There were only 2 days left until the concert. I sighed, closing my phone. Uncomfortable, I settled into my sitting position on the floor. Together with Kaoru we were in the studio— a couple of hours ago we had already been rehearsing the repertoire of songs we planned to perform.

"Still no answer?" my voice could hopefully be heard. I wasn't really paying attention to the lack of the last member, I was still gnawing me with my thoughts. "Nope."

To my surprise, Kaoru had not traveled alone to Tokyo. Days ago, when we met again, we had arranged to get together to resume band rehearsals. However, little did I expect the familiar face that walked through the door with Kaoru.

Surpassing me by many inches, Aoi smiled at me nonchalantly; although I could still sense some melancholy when he saw me. Just as I felt.

Going back years, we never really bonded with Aoi. But we did have a lot of fun the times we shared, especially when we would make fun of Shizue's nonsense comments during practice.

«Long time, Zuzu» It was the first thing he said to me once we both came out of our little trance. Hearing it my eyes widened in amazement. Just as I hadn't heard from them in a while, I didn't think the boy remembered the nickname he himself had given me the first time we met.
