Early in the morning, like usually,all of them are doing their routine. Mitsuki is always the one who wakes up early to make breakfast for the other members. Then Sougo will get up and help Mitsuki clean around. They had off days for a few days because of the investigation into who was trying to drug Riku. They don't dare to open that investigation report yet, fearing what Riku might find out again. All the production had to hold any activities or events until the investigation was resolved.
"Good morning, everyone!" Nagi said it with a bright smile.
"Good morning too, Nagi-kun. Do you want tea?" Sougo asked.
"I'll go with lemon tea!" Nagi said it with a hint of excitement in his voice. Sougo nodded and made that drink for Nagi.
Then Iori just joined them too. He volunteered himself, but Mitsuki refused it because he said he was almost done.
"Then, I will check on Nanase-san," Iori said.
"I will go with you," Tamaki said, who just woke up and joined the room. They both left the room together. Both of them are heading to Riku's room. Before that,they knocked on the door first, but there was no response. They think that Riku may still be asleep or not in the room.
"Sorry Rikkun! We will enter your room!" Tamaki shouted, and Riku wasn't there.
"Nanase-san?" Iori looked in Riku's room, but there was no sign of him. The needle was opened by Riku.
Both of them quickly let the other member know that Riku wasn't in his room. Riku didn't bring his phone or his inhaler either. They are afraid that something will happen to Riku.
"I hope Riku-kun will be fine." Sougo said.
"I already let the manager know about this. I seriously don't know Riku was out." Mitsuki said.
"No one knows. We better split up and try to find Riku nearby," Yamato said.
"Okay!" All of them said. They start looking for Riku.
After a few minutes,they still don't find him yet. They were hoping that Riku would be fine because the rain was getting heavier. Suddenly, Yamato's phone rang. It was from Tennessee. All of them got scared. They haven't told Tenn about Riku being missing.
"Hello? What can I do for you?" Yamato ask.
"Why is Riku soacked by rain here? You guys letting him stay here?" Tenn sounds so angry.
"Wait,Riku was there? Can you send the address? We will explain this to you later, so let's settle this first. Please stay with Riku for a while." Yamato said.
Riku is standing there,in front of someone's tomb. Riku is only standing there while rain pours at him. Tenn tries to pull Riku to stay under the roof, but Riku doesn't want to and keeps standing there.
"Riku! You will get sick! You know your attack will get worse!" Tenn said it with anger, but Riku didn't respond to him. Tenn was about to grab Riku's hand, but Riku flinched away. "Riku!" shouted Tenn as Riku ran away and headed to the forest. Tenn quickly chased after Riku, worried about his safety. He knew that Riku often sought solace in the forest when he was upset, but Tenn also knew that it wasn't safe to be alone there, especially in the pouring rain. Determined to bring Riku back to safety, Tenn called out his name once more and continued running after him. "Riku stop! Your attack!". Tenn is letting Idolish7 know his location right now and will continue to chase Riku.
Tenn and Riku are really in the depths of that forest. Tenn finally got to stop Riku. The rain getting heavy made Tenn's vision not very clear to see the way.Both of them were standing in the rain. Tenn is only afraid that Riku might get a worse attack.
"Riku,we better find some safe place first. You might get attacked," Tenn said.
"I have to save someone." Riku said. Tenn finally notices that Riku is not the Riku that he knows. Tenn's heart sank as he realised that something was seriously wrong with Riku. The determination in his eyes was unfamiliar, and Tenn couldn't help but worry about who Riku was trying to save. Despite his own concerns, Tenn knew he had to support Riku and find a safe place for both of them before it was too late.
"Riku, look at me; know,there's no one around!" Tenn said he wanted to test first.
"They told me that man left my younger sister alone here! I need to save her!" Riku said.
"You are not Riku, right!? You better get out of Riku!" Tenn said.
"How did you know?"
"Because it did happen before too!" Tenn said. "Someone get inside Riku for asking some of their greedy requests!"
