[Kairi's POV]
On the last night of the camp, the director throws a little party for all of us. He buys us a drink and had a little feast.
While the boys are having fun, Hiro borrows a guitar for a while.
Hiro: "Now Kai-chi.. tell a song..."
Me: "Nope. Not here."
Mina: "Geezz. they will not hear it since they are a little busy out there"
Hiro: "Just two songs Kai."
Mina: "Please Kai.. we really miss your voice"
Hiro: "Come on Kairi" *puppy eyes*
Me: "Just two songs okay."
Hiro: "Yup..."
Me: "Okay..."
Mina: "Then let's play Curtain Call. Taka's part is yours, Kai"
Me: "Seriously???"
Yeah.. I can't resist these two and somehow, I really miss singing with them. We sat a little far from them so that we're not going to destruct them. Hiro starts to play and we also start to jam.
In the last part of the song, Mutsu-san joins us.
Mutsu: "You guys are amazing. Mind if I join?"
Takamaru: "Nani? Nani kore?"
Mutsu: "Nahh you're gonna make it rain when you sing"
Takamaru: "That's harsh Mutsu-san"
Hiro: "Anyways, wanna try singing Yokubou?"
Mutsu: "Yokubou ni michita seinendan of One Ok Rock?"
Hiro: "Yup..."
Mutsu: "Sure!!!"
Hiro: "Kai about you?"
Me: "I'm okay with it."
Hiro: "Then... one, two, three, go"
For the last song, Mutsu and Takamaru join us. As usual, they leave me singing alone when there's a high note.
After finishing the song, we receive and applause from the boys who are now standing behind us. Gosh... this is embarrassing.
Kenta: "Now, we feel embarrassed to sing after hearing you guys sing together."
Daiki: "Ran-chan left the group" *laughs*
Ran: "Baka!" - Now they start to tease each other.
Kenta: "Shall we start a new game? Everyone should join, no but's"
Us: "Hai!!"
We're going to play "Ōsama" or what they called the King's game", everyone will draw a stick with numbers and the one who will get the stick with a crown sign, he will be the king and will be the one who will pick the questions on the bowl and ask it to the number he chooses.
As we start the game, the first one who picks the King is Yoshi-san.
Yoshi: "Number 5, here's your question."
Ryota: "Oh Kosuke-chan is 5!!"
When we know who is the number 5, Mina, Hiro, and I looked at each other.
Yoshi: "So...Kosuke-chan... If you can turn back the time, when do you ant go back and why?"
The three of us got silent, as Mina holds my hands but I assure her that I'm fine.
Kosuke: "It was 3 years ago... before I lost one of the most important people in my life."
Yoshi: "And why???"
He was silent for a moment as everyone is waiting for his answer. I didn't notice that I was clenching my fist.
𝑂𝑝𝑒𝑛 𝑑𝑜𝑜𝑟𝑠 𝑒𝑚𝑝𝑡𝑦 𝑎𝑟𝑚𝑠
𝐷𝑜𝑛'𝑡 𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑘 𝑏𝑎𝑐𝑘 𝑛𝑜 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔
Kosuke: "So that I can still hold her, make her smile... make her happy."
Tomoya: "Owww, a girl huh..."

Mina looks at me, as I start to relax my fist. As the game continues, I'm trying to avoid his gaze on me while making myself busy talking to others.
Kenta: "Oh... My turn! Number 12, answer my question.
I look at the stick I got and holy mother of sh*t
Mina: "Kai-chiiii"
Kenta: "Oh Kairi-chan... here's your question... What would you like to say to yourself from 3 years ago?
Me: "Myself 3 years ago?"
Kenta: "Yup"
3 years ago...

Daiki: "Owwww.."
Kenta: "That's too serious huh..."
Mina and Hiro smirk at me as I wink at them.
Hiro: "As expected of Izumi Kairi"
We draw sticks again for the last time and I wonder who will be the king for this one.
