°Anesagi's POV°

After hearing from the two colorful sunshines that they manage to convince Tenn, Banri-san insisted to stay over to watch my boys do their skit. After almost beating the crap out of him if it wasn't for Ryuu and Tsumugi, he swore to do his part as manager and keep an eye out on Tenn. Since the other two members are practically adults, they will be monitoring on the sets since the managers cannot interfere unless the idols are finished.

"I hope I can trust your buddy over there, you two..." I momentarily give in while glaring at two seniors victory faces as I start the car. The last two I7 members manage to get in the van on time before making our way towards the auditorium.

"I'm surprised to know that Mrs. Lee helped us organized the fansign today. The last time I organized something important , it backfired horribly!" The blonde manager mentioned before noticing the boys either still fixing themselves or hooked up in learning hangul to prevent any language barrier. Some of them are even improving.

"Well you have nothing to worry, maneko-chan~ She is one of those successful business-minded people who wants something fresh and meaningful for a change. Arranging an event with japanese idols as hosts are no different with American group idols who held fanmeets in Asian countries before us~" Momo eased things up for my blood pressure as his albino prince of a partner joins him to give confidence with the rest of the rookies.

"It's quite an exclusive offer from Lee Somi herself, so Tenn-kun, being her favorite idol back in the day, is a big scoop for all of us since she's a hard lady to pleased. She already has a word about your group being a colorful bunch of slippery paint brushes trying to create something out of thin air, maneko-chan~"

"What does that m-mean?" I heard Osaka Sougo-kun was quick to question the confusing statement.

"It means that you guys lack the passion of giving in to other emotions besides joy. Since your music style is jolly and filled with determination to spread your music worldwide, she is looking for something that can make her fangirl mode go nuts forever. Something out of the imagination... Like Tenn-san's previous songs, she is looking specifically for emotions that expresses your music and dance into a story. Joy, anger, sadness, longing, falling in love and etcetera. Not just flashy choreographies. IDOLiSH7 has a lot of meaningful and catchy songs, but you guys never really dug much deeper other than sing and dance the lyrics..." Ai thoroughly explained while being squeezed between the two Izumi brothers.

Rinto insisted her to come in case anything goes wrong. Besides being a translator, she knows the flow of the program, so in case the boys ever forgets or got confused, she can help. But since my lady instincts keep kicking in, she mostly agreed to spend more time with that orange shortie. Especially when she asked if he's doing okay after noticing him, avoiding eye contact while seeming to look in pain.

"N-Never better! Just a little nauseous o-over today's program!"

"Mikki..."

"Later, Tamaki-kun. After the event..." the sunshine shortie insisted before my eyes gaze at Ai handing him some medicine and water bottle, which is not much, but his cheeks went more flushed than before from the sweet gesture and urge not worry and that's he's okay. However, she's not buying it.

Talk about love at first sight and stubbornness... Can't say the same for me... I thought while glancing at the blond and charming Northmarean member of I7 that is helping his leader translate the different names of beer in hangul. Still, my worry lingers back on Tenn.

That kid... Before all of this, he begged me to chose any country besides South Korea for the album, but since the majority of most childhood memories of the three groups are connected to that place, I let TRIGGER join in. Japan is a nice place, but the connection is also important. And when we arrived, I then only realized what he means.
