PART 1

Mikaze Ai, the youngest member of QUARTET NIGHT, is seen to be practicing hard on the dance steps. Kotobuki Reiji, the eldest member, is seen to be organizing the dining table with food for lunch. Kurosaki Ranmaru, is seen to be playing his bass and Camus, is seen to be practicing his lines for his next drama.

Reiji suddenly called them, as a signal that lunch was ready. Ranmaru was too eager to stop what he was doing, due to his starvation. Camus silently went to the table and sat down. Ai on the other hand, seemed to not have heard Reiji as he continued to practice.

Reiji sighed when he realized this, so he dragged his feet towards Ai and tapped him on his shoulder. That snapped the latter, stopped practicing and looked up at him with an expressionless look.

Reiji smiled a little, "Ai-Ai, you have been practicing. Take a break for a bit and lunch. The others are waiting."

Ai only hummed as he dragged his feet towards the dining table with Reiji following from behind. Ai sat down and Reiji followed suit. The members started to eat silently, with the exception of Ranmaru commenting on Reiji's cooking. Camus sliced a piece of beef before putting inside his mouth, at the same time, retorting at Ranmaru's reaction from time to time. Ai on the other hand, has been in his own thoughts as he ate his lunch.

'I wonder how they were doing. Are they practicing hard enough? Especially Syo...'

Ai mentally shook his head.

'No, no. Why am I thinking about them? They're our rivals now...'

Ai sighed in exasperation. He has been thinking about them, especially him lately and it bothered him to no end. Because of his musings, he didn't even noticed Reiji pulling out his phone and answering it.

'What is this feeling? I feel something burn around my chest whenever I think about him...why is that...?'

.

SLAM!

Ai snapped out of his own thoughts when he heard it. He looked from the corner of his eyes and saw Reiji standing, his right hand were on the table and the other hand was holding the phone on his ear. Not to mention, the look that Reiji has is a bit worrying (Ai may not realized it though). He also noticed that both Ranmaru and Camus stopped eating and were also looking at Reiji.

"Okay, I understand. We will be on our way. Of course, we will have a truce for now. You bet! Okay, See you, Rin-chan! Bye." Reiji took the phone off from his ear and ended the call before putting it in his pocket.

Reiji then looked at them with a worried yet calm expression. He sighed for a bit before speaking, "After we eat, we have to go to the hospital."

Ranmaru munched on his meat before swallowing, so he could speak, "Why do we have to go though? It is not like it is our business."

Reiji scratched his temple as he sighed, "That might be so, but it is somehow our business if it is related to our kouhais, Ran-Ran."

Ranmaru's eyes widened for a bit before narrowing his eyes while looking at Reiji.

"What about them? It's not like we care about them. And just a reminder, we see them as rivals, not just our kouhais, Reiji. So stop being so friendly about them. Aren't you the one who started all this."

"Ran-Ran, I know you are worried about them as much as I do. Also, didn't you hear what I just said? I made a truce with them for the time being." Reiji said as he looked at Ranmaru with an annoyed look.

Ai, who was listening the whole time, decided to speak, "So? What is the reason why we have to go though, Reiji? It is not like it was serious, right?"

Camus continued calmly, "Unless one of them is dying..."

Silence suddenly developed the atmosphere. No one said anything until Reiji broke the silence by clearing his throat.

"Uh... no one is dying, Myu-chan. Rin-chan just told me that Syo-chan collapsed during their lunch break. They haven't learned the reason why though. It is a good thing that everyone was with him at that time. Rin-chan also asked me if we could find some time to visit, as their seniors."

"Are you saying that we have to babysit them again? Not a chance, Reiji." Ranmaru grumbled.

"That's mean, Ran-Ran. And I think it is better if we visit, so that we will know what our dear kouhais' situation right now." Reiji pouted.

Camus sighed and coldly stated, "Then why don't you go there by yourself if you want to know, you fool."

"But Myu-chan~ aren't you worried? Didn't you want to see Cesshi-chan?" Reiji whined.

Camus glared at him and was about to say something when Ai butted in the conversation.

"Why don't we all go then? It will not hurt you to visit just this once."

Camus sighed, "Mikaze, it is not like you to agree with Reiji's nonsense."

Ai stared emotionlessly at Camus, "Does it matter? It is not like Reiji will stop bothering us if we disregard his plans to visit."

Hearing Ai's statement, both Ranmaru and Camus could only sighed in defeat.

"Fine, we'll visit after eating." Both of them said it in unison.

"Yay~!" Reiji cheered and all of them can see Reiji wagging his tail, like a giddy puppy.

Yep, they couldn't say no without being bothered further by this flirty idiot.

Ringo was seen waiting outside the emergency room, waiting. He was sitting down while his face staring down on his lap and very worried. Beside him was Hyuuga Ryuya, one of the teachers at Saotome Academy and famous Action Star. He has his back leaning against the wall, wearing an unreadable expression.

Nanami was also with them, she was standing opposite to Ringo, staring at the door of the emergency room with a worried expression.

Both teachers and Nanami were waiting for Syo getting out of the emergency room.

