Chapter 13
Début
...
A loud ringing echoed in the early morning, disturbing a sleeping Kagami Taiga. With a painful groan, Kagami stretched towards the bedside table where the phone was. Holding it to his face, he saw that it was an incoming call. And the caller was damn persistent. Receiving the call, he heard a screech that nearly made him look twice to see if it was actually Kise that called.
"Taiga! I'm wondering if my eyes are deceiving me!"
"Hnn…?" Kagami gave out; the sleepiness was evident in his voice. On this particular morning, he was brutally woken out of his sleep by his friend from America ―Himuro Tatsuya. "Good morning to you too." He groaned out.
"Don't try to change the subject!" He screeched into the phone.
"Wait, we were talking about something?" He droned. "I don't remember."
"There's a video posted on YouTube! With you, Kuroko, Kise, Kasamatsu and Takao singing and dancing perfectly on stage! Since when could you move like that?!"
"Since I became an idol trainee." Kagami deadpanned. He was too much like Kuroko in this aspect. But the main reason was that after they viewed their apartment, Hikaru drilled them in their rehearsals. Kagami's entire body was sore at the moment. What made it worst, Hikaru had seen the video of them performing with Perfect 5th and had gotten emotional (well, as emotional as a Kuroko could get).
Tatsuya let out a startled gasp. "Idol trainee? You? What!?" In his shock, he actually spoke in English. "Tell me everything!"
"Tatsuya, it's early in the morning, can you call back later? I'm really tired from rehearsals, you know?"
"It's not early! It's after ten!" But he paused as he understood that Kagami may be tired. "But I have to ask, rehearsals for what?"
"We're débuting. All five of us. February, Aihara Festival."
"EH?!"
"Good morning Tatsuya." Kagami said as he hung up the phone. This time, he turned off the device, and went back to sleep.
Meanwhile, Tatsuya was frozen with shock. Murasakibara, who was beside him, heard the conversation (well, Tatsuya's half) and although he didn't show it, he was surprised as well. He hadn't seen the video as yet, but he was curious. The two boys were simply out shopping.
"Muro-chin, which video is that?" the purple-haired giant asked, taking Tatsuya out of his thoughts.
"I'll show you." He replied. After fiddling with his phone, he found the video and showed it to the centre. From the moment the video began, Murasakibara was unable to continue munching on his snacks. As a matter of fact, his snack-bag had fallen to the ground. And like Midorima, while he was shocked to see Kise and Takao, this behaviour was within expectation. The persons who shocked him the most were Kuroko, Kagami and Kasamatsu.
"Muro-chin, this isn't photoshopped?"
Tatsuya laughed. "I wish. But Taiga verified it."
"Really?" For once, Murasakibara's voice lost its usual drawl.
"Yeah," Tatsuya nodded. "Apparently, they're idol trainees."
Murasakibara gaped in shock.

"Dai-chan! Stop the moping!" Momoi said as she nudged her friend in his sides mischievously.
"Whatever." Aomine grumbled. "Can we just get what we need and leave?"
"Don't be such a grouch." She pouted. "I need to be careful in my selection." The two were currently looking at female sneakers and had been on a hunt for the perfect pair for quite some time. To Aomine, he felt that this was useless, since Momoi didn't play any sport; she only wanted the sneakers to go to a concert all the way in February.
"Man, we've been searching for hours, can't you just pick one already?" Aomine asked, he sounded irritated. "I'm getting hungry."
"I can't just grab any one! I need a sturdy one!"
"Sturdy? Aren't you just going to be sitting or standing at whatever concert it is? Why do you need sturdy sneakers?"
Momoi sighed and shook her head. "It's not just any concert. It's the Ai-Fest! It's the only place where I can see my favourite idols for a price that a school-girl like me can afford! I'm going to be jumping and moving all over! I can't have my sneakers worn out before I leave the venue."
"Ai-Fest?"
"Short for Aihara Music Festival, and it's the same one that you didn't accompany me to earlier this year!" she humphed. "I'm still upset!"
"Well, jeez, you know what had happened during that time. It's not my fault."
"Which means, you'll be coming with me this time!"
Aomine paled. This was not his cup of tea. And he knew that Momoi knew this as well. He stared at her with an intense gaze, but she looked back at him with just as much intensity. He knew she wasn't wavering, not this time around.
With a defeated sigh, he said, "So when do tickets go on sale?"
