where did this come from?” Rio looked at her elbow and saw a small cut on her skin.
“You didn’t even notice you’re hurt?” Yamada sighed and led the two girls inside their dressing room.
--
“Where did you guys go? We’re starting in about 30 minutes…” Yabu said frantically after seeing the two boys’ smiling faces. He then turned his head slightly and saw the two girls shyly hiding behind Keito and Yamada.
“Ahh… souka~ you went girl hunting before the concert ne?” he grinned then continued lacing his shoes.
“Where are the others?” Keito asked.
“They went back stage already… you can introduce your girlfriends to the other members later…”
--
“You guys go ahead… just give me a first aid kit and we’ll be sorted.” Rio smiled then guided Lourdes to the nearest chair.
Yamada then pulled a red kit on the biggest drawer and handed it to Rio.
After that, Keito gave Rio and Lourdes V.I.P. passes each and instructed them to show it to anyone who tries to stop them from going around.
“Just show this pass to one of the staff and they’ll lead you inside the dome, on the V.I.P. seats… we’ll see you later ne?” Keito smiled innocently then run towards the small door which labelled “Back Stage” on its surface.
--
*3 hours later*
"I need to go..." Keito said enthusiastically while rapidly changing off his concert costume.
He grabbed his bag and quickly looked at the mirror to see his own complexion.
"Why are you in a hurry?" Yuto asked which made the other members listen attentively to his answer.
Suddenly, Yabu cut in and explained for Keito...
"ahhh... It's about the two girls earlier ne?"
"two girls? Woahhh... I wanna meet them" Chinen jumped from where he was sitting as soon as he heard the word "girls" and immediately ran towards Keito.
"Yabai!! I forgot... Rio!!!" Yamada almost shouted and earned a slight nod from Keito.
"We're coming... I wanna see what type of girl Keito likes" Inoo grinned and changed his shoes ready to tease Keito even more.
Within a flash, Keito just saw all of the Jump members gathering around him, as if ready to go into battle.
"no guys... You can't come!!!"
Yet, before actually finishing his protest, he was forcefully pushed into the door then Hikaru and Takaki even carried him.
--
"That was amazing... And and and... Yama-chan!!!" Rio squealed in happiness while holding a Ryosuke uchiwa on her left hand.
"No no~ Keito-kun is waaaay cooler than Yama-chan" Lourdes replied and started the argument.
"No way! Did you see Yama-chan dance 'Moonlight'? I practically drooled!!"
"Have you seen Keito-kun play the guitar? That's what you call COOL!!" Lourdes grinned happily and looked at her own uchiwa of Keito.
--
"ehhheeeemmm"
Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard clearing his throat to gain Lourdes' attention.
"I didn't think I was that cool..." Keito cheekily said while scratching the back of his head.
By this remark, Lourdes' eyes were widened and struggled to say anything.
He tried her best to cover up what she just said but she felt a big lump blocking her airway because of embarrassment. She then looked at Rio to ask for help but her friend seems too busy laughing at her.
"I-I ..." she uttered.
However, a set of familiar figures came before her sight.
"woahhh!! keito! Is this your girlfriend? She looks foreign"
Hikaru said then reached out for Lourdes' hand.
Before he knows it, the other eight members clumped together the two girls alternatively giving friendly gestures.
Keito looked at Yamada to ask for some sort of help but his friend is too busy protecting Rio from the annoying approach of the others.
By this, he pulled Lourdes' hand and shouted...
"guys!! Calm down!!!"
"Lourdes and Rio-chan wanted to have a tour around Tokyo since it's their first time going here..." Keito explained.
"ahhh... Souka! Are they the ones you mentioned before? The girls you met in London?" Ryutaro asked.
"ahhh!! I remember now... She's the one you said you were 'missing' the other day?!" Daiki insensitively said making Keito's face crimson red.
Lourdes on the other hand just smiled at the scene after seeing Keito quite embarrassed to the statement.
--
"okay okay~ I understand now. Keito and Yama-chan doesn't want us to go since it's gonna be a double date ne? Ureshi na~" Yuto proclaimed which didn't really help to relieve Keito's blushed face.