"Then,if you want me not to bother your brother,you should help me find my younger sister." Tenn hesitated for a moment, contemplating Riku's request. He knew that helping him find his younger sister would mean putting himself at risk, but he also couldn't ignore the desperation in Riku's eyes. Finally,
Tenn nodded and said, "Alright, I'll help you find your sister. But remember, once this is over, you need to leave Riku and never come back."
"Okay..deal."
-=-=-=-=-=-=-
After a few hours of searching for his younger sister, Tenn began to worry that they were running out of time. The urgency in Riku's voice grew with each passing minute, fueling Tenn's determination to find his younger sister. They combed through every possible hiding spot, leaving no stone unturned. That soul is using Riku's body and worries if Riku will get worse effects. Tenn's concern deepened as he noticed the toll the search was taking on Riku. He couldn't help but wonder if the souls inhabiting Riku's body were causing him harm and if continuing this quest would worsen his condition.
"Hey,how did you know about this body too? You said it had happened before. So you must be familiar with this situation, right?" he asks.
"Because he is my younger brother's twin. Of course, it did happen before! After that soul leaves Riku's souls,it leaves a big effect on Riku." Tenn said.
"I see. I'm sorry for using your brother's body. Thanks for helping me."
"Actually, we need to hurry before the rain gets heavy again." Tenn said.
They keep searching everywhere, even when the rain won't stop. Suddenly, Tenn saw a young girl sleeping under the tree. Riku's body is running towards her and hugging her tightly.
"She's still alive! I will call them to come as fast as they can, together with the police and ambulance." Tenn said.
"Rika! I am very sorry."
Not long after that,Tenn saw so many flashlights coming over. It was the rescue team and other members. When they saw Tenn hug a young girl,they quickly wrapped Riku and Tenn in a raincoat and saved them. Idolish7 and Trigger were there too, providing support and comfort to Tenn and Riku.
-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"Here's the warm paack. You should warm yourself first," the paramedic said to Tenn and Riku.
"Glad that both of you are safe. That girl is safe too; don't worry." Mitsuki said.
"Thanks for helping me save my younger sister. I thought she would die. But really, thank you so much, Tenn. As I promise, I will never bother this body again."
"Again?" Tenn confuse. Once he left Riku's body,Riku opened his eyes and looked around.
"Everyone? Tenn? Wha-" Riku suddenly passed out and got caught by Tenn.
"He's burning! Hey! Call the doctor here!!" Tenn shout.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"Hey! Thank you for letting me use your body. If it were you and your brother,my younger sister might die there alone. I really appreciate your kindness." that souls said and bowed at Riku.
"That's the only thing I can help you with." Riku said it with a smile.
-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Riku slowly opened his eyes, but it really felt so heavy. He only heard Tenn's voice.
"101 celcious? That high?" Tenn was very shocked that Riku was having a high fever.
"Tenn,you should stay in the hospital too! Your head is hot too! They said you stayed under the rain for too long," Gaku said as he grabbed Tenn's hand.
"But Riku has a higher fever than me!"
"Kujou-san, Yamato-san, and Mitsuki-kun will take care of Riku-kun. You should rest too," Sougo said.
"We will stay with you too. They can take care of Nanase. Just think about yourself first." Gaku said.
"We promise that Riku-kun will be fine. I'm sure you don't want Riku-kun to see you like that, right?" Sougo said it with a small smile. Tenn thought Sougo was right. They really can take care of Riku.
"Okay, I believe I leave Riku in good time for this time," Tenn said.
In Riku's ward,he was alone. There's no one around. He tried to call anyone, but he was too weak to do that. He's eyes are getting heavier, and he's finally going back to sleep.
"Maybe just for a minute." Riku said it alone.
-==—==-=—=-=—=-=-=-
At Takanashi Production, I have already decided. Let's do it like he told us in this picture!" Tsumugi.
"But it will risk Riku's life." Nori said.
"I know,but this is the best for protecting Riku-san's secret. If this picture can help Riku-san, I will do it." Tsumugi said.
"That picture shows Riku's family theatre, and that theatre is still under Riku's name, but they faked the document and took away Nanase's family's own. They are working so hard at this theatre." Nori said.
"If we use this as planned,first Riku-san will get everything that belongs to Nanase's family." Tsumugi said.