"January first. And it's first-come, first-serve." She said as though warning him.
"So where do we actually buy these tickets? Online?"
"Of course,"
"Then how we'll get them? In the mail?" Aomine has never purchased tickets to a concert before, so he was clueless.
"We can use the 'print at home' option. If we buy the VIP package then that'll come in the mail with other things."
Aomine snorted. "As if we have money for that."
"Well, VIP packages for the Ai-Fest are considerably cheaper than concerts that are held elsewhere. That's why every year Ai-Fest is sold out."
"Shit. Then, we only have one shot at this madness? Don't drag me into it!"
"Don't be like that Dai-chan." Momoi said. "We'll get tickets. Don't worry," she then changed the subject. "I was hoping that we all could attend together. You know; you, me, Midorin, Mukkun, Tetsu-kun, Ki-chan, Kagamin and Akashi-kun. And if possible, we could invite our teams as well. It'll be fun, won't it?"
"As long as we can go for basketball afterwards." Aomine said.
"Then, it's settled!" she perked. "Let me tell the others!"
"Look for your sneakers first!"
After a couple more minutes of shopping, Momoi finally purchased a pair. Then, they headed to a nearby Maji's to get something to eat. Aomine was quite content with this, but the moment Momoi sat down; she heard a 'ping' from her phone. Looking at the screen, she saw that it was a notification from a social media site.
"Hmm, I wonder what it is about?" she mumbled. Aomine was too engrossed in his food to notice. However, when she opened it, she saw that someone commented on a video that was shared.
Pressing on the link, she was redirected to YouTube and the video. What she saw left her speechless. There on the stage was Perfect 5th; talking about offering ten lucky fans a chance to come up on stage. The first five shocked her. She would have never thought that Kagami, Kuroko and Kasamatsu were fans of Perfect 5th, especially Kagami. Kise and Takao were within expectations.
Furthermore, as the video continued, her eyes nearly dropped out of her sockets. The five basketball players moved and sounded like idols. They were moving perfectly and singing with great vocals.
Aomine, who was eating, had heard the audio from the phone. "Who's that? They're not bad."
But he was ignored since Momoi was too engrossed in the video. When she reached the part where Catal Rhythm and Perfect 5th were performing together, she was dumbfounded. How could these boys move like naturals? This was Perfect 5th's song; most of their routines are known to be perfectly in sync with the music and beat and each other; how was it that they are able to perform it? How many hours and days of practice did it take to get to such level of perfection?
"Dai-chan…" she said in awe.
"What? You ignored me the first time when I said something, you know?" he said with a mouthful of food.
"No, look at this…" she then shoved the phone to him and he pressed the play icon. Aomine choked on his food. Not even finishing the video, he whipped out his phone to call Kagami (yes, they had each other's numbers) but sadly, it was going directly to voicemail. With a curse, he tried Kuroko's phone, but like Kagami, he wasn't getting an answer. Reaching his wits end, he called Kise and luckily, the blond answered. However, it was clear that he was sleepy and not thinking straight.
All Aomine heard were incoherent blabbers after which loud snoring assaulted his ears.
"Calm down, Dai-chan," Momoi said. "Leave it to me and Akashi-kun." She smirked.

Before Catal Rhythm realized, the weeks had run off quite quickly.
During the holidays, when they weren't rehearsing, or learning song composition or brushing up on whatever skills, they were hanging out with their teammates (in Kise's going to his modelling work). Takao was attacked by Shutoku the moment they saw him, and he had admitted (more like rubbed it in their faces) that he was an idol trainee. The team congratulated him and even Midorima, being his usual tsundere self, encouraged the boy in the most round-a-bout way.
Seirin and Kaijou hung out together most of the time, laughing and teasing their four soon-to-be-idols teammates. The two teams even helped out the boys when they were rehearsing, and met Kenji and Hikaru numerous amounts of times.
Amidst all this, they were questioned by the rest of the Miracles when they had managed to meet up. But with Akashi and Momoi present, they couldn't leave unscathed. Knowing that Catal Rhythm may deny any fact or try to weasel their way out, Akashi devised a plan. They were to play basketball, and each time the Miracles gained a point, Catal Rhythm would have to answer a question truthfully. Akashi dubbed the game: "Truth or Dare: Basketball style". Of course, the dares Catal Rhythm faced would still have them spilling the truth either way.