Without knowing how to counter his entire friend’s teasing, Keito just immediately pulled Lourdes’ hand and headed towards the exit of the concert venue. He made sure that his hat is tightly on his head with a scarf around his neck to complete his disguise.
“Chotto~ Keito-kun… where are we going? We left Rio and Yama-chan inside…”
“Don’t worry about Rio-chan… I know Yama-chan will keep her company. I just wanted to be with you alone for the moment” Keito replied still holding Lourdes’ hand tightly.
Within a flash, Lourdes felt her face burn up. The touch of the boy she likes is just enough to make everything around her blurry and out of this world. Then, in a flick of a finger, she felt that she is not on planet earth anymore… she’s in Keito’s paradise.
-
“Are you hungry? Let’s eat first!!” Keito suddenly said which interrupted Lourdes’ chain of lovely thoughts… “You made me taste real English food when I was in London… It’s time for you to taste real Japanese food…” he continued then pulled her hand towards a small restaurant near them.
“What do you want to eat?” Keito started off handing the Japanese printed menu on the table.
Lourdes thought for a while before answering. Since she can’t really read Japanese characters yet, she felt her own eye-brows crossing which indicated a troubled face.
“Ahhh!!” she jumped up and thought of a good idea… “Keito-kun… you’re treating me, right? I still don’t have Yen with me…” she said and then grinned to the man sitting opposite her.
“Sure~ just order anything you want…”
“Okay then…” she looked up to the unfamiliar man beside her who is ready to take their orders… “I want ALL of them please!!!”
“Ehh?? ALL of them??!” Keito questioned in quite a shocked face.
“Yeah~ I might as well take advantage of you treating me…”
“You’re a GLUTTON!!!”
“Yes! I am…”

Next stop:
Arcade = check
Purikura = check
More eating = check
Takoyaki eating contest = check
-
“Uwahhhh~~ I’m exhausted!!!” Keito moaned and took the nearest chair next to him.
“Where do we go next? It’s still quite early…” Lourdes said enthusiastically and pulled her partner up his chair.
“Wait… you want more?”
“Yeah…”
“Okay then… let’s go to Ueno Park. I think we’ll get some peace and quiet there…” Keito replied then led the way to one of the famous park which he knows not many people will recognise him.
However, this time, their next destination just clicked into Keito’s plan on revealing what he actually feels. He doesn’t really intend to confess on the first day of their meeting in Japan but his feelings just continuously rushed through the surface of his skin.
“I must confess now…” he thought to himself while trying to hold back the tight pressure coming from his chest… “No one got rejected in Ueno Park… this is the best place to tell her.” He continued his thoughts while watching the back of the lady in front of her who seems to be busy taking pictures on her camera on the beautiful scene of cherry blossoms falling on the ground.
-
“Keito-kun… anything wrong?” Lourdes snapped her fingers on Keito’s face to gain to at least half of his attention. Lourdes' sudden gestures touched Keito's face which made his skin take a slight pinkish colour.
“Ahh… hai~ I’m okay…” he replied still struggling to speak… “I- I… need to tell you something”
He then grabbed both Lourdes’ arm and faced her figure on his direction. He then took a deep breath before actually beginning to speak.
“I - I … I like you…”
-
“Can you be my girlfriend?” Keito asked boldly without looking directly to her eyes.
By then… time stopped.
--
*At the hotel*
“So… tell me everything!!! What did you do with Keito-kun today, huh?” Rio started off the teasing after seeing her friend on their own hotel room.
“Nothing… errrrmmm…” Lourdes struggled to answer “Tell me what happened to you and Yama-chan first~” she managed to counter Rio’s teasing.
Within a flash, she saw her blushing friend avoiding eye-contact like a proper teenager flailing deep inside…
“Don’t look at me like that! You’re changing the topic! What happened with you and Keito-kun?” Rio turned the tables on her and expected to get a decent answer.
By this, Lourdes just remembered the earlier confession Keito just made in that perfect place - Ueno Park. She stayed still for a while trying to reminisce that perfect moment.
Then, she said…
“Rio-chan… I - I… I got a boyfriend…”