Daiki: "FINALLY!!!!!!! Ey number 20... reveal yourself. " *laughs*
Taichi: "Ran-chan!!!"
Mutsu: "This should be a special one Daiki"
Kenta: "It should be since it will be the last one."
Daiki: "So Mr. Ran Takahashi, please stand here on the center to take the last question"
Ran, stands as he and goes to the center.
Daiki: "Owww...." - Daiki start to giggle after he reads the last question
Kenta: "What is it?"
Kenta: "Oh my God... this is exciting."
Ran: "Hey... just ask now..."
Daiki: "Ran-chan, did you already find the girl you wanted to spend the rest of your life with?"
The boys start to tease and cheer Ran. I think these guys really had a deep bond with each other.
Kenta: "Ran-chan your answer..."
Takamaru: "Everyone is waiting Ranie-chi"
Ryota: "Don't be shy Ran-chan"
Shoto: "Hurry Ran" *chuckles*
Ran: "I guess I already found her." - he looks at me as a smile forms on his lips.
LIKE WHAT THE HELL IS THAT RAN TAKAHASHI.
The boys start to jump as they won on the lottery while Daiki is shaking Ran.
Mina: "Owww... why are blushing baby Kai?"
Me: "I'm not"
Hiro: "I got proof sweetie"
Me: "Hey.. stop teasing me"
Mina: "We're not teasing you baby" *chuckles*
Kenta: "Wa-wait guys! There's still a follow-up question written here"
Ran: "Hey you're lying! That's unfair"
Kenta: "There is"
The boys get silent again as they are waiting for Daiki to speak again.
Daiki: "Ran-chan... did you have a chance on her?"
Ran: "ano..."
Boys: "anoo???"
Ran: *blushed* "I-I already asked her about it ..."
Boys: "then???"
Ran: "I told her I was serious about it?"
Boys: "Then???"
Ran: "I was waiting for her response but I'm not in rush. II want her to take her time."
Boys: "THENNNN????"
Daiki: "If she says yes?..."
Ran: "Ahmm... If she answers yes..."
Boys: "..."
Once again, he looks at me with sincerity in his eyes.
Ran: "I'll promise that I'll make her happy, support her, protect her and cheer her. I'll be her number one fan." *smiles*
Boys: "WOAHHH!!!!!"
After I heard his words, I feel butterflies in my stomach. So this is he was really serious about it.
Mina: "Did Hiro and I miss something?"
Me: "Nothing..."
Hiro: "Well, whatever your decision is, we'll support you and we will be happy of course" *smiles*
Kenta: "Now everyone cheers!!!"
Us: "Cheers!!!"
After a little jamming, we start to clean the mess we made here.
Kosuke: "Kairi... can I have a minute with you?" - I look at him dully.
Me: "What is it?"
Kosuke: "Is you and Ran-san already dating?"
Me: "It's none of your business I guess"
I start to get the used cups and throw them in the trash.
Kosuke: "Kai wait"
Me: "What?"
Kosuke: "I'm sorry"
Me: "It's already over Kosuke, It's been two years"
Kosuke: "Kai... I still love you"
𝑇𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑖𝑡, 𝑛𝑜 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑜𝑛 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑚𝑒 𝑡𝑜 ℎ𝑜𝑙𝑑 𝑜𝑛
Me: "Kosuke, stop."
Kosuke: "Kai.."
Me: "Everything was over two years ago and you cannot turn back the time to fix it."
Kosuke: "I just want to tell you that I still love, I know that you will not forgive for I have done before, But still, I'm sorry Kairi"
Me: "I need to go."
I turned my back to him as I go to where Taichi and Daiki is waiting for me since they ask and I promised them that I'll take some photos for them.
I already had no reason to hold on to it.
I already let go of it.
Right now, I want to take a new step again.
If he really mean what he said to me...
then I will not hold back from falling in love with him.
