Now that everyone is at the airport, they will all listen to the assistant to Kofumi's briefing regarding their trip to Paris. The assistant to Kofumi begins by explaining the itinerary for their trip, highlighting the must-visit landmarks and cultural experiences in Paris. Additionally, they provide important information about transportation, accommodation, and safety measures to ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey for everyone.
"Tenn, I'm here to remind you again. You have to be more aware of your relationship with Nanase Riku. You already know what happened when it spread to the media. You better watch out for yourself and do well for the trip." Sousuke said it with a harsh voice.
"Yes, don't worry about that." Tenn said it confidently. "I understand the importance of maintaining a professional image, and I will make sure to keep my personal life separate from our trip to Paris. I appreciate your concern and will take it seriously."
"When we arrive there, we will head to the villa first to check in and take a break before Nanase-san starts with his first live show. Nanase-san's first partner will be Kujou-san in the evening after Nanase-san's first live show. You will be sent there to practice the script," said Kofumi's assistant.
I got it," Tenn said with a nod.
"I will try my best!" Riku said it with a smile.
The crew is making their preparations. Iori and Tsumugi continue to inform Riku about his health and medication. Riku was irritated by it, but he was relieved that they cared about him.
"Nanase-san, did you bring your inhaler with you? " Iori ask.
Yes, of course, thanks to other members for reminding me this many times." Riku said it gratefully. "I appreciate everyone's concern," he added, feeling touched by their thoughtfulness.
"That's good to hear. Anyway, Nanase-san, if you're tired, please don't work too hard." Iori said it clearly. Riku nodded.
"Don't worry, I will let you know," Riku said with a smile.
--
The flight to Paris takes nearly an hour. Riku did not sleep because he needed to memorise the script before arriving at the shooting location. Tenn's seats are close to Riku's. Everyone has already dozed off. When Tenn opened his eyes, he saw Riku still reading his script. Tenn wants to talk with Riku, but he can't in order to maintain the image. Tenn doesn't want it to happen again.

"Please keep this information between the two of us, Rohuya Nagi. Not even your manager should know, so keep it a secret. When you arrive, all you have to do is keep an eye on Riku." In a serious tone, Nori said it.
"You didn't come?"
"Don't worry, I will be there, but I need to settle down on something. Aren't Kofumi-san already calling a medical for RIku?"
"But I thought Mr. Kichiro would handle Riku?" Nagi confused,
"Kofumi-san is hiring another medical team in case anything happens in the set." Nori explains little by little. "Actually, Riku did request that we go with them as their medical team; even Takanashi-san wanted us to join them, but Kofumi-san refused Riku's request.". Nagi seems to feel something wrong about this. Why would they refuse Riku's request?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Sougo was the one who sat next to Riku. He just opened his eyes and looked at Riku, who hadn't slept yet.
"Riku-kun, are you still reading your script?" Sougo asked.
Oh, Sougo-san, did I bother your sleep? I am sorry. Riku said.
"Not really, but Riku-kun, you should at least. Take a rest too. You will have no time to rest when we get there. You have to shoot a live show once we arrive there." Sougo said he was worried about Riku.
"Don't worry, I will be fine. Paris's weather is good around here. I am really sure I will be fine." Riku said it with a smile.
"But still, you shouldn't push yourself too much, Riku-kun.
"Okay, I appreciate you looking after me." Riku said this while grinning at Sougo. Sougo nodded, his concern evident in his eyes.
"Just promise me you'll take it easy once we're done with the live show. You deserve some time to relax and enjoy Paris too." Riku chuckled softly, appreciating Sougo's caring nature.
"I promise, Sougo-san. After the live show, I'll make sure to take some time for myself and enjoy everything Paris has to offer." Riku said.
After a few hours on the plane, Riku leaned back in his seat, feeling a mix of excitement and exhaustion. Sougo glanced over at him, noticing his fatigue. "Make sure you get some rest on the flight, Riku-kun. You've been working so hard lately," Sougo suggested, his voice filled with genuine concern. Riku smiled gratefully and nodded, appreciating Sougo's thoughtfulness.