"Then everyone will ask why and the reason. How can Riku own that theatre when Kujou-san buys that place?" Nori said.
"Kujou-san?" Tsumugi ask
"Sorry,it's not Kujou-san I mention, but Hwak! It's Kujou Takamasa,Kujou Tenn's foster father. In order for Tenn's sake and safety, Riku and Tenn's existence is not known by people around them." Nori said.
"Then,like your plan, you want to reveal that picture?" Tsumugi ask.
"I will think about it again. I said I should think more about Riku's own safety. I will let you know later." Nori said. Tsumugi only nodded.

At the hospital,Kichiro came to look into Riku's condition. He was very shocked after hearing Riku had a high fever. That's why Kichiro quickly checked on him. When Kichiro knocked on the door, Riku had already fallen asleep. He checked Riku's temperature, and it's still high. He was very worried about Riku's condition. The last time Riku got a high fever like this was the day after Riku's parents passed away. Kou just entered the room and saw Kichiro sitting next to Riku.
"Riku-chan, I heard that Riku-chan had a high fever!" Kou said. She quickly went to Riku and checked his temperature.
"Can you help me, Kou?" Kichiro said it with a sad voice. Kou only nodded.
After a few moments later,Tenn just awoke and found out only Ryunosuke was sleeping on the sofa. He feels better than before. He went to see Riku. He left the room quietly, without Ryunosuke knowing. When he was heading to Riku's room,he saw Kou and Kazuko just leaving Riku's room.
"Tenn-chan? Are you feeling better already? You should lay on your bed. Your face is still red and pale." Kou said.
"I'm fine. How Riku? I am here for Riku." Tenn said.
"Don't worry,Riku is fine. He's still in a dangerous state. His lastest temperature is still high, so Kichiro-san stays with Riku. You don't have to worry about it right now. You should worry about yourself first." Kazuko said. Tenn looks so worried about Riku.
"Tenn-chan,let me drop you off at your room. Riku-chan will be fine. You know him better than us, Tenn-chan." Kou said as her hand held Tenn's shoulder. Tenn only gives a weak smile.
Kou and Kazuko walk together to send Tenn to his room. At the same time, Ryunosuke is out of breath after running to search for Tenn.
"Tenn! Where did you go? You should let me know! You made me worry," Ryunosuke said.
"Sorry, I just want to see Riku, Tenn said as he looked down the floor.
"I know you are always honest with your feelings of love towards Riku-kun,right?" Ryunosuke said to Tenn, which made him blush and look away. Kou and Kazuko only chuckle at Tenn's tsundere.
"Then, I will check on you later, Tenn-chan. Please just rest more. I'm sure Riku-chan will get better soon too. Kou said. Tenn nods and bows as a thank-you for taking care of Riku.
Inside Riku's room, Kichiro is taking his off time from working to take care of Riku. He still remembers the day Riku got a high fever that almost reached critical.

"Mom,dad, I know you are still here! Don't hide from me!" Riku shouted alone in his room while crying. Kichiro knows it was hard for Riku to accept these things happening to him.
"Riku,you should take a breath. Your attack will get worse," Kichiro said.
"I'm fine!! Kichiro-san! Please call my parents! They know that I hate staying here!" Riku said this while crying more.
"Riku, your attack is getting worse if you are still like this. You need to take your inhaler now." Kichiro said as he grabbed Riku's hand. He found out that Riku's body had a high temperature. Riku lost his senses and fainted. It's almost been 5 days until Riku's fever cools down. Kichiro didn't come to work for 5 days either, just to take care of Riku until he was stable.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"Mom, I'm sorry for not being a healthy child like Tenn-nii." Riku said while in his sleep. Kichiro only caressed Riku's hand to make sure Riku didn't feel alone.
"Riku,you will be fine. As long as I'm here, I will be here for you, no matter what. Your friend is still waiting for you," Kichiro said.
"I want to be like Tenn-nii,but I couldn't because I'm not strong or good enough to do something perfectly like what Tenn-nii does in everything." Riku said as he started to cry again. Kichiro is trying his best to comfort Riku.
