Only One of Us

Time leap

Nine looked around at the group, who now enjoy each other's presence on their own time, not just when singing. He smiled fondly at them all.
After Kyubin joined their circle and started covering songs along with their original music, it felt manageable.
As they all sat at the round table for their monthly meetup, Mill spoke up. "Look, we're getting more views on everything on the account!" He beamed showing the rest of the views amassed around the different apps.
All of their music was featured in various playlists and on apps like Spotify to Youtube and got verified on all of their accounts.
It felt rewarding.
By now, they were famous within their school and even outside the school. Even though this was their last year, excluding KB, it's their most memorable. They wondered what to do after school and if they'd still stay together. Nine thinks about it from time to time but urges himself to remain in the present and be happy with it.
He very much is.
"What's wrong Nine?" Rie asked with concern etched on his face.
"It's almost the end." He held a bittersweet smile.
"Says who? We can keep going," Yoojung said. "It doesn't have to be the end."

Junji nodded silently and Mill agreed with an enthusiastic head nod.

Nine looked at the horizon, the sun was setting. He hopes to accept whatever is coming his way gracefully.

"Well then," He spoke up. "I want to keep making memories and music with you all."