"Let's head to the villa first. Nanase-san, you should get ready for the shooting in an hour." Kofumi said to Riku, reminding her of their tight schedule. Riku nodded, feeling a surge of adrenaline as he mentally prepared himself for the upcoming shoot. He knew that, despite the exhaustion, this was an opportunity he couldn't afford to miss. "Kujou-san will be joining you when we get to the next location after three scenes of the places, while Yuki-san and Momo-san are in charge of the food live show," Kofumi said.
While waiting for Riku and Re:vale's live show to end, other members, who are staying at the villa for their own trip activity, are talking about their work. They all live in the same spacious villa. The villa provides a comfortable and relaxing environment for the members to unwind and bond after their busy schedules. As they chat about their work, they also share tips and advice, creating a supportive and collaborative atmosphere among them. Banri and the rest of the crew will stay there to help them.
-=-=-=-=-
"I'm just done with cleaning the room for everyone to sleep! " Tamaki said it proudly.
"Tama, thank you. Now that our lunch break is approaching, you can assist Sou with the plate and cup," Yamato said in his capacity as the group's leader.
"Kay!" In response, Tamaki went to Sougo to assist him in setting the plate and cutting it on the table. As Tamaki helped Sougo with the plates and cups, the rest of the crew began setting up the dining area for lunch. They worked together efficiently, each member knowing their role and contributing to the task at hand. The atmosphere was filled with a sense of camaraderie and teamwork, creating a positive environment for everyone involved.
Iori and Gaku are busy preparing for the game. They notice hidden cameras all over the place.
"Yaotome-san, did you see it too?" Iori asked with a whisper.
"Of course I saw it too. They mention it behind the scenes of this trip, but I already knew that they actually took advantage of it to find some secret. to expose around the world." Iori nodded in agreement, his eyes scanning the room for any more hidden cameras. "It seems like they're trying to uncover something big."
He whispered back. "We should be careful and stay vigilant." They exchanged determined glances, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead in their mission to protect their secrets.
"How about asking Kofumi-san directly?" Iori said, suggesting a more direct approach to uncovering the truth. However, they both knew that Kofumi-san was a master of deception and would not easily reveal their true intentions. They would need to proceed with caution and gather more evidence before confronting him directly. Gaku agree.
"Guys? Did you see Nagi somewhere?" Mitsuki ask. The other member just realised that Nagi wasn't around.
"I am here, everyone! Sorry for the confusion," Nagi called out from behind them, causing everyone to turn around in surprise. "I was just checking something in the other room."
"So you see that too, right, Rokuya-san?" Iori ask,
"yes"

Riku had just finished his first live show when the filming began. He takes a seat and tries to relax, knowing they will be moving in a few minutes to another spot. As the crew prepared for the next scene, Riku couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. He knew that each new location brought new challenges and opportunities to showcase his talent. With a deep breath, he focused on staying present and giving his best performance, ready to embrace whatever came next. Tenn will arrive there later. Riku held his chest as it hurt because of his asthma. Despite the pain in his chest, Riku remained determined to push through and give it his all. He had learned to manage his asthma over the years, and he refused to let it hinder his passion for acting. Taking a moment to calm his breathing, he reminded himself that he was prepared for any obstacles that may come his way on set. Riku still remembers what Kichiro said about Riku's health results. Day by day,Riku got worse because of his illness, but he never let it dampen his spirits. He continued to work hard and pursue his dreams, seeking medical advice and exploring different treatment options to improve his condition. Riku's resilience and determination served as a constant reminder that nothing could stand in the way of his passion for idols.
-=-==-=-=-=-=-=--==-=-=-=-=--=
"Riku, your condition is worsening. You'll get tired quickly and need to rest more, said Kichiro.
