The men's arrival at the dorms
As all of the respective men arrived at the master course dorms, they all got out with the thought of why Ren Tsuruga would be meeting someone here. While at the same time Ren was still contemplating why Kyoko and her dear friend would be here.
As they all got out of their vehicles they were surprised to see the day room lights set low and random bright color flashes coming from that area.
As one, both groups, the actor and manager gave each other a bewildering look.
"Come on everyone. Let's go in and see what Nanami is doing!" Says Otoya, the redheaded member of Starish. While Reji Kotobouki, the brunette of Quartet Night, nodded his head and added, "I forgot about the party switch I had installed in the day room for fun."
"What party switch?" Ren Jinguji, Starish's blonde member and casanova, asked.
"Oh just had some disco balls and dancing lights installed to have fun parties with." Reji said cheerfully.
Both Ren and the singers all sweat dropped at the blasé way he answered the question.
With no other option, all the men gathered themselves and headed for the door. Strangely enough the closer they go to the entry door, the louder the noise inside became.
"Is that a KPop song?" Asked Syo, the shortest blonde of Starish.
Ai Mikaze of Quartet Night added, "According to my data the song seems to be Blood, Sweat, and Tears by the Korean group BTS."
"BTS!" All the men except Ren, the actor, exclaimed in shock.
With this new bit of information the men were in a rush to see what was going on inside the dorms.
The first one to the door was Ichinose, before he could open the door he heard a familiar voice inside, "Oh my god. He is so sexy, I can't pick just one! What do I do Tomo? I want them all!"
'That was Nanami's voice' he thought in agitation at the thought of her looking at other men. He didn't need anymore rivals, 19 was way to many.
It seemed like all the other men heard the same thing. They all had shocked looks on their faces, never having heard their little composer call anyone sexy.
However, the next voice would startle Ren Tsuruga "MOKO I don't what to do. Looking at them makes me feel all warm inside. Am I becoming a weak woman again! I can't help it they're all so beautiful!!"
Yashiro glances at Ren's face as he said "I do believe that was your darling Kyoko!"
'Darling Kyoko?' all the other men questioned in their heads. As far as they knew Ren Tsuruga was still the most eligible bachelor in Japan.
Shaking their heads they all decided to really go and see what was occurring now.
All the sudden they heard the song change to a slow, sensual beat.
Everyone looked at Ai in question. "This seems to be House of Cards also by BTS." He answered to everyone's questioning looks.
As they heard the song's start all men were questioning when their respective loves started listening to such sensual stuff.
Feminine squeals could be heard inside, along with female voices all exclaiming "KYAA...JIMIN, JUNGKOOK, TAEHYUNG, JIN!!! SO SEXY, I'M GOING TO DIE FROM A NOSE BLEED!"
With that final push Ichinose opened the door as everyone else piled in behind him.
All with a deathly aura at the words coming out of the female's mouths, or more the names.
As they all briskly walked to the day room, turned party room they were all met with a sight none ever thought to see.
Four females, two ginger headed girls, a red head, and a black headed girl all dancing to the sensual beat of the song being played through YouTube on the TV. They all wore gob smacked expressions as they took in two wine bottles, four wine glasses, and the four females all enraptured by the four men on the screen.
"Mogami-San!" Exclaimed the actor in shock, while all Yashiro could do is stare and blush with widened eyes at the Kyoko he knew acting different.
While all Starish and Quartet Night could do is blush as they watched their lady love dance scandalously to the beat of the song.
Before anyone could notice a new song started. It seemed to be a solo of one of the Korean group members.
"JIMIN!!!" Shouted all the girls as the singer started singing the lyrics to Serendipity.
Finally having gotten some wits back about him self the blue headed member of Starish, Masato, flicked the light switch up to bring the day room lights back to full power.
At the sudden bright lights, all four females froze in shock, and turned to face the door.
"Everyone!! Welcome back!" Said Haruka in a light voice with an embarrassed blush on her face.
While Kyoko looked panicked at the demon lord aura coming off Tsuruga-San. "Tsuruga-San, you're here already?" She stuttered.
"Well damn." Kanae said under her breath.
He could only nod as his manager seemed to have become soulless at the scene in front of him.
"We're home Haruka." Said Cecil, the brown haired prince of Starish.
"Ah..." Haruka giggled nervously, "I didn't expect you all back so soon."
'Seems like it' they all thought with some shock.
