"So you all will be moving out?" I clarify.

"Yep!" Reiji cheers. "We need to work on our teamwork if we want to beat you."

"I still think it's a bad idea." Ai states.

"I'm worried." Cecil comments.

"We wish you well." Masato bows.

"Tch. I don't like this." Ranmaru doesn't look too excited.

"Relax Ranmaru. You haven't even tried it." Ren tries to encourage them.

"The apartment is more than enough to fit all of us!" Reiji pouts at their lack of enthusiasm.

"That's obviously not the problem fool." Camus glares at Reiji.

"I'm starting to get worried too." Syo worries for them.

"I think they'll be fine." Tokiya states with a bit of hesitation.

"You think?" I raise a brow at him. "Are you sure about that?"

"Maybe." He admits to the obvious.

They soon move out of the apartment with the help of the guys. I would have helped but work got in the way. We all managed to bid them farewell and even exchanged contact information with each other. To some hesitance from others.

"We'll keep in contact about our song!" Reiji waved goodbye and they went on their way.

The day ended rather well. STARISH and I managed to talk about the plans for their teaser song. But not enough to start on.

I head back to my room and immediately hit the bed. That was until Tokiya came by to visit.

"Missed me already?" I ask with not much energy left.

"No comment." He sits on the bed beside me.

"I missed you and the others too." I signal him for a hug.

"You've been working with our seniors a lot after all." He settles down and envelops me with a hug. "We could all tell that you're tired."

"Very much so." I squeeze him harder.

"Did they give you a hard time?" He runs circles on my back making me relax.

"N- I'm not even gonna lie. It was hard." I sigh remembering the stuff I had to go through. "It wasn't all bad though."

"Your songs were amazing." He looks at me with his piercing eyes. "They sang it so well we began to doubt our abilities."

"Is this about the transfer thing?" I look at him worriedly and he nods. "Now I'm starting to think this was my fault."

"That's not it at all." He took a second to speak again. "We're just feeling the pressure. We don't want to lose you."

"I don't want to lose you guys as well." I lean on his chest. "Nothing against them but we all started this together. Our bond runs deeper than theirs."

"That's why we'll do our best." Tokiya pats my head. "We won't lose."

We spent the night chatting until we fell asleep. But before I slept an idea came to mind. This was to keep the competition fair and honest. My feelings can't be changed and this could affect the results. So I was determined to get this idea of mine approved.

I enter the office of Uncle which I had requested and spoke with him. A few days had passed when I first initially thought about it and the entire time I was trying to convince Uncle to approve of it. He still wasn't budging but I wasn't going to give up.

In those few days I had been meeting with QUARTET NIGHT to discuss their song teaser but we barely managed to make any progress.

I exit his office again, unsuccessful. Then suddenly my phone rings and it was Ai.

"Could you come over?" He didn't even greet me first and went straight to the point.

"It must be serious." I check the time to see that it was 3 hours early for our planned meeting. "What is it now?"

I didn't even need to ask when I hear Camus and Ranmaru arguing in the background.

"Ah..."

"Reiji's not stopping them and it's getting too noisy." Ai tried to silence them but just got shouted at. "As you could tell I've tried."

If trying was just saying 'stop fighting' I wouldn't consider that trying at all. Though it was already unusual that Reiji wasn't stopping them at all. I've noticed that from the few times I've visited. He just stared at them while they fought.

I suddenly remembered what Ms.Ringo told me before. 'Reiji is the one holding them together. Without him, the group will fall apart.'

"I'll be there as soon as I can."

He ends the call with a bye. After having a quick meal with the group I packed my stuff to meet with QUARTET NIGHT in their apartment.

"Take care!" Otoya waves in my direction.

"May the muses guide you." Cecil prays.

"Good luck!!" Natsuki cheers me on.

"You got this!" Syo gives me a thumbs up.

"Don't forget about us." Ren sends a wink.

"We wish you well." Masato smiles.

"Don't stress yourself too much." Tokiya kisses my cheek.

"Thank you, guys." I smile, knowing it was strange as I was helping their competitors. "I'll be back soon."

I head to the car and made my way there.

Now, how are they handling things over there?