But that still can't stop me from going to Paris, right?" Riku said it with a determined look in his eyes. He knew that his health was deteriorating, but he refused to let it hinder his dreams of experiencing the magic of Paris. Riku was determined to make the most of every moment and create unforgettable memories, no matter the obstacles he faced.
"You can go there, but you can't work too hard. Your life might be in danger once you force yourself too much and are not aware of your condition. It's important to prioritise your health and listen to your body, Riku," his doctor advised. "Take breaks when needed, and make sure to have a support system in place while you explore Paris. Enjoy the beauty of the city, but remember to take care of yourself too."
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
"That implies that I don't have time. I can't stop thinking about those thoughts, no matter how hard I try," Riku said alone.
"Riku,please help me tell Tenn about this..."
"Oh! I should tell Tenn-nii about what mom and dad left for him!" Riku said. Suddenly, there's someone approaching Riku.
"Riku-kun, I was asked to give you this," that person said, who was wearing a crew shirt.
"It's from who?"
"From your groupmate, they said you need to get more rest," that person said, handing Riku a drink and taking it.
"Thank you so much!" Riku said it with a smile. That person left Riku first.
Riku investigates some unusual drinks from the Parisian brand. He's not sure if it's to his liking. He was about to drink when he opened the bottle. Riku came to a halt when he saw Tenn arrive. Riku put the bottle away and went to greet Tenn.
"Te- Kujou-san! It's really nice to work with you today! I hope we can work together!" Riku said he was happy. Tenn only gives a cold stare. Riku's smile faded slightly as he noticed Tenn's cold stare, but he tried to remain positive. "Well, even if Tenn-nii doesn't seem too thrilled about it, I'll do my best to make today a successful live show," Riku thought to himself. Even though Riku is feeling down,he needs to think about why his brother did this to avoid any rumours spreading like last time.
=--=-=-=--==-==--=-==-=-=-=-==-=-=-==-
At the villa, "Hey! Let's watch Riku-kun and Tenn's live show!" Ryunosuke spoke excitedly to the group of friends gathered at the villa. The others eagerly agreed, hoping that Riku and Tenn's performance would be a success and bring back their usual harmonious dynamic.
"They will live at the best restaurant in Paris, right? " Yamato asks.
"Yes, after that, Riku-kun will be living alone at the Philharmonie musical theatre," Sougo said.
"Rikkun must be tired after the long day of work today." Tamaki said he was worried about Riku.
"As far as I know,before he got here, Riku was already working at a radio station and on a live talk show, right? Is he really getting proper rest before he continues his job here?" Momo ask.
"He's not; Riku-kun was busy reminicing his script before the shows." Sougo explains what Riku is doing on the plane. The other member worries about Riku if he is pushing himself without anyone knowing.
"Maybe we should talk to Nanase-san and make sure he's taking breaks and getting enough rest. It's important for his health and well-being." Iori suggests being concerned about Riku's workload.
Everyone agreed with the idea and started to go buy something for dinner. Riku and Tenn are still doing their best in the live show. After finishing the scene,the crew tells Riku to get ready for the next location.
"Nanase-san,get ready for the next location!" staff said. Riku was at his limits, but he didn't want to show it. He kept pushing himself, determined to give his best performance. However, deep down, he knew that he needed to listen to his body and take a break before it became too much for him to handle. So he just walked to the van. Tenn only watch Riku.
-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=--=-==-=
Around this time, the member appears to be getting ready for dinner and eagerly anticipating Riku's return from work. They were having a conversation while waiting for Riku, and suddenly Riku sent them a message through the rabbit chat.
"I am sorry everyone, I have a sudden interview show. Just have dinner without me. I'll be fine," was what Riku sent to them.
"Wait..what?? seriously?" Mitsuki said he wasn't satisfied with it.
"Nanase-san's schedule should be free around dinner. Why would he have a sudden interview? Didn't the director know about the schedule he made?" Iori questioned, furrowing his brow. Mitsuki nodded in agreement, feeling a sense of unease settle over the group. They couldn't help but wonder if there was something more to Riku's sudden interview than he was letting on.