"Well little lamb, we all missed you and came straight home. Although we didn't expect to find you... well anyway we're home Lady." Said the blonde Ren, the singer not the actor, as a smirk started growing on his face.
"Anyway Nanami-San, would you mind kindly explaining what's going on here?" The purple haired Ichinose asked.
All the girls looked at each other and nodded. Tomo stepped forward while grabbing her wine glass to take a sip.
"So you see, I managed to get two P1 soundcheck tickets to BTS's concert at the Tokyo Dome tonight and brought Haruka with me for a girl's night out..."
At this point Kanae chimed in. "President Lory gave me two P1 soundcheck tickets as well and told me to take Kyoko, something about awakening her feelings of love again.." She trailed off at the look on the male actor's face.
'Oh dear the president is in for it now.'
"And how did that end up like this?" Ranmaru Kurosaki, the grey headed rocker of Quartet Night asked.
"Well as they were doing the opening stage, Kyoko and I bumped into each other and became friends, as well as Kanae and Tomo. So we decided to hang out for an after concert party here." Said Haruka quietly.
"Woman, the wine?" Asked Camus while trying to seem dignified, but failing slightly due to still being in shock.
"Yes kohai-chan do explain that one? And perhaps explain some of the things we heard coming in." Reji added with just a slight edge to his voice.
"Oh the wine, Tomo brought for the after party, and we decided to toast to new friends and decided that we'd have a glass or two while talking about the concert." Kyoko said with a slightly starry expression.
"I see." Ren T. Finally grated out.
"So we didn't know you girls were into Korean music groups..." Yashiro finally added.
"Oh well... you see, this is the first concert we've ever gone to by a foreign artist." Tomo said.
"So lady what about not picking one, and them all being too sexy?" Blonde Ren asked with a growing smirk on his face.
"He, he, he.. I kinda got caught in the moment.." Haruka trailed off with an even deeper blush.
"Yes Mogami-San, what was this about being a weak woman again?" Ren Tsuruga asked his love with a slight tone.
"Ah, don't worry senpai, I will never fall in love again. I'm always going to be working to be a kouhai that you can be proud of!" Kyoko said with conviction.
All the other men, and the three other females in the room stared at the actor's face as they saw the slight twitch at the ginger haired actress's words.
'I feel sorry for the poor guy' all the girls thought, while all the men felt slightly sorry for him, since it seemed he had the same problem of loving a woman who didn't notice.
"No, Mogomi-San. We're friends now remember? You agreed a few months back. Although I still wish you'd call me Ren instead of by my last name." The actor said as calmly as he could.
All others in the room could only wait for the ginger actress's reply. She didn't disappoint.
"Senpai I'm sorry. I'm such a terrible Kouhai. I'm not worthy of your time. I've made you angry." Kyoko wailed while leaping into a dogenza.
'Well shit that's no good' thought Ranmaru.
'Damn that man has it harder than us' all the singers thought as they watched the scene in front of them.
"Mo Kyoko, that's not what he said at all." Kanae sighed.
"Yes. Kyoko. Tsuruga-San was just simply was trying to be a good friend. Isn't that right Tsuruga-San" Haruka added with gusto.
Ren stared at the other ginger haired female for the first time.
"Ah yes, Nanami-San that's right." He replied with a calm even tone, now he could see what the men were all fighting over. If he didn't already desperately love Kyoko he may have fallen for her too. She seemed sweet and even tempered.
"Yes yes Kyoko. After how many good things you told us about him earlier, it's expected that you'd accept his offer of friendship." Tomo piped in trying to get the actor's gaze off Haruka, as the singers were all starting to look suspicious.
'Wait a minute, she talked about me to her friends? She said good things?'
Ren became happy at the thought, and started smiling a real smile. Kyoko mean while turned red when recalling the things she said about the man in front of her.
"I'm sorry for my overreaction Tsuruga-San. I will try to remember in the future to..." she trailed off as she started to vibrate with her phone again. The girls being used to it just watched the reactions of the boys. No one noticed the black aura coming from the actor.
"Mogami-San, why don't you answer that? We wouldn't want you to miss a call." Ren said with his fake smile.
"Oh yes... my phone." Kyoko said as she answered it. All the sudden her own aura became dark. " I have a job offer? A musical, Queen Records..." She glanced nervously at Ren, who's expression was becoming harder and harder. "I'll take some time to consider it. Yes I'll call you with an answer." Kyoko hung up and sighed. "That damn shotaro can't just leave me alone?" She whispered to herself.
