THUNDER 3/5
Yuto and Keito were playing Wii that they brought together while Chinen was reading a magazine on the couch. Except for the game’s sound that came out from the television, the room was so silent. From the time they returned from the café, Yamada locked himself in his room, not bothering about others. It had been two days ever since he was behaving like that. He went out by himself, making excuses to pass their vacation activities. It was supposed to be a group vacation, but it turned out to be something else.
“Yuto, is it okay to leave him like that? It has been almost 36 hours. He is ignoring us,” Chinen said suddenly, his voice breaking the silence.
“I don’t know. He doesn’t even want to talk to me. He keeps saying that he is fine.” Yuto stopped playing and turned towards Chinen, paying attention on him.
“I think we really need to talk to him. By the way, where is Ryutaro? I didn’t see him since right after breakfast.”
“Owh, he told me that he wants to go somewhere else.” Keito butted in the conversation.
Meanwhile, at the BEST side…
“Ryutaro you are late! We have been waiting for you for ages!” shouted Hikaru as soon as he saw Ryutaro push the door open and walk in.
“Gomen! Shin came by to take back his DS. I accidentally put it in my bag. You know, he can’t live a day without his DS.”
“Okay, okay…everyone is here now. So, should we start on discussing now? Daiki will be back in any minute now. We don’t want to get busted do we?” Yabu interrupted the conversation between the youngest member and Hikaru.
“Ahh…before that, how is Yama-chan? Still locking himself in his room?” asked Inoo.
“Don’t ask…worse than that. No talking at all.”
“So what should we do? I can’t think of anything now. My brain completely can’t work this time,” whined Hikaru. The room became quiet. Everybody was thinking deeply about what they were going to do.
“Ahhh! I have an idea!” Takaki’s voice broke the silence and everybody started to make a circle around him. He whispered to them his plan; everybody listened to him very carefuly and nodded every time they agreed with his plan.
“I bet this time the plan is so going to work out! With 7 as helpers I can only smell the scent of victory,” stated Takaki excitedly, without any doubt.
“Ey...you meant me, Ryutaro. It is not the 7 okay…it is me?”
“Yeah, yeah…whatever, you or the 7, it is the same.”
“Hey! There are differences okay!” retorted Ryutaro.
“Hey boys, cut it out already! We just need to make sure this plan runs smoothly okay! It doesn’t matter who helps who as long as this plan works out!” Yabu took his role as a ‘mama’ to stop the fight that was about to begin between the boys. He shook his head; boys were boys…you can never leave a day without a small fight and an argument.
*********************************
Yuto, Chinen and Keito stood in front of Yamada’s door. They were pointing at each other, deciding who should knock the door. Finally, Yuto yielded. He walked towards the door of Yamada’s room and gave a glare to Keito and Chinen who grinned at the back.
“Yama-chan, can we come in?” Yuto knocked the door, asking permission from Yamada to come in.
“The door is not locked.” Yamada said from behind the door.
The three of them took their seat on Yamada’s bed. Manga books were scattered on his bed. Yamada was watching an anime on his mini DVD player. He sure could go nowhere without his manga and mini DVD player. Yuto shook his head slowly, looking at Yamada who was ignoring them.
“Yama-chan, are you okay?” Yamada lifted up his head from the screen and stared at his friends. Then he looked down at the screen again.
“I’m fine Chii…can’t you look for yourself? Seriously, how many times you guys want to ask me either I’m fine or not? It is not like I am dying here. I am all healthy and in a good condition. Stop worrying me so much okay,” responded Yamada. He was getting bored with the same questions every time he bumped with the four 7 members.
“No, you are not Yama-chan. You have been ignoring us since the incident. You always make excuses every time we ask if you want to go out with us. Does that look like you are completely fine?” Keito burst out.
“Yeaahhh…physically you may look fine, but mentally no, you are not. You can say a trillion times that you are fine to others and they will believe it, but not to us. We know that you are not okay and still affected by yesterday’s incident in the café. You can’t lie to us that easily Yama-chan, especially me. I’ve known you the longest,” continued Yuto.
“So what if I am still affected by that? It is not like we can do a thing about it. I just need my time to get over it. Then I am going to be okay and return to normal me. I don’t hope that I….”
“Guys! Guys! Where are you?” Suddenly they heard Ryutaro’s voice calling out their names.
“We are in Yama-chan’s room,” replied Chinen.
The door was pushed and they saw Ryutaro walk in, panting heavily. Sweat was all over his face. He looked like he had just run a 10 kilometers marathon.
“Guys…you…have…to know…this.”
“Yo…slow down a bit. Take your breath first; we can’t understand if you keep talking like that. Here, water.” Keito handed him a bottle of mineral water. Ryutaro grabbed it and drank it until the last drop.
“Haa…thanks very much for helping!”
“So, what is the big news? The girl you like confessed to you? You got new DS from your mother or is it…haaaa…don’t tell me you did that!”
“Oi…stop already! It has nothing to do with me, my DS or the girl! It is BEST.”
“What with best? Oi, Yama-chan! Stay where you are. You have to try not to avoid this okay.” Yuto stopped Yamada who was about to walk out from the room, but he failed as Yuto read his mind.
“Fine! What is it? My time is more precious than a story of BEST.” Yamada sat back on the chair and turned facing Ryutaro.
“Believe me, the story is much more precious than your time. Okay, still remember about the incident yesterday?” For that statement Ryutaro received a do-you-want-to-die-now glare from Yuto and a punch on his arm from Keito.
“What! Don’t do that to me okay. I know that subject is painful but seriously nothing is more painful than this.” He shoved his hand into his pocket and took out his phone. He pressed the button on the right and it played a recording.