You might be wondering where the other STARISH members were? Well, they were forced to attend an interview and a recording by Hyuuga, courtesy of Shining Saotome, the President. The members were skeptical of leaving Syo but both teachers reasoned that Syo would not like it if they skipped their responsibility as an idol and their hardships. So they had no choice.

Ringo started fidgeting his fingers when Syo hasn't come out. It has been three hours since he was rushed to the hospital after all. Nanami and Hyuuga noticed this but didn't make any movement to comfort the cross-dressed Idol as both of them were worried as well about Syo.

'Syo-kun, please be okay...' Nanami thought as she silently prayed for Syo's safety.

"Rin-chan! We're here." A familiar voice shouted, made Nanami snapped her and looked at the owner of the voice. She couldn't help but smile in gladness when seeing them came in the hospital.

It was the QUARTET NIGHT members who came, Reiji being the one who shouted along with the others silently following him from behind.

Ringo and Hyuuga also looked at them and Ringo stood up from the bench, looking a bit relief but remained worried.

"Oh Reiji-kun, I am glad that you all came. I hope we didn't bother you while you are having schedules." Ringo apologetically stated.

"It's fine, Rin-chan. We tried our best to come here as soon as possible but the managers are stubborn today. And we were also worried about Syo. Anyway, what is the situation right now?"

Ringo shook his head, "Syo-chan has been in the emergency room for three hours now. I don't know what really happened but he suddenly collapsed while laughing along with Nacchan, Oto-kun and Cecil-kun. It all happened suddenly."

"He must have been overworking himself." Ranmaru stated as he crossed his arms.

"We wouldn't be worrying much if it was caused by exhaustion, Ran-kun. He hasn't been working too much for a few days, because the others always tell him not to over work himself and he's been under surveillance for a week."

Ai raised his brow at this and asked, "Why is that?"

Ringo only shook his head, not knowing or is it?

Ranmaru snorted at this and said drily, "He overworked himself even before you took action of keeping himself overworked. Figures..."

Ai narrowed his eyes as he stares at the door of the emergency room, not knowing what to react.

Camus only sighed before silently walking away, leaving the others. Possibly going to the lobby to read.

Reiji looked at Ranmaru, a bit annoyed at his insensitive comment.

Reiji then faced Ringo and said, "Maa, maa, Rin-chan. I'm sure Syo will be alright. He's strong, ne?"

Ringo smiled a bit and nodded his head before taking a glance at Hyuuga, who nodded his head slightly in agreement. Ringo smiled before turning his gaze at the emergency room.

Ai, who heard Reiji, thought, 'Syo, you better be alright. I still need some answers...'

Hence, the seniors and the former teachers were waiting for Syo to come out.

And then the emergency room's door opened...

The rest of the STARISH members were standing there in, eyes widened in surprise. No one really expected that their seniors (with the exception of Ai, who went to the lobby, requesting for the bill and Hyuuga, who had to go to his schedule) would be there when they get in the hospital and in front of Syo's assigned room.

Earlier, Otoya received a text from Ringo that Syo was sent in one of the private rooms and told them to come as soon as possible.

Syo's parents were called as well by the doctors but the one who came was Syo's brother, Kaoru. There were some incidents happened here and there but everything went fine before STARISH's arrival.

So, anyway...

"R-Rei-chan? What are you doing here?!" Otoya expressed his surprise.

"Kurosaki-san is also here." Hijirikawa commented.

"Even Camus came!" Cecil exclaimed happily.

"Yo, Otoyan~ Long time no see. We received a text from Rin-chan. So we decided to pay a visit." Reiji happily responded.

"How long have you been here, Kotobuki-san?" Tokiya asked as he picked the basket full of fruits from Otoya, who was happy at the moment.

Reiji grinned, "We have been here for two hours, Tokki. And we were supposed to go back to the hotel right not. We were just waiting for Ai to come back."

Natsuki giddily butted in the conversation, "Where is Ai-chan then, Reiji-senpai~?"

Reiji looked at Natsuki and answered, "He went to the-"

"I am here."

Everyone jumped in bewilderment when they heard someone spoke as they turn their head to see Ai leaning his right arm against the wall while his feet were crossed, looking at them with his usual poker face.

Reiji sweat dropped before smiling at Ai, "Ai-Ai, when did you come back?"

"Just now, Reiji; Anyway, the doctor already came out and said that Syo's awake now. We can enter the room now. Just lower your voice or behave carefully."

Everyone chorused 'Yes' before entering one by one, with Ai as the last person to enter along with Ringo.

Upon entering, they saw Syo lying on the bed as his eyes were staring at the ceiling.

"Syo-chan..." Natsuki called.

Syo's eyes widened a bit before turning his head sideward, looking at Natsuki.

"Natsuki..." Syo's eyes became larger when he noticed that it is not only Natsuki, but the rest of members of STARISH and their former teachers. He was also surprised to see their seniors, QUARTET NIGHT there but more surprised at the group's youngest member, to the point he abruptly sat up from the hospital bed.

"A-Ai, what are you doing here?"
