My Boss is Sick

She's My Bodyguard

“Good morning!” Rio happily pushed the door open of JUMP’s dressing room expecting to see nine boys, including her beloved ‘boss’ - Yamada Ryosuke. She immediately led herself inside like she was already part of the group. The boys greeted her; her presence ever so bright that pulled all of their lips apart. 

 

“Ah! Rio-chan… I forgot to text you. Yama-chan is off today. He didn’t say why but he said he just want to get a day off. You actually didn’t have to come” Yabu, the eldest of the group pointed out while fixing the rest of his things ready for their next rehearsal session. Rio tilted her head in curiosity and waited for the older boy to further explain. All she knew is that Ryosuke was fine yesterday, and now, he requested a day off. Did she do something wrong?

 

“Maa, Rio-chan can still stay here and keep us company! We love having her around” Chinen smiled and randomly clung on Rio’s left arm. The girl just smiled back but couldn’t help but to worry about her beloved ‘boss’. 

 

Seeing Rio’s restless expression, Yuto approached the girl and patted her head, “You should get a day off too. Just go home” he remarked. He’s always been like this - ever so kind and gentle, especially towards Rio. This was not gone unnoticed by the seven other boys who exchanged whispers and teasing. 

 

“Ayiiieee, notice us too, Yuto senpai!” The ever so silly Kei Inoo, Takaki Yuya and Hikaru Yaotome teased and whooped which didn’t fail to make Yuto embarrassed. It’s true that his group mates are still not used to this side of him in front of Rio. 

 

Seeing how silly her friends are acting, Rio just smiled and ignored their teasing, “I’ll just check up on him to make sure he’s okay” she replied but for some reason, made Yuto a bit uneasy. 

 

“Do you want me to come with you? I heard it’s not very safe walking alone these days. The news is full of girls being harassed in the streets” Yuto worriedly asked which earned a few nods from their friends. Keito showed Rio a recent newspaper which shows a massive headline highlighting unfortunate happenings to girls walking alone especially at night time. 

 

“I agree. It’s not very safe. They might split your stomach open and sell your organs. Ugh! It’s spooky!” Hikaru spoke next, almost making Rio shiver in the process. He further teased the girl by stepping forward and wiggled all his fingers, somewhat imitating some kind of tentacled monster? O.o

 

“Mou, Hika-chan! You’re not making it any better!” Rio took a step back and then saw Yuto shifting his body in front of her to protect her from Hikaru. 

 

“Yeah… and you look like a ert right now Hika-chan” Yuto left off a ‘tsk’ and continued to protect the girl behind him. The bunch chuckled at the scene, somehow mocking Hikaru for his ‘ert-ish’ expression. 

 

“I’ll be absolutely fine! It’s still early anyway… and I’ll go home as soon as I make sure he’s okay” She insisted. To be honest, she’s feeling a bit guilty for giving Ryosuke so much trouble. She’s supposed to be his bodyguard, but for some reason, it seems like she’s giving him more misfortunes than easing his troubles. 

 

Yuto looked at her in concern. He knows that Rio can be very very stubborn sometimes, up to a point that she doesn’t think about her own safety. He’s itching to just pull her and stop her from going… maybe he’s a bit jealous? Maybe? “Be careful” he mouthed the words of worry and soon enough saw his best friend going her way outside the room. 

 

 

Rio took a deep breath and expected her lion-like ‘boss’ to welcome her inside his home. This is the second time she visited his home but it still scares her. Maybe because she knows that the devil is in his own natural habitat? 

 

She pressed the doorbell and just waited for an answer. She waited awhile but no one opened the door. She pressed the bell again for luck then heard sets of footsteps walking down the stairs. It wasn’t long when she heard the click of the door which revealed a very pale Yamada Ryosuke - wrapped in his blanket, bed hair sticking out, lips chapped and struggling to hold his coughs. Despite all these, his half-opened pyjama top just made Rio gulp. It revealed his white muscly chest which made the girl frozen for a good few seconds. Damn! Even sick, he’s hot.

 

“What are you doing here?” He struggled to say in between his sneezes. 

 

“Well, Yabu-kun said you wanted a day off, he didn’t say you were sick”

 

“That’s why I didn’t tell him. I didn’t want anyone to make a big deal out of it” Ryosuke replied. He kept the door half open and inhibited Rio to come in. 

 

“You obviously need someone to take care of you. Are your parents here?”

 

“No”

 

“Then can I at least come in?” Rio asked politely but in turn saw the boy snapped and shot a cold glare at her. 

 

“No. You’re not welcome here. You might get sick too” The pale boy warned but Rio’s persistence is just too much for him. Without even a chance to protest, Rio barged in his apartment and invited herself into the half empty living room. 

 

Rio looked at the room in awe. Everything looks so neat and tidy. The room was nicely decorated, bookshelves neatly arranged, Ryosuke’s work desk sitting at the corner of the room where you can see music sheets he’s obviously working on intently. Rio then saw two doors: one leading to the kitchen and one open door that revealed some parts of his bedroom. “Wow… This is one nice biiiig studio apartment for just one person” she whispered to herself and couldn’t help but to compare her own shabby small apartment to Ryosuke’s. 

 

“Do you live here alone? Where’s your family?”

 

“You’re as nosy as always. Geez” Ryosuke just lost the will to argue with the girl and just let her invade his home. “We don’t live together. They can’t deal with all the paparazzi pestering me all the time so they decided to leave me alone” he continued like it was no big deal. 

 

On the other hand, Rio couldn’t help but to feel sorry for him. How can his family leave him like this? It seems like he’s so used to being alone that he’s saying this like it was nothing. 

 

Without further ado, the girl walked towards him and took his hand inside his bedroom.

 

“Wah?! What are you doing?” Rio didn’t let him protest and just pushed him on his bed, took out his duvet cover and just covered him with a thin blanket like a sushi roll. 

 

“We need to get your temperature down. Just behave yourself” Rio sternly bossed the sick boy. Ryosuke tried to sit up but the girl just firmly pushed his body back down in a lying position. She can look petite and weak but she can definitely defeat a sick person’s strength. 

 

Not having much strength and feeling his own head pounding, he just rested his head on his pillow and let Rio rampage his own home. He heard her pacing back and forth between his bedroom and the kitchen as if looking for something. He felt his heavy eyelids closing before feeling a damp cloth on his forehead. 

 

“Y-You don’t have to do this” He whispered.

 

“Shh… Stop being so stubborn. I’ll cook you something. Just wait here” Rio tried her best to become the best nurse possible. She found herself rampaging Ryosuke’s kitchen and opened all of the cupboards to find the utensils she needed. She pulled a small pot and tried her best to make something out of the available ingredients inside Yamada’s fridge (which is not a lot, by the way). She knows for a fact that she can’t cook but right now, she needs to feed her ‘boss’. She took a few ingredients and before she knew it, she was cooking. 

 

While waiting for the water to boil, she noticed a small picture of a girl stuck on Ryosuke’s refrigerator, held by a fridge magnet. The picture was just half the size of her palm but she can still recognise her. She’s almost in all of fashion magazines in Japan - Mariya Nashiuchi. “She looks so beautiful” she whispered to herself while eyeing the face printed on the picture. She remembered how this same girl is the one Ryosuke truly likes. Having he