It was fun, but Catal Rhythm suffered sometimes. Kise and Kagami were lifesavers, Kuroko too, but the Miracles were vicious. And seeing that they had wanted answers, they were even more ruthless.
"So, you really are idol trainees." Momoi said. "Is that why you got called up on the stage?" she asked after.
"Nope." The five gave out. "We got lucky."
"We went to the concert to learn a few things," Kasamatsu said. He then shot a glare at Kise and Takao, "Unlike two fanboys I know."
"Come on, Senpai! We got to see Perfect 5th! Who wouldn't lose it?!" Kise countered.
"Yeah!" Takao agreed. Kasamatsu sighed. He'll be living with the two of them soon and he doubts that he'll be able to manage their craziness.
"I see." Midorima piped in, to bring the conversation back to the subject. "But what I can't understand is that three of you are doing this kind of thing." He said while looking at Kuroko, Kagami and Kasamatsu. "Kagami is a basketball idiot; Kasamatsu-san is a captain. While he exudes a level of maturity that's highly commendable, this sort of thing left me shocked."
Everyone stared at Midorima.
"Uh, thanks…?" Kasamatsu said, not knowing how to reply. "My hobby is music, so I ended up getting roped in without realizing it."
"Roped in?"
"It's a long story." The five gave out.
Akashi smirked. "We're on holiday; we've got plenty of time."

After Christmas, the boys had moved in their dorm; Takao's younger sister ―Kazue hurried him off although she was going to miss her brother once he was gone. Whilst they had their typical sibling quarrels and fights, the two were somewhat inseparable and add to that, they looked frighteningly alike.
Mikio was sad upon hearing of his brother's abrupt departure and as such played as much basketball with the older teen as much as possible. Mitsuo occasionally joined in. But even so, the younger brothers of Kasamatsu weren't all too happy being that their brother was leaving them. They knew it would eventually happen, but not so soon.
That said, when it was actually time for Kasamatsu to leave, the two boys clung onto him and refused to let go. It was when Kasamatsu promised to visit them once he got the time that really calmed them down.
When all five boys were finally at their home, a cleaning operation began. They hadn't unpacked, but instead suited up in thick gloves, dusk masks and wielded mops and brooms. They turned the place upside down, moving everything that could and in Kise's case, he left no stone unturned. It was then that the others found out that Kise was an annoying cleaning machine. At one point, Takao felt that Kise was similar to a fictional character and as such, he thought they should spice up their cleaning. He and the others schemed up to play with Kise.
While Takao was busy with one room, Kise had entered on a prompt from Kasamatsu who he was with.
"Levi-Heichou," Takao said in a low voice. Only Kuroko who was in the corner that held the camera could hear. "I'm finished cleaning. Is this okay?" He continued but said this in a louder voice. But the fact was, he wasn't finished, he just wanted to see the blond's reaction. There were still dust in parts of the room and Kise didn't miss it.
He walked into the room and swiped two fingers on the wall. With a twisted face, the blond said in a cold tone, "You can't be serious? Redo the whole thing." Before spinning on his heel and heading out. Kuroko and Takao erupted with laughter when the blond left.
But, their cleaning went on smoothly for the most part. When they were in the living room, Kise and Kagami were moving the TV and due to them arguing (over something petty) again, they had almost broke it. Takao and Kasamatsu were fast enough and threw two cushions from the sofa on the floor to save it.
"If you idiots are going to break anything, don't do it while I'm here." Kasamatsu hissed angrily.
"Yes Sir!" they shouted out.
At the end of it all, their house was sparkling, but they were exhausted. Kenji came at a later time, commenting on the look of the place. He even stated that they could re-paint it if they wanted. That statement was greeted with a blank stare and a vicious "No."
They weren't about re-painting. It's too exhausting. Plus, the walls were already painted in a beautiful green colour.
After Catal Rhythm freshened up, they headed out with Kenji for lunch. At first, they were happy but after, they had to buy groceries. This led to another war in the supermarket. Thankfully, Kasamatsu was swift and he quelled the arguing boys (although he was arguing too). They calmed down and worked things out, and as such, grocery shopping ended in peace.
Kenji had decided he wasn't going to intervene since he was just an innocent bystander. After all, people were staring.

The days and weeks continued to pass, and with it coming down to their début, Catal Rhythm was immersed in rehearsals and lessons. When it came onto their routines, Riko and Hyuuga somehow (without even realizing) became Hikaru's sadistic assistants, while the others became judges. While they knew nothing about music and choreography, the others only determined if they had enough energy and charm. Moriyama seemed to be an expert on this (especially the charm part) and gave them pointers; although if Kenji, Akamine or Ichinose weren't present, they wouldn't have taken him seriously.