"Riku, your parents are already proud of you right now. I bet they are really happy to see their son doing his best here to make people smile." Kichiro said.
"I'm sorry, Riku cried, and his attack got him. Kichiro quickly took the oxygen mask and wore it to Riku.
The next day, Tenn was finally discharged after Kou gave him a medicine.Anesagi came to the hospital to pick up Tenn. Tenn actually wants to meet Riku before he leaves, but Kichiro is still inside with Riku.
"I'm very sorry, Tenn-chan. Kichiro-san won't allow anyone to get inside to visit Riku-chan; even his members can't visit him yet. It was just for awhile. You know Riku-chan's state is not stable yet." Kou said.
"Was Riku like that before? "I mean, did he get a high fever like that before?" Tenn asks.
"Well,this is the third time for Riku-chan to have a high fever like this. If I'm not mistaken,the first time he got a high fever like that was when Riku-chan witnessed something about your parents' tragedy. Then the last time he got like that was on the day of his first camping school. Since then, Riku-chan has never joined any activities at school because he was afraid of his condition." Kou said.
"How? Can I know how Riku's doing now? If I can't meet him, please, at least I should know his condition right now, because I'm still his brother." Tenn said.
"Don't worry,his fever is going down a bit, but he is still under our care to watch his temperature. He will be fine after a few days." Kichiro said he just came out of Riku's room.
"Thank you,but when will I be able to visit Riku?" Tenn ask.
"Riku will be discharged if his fever is around 40 °C." Right now, it is still reaching 80. I will be the one to keep looking at his state. Don't worry about it anymore." Kichiro said.
"Please let me know anything about Riku's condition." Tenn said.
"You know it already, right? If Kujou Takamasa finds out that you stay with Riku,he won't like it." Kichiro said. Tenn almost forgot about his boundaries. i
In the practice room,they still do their practice even though Riku isn't with them. All of them really worry about Riku, who is still in the hospital, and are shocked after what happened now.
"I thought a high fever like that didn't exist, but it's really happening around me,Tamaki said.
"That's made us grow a lot of worries towards Riku. Kichiro-san is even not allowing anyone to visit Riku for a few days." Mitsuki said.
"Kou-san told me if Riku's temperature is stable,he can be discharged," Yamato said.
"Then,all we have to do is hope everything will be fine for Nanase-san." Iori said.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
At the Takanashi Production office,Nori and Tsumugi just finished something.
"Kichiro-san said Riku will be out for a few days,so we have to use this chance and make sure it's not reaching Riku, Nori said.
"I see. Then should we start now?" Tsumugi said.
"Yes, I think we can start now." Nori said. Tsumugi actually still hesitates, but there's no choice for Tsumugi.
"I will start now," Tsumugi said.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
"Nanase Riku idolish7's centre actually owns a big theather?"
All the people click the link about the real story of Riku's past. There are so many pictures that show Riku was very happy at that time, together with his family. Tenn's face has already been edited. No one will find out about Tenn's secret.
"Hey,Tenn,there's trending about your brother again." Gaku said. Gaku shows the highlights of that article.
Tenn looked very panicky and quickly snatched the phone from Gaku's hand. He looked at every picture inside the article and found out that his face had already blurred. Most of the picture had a blurry Tenn's face.
"Why do you look so panicky, Tenn? Is this true?" Gaku ask.
"The story before I left is true,but I don't know what happened after that." Tenn said.
"Riku-kun's life is not good after that. They even tell a story about Riku-kun getting thrown at the orphanage house." Ryunosuke said. Tenn still reads everything.
-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-
At the hospital,Kichiro already knows about their plan to reveal Riku's story from the past. Tsumugi and Nori have already discussed this with Kichiro.
-=-=-past-=-=-
"Someone send this to us and this message too,Tsumugi said as she showed it to Kichiro. Kichiro looked at the letter, and the picture was taken. "Actually, I need your approval to let me do what the message says," Tsumugi said.