"That's right!!" Tamaki agree.
"Tenn Aren't you saying something?" Gaku, look at Tenn.
"Why would I?" Tenn gave a cold expression and replied, his voice laced with indifference. "It's not my place to question Riku's decisions or the director's actions. We should trust that there is a valid reason for this sudden interview." Gaku and Tamaki exchanged glances, unsure of whether to accept Tenn's response or continue probing for answers. But then Gaku almost forgot about the hidden camera. Maybe that's why Tenn said something harsh towards Riku directly as a brother. The other members didn't notice the camera yet, except for Iori. Gaku is giving a signal to Iori.
"Then, let's just have dinner without Nanase-san. Make sure to leave for him too," Iori said. They were confused and thought that Iori was agreeing with Tenn all of a sudden.
After having dinner, Iori quickly went to the bathroom and started a new group chat without Riku.
Iori: I'm sorry for doing this so suddenly...
Mitsuki: Iori? Why is Riku not here?
Gaku: It's because this is only a temporary group for telling you guys about the hidden camera around.
Momo: No wonder I feel watched!
Yukito: Tell us where the camera is located.
Iori: I haven't confirmed where they placed them, but I do have an uneasy feeling about this.
Tenn: Then let's just keep your eyes open and confirm any suspicious activity. We should also try to find any hidden cameras ourselves to ensure our privacy. Sorry for saying such things before, because I know there's a hidden camera.
All :Understood.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
It's almost the middle of the night; Riku is just at the villa. Riku was very tired and wanted to lay on the bed so badly, but he ended up lying on the floor.
Argg.. I'm so tired, and I don't have much energy to go to my room... Tenn-nii will thank me for staying here. Riku muttered to himself, feeling a mix of exhaustion and apprehension. He couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off about the villa, making him hesitant to go to his room.
After a few hours,Tamaki wakes up and heads to the kitchen. He suddenly saw a black creature on the floor. Startled, Tamaki takes a step back, his heart pounding in his chest. He squints to get a better look. He quickly got Sougo. Sougo thought it was serious, so he came too. When they look at the creature again, they realise that the black creature is actually Riku, fast asleep on the floor. Confused and concerned, Tamaki rushes over to wake him up and make sure he's okay.
"Riku-kun!! You shouldn't sleep here!" Sougo panicked and helped Riku head to his room.
"I'm sorry. I'm just tired." Riku said as his eyes were still close.
The next morning,Iori and Nagi confirmed the time when they set up the hidden camera. Mitsuki and Yukito already woke up because it was their turn to do breakfast.
"Nanase-san hasn't come back." Iori looks around.
"He did,but he already left early this morning for the intro video," Sougo said with a concerned expression. "I hope he's feeling better after last night."
"What? He left again when he hadn't gotten enough rest." Mitsuki said.
"What happened last night?" Iori ask.
"Rikkun, sleep on the floor. I thought it was someone else," Tamaki said.
"What?! Am I hearing it wrong?" Tenn were shocked. "What happened last night?" Tenn asked, concerned about Riku's well-being. Tamaki then explained that Riku had slept on the floor due to mistaking someone else. Tenn, shocked by the revelation, couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"We are relieved that Riku-kun didn't have any attacks yesterday when he slept on the floor." Sougo said to Tenn:
"Will Riku stand by that limit?" Nagi is wondering about Riku. All of them are wondering about Riku handling so much there.
"I did give him a breakfast box when Riku-kun left." Sougo said.
"Then, if I'm not mistaken,Tamaki had partner business with Riku in the afternoon, right? I will make something for him to eat lunch," Mitsuki said, as he is always taking care of everyone.
"I will make sure that Riku gets enough rest!" Tamaki said it determinedly. He had noticed how exhausted Riku seemed lately and wanted to support him in any way he could. As the group continued to discuss their concerns for Riku, they all agreed to offer their help and make sure he felt supported during this challenging time. Iori's expression suddenly changed as he became curious about something.