There were also couple times when Amari and Hirose dropped in. With them being familiar with Catal Rhythm, they normally chat, but soon, they were introduced to Seirin and Kaijou and were shocked to hear that Catal Rhythm were basketball players. The two boys have always heard the group mention the sport, but thought that they did it in their pastime. Who would have thought that two of them were from a prodigious team, one defeated players from said team, and two were recognized point guards of high calibre?
"Well, shit." Amari and Hirose gave out in shock.
When January rolled around, everyone in the company were in high gear and it reminded Catal Rhythm of when the basketball season was starting. Everyone was making the finishing touches on their routines and getting their outfits done. On that note, Catal Rhythm met with Ruiko once again, and she designed some beautiful outfits which left the boys (minus Kise) in awe. Also, it was here that she solicited them for a photoshoot for her new designs. But thanks to Kenji's deal with Image One, Catal Rhythm were always first choice for when Ruiko needed male models.
That said, Catal Rhythm headed to another photoshoot, but this time they were less nervous than before. Kise rocked his as always, but the others did their best which was no less than stunning.
When it was the end of January, the teams had all got together for Kuroko's surprise birthday. The day was a success, and everyone present had a good time, even Tatsuya and Alex were present. Kenji, Amari and Hirose tagged along as well, Perfect 5th were tempted to attend, but they had a fan meeting scheduled for that day.
Still, the day ended in success.

February, 10, 2017
Long queues could be seen outside the Aihara Music Theatre, it was so much that lines had extended along the sidewalks. But this was nothing new to the staff that worked here. Every year they faced this, as a matter of fact, every time a concert was being held here, whether it was from the company or outside forces, there were staggering queue lines.
However, the idols inside the building had no idea what was happening outside. They were busy getting dressed and preparing for their performances, the débuting groups excited and overjoyed that finally, they were stepping out into the world as official idols.
"Alright boys, don't be nervous," Kenji started. "Go out there and do your best."
"Of course we will." Kuroko said with a small smile. "To be honest, if we hadn't performed with Perfect 5th at their concert, I think I'd be a mess right now."
The four nodded in agreement. Kenji sighed a relief. He had prepared a lengthy motivation speech for them, but it seemed that it wouldn't be necessary. But he was proud of them, in such a short space of time, they've evolved from simple high school basketball players to débuting idols. They've really come a far way.
Then a staff member entered the dressing room, and said, "Kenji-san, it's time."
"Well, boys, I'll see you on stage." He said with a grin. His five boys nodded as he exited. Kenji was dressed in a top-notch suit ―a dark blue blazer over a pink buttoned down shirt, tucked into white jeans pants. Kenji wore no tie; instead, he left a few buttons undone. On his wrist was a silver watch, and to complete the look, he wore fashion glasses.
His hair was well done as well, and at first, Catal Rhythm were shocked upon seeing their manager like this, as usually, he was in v-necks with jeans and sneakers.
By this time, the Theatre was packed with fans, many fan chants echoing inside. Seirin and Kaijou were already safely inside and had secured favourable spots. Catal Rhythm's parents and siblings were also in attendance. The Generation of Miracles were also in good seats due to Akashi getting them good tickets. Their teams had tagged along as well, so too Alex.
Kenji walked out onto the stage with his fellow co-host ―Kita Itsuki or Kit for short. Itsuki was dressed in a cream blazer jacket over a white and blue polka-dot shirt which was tucked into royal blue jeans. His belt and shoes matched the jacket.
"Welcome to Ai-Fest!" the two males said with enthusiasm. Immediately, the crowd erupted with cheers and the Theatre was enveloped in a deafening roar.
"I'm your loveable and oh-so dashing host, Kita Itsuki,"
"And your other loveable and oh-so dashing host, Aihara Kenji,"
"Oh please," Itsuki said as he rolled his eyes jokingly. "It's obvious that I'm the more dashing one here."
"Really now?" Kenji said, catching on quickly. He then turned to the audience of 30,000. "Who's the most dashing here? Me or Kit-kun?"
"Whoever the mic is directed at, give your cheer!" Itsuki said, he pointed his mic at himself. The crowd let out a cheer. Itsuki smirked after which he pointed his mic at Kenji. The crowd screamed.
