One evening, Asuka is on her way home when she notices a familiar figure walking toward a well-known studio—Chayney's practice building.

She slows down, her heart skipping.

Asuka (thinking):
I should go home... but that looked like Y/n.

Curiosity wins. She quietly follows.

Inside the quiet street near the studio—

Y/n (softly):
I feel like I'm being followed...

Asuka:
Y/n!!!

Y/n spins around, eyes wide.

Y/n:
Asuka-san... what are you doing here?

Asuka:
I should be asking you that. Why are you outside Chayney's agency?

Y/n:
I'm visiting Chayney.
And why are you so worried about me?

Asuka:
Because Dan said you haven't been yourself lately.

Y/n's expression hardens.

Y/n:
Dan-kun... he's worried?
I thought he forgot about me. He only cares about you now.

She turns and walks toward the entrance.

Asuka:
Y/n! Wait!

Asuka rushes after her.

Y/n (angry):
Why are you following me? You should go back to the boys—to 8LOOM!

She pulls her arm away.

Asuka:
I'm not letting you near Chayney like this. You know they're idols.

Y/n:
I know.
But I like being around them more than 8LOOM... more than you.

Asuka flinches.

Asuka:
That's not true. Chayney has been nothing but mean to 8LOOM.

Y/n:
It doesn't matter anymore.
8LOOM likes you for you. They hate me.

She looks away, voice trembling.

Y/n:
That's why I moved out. I never went back to that house... the one with you and them.

Asuka (shocked):
Then... where are you living now?

Y/n (hesitating):
I—I'm staying with Minato... from Chayney.
Why do you keep asking?

Asuka:
Because I'm your older sister.
Please come home—to us.

Y/n:
No.

She pulls something from her bag.

Y/n:
This is my last present for 8LOOM.

Her phone vibrates.

Y/n:
Minato's calling. I have to go. I'll text you later, okay?

Asuka (softly):
Y/n... 8LOOM and I miss you.

Y/n pauses, eyes gentle.

Y/n:
I know.
It's been a while since I saw them.

She smiles sadly.

Y/n:
Tell them I said hi.
And please... stop talking about me in front of them.

Asuka:
Fine. But if they ask, they'll find you eventually.

Y/n:
Maybe.

She waves and walks inside the studio.

Asuka (whispering):
...Y/n.