"But I was a little bit curious about this project. Something was wrong with it." Iori's mind was thinking about why, all of a sudden, only Riku got a lot of work and a job, and the sponsor didn't want anyone else? Iori's suspicions grew as he pondered the possible reasons behind Riku's sudden influx of work and exclusive job offer. He wondered if there was a hidden agenda or ulterior motive behind the sponsor's decision to solely support Riku. Nagi also notices something about this project.
At the shooting location,Riku looked so tired after standing for too long. Tamaki will arrive soon because it was Tamaki's turn to partner in a live show with Riku. Then, 3 hours later,Tamaki finally came and finished with his make-up. Tamaki gives Riku a lunch box.
"Rikkun,you should rest more and eat this. Mikki did this for you." Tamaki said as he gave the lunch box to Riku.
"Thank you very much! Tamaki, how about we eat together?" Riku said as he smiled at Tamaki.
"I already finished mine," Tamaki said.
"Don't worry, you already knew that I don't eat much." Riku said. Tamaki finally gave up and joined Riku as well, but suddenly the staff came to Riku.
"Nanase-san,sorry for bothering your lunch time, but your shooting location time got changed to 1 hour from now," staff said as she was reading the schedule.
"what??!! Didn't you check it properly? Rikkun is just having his-" Riku stopped Tamaki from speaking more.
Alright, I will be there. Then, after that,Tamaki will pair up with me as per the schedule, right?" Riku said. The staff nodded.
"But Rikkun..." Tamaki really worries about Riku's condition right now. "But Rikkun, are you sure you're feeling up to it? Maybe we should reschedule or find a replacement," Tamaki expressed his concern for Riku's well-being. Riku smiled reassuringly at Tamaki and replied, "I appreciate your concern, Tamaki, but I'll be fine. Let's stick to the schedule and get this done."
=--==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-
At the restaurant and the tourist street, all of them are divided into a few groups to visit various places.
"Aren't Riku-kun going to have to join us right now? I mean,he still has time before his next shooting, right?" Sougo said.
"Tamaki-kun, too." Ryuunosuke add.
"Nagi, you look so stressed about something. Are you not enjoying this trip?" Yamato asked, as he was really worried about Nagi.
Nothing; I enjoy everything about this trip." Nagi said as he changed his expression from a stressed one to a more relaxed and contented one. "I'm just thinking about some personal matters, but it's nothing that would ruin my enjoyment of the trip."
Iori notices that Nagi has become weird and sensitive. Iori bet it must be part of Riku's matter. Nagi's phone rang, showing a message from someone. He opened it, and it was from Nori. Riku really hasn't stopped working since they came. At dinner time,Riku's shooting should end easily, so Yamato and Yukito finally decide to pick Riku this time. They ask the driver to bring them to Riku's place.
"So, we are heading to Riku-kun's shooting place, right?" Yukito ask.
"Yeah, this time the member told me to pick Riku. So if they still put Riku into some work,we can stop them and refuse everything." Yamato explain.
"I see, but I do feel uneasy sometimes towards this project. Why do they only put Riku-kun under a lot of burden for the live show? We can even enjoy the time while Riku-kun is struggling." Yukito said
"Yeah, it does seem unfair to put all the burden on Riku for the live show. It would be nice if we could all share the workload and have a more enjoyable experience together," Yamato agreed. "I have been wondering why they set up the trip for us but only focused on Riku for their live show..."
"Or because Riku-kun won the award?" Yukito state.
"I don't think it's only for that reason... but can you do me a favour, Yuki-san?" Yamato ask.
-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==--=
At the shooting place, Riku takes a seat near the river. He can finally breathe relief after finishing his work for today, so he decides to reward himself by enjoying the night river scene alone. Riku got a message about Yamato, and Yukito came to pick him up. He can't wait to meet them. While waiting for them,Riku wants to take a nap because he really feels so sleepy and lonely at the same time. He was about to close his eyes.
