Disclaimer: The name says it all. Should I spell it out for you? They are JOHNNY's. Clear enough for you? The story is purely fiction. Plot not entirely mine, though. Inspired by a Super Junior fic.
Summary:
It all started... with the thing in the elevator. Forgetting she had a boyfriend back in Korea, she started to become interested with this one guy... Who in return is not interested in girls.
He doesn't know it was Sakura and she just kept it at that. Too late, as it finally dawned on her that she's falling head over heels in love.

Doki doki. Mattaku. It's just a rehearsal and Daiki's getting pretty excited already. A thump on the back made Daiki spun around.
"Ah, Mirai. Where's Sakura?"
"Eh~ not so much as a 'Hi' from you and you already go about searching for her?" Mirai raised an eyebrow at him, trying to suppress an amused grin.
"Ch-chigau! I'm just wondering that-"
"Hai, hai~ Stop flustering, lover boy. She's going to come later during the event. Oh, by the way, is it okay for Sakura to bring her-"
"FRIEND?" Shida interrupted. Mirai looked shocked for a split second and calmed down in another as if she just realized something.
"Uh... yeah. I'll talk to the manager later." After talking to the others for a bit, the girls then went and excused themselves. There's still some time before the performance...
Daiki grinned and flipped open his phone. Yosh~ "Hey, don't be late okay? I'll search for you in the crowd. :P - The Almighty Daiki."
She didn't reply.
Daiki tossed his uneasiness aside; she's just busy.
A buzz. Daiki quickly dashed to grab the ringing phone. Oh, it's just Ayako.
"Where are you?" Oh boy.
"At the rehearsals. Look, it's noisy and I'm kind of busy now. I'll call you later okay?"
"Okay... ganbatte ne? Can I see you after your performance?"
"Hai, hai. I gotta go now, jya."
"Girlfriend Ayako calling?" Hikaru popped up with his goofy grin.
"Wh-what? Why do people always think that way? We're not in a relationship! What gave you guys that idea anyway?"
"Ah so she's just your make-out buddy? Nice, Dai-chan. And nobody would've thought that you're useless with girls until last month." Kei interrupted. The guys roared with laughter. Well he's got a point there. (sasuga kei ne?)
"Y-you guys don't get it! We had chemistry-"
"Ah yes. 'Had'. Being the operative word in that sentence-"
"Mou, Kei! I don't need you to go all nerdy to me!"
"Why thank you, I'll take that as a compliment then~" Kei smirked and winked. The guys roared louder. In the end, Daiki joined in the laughter, you just can't hate these guys.

"She's here, Daiki~" Chinen sang in a sickly voice when Daiki came to backstage. Daiki stuck out his tongue but went out to look for her anyways.
It wasn't really hard to spot her. She just... glows. He thought she was already pretty without any effort yet the way that she's all made up for the night made her look extra... cute.
kuso, when did it get so hot?
"Oi Daichan. If you continue staring at her, she'll melt like metal hit with laser eyes." Ryutaro came from the back and puts an arm on both Daiki and Chinen. Tch. Tall guys and their false sense of superioriy.
"Tch. Tall guys and their false sense of superiority." Chinen said while crossing his arms. Daiki just laughed. Well some things never change. Sometimes he wonder if Chinen really does read minds. "But hamtaro's (YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH ME, PUNK? - Ryu) got a point. If you keep staring her like that, she'll get killed from the fans beside her." (ISN'T THAT WORSE, CHII?)
"Mou~ give me a break, both of you. I'm not gonna get myself bullied by someone who's younger than me."
"Hey, you guys are up soon!"

Doki doki doki doki. The performance itself is making him nervous. Imagine having his eyes glued to Sakura even before he gets to perform. Yeah. Like that.
But he's already secretly swore to himself that he'd do the best performance in front of Sakura. so he better not mess this up.
The cheers rose when everyone went up to the stage. He could feel the excitement hammering as if beside his own beating heart. His mouth stretched to a wide grin.
They locked eyes and Daiki's grin stretched wider. Sakura was waving at him. He waved back careful not to over do it. (who knows what the media would make up with that.)
He listened to the music: to the beat of the hikaru's bass and yuto's drums and to yabu and keito's guitars. His solo line is almost here.
Well he tried to be discreet about it (well he hope it was dicreet) but to be completely honest, it was quite hard to tear away his eyes away from Sakura. When he managed to tear away for a few seconds, his eyes would search again for her.
So when he saw this guy wrap his hands around Sakura's waist and kissed her cheeks, Daiki didn't even notice that he completely forgot to sing his line.

I know nothing about what happened during rehearsals in real life. xD Another short crappy chapter. My motivation to continue this has been running low since late last year. Ahhhhhhhhhhh.