"The Audience just love a man in pink, blue and white." Kenji said with suave.
"This is an outrage!" Itsuki said. "How could you all do this to me?!" he then pretended to cry.
"Well, as you all know, or should know," Kenji began, totally ignoring Itsuki. The other man immediately blurted out 'You meanie' at him. "We'll be débuting three male groups!" At that, the crowd screamed even more as if to signal their understanding. "But of course, all your favourite idols are ready to perform for you all! Perfect 5th is back from their tour; Triple Threat is here as well!"
"Sadly, Diverse are in the middle of their U.S tour and are unable to be with us." Itsuki said with a somewhat sad tone to his voice. The crowd let out an 'Aww'. "But don't worry; they still have prepared something for their loyal fans!"
Yet again, the crowd cheered.
"So, without any further ado, let's begin the twelfth edition of Ai-Fest!" Kenji said.
"The first segment we have 'Ladies First' and you know who that'll entail!" Itsuki said, his enthusiasm was spreading and infecting the audience. "Give it up for Triple Threat!"
Hearing the loud roar, the three females walked majestically onto the stage.
Back in the dressing rooms, Catal Rhythm were watching the events unfold on the TV present. And as usual, Kise and Takao were the most giddy-headed. Kagami rolled his eyes at their antics, Kasamatsu was busy on his phone, and Kuroko was reading a novel.
Triple Threat performed a total of five songs, but had a 'Selfie with the Idol' section after their performed their third song. Lucky fans who managed to get called up would be able to take selfies with all of Triple Threat or their favourite member only.
Kise and Takao were heartbroken at this, and nearly tore up.
"Damn! Those lucky bastards!" Kise swore, with tears running down his face. "I want to take a selfie with Hina-chan!"
"No way! Sayo-chan is prettier! I'd kill to have her selfie on my phone."
Kise's face darkened. "What did you say?"
"Oh, you heard me."
Kasamatsu, without even looking up from his phone could tell what was going to happen. "No fan wars." He said in a serious tone. "Everyone has a right to love whoever they see fit."
After Triple Threat's performance, all the débuting groups had to assemble at the wings, since it would their time to perform. Catal Rhythm were excited but nervous still, however, they planned to go out there and do their best.
"Alright, so next on our program, we have the débutantes! They're all males, so you know the testosterone level this year is quite high!" Itsuki joked.
"That's right, Itsuki. And they're pretty young too. There's hope, young ladies, there's hope." Kenji added with a chuckle. Even the audience laughed.
"Right," Itsuki said, "This six-member group is here to take the place by storm! Help us welcome, D:FI!"
The lights on the stage dimmed momentarily before sirens sounded. The lights came back on, and showed the members of D:FI and backup dancers (dressed like police) crouched down on the floor on one knee. As the music continued, they moved forwards by sliding on their knees to the left and right before standing up when they reached a certain point.
They folded their arms, seeming a bit imposing. On the left, there were three members in a diagonal, while on the other side there was Amari and another member. The boys had formed a 'V' while in the middle there were four backup dancers with Hirose at the back.
As the music continued, the two backups bent down while the other two held Hirose after which he placed his feet on their backs and jumped up and off.
Can you really call this a crime?
This was sung by Amari and another member as they got into formation. Hirose was in the middle, with the Amari and the others on the left and right.
Knock, Knock, I'm going in now
It's clear you're going to be shocked
I'm quickly going in; I'm quickly going in, trespassing
Hirose rapped this part, and as he did so, he along with the rest of the group kicked out their feet as though they were kicking down a door. Then, they moved backwards whilst shaking their feet after which they used their hands to make a triangle over their heads. It seemed to be signifying a house's roof.
After this they made little shimmy-like movements before coming closer together. The moment that happened, they swung their arms down in an arc, as though attempting to punch someone.
Can you really hate this?
Yet again, this was sung by Amari and the same member as before.
Knock, Knock, I'm going in now
It's clear your heart will pound
I'm quickly going in; I'm quickly going in, trespassing
Hirose came in again, but this time he slid backwards while the other members came up to the front in the same diagonal formation with the middle wide open with Hirose. And like before they kicked out their feet, but this time, they did something different. With one hand upwards, they placed another on their chest where the heart was. They moved one leg around in an arc so as to have the sides of their bodies face the audience. After, they made the same punching movement like prior.