Someone is standing there with a black mask on. Quietly approach Riku. With his hand aiming at Riku's neck, the stranger carefully leaned out to touch him.
"So you're still following Riku everywhere, even here too?" Nagi said who appeared suddenly. That man was chuckling and looking at Nagi.
"You always come on time, Royal Prince, Rokuya Nagi-san, that man said.
"why? Did you hate it? I came at the right time." Nagi asked, smirking.
"Why would I hate it? I am glad that I could meet you again," that man said playfully.
"You must be a genuine person."
"yeah?" That man said that as he slowly made his move to run away from Riku.
"Don't move; we should talk a lot about this, man." Nori said who just appeared from behind that man.
"Look, who's coming? I didn't expect that you could be here. Ono Nori-san," that man said while finding out that it was funny for him.
"You know already. That's why you refuse Riku's request for a personal doctor, so you can take your chance on Riku." Nori said.
"You are very smart too, Ono Nori-san,or should I call you a young master? But at this time, you should be worried about your beloved Nanase Riku right now."
Nori and Nagi didn't catch what he meant. When Nagi saw blood dripping from Riku's hand,he found the syringe under Riku's seat. His eyes widened in shock as he quickly realised what had happened.
"Riku! He's been injected with something!" Nagi exclaimed, his voice filled with concern. Nori's heart raced as they both rushed to Riku's side, desperately hoping it wasn't too late to save him.
"Shit!!" Nori cursed. He quickly held Riku's hand and found the pulse, relieved to feel a faint but steady beat. Panic still gripped them as they frantically searched for any signs of what Riku had been injected with, praying that they could find a way to counteract its effects. Nori shouted for help, but Nagi stopped him at the same time. Yukito and Yamato just arrived and saw Nagi. They saw that Nagi and Nori were rushing.
"We should bring Riku to the hospital!" Nagi said this to Yamato and Yukito.
"Don't worry,just help me bring Riku to the car, and I know where the hospital is!" Nori said it with urgency in his voice. Yamato and Yukito nodded in agreement and quickly followed Nori's lead, carefully carrying Riku towards the car. As they hurriedly made their way to the hospital, a glimmer of hope flickered in their hearts, praying that they would reach there in time to save their friend.
-==--=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--==-
At the hospital,Kichiro and Kou were here working as Riku's personal doctors, and even their request got rejected. Nori and the other just arrived and quickly got Kichiro to check on Riku. Nori anxiously explained the situation to Kichiro, pleading for him to do whatever it took to save Riku's life. Kichiro, understanding the urgency, immediately rushed to examine Riku, determined to give his best effort in this critical moment. It's a relief that Kichiro is able to speak any language. So he can ask other doctors too and bring Riku to the emergency room.
=--=--=-=-==--==--==-=-=-=-=-
After a few hours in the emergency room, Kichiro and Kou just left the room.
"How's Riku?" Yamato asks.
"I just moved him to the VIP room. So that room will be guarded by my man. Anyway, about Riku, he is stable." Kichiro said.
"VIP room? why?" Yukito ask.
"It's just for Riku's safety after what happened today." Nori explain.
"Riku is stable right now, but he will wake up after a few days. Kou will monitor Riku for one month until I can confirm the cause." Kichiro state.
"Why? Is that injection dangerous? Is that related to poison?" Nagi ask.
"It's too early to say for sure, but there are some suspicions that the injection may have been tampered with. We're running tests to determine if there was any poison involved," Kichiro responds. "We want to ensure Riku's safety and get to the bottom of this incident."
"Aren't the injections usually administered as anaesthesia?" Nagi inquires, puzzled.
"Yes, they are typically used for anaesthesia," Kichiro confirms. "However, in this particular case, we suspect that something may have gone wrong during the administration process or with the medication itself. That's why we're investigating further to rule out any potential risks or foul play."