To: Takanashi Production
"I'm sorry for sending everything about Nanase Riku's private life, but actually, with this, I'm sure I can help Nanase Riku get what he's entitled to. I already wrote out the plan in the paper. At first,it will shock the world with Nanase Riku's past, but at the same time,this will change Nanase Riku's life too. This might hurt, but please believe me, no one will hate him no matter what; they will stand in front of him and defend him. I will do my best to protect Riku from far away. Just read the plan and get approval from Kichiro-san,Nanase Riku's guardian, or, I could say, a parent. After you do according to this plan, I will make my move." Please don't let Riku read this message. Everything that I plan, I clip with the picture.
"That's to say,Riku actually knows this person who wrote this letter, right?" Kichiro said.
"Something like that. This plan really wants to get everything back that Nanase's family lost. The asset was originally under Riku's name, but I don't know who stole everything from this family and faked that will." Nori said.
"But will Riku-san accept this?" Tsumugi wondered.
"He doesn't know anything about this. If he knew about this too,he should be the one who disappointed." Kichiro said that he's the one who has been taking care of Riku since Riku lost his parents.
"We should do this when he has a chance," Nori said.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
All the people start to question Riku's past article, while Riku is still fighting with his fever. Some of Riku's fans are curious about Riku, and some of them are still giving their support and standing for Riku no matter what they have read about Riku's past.
"I think that's why Riku-kun is very talented! Because of his parents managing a theatre and even owning a theatre too!"
"It's really sad that Riku witnessed his parents' deaths. Don't worry, Riku; I will always support you! Keep fighting!"
"He must be suffering after losing both parents in a blink of an eye."
At the idolish 7 dorm,everyone was very surprised by the article that they just read. It's already getting the top highlight. At the same time,they are really worried about Riku.
"We learn more about Riku's past,Yamato said.
"I got this—something wrong with the article." Sougo said. Iori looks at Sougo.
"What do you mean, Sou-chan? Tamaki asks.
"I think I understand Osaka-san's." Iori said.
"Iori?" Mitsuki blanked and looked at his younger brother.
"Do you guys ever notice why this article got posted when Nanase-san was fighting his life at the hospital?" Iori asks them about his perfect high school student. "This article will be temporarily posted and soon deleted too. This is why Kichiro-san is not allowing us to visit Nanase-san too."
"So you are trying to say we can't trust Kichiro-san too?" Sougo ask.
"I hate to admit it, but my mind is thinking that. But we can wait for Nanase-san and ask Kichiro-san again." Iori said.
-=-=-=—=-=-=-=-=-
In the room,Riku was trying to breathe. His vision was blurry as he tried to call someone around. Riku keeps calling, but no one hears him.
"Riku?" Riku's eyes tried to open and look at the person calling his name. In his eyes,he only sees Tenn holding his hand. "Tenn-nii?"
"Riku,you already did your best until now,Tenn said, which made Riku confused.
"Tenn-nii, what are you saying?" Riku ask.
"Good job,Tenn said as he saw Tenn smiling.
"Tenn-nii. I'm very sorry."
The person that Riku sees is actually Kichiro, not Tenn.
"Riku..." Kichiro worried. He held Riku's hand tightly. "Everything will be fine."
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
At the cafe,Riku was waiting for someone. He ordered a lemon tea while waiting for someone. He seems to be enjoying the scenery, and there is no need to worry about people seeing him. The waiter smiled at Riku because she found out that she was so adorable.
"Riku,did you wait for me for too long?" Tenn ask. Riku was smiling and showing that he was very happy to see his dear brother.
"No! I really look forward to this day!" Riku said while smiling and running towards Tenn. Suddenly the blood was splattered on Riku's face, and we saw Tenn get stabbed. Riku's chest started to get tighter, making it hard to breathe.
"Tenn-nii!!" Riku shouted and cried along with his attack too. Kichiro quickly hugged Riku.
"Riku,calm down! Nothing will happen! Everyone was fine!" Kichiro said while caressing his back.
"I saw Tenn-nii get stabbed. He's still there. He wants to kill Tenn-nii!" Riku said.
"Riku,no one is going to hurt you and your brother. It's a nightmare." Kichiro said.
