The next day, a little after 9, Hiro and Suguru were in the studio as usual. Unlike most days, neither Sakano nor K was there. Shuichi was also absent but that didn't actually surprise anyone anymore.
Not saying anything besides the usual greetings, they sat down to wait for the vocalist to make his appearance. They both looked bored and tired; it wasn't as if waking up early was easy for them either. Total silence reigned for a few moments.
"What do you think about yesterday's events?" asked Hiro.
"Hugh?" Fujisaki snapped out of his half-asleep state and looked at the guitarist.
"About the new president and the merger," Hiro clarified.
"...Well, it is a good opportunity for us, don't you think?" Suguru questioned.
"Yeah, but I would have never expected Seguchi-san to give up his position...even temporarily. He must want this to happen very much," Hiro replied.
"Guess so…" Suguru's eyes wondered aimlessly in the small room, "Shuichi is late again..." he observed.
"Everyone has gotten used to it by now Suguru," Hiro said with a slight smile.
"Yes, it has become an everyday thing lately," the keyboardist agreed.
"It's because the problems with Yuki are in the past now...Shuichi is at last happy," Hiro replied, his honest smile revealed that he was truly glad for his friend.
Suguru nodded in agreement, "It is strange however."
"What is?" the guitarist asked, looking at his fellow Bad Luck member with a quirked eyebrow.
"It is strange that even when he's happy he somehow manages to get himself in a slump again."
"..." Hiro couldn't really say anything to that; it was totally true.
The door suddenly burst open and an out of breath Shuichi was seen standing there.
"...S-sorry...I'm...late..."he managed to say, panting.
"Yeah, yeah...like this isn't the 3rd time this week," Suguru muttered, dismissively.
Hiro had noticed something strange in that picture. "Hey Shu, how come K isn't dragging you in?" he asked.
"I don't know..." Shuichi said, just having realized that fact himself. Shuichi looked as if he expected K to jump out and mob him while he scanned the area for his gun carrying 'friend'.
"That is strange, we haven't seen him since yesterday and usually he is here before you or comes in with you," Hiro mused.
"You mean dragging him," Suguru offered.
Shuichi glared at the keyboardist, "Well, as you can see, I came all by myself today. No one dra-"
"Excuse me..."
Shuichi was interrupted by a polite voice coming from the direction of the door of the recording room. All the members of Bad Luck turned to that direction. A mutual gasp of amazement could be heard as they looked at the man standing easily in the doorway. The man was simply gorgeous! Even Suguru was mesmerized by his looks. He was wearing dark blue jeans with a simple green shirt but despite these plain clothes his looks were sure to draw attention. This strangers' body was that of a model and his skin was slightly tanned, nicely complimented with short black hair and a pair of exceptionally dark green eyes.
"Is this the studio were "Bad Luck" is recording?" the stranger asked.
"Y-yes, this is it. We are "Bad Luck" said Hiro, who was the first to recover his speaking ability.
"Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't realize. Please don't be offended, I just came from Europe so I hadn't known..." the man said honestly.
"That's okay. I'm Hiroshi Nakano by the way," the Bad Luck's guitarist extended his hand towards the stranger who took it lightly and smiled.
"I'm Marco Reyes, pleased to meet you."
"This is Shuichi Shindou and Suguru Fujisaki," Hiro proceeded to introduce his fellow band mates.
"Nice to meet you Reyes-san" Shuichi exclaimed as he and Marco shook hands.
"Please call me Marco, Shindou-san," the new comer said with a kind smile.
"Then you must call me Shuichi," the vocalist beamed.
"You speak Japanese very well Reyes-san," Suguru remarked after he had also exchanged greetings with Marco.
"Marco, please; thank you for your remark. The truth is that I do have an affinity for languages," Marco replied.
"Well, I see everyone is here," K, having just arrived, said as he walked into the room, "Good, because I have to relay the orders of the new boss."
K took a deep breath, "As has already been stated, everything will continue as before. The only change that will affect Bad Luck directly is that you will receive a new member."
"What?!" exclaimed the three members of Bad Luck simultaneously. He had to be kidding.
"Mr. Reyes will join in as the band's lyricist," K announced with a triumphant smile.