Ren sighed, and Yashiro face palmed.
Just as the others were going to question the three, they all heard a loud booming laugh. "Muah ha ha. MISS Nanami." Said Shining as he popped up behind her.
"Ahhh!! Uh.. yes president!" She exclaimed from surprise.
"You have a new job. You will be working with a singer from Queen Records to compose songs for their musical. You will also compose a song for another group who may be taking part as well. Also Starish and Quartet Night will take part." Said Shining while looking at her in expectation from behind his glasses.
"Uh yes, of course president..." Haruka trailed off as the president disappeared.
"What?!" All the singers exclaimed.
"Haruka, you are going to compose for the musical?" Asked Kyoko with a frown on her face.
"It seems that way Kyoko.. Why?" Haruka asked.
All the sudden Tomo looked with widened eyes at Kanae as she remembered who Queen Records prize singer was. Sho Fuwa. All Kanae could do was nod sadly. None of the men in the room missed the silent look between the red haired and black haired girl.
"Kyoko, you can turn down the job offer. You don't have to play into his schemes..." Kanae trailed off.
"Umm, everyone excuse us. Kyoko, Haruka, Kanae... let's all go to Haruka's room and talk nee?" Said Tomo.
With that the other three females picked up Kyoko and walked her out of the room.
All eyes turned to the dark haired actor and his manager.
"Well shit, I guess I need to explain." Ren cursed as he ran his fingers through his hair in frustration.
Otoya spoke up to ask " Tsuruga senpai..."
"Just call me Ren everyone... I have a feeling we're all going to become allies. Anyway, to explain it... Kyoko had her heart broken quite viscously by her childhood friend, making her swear off love forever, which as you can tell is making earning her love difficult, but that's a different issue."
The group could only nod along, all feeling in their guts that this story would somehow be something that would involve Haruka's new job.
Ren continues" Her childhood friend dreamed of becoming a singer and ran away to Tokyo from Kyoto, bringing Kyoko along. He basically used her as a maid and a source of income till his career took off. After that he threw her away like she was trash..." Ren's voice was starting to get lower and more dangerous at this point. "She vowed to someday be more famous than him and make him regret hurting her. This caused her to come to LME, and force he way through the audition process. She actually made a good impression until the last test, when she revealed her hatred of love. Our president is a love fanatic and was heartbroken. She failed the audition because she was missing the feeling of love. Even after that, the president was interested in her potential, so he made a new section... the 'love me section' to help her gain back the 'lost feelings inside'. That's where we'll leave that part, anyway... Mogami and Kotonami went through an audition process together and became the next faces of the Curua commercial. After that Mogami got an offer to star as an angel in a certain..singer's...video. She had changed her appearance by this point and he didn't realize who she was at first. He eventually figured out who Mogami-San really was and started messing with her head again. Now his company is offering her a role in their musical along side him."
Ren finished with a tired expression.
"So you're saying, Mogami-San, was childhood best friends and in love with Sho Fuwa, and now that she is becoming well known he seems to be pursuing her..."
Asked Ichinose with a soft voice.
"So you're saying that she get's job offers from his company a lot, and he uses it as ploys to stay in her life?" Natsuki asked with a voice full of sadness.
"Yes, that's exactly how it seems to be." Replied Ren
"Well damn man, I thought we had it rough being rivals for the woman, but your situation is all kinds of fucked up." Ranmaru said.
Ai just looked at the actor "Why don't you just tell her you love her then?"
Ren laughed bitterly
"I wish I could but she's so adverse to love, that anytime I even get close to it, she seems to sense it and runs away."
"So if she accepts this job, she'll be working with all of us and Nanami-San" queried Masato.
All the men registered that conclusion at the same time.
"Ren-San, if that were to happen, trust us that she'd be in good hands with little lady. She's always been able to make the best out of anything. She'll do it again, and as a colleague... no as a man in a similar position, I'm sure we'll all help watch out for her." The blonde Ren said to the dark headed Ren.
The others could only nod and agree, understanding his situation completely.
"Thank you for that. I will trust that the woman I lo..love will be safe in the hands of the woman you all seem to love." The actor said with a small smile, when seeing the reaction of all the singers when Haruka was mentioned.
"I don't envy your situation. How many rivals are there?" He asked curiously.
