Riku's POV.

I thought it's a dream... I still can't believe that night, that Kujo-san, the same person who took Tenn-ni away from me, offered me a deal which he would give Tenn-ni and Aya-chan back to us. Not to mention, Kujo-san seemed so kind... Is he that nice man than what I expected of him? I don't know, I want to ask Tenn-ni but I didn't, that makes me look suspicious if I did. Ahhh, what should I do?! Should I accept the deal or no? But, Tamaki will be happy once Aya-chan free. What will happen if I accept the deal...?

"Nanase-san!" My body flinched when Iori was shouting at me suddenly.

"I-Iori? W-Whats wrong?" I asked.

"We've been calling you for 10 times already, we're in meeting right now, please be focus." Everyone looked at me worriedly then I was laughing nervously while apologising like a silly.

"Is there something wrong, Riku-kun?" Sogo-san asked.

"Are you hungry, Rikkun? I'll give you my Osama pudding!" Tamaki showed his half-eaten pudding.

"Tamaki-kun! I said no eating pudding in meeting!" Sogo-san scolded at Tamaki-kun.

"Yeah yeah, I get it." Tamaki didn't listen, just continue eating his pudding.

"Well, I'm okay, guys. Don't worry!" I said with a smile.

"Are you sure?" Mitsuki asked.

"I'm sure!"

"Alright then..." Manager-san cleared her throat to break the awkwardness.

"Idolish7 will be having a showbiz later, and fan-sign event after that. Tomorrow, you'll have a performance around 3:40pm and have a showbiz again but with Trigger and Re:Vale after the performance, you'll be free in the morning until 3:40pm." She said out loud and clear.

"And about Mezzo, since you two have a tight scheduls for tomorrow. Then the day after tomorrow, you'll both have photoshoot and a performance as well." Banri-san added.

"That's all! Is there any question you want to ask?" Manager-san asked.

"None!" Everyone replied including me.

"Good! The meeting's over, everyone may dismiss!"

"Hai!" Everyone left while I went back to my room still thinking about the deal.

After our fan-sign event, we went back to our changing room, everyone were changing while chatting. While me, I still was thinking about it...

"Nanase-san?" Iori called me.

"What is it, Iori?" I asked.

"Are you okay, Nanase-san? I mean, it's just that, you've been unusually quiet ever since we got here... Is it because of that night...?" I looked at him with questioning look.

"That night?" Iori frozed.

"N-No, nevermind..." Iori already changed and then leave. I know what Iori's thinking about, that night... Well, I totally forgot about it since Kujo-san's deal still shocking me.

"Riku, we're already changed so we have to leave, are you okay being alone without us?" Mitsuki asked.

"Sure! I'm almost done here anyway, please, go without me! I don't want you guys keep waiting for me!" I smiled.

"Alright then, if you say so..." With that, they finally leave me alone. Once I had done changing before going out, I took my stuff and put it on my bag including my inhalers. After I went out, I was walking through the hallways a little bit faster though knew it'll affects my asthma but I don't want others waiting for me. My body stopped and hiding behind the wall when I saw a familiar figure. I peeked.

'Ah, it's Tenn-ni! I didn't know he's here! Better say hi to him, hehe~' When I was about to come out, my memory from that night came back to me which I immediately stopped myself, and I'm still hiding like a pathetic. Just as soon as I was about to leave, I heard and recognised that voice, and I immediately know whose that voice.

'Kujou san!' I took a peek once again.

"You're doing well this time, Tenn." Kujou san complimented.

"I thank you, Kujou san." Tenn-ni thanked with no hint of gratitude.

"I hope you'll doing better than this next time."

"I understand." He bowed his head down.

There's something I really don't understand... Kujou san appreciates Tenn-ni's hard work but Tenn-ni doesn't respect Kujou san at all. I mean sure, he's the one who took Tenn-ni away from me, and it's the same for Tenn-ni... probably... But I feel so bad about Kujou san, as if he's like me... I saw a sadness in his eyes that night but I couldn't say a thing... Huh? Why would I wonder about that...?

"..."

'What will he do if I were in Tenn-ni' s replacement...?'

'Replace...?'

'Ah... That's it...'

This time, I really headed back to others.

"Nanase san, finally you're here!" Iori relieved for some reason.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, Iori kun."

"We thought you're lost, while Iori here is so panicking just a while ago~" Mitsuki teased his lil brother.

"N-Ni san!" Iori blushed. Everyone are laughing and I join in.

'Now, I finally found the answer.'

Third POV.

At night, where everyone already sleeping excluding Riku. He sneaked out again while hugging a paper bag on his arms tightly. By the time when he get there, he saw Kujou standing while waiting for him patiently. He walked towards him slowly.

"Kujou san..." Kujou looked at him then smile.

"Hello there, Riku kun." He greeted.

"U-Umm, here's the coat... Thank you for letting me borrowed yesterday, if weren't for it, I might get attack..." Riku thanked him nervously.

"I see, that's relief. I'm glad you didn't get attack." Kujou responds.

"..." They've been silence for few minutes till Kujou broke the silence.

"So, have you found your answer?" Kujou asked.

"Yes, I found my answer... So... I, Nanase Riku, accept your deal, Kujou san!" Riku answered with confidence.

"Good, what a wonderful decision you have made there!" Kujou satisfied with his answer and gave it back to him the paper bag with a piece of small paper.

"Let's shall meet here again, call me whatever time you want, I'll come for you right away. And you can have my coat, you need it more than I do. Have a sweet dream, Nanase Riku." Kujou left with a smile on his face.

After kujo left, Riku was walking home while hugging a paper bag tightly. 'He accepts me... He really did accepts me... No matter how weak I am due to my illness and not professional enough like Tenn-ni, he still accepts me and believes me like I can do it! He's the first one who didn't doubt me and my power like others... I'll do my best to prove my worth to Tenn-ni and everyone! I'll work harder than before to surpass Tenn-ni, and even Zero! I'll do everything for Kujou san! No matter how much pain I would receive, I'll never give up, even my till very last breath will leave me!'