"Man, that Knock, Knock though…" Takao said, tapping his feet to the beat.
"Yeah, Hirose is totally killing it out there." Kagami agreed.
"In terms of dancing, they're all killing it out there." Kuroko added. "I like their choreography."
"You don't want to see their video." Kise joined in. "Serious hardcore stuff."
They brought back their attention to the screen in time to see Amari in the middle with the others on both sides of him.
See how I'll take care of things
In my eyes,
Everything around you is a mess
It was Amari's time to shine, and he did so beautifully. The others around him had one hand on their chest at the heart and the other extended into the air, before shifting their positions.
Amari came closer as he sang, while Hirose and two others were at the back and another two were up close to Amari. Moving their hands into an arc to their right, they twist their bodies in the same direction, and continued their dancing.
"Amari's voice is beautiful." Kise said. "No matter how many times I hear him, I can never get tired of it."
"True." The others agreed.
"This song is pretty cool, though." Kasamatsu said. "Although it's quite edgy and strong, it's pretty cool. Especially Hirose's part."
"I know, right?"
D:FI continued their performance, going into the chorus. At that moment, the audience were singing along, especially at the Knock Knock part. It was extremely catchy. Even Seirin and Kaijou were singing along.
Then, it was Hirose's rap part.
I'm different from those pretty boys over there
Excuse me, excuse my charisma
I'm gonna be rude and enter your heart
My love knows no manners, excuse my charisma
At the front were Amari (on Hirose's right) and another member on his left. Hirose was in the middle while the other two members of the group were on his flanks. The backups were present also.
As Hirose began his rap, everyone else bent forwards after which they made a slight shoulder movement to straighten. Amari and the other member moved further outwards while two backup dancers came in closer to Hirose and his other members were closer to the back.
At this part of their routine, D:FI seemed like 'bad boys', Hirose rap was adding to the feel. On that note, the ash-blond owned the stage, making little hand gestures and movements as he rapped. Nearing the end, all members made a hop forward and continued their performance.
When they were finished some time later, the crowd roared and applauded. As D:FI headed backstage, Amari and Hirose immediately went to Catal Rhythm since they were called over.
"Man, the crowd is crazy out there!" Amari said with a heavy sigh. "I swear, I'm glad that our routine that had a leg shake! If not, people would notice how nervous I was!"
"I know right?!" Hirose joined in. "I thought I was going to piss myself! And all eyes were on me, too."
"Of course, Knock-Knock-san," Takao joked. By this time, the next group Starburst went on. They were formally known as 'Trilogy' and were only three members but now they've added two members to make it five.
And like D:FI, they had the crowd raving. But Catal Rhythm didn't get to see most of their performance due to a disturbance.
"Well, well, well," one member of D:FI said to interrupt the boys' friendly chatter. "If it aren't the boys who came through the back door. How does it feel to make it to a stage that everyone here had bust their ass off to get?" He had extremely light brown hair and dark eyes.
Hearing his tone, Catal Rhythm knew what he was insinuating. So, they didn't answer. After all, they had to work three times as hard than these guys.
"Oi, Nakajima, cut it out." Hirose snapped. His green eyes were blazing with anger.
"Cut it out?" Nakajima asked with a scoff. "I don't know how much money they paid to get here, but it isn't fair. And I don't like you guys, and never will."
Kagami lips were itching to answer the bastard. But Kasamatsu had him control by placing an index at his lips.
"Damn right, it isn't." Another piped in, taking a step closer to Catal Rhythm. "Why are you here? Do you have any idea how hard other trainees have been training?"
"Guys, seriously, stop." Amari said, his tone was icy and it seemed to have caused the temperature to drop. "Now isn't the time for this and if you have a problem why don't you express it to the President? He's willing to hear everyone out." He then added, "Why don't you all go take a shower, you stink." He didn't mean that they smelt foul, but he was referring to their behaviour.
"Stop behaving like you're the leader!" Nakajima retorted. "You're the youngest!"
"But what I said was not incorrect." Amari said, Hirose was beside him nodding in agreement.
Just then, Starburst had finished their performance and Catal Rhythm were called up. Doing breathing exercises, the five boys exuded a dangerous aura that sent chills down D:FI's spines. Everyone looked to Catal Rhythm who were walking away, but they could see that all five were really pissed.
"Come on boys; let's show them how we slay." Kasamatsu said loudly with a smirk.
Thank you for reading! Don't forget to leave a review!