"But what if that dream-" suddenly someone that only Riku can see disturbs Riku's moment.
"It will happen!" thing said. Riku's hands were shaking. He was shutting his mouth and not saying anything.
—===—-=-=-=————————————==
A few days later,they finally stopped talking about Riku's article and didn't dare bring it up them.Riku's condition are getting improve too and allowed to back dorm so soon.At the same time,Riku still worries about what he saw in his dream and what things are saying.
"Riku,you medicine. You should control yourself because you are still in a weak state. You fever is still high." Kichiro said.
"Okay,thank you very much." Riku said. Banri is the one who picks Riku up from the hospital. The other members were busy with their jobs.
"Riku-kun,you should get yourself a full rest since Kichiro-san said your fever is still high right now," Banri said.
"Okay...i will." Riku said.
Banri is heading to the dorm. On their way to the dorm,they will pass a famous cafe. Riku saw a familiar cafe, like in his dream, where Tenn got killed. He's athma attack starts to act up. Banri heard Riku's breath and quickly stopped the van. He was rushing to search for Riku's things and hand Riku his inhaler.
"Riku-kun,are you okay now?" Banri ask.
"I'm fine right now. Thanks Banri-san. I actually saw a similar cafe." Riku still talks about what he saw in his dream.
"Riku-kun,look at me now and calm down." Banri said. Riku got his senses back and hugged Banri out of nowhere.
—-=======——====—-
At the idolish7's dorm,Banrii just finished sending Riku to his room. Not long after that,the member just came back from their schedule. They meet Banri first, who just came out of Riku's room.
"Eh!? Ban-chan? What are you doing here?" Tamaki ask.
"Oh,just finish taking care of Riku-kun while you guys are out. He is sleeping right now. Kichiro-san said. Riku-kun is still having a fever. So if anything happens,please call me quickly." Banri said. They nod.
A few hours later,Iori went to check on Riku first. He headed to Riku's room and knocked on it before he entered the room. Iori slowly opened the door and saw Riku still sleeping.
"Guys,Kichiro-san told us to check on Riku's temperature every 2 hours and keep him updated," Mitsuki said.
"Then, I will go check Riku's condition," Yamato said.
"I made something warm that Riku-kun can drink," said Sougo.
"I will help you with cook something fro Riku to eat." said Mitsuki.
So they go to the kitchen and do their things.They want to make sure everything perfect for Riku.
"Ah!! I forgot to inform this to Kujou" said Mituski.
"Don't worry,maybe Kichiro-san already tell Kujou about Riku's discharge." said Yamato.
"Honestly, I still don't understand about Riku's past"said Nagi who open the question.
"Actually president did warn us not to say anything about Riku's past" said Yamato.
"For the time being, let's just focus on Riku-kun's condition first." said Sougo.
At the Riku's room,Riku open his eyes and only staring at the window.Riku still remember that dream and the cafe too.He was afraid if it really happen.His hand can stop shaking.
"Riku! Why you awake! You should sleep more," that ghost saying.
"How can I sleep whne that dream still haunted me?" said Riku.
"Are you talking about the dream? About your brother will die?" said that ghost made Riku look at him.
"How did you know?" Riku ask.
"because,i come here to let you know,your brother will got killed at their anniversarry concert" said thta ghost.
"W-what??!! Don't kidding with me!" said Riku.
"Yes, I'm telling you the truth! You should believe me. That really happened to your parents, right?" said that ghost.
"Please tell me more about what will happen!? I will do anything to save Tenn-nii."
"Riku-kun? With who you talking?"Sougo ask.
"Sougo-san! When trigger's concert!?"Riku ask with panic.
"Next week before our concert? Why? What happen? You look so pale Riku-kun!"Sougo ask but RIku look away.
"It's nothing,i just want to know.Sorry for make you worry Sougo-san..." said Riku.
"Riku-kun,if you want to go watch Trigger's concert,you have to fully recover from your fever." Sougo said.Riku nod.
"Okay,i will do my best to take care of myself.Thanks for always taking care of me." said Riku.
"Don't worry, we'll do our best to help you too," Sougo said.
