Compromise

Chapter 6

I can't believe what Ryosuke~kun said. My father was just confused that time and maybe he was left with no other choice but that...

But if I were to choose, I could've just had a part time job that time... It's also my fault because I was useless... Why should this happen?

I miss my father! I want to go back to him... can I? But... it was in the deal that I can no longer see him...

This is really painful... I wish I could see my father...

I went to my room. Covered myself with the blanket and cried until I can no longer feel any pain... But... Is that even possible?

Another day of work... Well everyday is a working day...

I just sat on the bench in their rehearsal studio. There's a big mirror for them to see how they move. They are rehearsing for their dance routine of their new single "Ride with Me." They look cool with the dance though they have many mistakes while practicing it.

"Okay. Break!" yelled their dance instructor who was occasionally looking at me while he was teaching them the dance routine.

Daiki~san went towards me and put his arm over my shoulders. I smiled at him and he smiled back.

"Waaah~ I couldn't do the step well," he complained.

"All of us couldn't do the dance routine that well, actually," Yabu~kun said who sat beside me.

"Well maybe because the routine is too fast," Hikaru~kun said who stood in front of me. "Don't you think so, Ai~chan?" he asked with that sheepish smile.

"H-hai," I nodded. Sometimes, I do think that Hikaru~kun is a bit scary... I don't know but he has that authoritative aura whenever he's talking or asking in spite of his jolly smile.

Well, he's the same with Yabu~kun. Both of them are authoritative but Hikaru~kun is more persuasive. While sometimes Yabu~kun is intimidating specially when he's wearing his serious face.

"Uwaaaaa~! Tsukareta!!!" Nakajima~kun complained while walking towards us and he's with Chinen~kun. As I was looking at them approaching us, I had another glimpse of their instructor looking at me.

"Doozo," Chinen~kun was giving a yakitori bun to me.

"Ah... D-doomo," I bowed slightly then got the bun. I felt chill in my spine... That instructor is really looking at me intently. .. But why?

"Doushita no?" Chinen~kun asked.

"Ah... N-none," I looked down.

"Ah! Maybe because of our instructor. He's looking toward us the whole time," Daiki~san said.