"20, all Starish, Quartet Night, HEAVENS, Rin-San and Hyuga-senpai." Said Syo
Yashiro nodded, until he exclaimed"Rin-San? As in cross dressing idol Rin?"
Everyone nodded agreement.
Well damn, Ren guesses he couldn't complain only having two rivals.
He thought his life was interesting, but they put a whole new spin on it.
With the girls
All four females finally arrived to Haruka's room.
"So Kyoko, what are you going to do?" Kanae asked
"Umm girls, I don't exactly understand.." Haruka trailed off
Kyoko looked up with a bitter shine to her eyes. "Sho Fuwa was my childhood best friend and first love. He used me and threw me away like trash. Because of him I've sworn off love, even though I feel like perhaps I'm fall..." 'sigh' "Falling in love with someone who would never love me." She finished with a heartbroken expression.
"So you are in love with Tsuruga-San?" Tomo asked gently.
The ginger haired actress didn't know how to answer.
"I think that's a good thing Kyoko. New love, real love could help you heal. Tsuruga-San seems to genuinely care about you from what I've seen, so it may be time to give your heart a chance to heal." Haruka said sedately as she contemplated her own heart.
"Anyway that's not the issue right now, the issue is if Kyoko is going to accept the part in the musical from Fuwa's company.." Kanae said.
"Haruka, you have to compose the songs no matter what? Right?" Sighed Kyoko. Haruka and Tomo both nodded yes in answer to that question.
"Then I, Kyoko Mogami, will accept the part and work with my new friend who fate brought me to! As long as we stick together it'll be a fun project!" Kyoko said excitedly.
"Now that's settled... The boys did catch us doing something embarrassing, but now they're not here." Kanae laughed.
"Oh yes their expressions were priceless!" Haruka giggled with mirth.
"Poor Yashiro-San look like his soul left his body." Kyoko added breathless with laughter.
"I just wish we had finished our dance party!" Tomo sighed.
"I have a better idea! I need a new work out routine, and Kyoko needs to learn to learn to dance for this musical project. I suggest we start meeting as often as possible and start learning BTS's dances for fun! What do you say girls?" Kanae said
All four females looked each other in the face and laughed but all that was said
"Should we go save our wine?"
In the day room
Just as all the men finished their heart to heart, they realized the TV was still playing that damn music that had all the women in a tizzy earlier.
'Today we will survive'
All the men raised eyebrows at the video.
"I still can't believe Haruka said they were sexy, and wanted all of them..." Cecil trailed off.
"Yes quite shocking coming from our shy little lamb." Jinguji said with a smirk.
"Yes, quite a shocking display of hidden dancing talent too from Nanami..." Otoya said with a blush, recalling Haruka's body movements earlier.
All of the singers blushed with a look of shock on their faces, as if all sudden recalling it.
"Yes, quite shocking..." Masato added.
"But Haru-chan looked like she was having fun! Maybe I should get her to dance with me like that." Natsuki said with a happy smile on his face, all the while missing the glares directed at him.
"Perhaps I should take kouhai-chan to a club..." Reji was cut off before he could finish when the female in question walked in.
Haruka froze in place with a nervous giggle at the stares she walked into.
"Oh hello again everyone...I just came...to.." Haruka trailed off as the song on the TV changed again. Pied Piper started playing, and she couldn't help but notice it was the live recording from the muster. 'Oh dear' thought Haruka, remembering the dance moves that the Korean group used in part of this song.
"...mi? Nanami-San?" Questioned Tokiya when he noticed the blush on Haruka's face.
"OH YES... sorry the wine." She said as she grabbed the bottle and glasses and dashed off.
All the men, to include the actor and manager, stared in shock at the empty spot the ginger haired composer had been standing.
Camus was curious what could have distracted his heart's desire so and glanced to the TV. Just as BTS began the body rolling part of the Pied Piper choreography.
"Shit, turn that off fools!" He cursed.
All the others in the room looked at what he was starting at, and realized what had distracted the girl earlier.
All the men couldn't help being a little put out at the sight they recalled now.
"Little Lamb is becoming a wild fox.. yes I'll will for sure have to call her little fox now." Jinguji said as he shut off the TV.
All the men except the actor and manager glared at him.
'Yes my life has certainly become interesting' thought the dark haired Ren, when he glanced at the shit eating grin on the blonde haired Ren's face.
'Interesting indeed' was the thought on everyone's mind