".." Nagi and the others were speechless. Kichiro smiled and laid his hand on Nagi and Nori's shoulders.
"Don't worry about this; I will do my best for Riku too. After all,he was like my child too." Kichiro smiled. "You guys can stay here for a while. Make sure to inform your manager too." They nodded.
"Thanks for coming," Nagi said as he bowed at Kou and Kichiro.
"You don't need to thank me; Riku is my family too. We really don't have any choice but to protect him no matter where he is." Kou said. "Anyway, I want to take my leave first. I need to check on something. See you later."
All of them are leaving the room. Yamato and Yukito look at Nagi and Nori. "We need some explanation for this thing happening." Yamato said.
Nagi and Nori exchanged a glance before Nagi spoke up. "I understand your concern, but unfortunately, I can't disclose all the details at the moment. Just know that we are doing everything we can to ensure Riku's safety and resolve this situation as soon as possible." Nori said. "Rest assured, we will keep you updated with any relevant information that we can share."
-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--==-=-=-=-=-=-=--=
"Guys? Where are you?" Riku was alone in the empty room. "Anyone?", Riku kept walking, searching for everyone, but still no one gave a response.
Riku!" a familiar female voice Riku turned around and saw his mother again.
"mom! you come back!" Riku said as he hugged his mother. Suddenly, he was standing in the middle school.
"Hey, did you hear that Nanase Riku in our class got special treatment?"
"Ahh, yes, as far as I know, he is always absent without telling the reason why."
"teacher didn't scold or ask him about his absence. Sometimes he only comes 1-2 times in 2 weeks. Sometimes he just comes to school when he wants to attend."
"But I'm just curious: how can he do better in exams and even get the best grade even though he is absent all the time? Don't you think that the school actually used the tricky"
-=--=-=-=-=-
"I said stop!" Riku said as he opened his eyes. Kou still hugs Riku to cool him down.
"Riku-chan! I'm here," Kou said while caressing Riku's hair.
"I'm scared. I told them to stop bothering me," Riku said as he was crying.
In the shooting plan, it was supposed to be Riku and Momo for the live show, but since Riku is at the hospital,they want to make some new plans.
=-=-==-=--=-===--==--==-=-=-
"what!! Riku at the hospital? " as Tenn were shocked.
"Calm down first and take a deep breath! Please listen to Nori-san first." Tsumugi said. Everyone should stay and listen to Nori's explanation.
"At first, I didn't want to tell everyone about this, but for Riku sake, actually, Riku is in danger right now," Nori said with a serious tone.
"How can you explain this to make us understand what you mean?" Iori ask.
"Let me do that," Nagi said as he approached them.
"You already know about this, Nagi?" Mitsuki asked, raising an eyebrow in surprise.
"After doing some research and investigating with the police, we found out something unexpected. At first, we were very confused and curious when we got a few clues that were evident. It's really led us to the suspicious man." Nagi said.
"What did you get?" Tamaki asked.
"Before that, please allow me to say something." Iori raised his hand.
"It seems like you know about that too." Nori expects perfection from Izumi Iori.
"Yes, that's right. I notice that Nanase-san always gets so many offers and jobs, and as everyone knows,Nanase-san is not the type of person who will refuse the job. So in my well regconice about Kofumi-san part of this plan to made Nanase-san out.But I believe Kofumi-san was actually forced to do this." Iori explains it better.
"They use Riku's weakness. Riku is the type who is willing to do everything as long as he can do anything." Tenn said. "Then how about the hidden camera?"
"They used to find Nanase-san's point to spread the rumour around." Iori said it with a serious expression.
"That's perfectly right, Izumi Iori. In my investigation, Kofumi was forced to obey their order because Kofumi had a debt," Nori said while showing the evidence. The footage showed that Kofumi receives money from any account that can't be found.
"Then, how about Rikkun's live show? Won't it be trouble if fans feel it weird when Rikkun suddenly stops halfway?" Tamaki said he was worried.
