She was so familiar to him, as though she was a dream he had soon forgot and to her he was nothing at all but the person who made her glow and she wonders if she'll finally be able to say it- Unaware that it was fate tying them both together now; De...

Fureai Forest Campsite was the name of the place they decided to stop by. All cars parked and everyone of the members out of the vehicles to discuss what was going on.
"I have some business here. Mai and the others should leave for Tokyo first." Naru's face was unreadable as he avoided looking over the group whilst Akemi was to the side, making some phone calls nobody was able to understand due to their thought process blanking at the information given.
"Go back? But..." Mai glances to a busy Akemi and an urging Masako.
"You'll only get in my way here," Naru cuts off. Also sending the others a glare their way. "Go back."
'You you you!' Mai's temper slowly rose as Naru became even more confusing than a hormonal pregnant woman. 'Just what is going on with him?! As he said, we could only go back, but...'
Mai sighs, scratching her arm in the process. "How about you? When are you going back?"
"I don't know." Was his short reply, Akemi having already tucked away her phone as the others kept watch with baited breath over what was happening right in front of their eyes.
"You don't know? Then what's going to happen to the office in the mean time?"
In the end, it was Naru's reply that shocked them all.
"It will be closed."
"Clo— closed??" Mai felt a wave of panic flush all over her. The sudden coldness of the air made her shiver as she stared at Naru with wide shocked eyes of disbelief.
"That office will be closed upon my return." Chaos ensued around them at the sudden news.
"O—oi, Naru-bou, are you for real?" Naru simply glanced at Bou-san. When the young boss didn't reply, Mai turned to the only one that won't let her down— maybe assure her that Naru was only kidding.
But at the sight of Akemi's equal look of disbelief sold it. "Are you really closing it?" Akemi asked Naru, fully gaining his attention. Like to Bou-san, Naru didn't speak.
"Will it be closed permanently?" He remained quiet, knowing his answer might only hurt her further.
It wasn't until his eyes softened, his voice less firm but his solid decision remains. "You should go and look for somewhere else to work, Akemi. Make sure to close the office once you get back."
"But what—" Naru turns to Mai.
"Mai, you should also go and look for somewhere else to work since I'll be shutting down the office-" Now it was real.
"Shutdown?!" The others yelled behind Mai, making the high school and heiress lightly jump at the sudden volume.
'W-woah.' Both assistants thought as they saw the pure fire in their eyes. 'They looked as panicked as we are...'
