Riku went over his about what he should do. His driver most likely went back with his manager. And traveling alone after such a bad attack is dangerous, not to tell, he still has some difficulty breathing even with the inhaler on.
So the only option left is to agree to these two idols standing infront of him, no matter how much he hated it.
He still doesn't know what kind of people they are, but since they helped him, they couldn't be dangerous right?
Riku remembered that he saw these two with Tenn. And he saw a part of their performance in music festa before he was called to the backstage by the staff. He didn't really notice them as he was busy with Tenn and his bandmates.
Even when he was back in America, his adopted sister Aya used to talk about Re;vale and how much she loved their songs.
'So this is Re;vale... They don't seem like the scary and serious idols I saw on TV.' Riku thought as he stared up at the duo with curiosity. He had to admit, Re;vale's song are amazing, even though he didn't felt any sort of attachments towards Re;vale.
Their song 'Silver Sky' just so happened to be Riku's one of the favourites.
Now what to do? Do they hate him for how he behaved towards Tenn earlier? Not that their opinions about him matter, but he has to make sure they won't harm him.
But on the bright side, Re;vale and other idols are his rivals. He could use this opportunity to learn more about Yuki and Momo and their weaknesses.
Riku slowly removed the inhaler and said in a weak voice. "If manager said so, I can't possibly disobey her. I'll rest tonight at your house and leave tomorrow."
"You agreed rather quickly considering your attitude." Yuki raised an eyebrow.
Riku blinked up at him and Momo flinched.
"W-what he meant was...was... right! What he meant was that you made the right choice quickly! Traveling in this condition is a big no-no!" Momo desperately explained.
"Umm... okay?" Riku tilted his head that would have made him cute infront of Re;vale, if not for the frightening rumours about Riku that they heard from other idols who tried to be friendly with Riku.
Seeing that Riku wasn't offended, Momo let out a sigh of relief. "Okay Riku, let's get going. It's not okay to stay out late."
Momo grabbed Riku's hand and guided him outside, who followed without resistance. Yuki followed them.
For Riku, Yuki's comment caught him off guard. He knew about his reputation in the idol industry as the 'Rude Idol.' He turned down idols harshly who thought they could be friends with him. Soon everyone avoided him, which was exactly what he wanted.
However, no one ever dared to be rude towards him, knowing that if they did, his agency will destroy their careers. Re;vale is a well known band, so they should know all about his infamous reputation. Yet still... Yuki doesn't fear him?
'Just who are these two?' Riku couldn't help but wonder.
When they reached the parking area, Momo and Riku took the backseat and Yuki took the driver seat. Riku was curious as to why Momo wasn't sitting on the passenger seat, but didn't ask anyway.
The drive was silent, and Riku felt uncomfortable. For him, this situation felt like Re;vale was kidnapping him for making Tenn cry. He HAD to make some sort of conversation, which he forgot how to after he left the Nanase household.
"Your performance... was amazing..." Riku broke the silence.
The two idols seemed genuinely surprised hearing his compliment.
"Did you...watch us perform?" Momo slowly asked the boy.
"Mhm-mm." Riku nodded. "I was able to watch a little before I was called."
"Ahh...thank you. Your performance was legendary as usual." Momo smiled.
Riku shook his head. "My songs are nothing compared to yours. I could never write songs like yours."
"You mean... you listen to our songs?" Yuki's voice was strained, like he was holding himself back from doing something.
Riku suddenly felt self-conscious. Of course... He let out a bitter laugh. "I understand that you are angry about someone like me listening to your songs-"
Riku was cut off by Yuki's excited question. "What song did like the best!?"
Riku blinked in confusion. Yuki is not mad at him? "Umm... I liked Silver Sky... wait you're not mad at me?"
"Why would we be mad at you?" Momo asked.
"Because you probably don't want a person like me to listen to your songs?" Riku hesitantly replied.
"I don't care who listens to our songs. As long as they love it, it's fine." Yuki said.
Riku didn't know how to respond. So he continued to stare at the back of Yuki's head with some sort of... admiration.
Yuki and Momo made eye contact through the rearview mirror and nodded. The next moment, Yuki turned the van towards a dark tunnel.