"You right. They will take this chance to put Riku in a tough situation." Nori said it confidently.
"I can do both jobs as Nanase Riku and Kujou Tenn. It's pretty easy for me to be as Riku.At least we can finish the 3-day live show. I just need to read the script, right?" Tenn said it with certainty.
"Are you sure you can do that? you can act like Rikkun?" Tamaki were shock as he not sure with Tenn.
"Since we are twins, I know him more than anyone else." Tenn reassured Tamaki, "Trust me, I've been studying Riku's mannerisms and expressions for years. I can mimic him perfectly on stage."
"But Tenn, don't you have a photo shoot tomorrow? The time is the same as Nanase's live show." Gaku interjected, concerned about Tenn's conflicting schedule.
"Don't worry, Gaku. I will talk with the photographer and reschedule the photo shoot for the following day." Tenn assured him confidently.
"Kofumi-san is having a hard time too." Sougo said as he worried at Kofumi.
"I think I have a plan," Nori said. Nori gathers them and starts talking about the plan.

"Kou!" Kichiro came as soon as he got called by Kou about Riku finally being awake.
"Riku-chan fell asleep. He was so scared after waking up. Kou said.
"It's got to be his traumatised past. Can you stay a little longer with Riku? I need to find something." Kichiro asked, hoping Kou would agree to stay with Riku for a while longer.
Riku opened his eyes again and saw Kou playing with her phone. Riku's whole body was numb, and he didn't even remember what happened to him. Kou notices Riku's movement and quickly grabs Riku's hand.
"Riku-chan! You okay? Do you feel any pain in your body? Please let me know anything!" Kou said, as she was a little panicked.
"Kou-san...i am fine... j-just what happened?" Riku asked, his voice filled with confusion and concern. Kou was speechless when Riku didn't remember anything before.
You don't remember anything?" Kou ask. Riku shake his head. "Then, when the last thing you remember?"
"I was having rest while waiting for Yamato-san and Yuki-san..then I think I accidentally fell asleep, I think?" Riku said that as he was trying to remember what actually happened, he saw a date on Kou's phone. "Kou-san, how long have I been out?" Riku said while his hands were shaking.
"5 days.."
"H-how? I mean," Riku said as he was still in confuse.Kou quickly hugged Riku.

At the villa, the members are still busy handling their plans for the new song. Tamaki gave up and put his head on the table.
"It's no fun doing anything when Rikkun isn't around~~ It seems like we are having fun without Rikkun." Tamaki said it with an uninterested voice.
"Riku-kun haven't woke up. until now, it's make me more worry" Sougo said.
"But I really feel grateful that the contract can be cancelled. Thanks to Revale-san's manager, Yaotome Production, and our president too for successfully getting the full sponsor." Iori said.
"Thanks to Kujou too for taking Riku's place. I never thought everyone really believed it was Riku," Yamato said.
"Thanks to Nori-san and Nagi-san for noticing this and arranging it immediately," Tsumugi said while giving a warm smile to everyone.
"But Riku hasn't awakened yet; that's why we can't go back to our country," Mitsuki said. Then suddenly, Yamato's phone started ringing. He picked up the call.

At the hospital, "Kichiro-san! Kou-san!! Nori!! All of you guys will stay here??"Riku ask.
"Hahaha, of course, for your sake too. Thanks to Nagi-kun and the agency for letting us fly here and to make sure of your safety." Nori said as he pat Riku's head.
"Lately, I have been putting everyone in my problem." Riku said as his voice turned very down and depressed.
"Riku-chan. Don't say that; they always love you," Kou said with a smile.
"But I keep ruining everything! about this trip too! They must be disappointed since they were looking towards this." Riku said as he was about to cry.
"Riku, no one feels that way anyway, because there's planning this to turn you down.Your time, still, you will slowly got the effect and just let me know if you feel hurt" Kichiro said.Riku nodded.
