I am really sorry for this late update. I sort of gave up on writing for a while, but your support brought me back for the time being. Thank you all so much :)
Enjoy.

As it turned out, Saotome's resort was, for lack of a more fitting word, fabulous.
It was seriously beautiful. The resort was 5 stars, the beach made it look like we were in Hawaii, and there was swimming pools, snack bars, fitness corners... I couldn't list them all down even if I wanted to.
However, this was to be expected, after all, Saotome was a world-famous idol.
I was sorely disappointed to find out we were to stick to our usual roommates. After all, we were here on vacation to relax, and Mikaze was practically the source of my stress.
I didn't like the idea of blushing 24/7 and waking at 5am in the morning everyday.
On the other hand, Sakura, my adorable composer had herself a lovely female composer that she could confide him, and here I was getting stuck with a terribly good-looking senior.
The terribly good-looking senior who acted like he had no feelings, who was cold and strict about most of the times, who was itterly mysterious in everything he did and the one who had helped me out more than ever.
In other words, Ai Mikaze was the senior whom I have fallen for.
But here in Shining Agency, romance is forbidden, and Ai Mikaze has fallen out of reach. I can't fall any deeper for him, because there is no way we could be together, even if he was to reciprocate my feelings.
Even if I strike a bullseye, it is just a fantasy of mine. A fantasy of an idiot, who has never fallen in love before.
.
The room had two single beds, separated by a wooden table with a lamp. It was then did I realise we had a problem.
There was no way Mikaze could separate the room with duct tape. If he did, one of us wouldn't be able to go out and the other wouldn't be able to use the washroom. After all, the hotel room wasn't as conveniently furnished as our room back in the Agency.
I glanced at Mikaze, hoping that he could sense how clueless I was at the moment. Out of embarassment (and my inability to stand near to him without my face glowing red) I had opted to glance down at the carpeted floor until he gave me the verdict redgarding how this situation was to be handled.
However, curiosity wormed its way into my heart and I couldn't help but glance at him.
His cold blue eyes darted across the room in silent contemplation as he seemed to be thinking hard of a solution.
In the end, he remained silent, meaning that there was none.
Sensing my gaze, he turned his head abruptly and focused his gaze upon me.
"Yuki. Except for the rule regarding my territory, the others still apply."
I nodded, feeling flustered. That would be rule #2 and #3, the one about not going near him while he slept and the one about not approaching him for anything other than learning purposes.
Maybe we had blown the 'problem' out of proportion, and made a big deal out of nothing, but I guess the fact that I had subconsciously begin to worry about the rules meant that I had grown to respect Mikaze as a seniors, and I had avoided breaking the rules other than the time I pissed him off.
Maybe, after all this time, I have at least grown a little, and that itself was comforting in the sense that I wasn't wasting my time here.
.
Well. When someone disaster-prone like me is around, things always seemed to go wrong.
I had been hanging out at the poolside bar, avoiding going near the pool even. I knew how to swim, in the sense that I took a swimming course before, but I wasn't sure if I could swim if it came down to it.
(That wasn't the problem, seeing that my body would naturally thrash to stay afloat in any case)
That wasn't the problem though. When I was walking to the other side of the pool to greet Syo and Natsuki, I tripped over a stray tree root. Why did I trip? I happened to catch sight of Saotome shirtless and suntanning a few metres away.
No doubt I would be forever scarred mentally.
Walking over to Syo and Natsuki, I realised that someone else had joined them- Mikaze. I disregarded the aching in my leg, dismissing it as something that woukd eventually fade.
"Ah, kawaii Yuki-chan!"
Natsuki smiled as he glanced at me, and I couldn't help but smile back at him. Syo had sputtered upon seeing me and I laughed at him.
As I glanced over to Mikaze, I promptly looked away when I realised he was looking at me. Way to avoid awkwardness.
Taking a step back, I smiled and excused myself, about to set off to find Sakura and Nanami-senpai for some reason when I was knocked into the pool. Hard.
I deduced that it was some kid- Saotome's resorts had some of the idols' relatives come over to visit sometimes.
I hadn't thought much of veung knocked in. After all, I was already in a bathing suit and I could swim somewhat, so I was fine.
That was what I thought until I thought to kick upwards and one of my legs was numb with pain and essentially refusing to move. I then remembered the pain I had felt after falling down. Not only that, I had walked over to the deep end of the pool.
Oh dear.
Determinedly, I tried to stay afloat by paddling with my hands, but I began to sink, and fast.
I then registered Syo and Natsuki's shouts. Someone jumped in and I couldn't see who was it. The water, mixed with the smell of chlorine, had gotten into my eyes and I began to splutter.
I could feel a cool arn guiding me over to the side of the pool and I was lifted up and placed on the floor. Lurching forward, I sputtered out water that I had no idea that I swallowed.
I looked up to meet a pair of cold blue eyes boring into me, and I nearly had heart failure.
And it wasn't from shock.
Mikaze stood in front of me, the tips of his blue hair dripping and his shirt soaked. Now that I was fine, he was looking at me, his eyes showing me his suppressed and cold fury.
Without a word, he turned and silently walked off.
